German athletes and visitors to the Winter Olympic games at Germisch-Partenkirchen have been privately instructed by the authorities, it was learned today, to refrain from all anti-Jewish manifestations and comments until after the games have ended in order to avoid “offending the Spanish athletes, whose features are ‘non-Aryan’ looking.”
