Before 39-years-old Mrs. Elsie Rose Newlands, slight, dark-haired, took her place in the dock at the Mansion House recently charged with the murder of her husband, Francis Cyril Newlands, aged 40, steward of block of offices and flats at Temple Chambers, E.C., she made a vow to herself.

It was this:

"I am innocent. If this is proved, as I know it will be, I shall start life again with a new sense of values. I shall know that many people who claim themselves friends are not what they pre- tend to be; that they change their outlook when they fear that claims may be made on their friendship."

Experts say that "in normal times" it would be worth £200 or $300 but, recently, as a dust-caked water-colour, unnoticed by eminent dealers and unhonoured in the catalogue, it fetched £9 108.walked out of the Mansion House

It was knocked down, at Harrods auction rooms, to Captain Parker, of the Parker Galleries, Albemarle- street, W., and will be offered there for sale at £125 later.

Nazi Germany is considering the "recognition" of Jewry as 18 "world Power" but a Power hostile to Germany-and taking this as a pretext for new laws of unparalleled severity against Jews in Germany.

An outline of the planned laws is as follows:

1. Jews of foreign nationality may at any time be sent over the Relch frontier;

2. Jews of foreign nationality who are not admitted into other countries, and German Jews who are unemployed, and not supported by the Jewish community, can be interned and put

but to forced labour:

3. No Jew may live in the same house, street or quarter as Ger- mans, since Jews are "citizens of a Power hostile to the Reich":

4. The Relch may expropriate and administer all the property of Jews living in Germany. Out of this wealth the Reich may compen- to sate itself for "damage caused the Reich by Jewish propaganda and agitation in foreign countries," and for the cost of rearmament re- sulting from Jewish "war ogitation abroad."
