Untermyer & Gewgaws

As proudly as he flaunts the orchid in his buttonhole, mighty Manhattan Lawyer Samuel Untermyer flaunts his Jewish blood. The skill which earns him fattest fees he gives gratis to the Jewish crusade to boycott German goods until Adolf Hitler's anti-Jewish campaign shall end (TiME, Nov. 13 et ante). Last week found Boycotter Untermyer a passenger on the cruising S. S. Monarch of Bermuda. Down to the dining saloon he prowled to inspect arrangements for the Captain's dinner. To his horror he found paper caps, paper flowers, tin rattles, fish horns, surprise crackers, rolls of confetti, all stamped "Made in Germany."

Up to bland British Captain Albert R. Francis rushed Mr. Untermyer, roaring protest. Rather than risk a large proportion of his company's business, Captain Francis acted promptly, jettisoned all the offensive gewgaws--nearly 1,000. As they plopped into the ocean Mr. Untermyer sat down to his dinner content. Later he went to his cabin, slipped on the edge of his pink tiled bathtub, cut a deep gash over his left eye.
