Jews skeptical over prospect of leaving Germany

BERLIN (AP) - Formation of a federation of Jews in Germany, which will constitute their official representation in dealings with the Nazi government, was announced today in the weekly Centralverein eitung, organ of German Jewry.

The organization united all Jewish societies under one head. Rabbi Leo Baeck, chief rabbi of Berlin, was named president.

The development comes at a time when an international effort is being made to aid emigration of Jews from this country.

George Brandt, official United States observer, is making a survey of the possibilities. Jews themselves predicted that finding emigration opportunities for them would be an almost insurmountable task.

The new Jewish federation issued a brief appeal in which it stated that all Jews were entitled to look for assistance.
