(United Press Staff Correspondent)

The Jews were not given clolling cards for 1941. Without such a card It is Impossible to buy clothes. Since the beginning of the wor they have been unable to obtain permits to buy shoes, and only In some instances have they been allowed to have their uld shoes repaired.

The Jewish community faced this problem partially by donation of shock and clothing by better-off Jews to the poorer ones. Doubtless many Aryan Germans on the quiet" occa- sionally give east-off clothes to former Jewish friends.
