News Review of Current Events the World Over Germany's Economic Crisis Now Worries the Nazi Gov ernment?NRA Seems Due for Modification Plot to Kill Caffery Foiled. By EDWARD W. PICKARD ? by Western Newspaper Union. RECOVER INC. from the terror and dismay caused by Hitler's "purg ing" of the Nazi party at a cost of iome fifty Lives, the people of Cler Kvrt Schmltt many now realize that a serious eeo nomic crisis for their country ij at hand. The essence of the Nazi new deal Is that to make money is no credit to the individ ual. hut that to work Is a great honor. In centive in the form of profit is vanish I n g ; Jobs, many of them created, have been Bpreaa out tninly; employers are urged to run their plants at their own ex pense, to take on more men and to Increase wages under the theory that It is a privilege thus to serve the state. Observers believe the Nazi govern ment Is now trying to retreat from virtual Communism, which Its leaders profess to hate, toward relative eco nomic liberalism. The appointment of Dr. Kurt Schmitt, minister of eco nomics, to the position economic dictator is taken as evidence of this trend. Schmitt has been given blanket powers that will extend to October 1, and In that time he has the authority to promulgate any reasonable laws that he thinks will help trade and commerce. He also has the right to Impose fines on those who do not obey his dictates. Chancellor Hitler sought to restore quiet In the reich by ordering a polit ical truce and a call for peace, and he then left Berlin for a vacation In the Bavarian Alps. There is current among friends of the slain Nazi "traitors" an explana tion to the effect that those men were truly the supporters of Hitler and were only preparing and arming se lected troops to hack him up in an at tack on the reactionaries. The spon sors for this account blame General Goering fop misleading Hitler and en gineering the executions. One of the chancellor's firmest friends, Rudolph Hess, minister with out portfolio, broke out with a speech in which he appealed to France to help Germany avert another war, ad dressing himself to the veterans. Then he delivered a stern warning to France ?and the world?not to try to invade the reich. "Just you dare to attack us! Just you dare to march lcto Ger many !" T OUIS BARTIIOU. French foreign minister, went over to London to ask a lot of things of the British gov ernment, but wise observers did not believe he would get much satisfac tion. The chief thing he wanted was assurance tjiat Great Britain line up with France again in case of a war with Germany. Reports that Barthou would propose such an alliance reached London ahead of the minister and aroused loud opposition in parliament and the press. There were indications that the cabinet was very cool toward the suggestion. TJIS position greatly strengthened * by events In Germany. Chancellor Kngelbert Dollfuss of Austria reorgan ized his cabinet and declared unre lennng warrare on the Nazis In his coun try. He got rid of three ministers who were not working well with him and himself took the portfolios of public safety, defense, foreign affairs and ag riculture. MaJ. Emll Fey was supplanted as vice chancellor by Prince Von Starhera berg and was given the Job of repressing Chancellor Dollfusa mi anii-government political acuvmes. Probably to register his disapproval of Hitler's methods, especially as they affect Catholics. Dollfiiss recalled Ste phen Tauschnitz. minister to Ger many, and made him undersecretary of foreign affairs. The opponents of Dollfuss have been resorting freely to the throwing of bombs, especially In Vienna, and the chancellor In his official com munique said his patience was ended and that all political opposition to him must cease The Immediate reply to this was the throwing of a lot more bombs. Dlt. SVEN HKDIN. famous Swedish explorer, has been captured for the second time by Gen. Ma Chung and his 'army" of bandits in eastern Turkestan. Taken with lledfn were a < dozen or so of his companions. The capt'ves were reported to have been Iniprisoned In an Inaccessible camp in the neighborhood of Aksu. and officials of the Chinese government said that j their rescue would be exceedingly diffi cult. lledin was engaged in laying out a new trade route across China, following the ancient silk caravan route. Last March General Ma cap tured him and held him for three weeks. u A SSI ST A NT PRESIDENT" Is what ** they now call Donald RIchberg, because he is at the head of a kind of super-cabinet which holds power Donald Richberg during the absence of President Roose velt. The counsel for the NRA has his work cut out for him, and has gone at it with a will. The chief part ot his task Is acting as director of an industrial emer gency committee which has been given sweeping supervisory and co-ordinating powers over the ma jur agencies or we i\e?f Deal. What is going to happen to the NRA is an absorbing question to many of our best minds. General Johnson has recommended the creation of an en tirely new body to take its place and to perform the functions of the fed eral trade commission In preventing monopoly. In this he recognizes as Just some of the complaints uttered by Senator Borah. The plan was sub mitted to Mr. Roosevelt before he went to sea, and Is being studied by Ilichberg and others. The administrator, meanwhile. Is undertaking to complete the regimen tation of industry. He issued an or der directing all Industries still un codified either to sign specific codes or to submit to a new "basic code" governing wages and hours. A time limit of 30 days was set, and three of the general's aides were named to su pervise this operation. Senator James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois, in his capacity ot chairman of the Democratic senatorial cam paign committee, replied to the charge that the New Deal fosters monopoly by asserting that.the administration intends to prosecute the monopolists. In another statement Senator Lewis indicated the President is willing to modify the# NRA and perhaps some other New Deal policies. Being ambassador to Cuba is no snap. The authorities of the is land republic have just uncovered an extensive plot to assassinate Ambas sudor Jefferson Caf fery with bombs, many of which were found. Something like seventy-five for mer army officers were arrested and it was said documentary proof of the plot was \ seized. The officials j also found large j stores of guns and j munitions In ware houses. Jose Pedraza, chief Jefferson Caffery ui lur nmaim |iuiiwc, oaiu uie lunuer officers were aided by one faction of the ABC political society, which re cently withdrew its support from the Mendieta government, and planned a revolt in Havana, striking at police stations and army barracks simul taneously In a night attack after cut ting electric lights off over the city. There were persistent reports In Havana that President Mendieta would resign in favor of Col. Fulgenclo Ba tista, head of the army. THROUGH four counties of south ern Illinois a tornado swept, and Jacksonville was especially hard hit. Scofes of persons were injured and the property damage was estimated at a million dollars. Hundreds of the big old oaks, elms and cottonwoods that have been the glory of the city for many years, were destroyed. WHKAT production in the United States this year will be the low est since 18116, according to the gov ernment report. For the second year since 1800 the yield will fall below domestic consumption. The government's figures, which completely upset calculations of the grain trade, indicated the aggregate of the country's five leading grain crops will fall 450.000.000 bushels short of last year's production and 1.588.000,000 bushels below the yearly average for the period from 1027 31, The government estimated the total wheat crop at 484.000.000 bushels, which Is 16,000,000 bushels below the forecast It made a month ago. Even more sensational than the re^ port on wheat was the government prediction of a corn crop of 2.113.000, <)00 bushels. Private authorities had predicted a crop of 2J534.000.000 bush els, and It was believed that the gov ernment's figure would show little change. The corn crop has been counted on to make up the known de ficiencies In other feed crops. Last year the corn crop totaled 2,330,000. 000 bushels and In the five years from 1027 to 1031 the country produced an average of 2.516,000.000 bushels a year. THE world civil service commission of the Methodist Episcopal church, in session at Evanston. 111., voted to participate In the campaign against dirty moving pictures that originated j largely In the Legion of Decency or- I ganized within the Catholic church. This campaign is having Its effect j on the movie Industry and the makers of film pictures have been deeply dis turbed. Joseph I. Breen of Will j Hays* office has been made virtual die- | tator of pictures In so far as their de- j cency is concerned. Ten of the larg est concerns making movies have agreed to "grant to exhibitors the right j to omit the exhibition of any motion i picture released prior to July 15. 11)34, I against which there is a genuine pro- i test on moral grounds." This Is a big modification of the "block booking" system that has prevailed, and at j Hays' office In Hollywood It was said that It will cost the producers around ten millions of dollars. IT MAY be that William P. McCrack * en, Jr., will not have to serve the ten days In jail to which the senate sentenced him. The District of Colum bia Court of Appeals, by a 3 to 2 vote, decided the senate had not the Juris diction to inflict such punishment The case will be carried up to the Su preme Court. McCracken was tried by the senate for contempt because he refused to give the airmail committee copies of correspondence with his clients. He claimed that as a lawyer he could not produce the documents without per mission from his clients. * Thousands of applicants for PWA funds are sure to be disap pointed, according to Secretary Ickes, who says nearly all that administra tion's money has been allocated or earmarked. President Roosevelt re cently turned over to PWA about $400,000,000 of the maximum of $.">00, OOO.OttO which congress authorized him to allocate for public works. Ickes said the other $100,000,000 might be handed over to the PWA later, but that "we are proceeding on the theory that we will have $400,000, 000 to spend" In addition to the orig inal $3,300,000,000 appropriation dis posed of long ago. FOR the first time In history a news paper office has been picketed by editorial workers. This was done by leaders of the American and New York newspaper guilds to the Long Island Press, published in Jamaica, L. I. The Press says it "operates all Its mechan ical departments on a union basis and exceeds the requirements of the NRA in every department." Rut Ilevwood Broun and his colleagues aver It op poses the organization of editorial workers and has violated the collec tive bargaining provision of the NRA. Therefore they are asking that the government prosecute the Press. COMMUNIST agitators who fostered a farm strike in New Jersey didn't get far. TUe government conciliator stepped In and, finding most of the trouble was due to the efforts of the reds, soon made arrangements for the men to go hack to work on terras that did not differ from those formerly prevailing. The Communists are playing a big part In at least ten of the major strikes now in effect. WITH Its eyes on the coming con gressional campaign, the G. O. P. elephant Is sitting up and taking no tice. In other words, the Republican party Is showing signs of a distant revivification. Its national leaders are busy these days. The party's eightieth birthday was celebrated at Jackson, Mich., with many speeches and assurances of future victories. National Chairman Fletcher being In the van of the assurers. Mr. Fletcher then went to Chicago, where many of the most Important men In the party met with him In closed conferences. P RESIDENT ROOSEVELT made * brief but pleasant visits to Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, Inspect ing government projects and talking reassuringly to the inhabitants. Then the cruiser Houston headed for Carta gena. Colombia, for a short stop before going to the Canal Zone. At Colon practically the entire population was out to see Mr. Roose velt, and he was cheered all the way through the canal to Balboa. There he landed and motored to- Panama Clt.t where he was the-guest of Presi dent Arias at dinner and deliverer] an address. Returning to the Houston, the President began the 12 days Jour ney across the Pacific to Honolulu.

BURGESS PETER RABBIT CALLS ON MELODY YOU know what a great hand Peter Rabbit is to stay out all night. He did Just that thing that night after lis tening to the twilight song of Melody the Wood Thrush. Just before It was time for Jolly, round, red Mr. Sun to kick off his rosy blankets and begin his daily climb up in the blue, blue sky, Peter started for home In the dear Old Briar Patch. Everywhere, in the Old Orchard, the Green Forest, on the Green Meadows, his feathered friends were awakening. As he hopped along, lipperty-lip, he heard those beautiful flute like notes of Melody the Wood Thrush. Turning, he scampered over to where he had spent such a peaceful hour the evening before. Melody saw him nt once, and hopped down on the ground for a little gossip while he scratched among the leaves In search of his breakfast. "I Just love to hear you sing, Mel ody." erled Peter, rather breathlessly "1 don't know of any other song that makes me feel quite as yours does, so sort of perfectly contented and free of care and worry." "Thank you," replied Melody. "I'm glad you like to /HejTK_me sing, for there is nothing H4ike to do better. It is the one way in which I can ex press my feelings. 1 love all the great world, and I Just have to toll it so. 1 do not mean to boast when I say that all the Thrush family have good voices." "Rut you have the best of all," cried Peter. Melody shook his brown head. "I wouldn't say that," said he modestly. "I think tiie song of my cousin Hermit Ik even more beautiful than mine. Then there is my cousin Veery. llis song Is wonderful, I think.'' But Just then Peter's curiosity was greater than his interest in songs. "Have you built your nest yet?" Melody nodded. "It is in a little tree not far from here." said he, "and Mrs. Wood Thrush is sitting on five eggs tills blessed minute. Isn't that perfectly lovely?" It was Peter's turn to nod. "What is your nest built of?" lie inquired. "Hootlets and tiny twigs and weed stalks and leaves and mud," replied Melody. "Mud!" exclaimed Peter. "Why, rhut's what Welcome Ilobln uses In his nest." "Well, Welcome Robin Is my own cousin, so I don't know as there's any thing so surprising in that," retorted ; Melody. "Now. if you'll excuse me. | Peter. I'll get my breakfast anil give Mrs. Wood Thrush a chance to get hers." & T W. OurK?n.-WXl) Service. I QUESTION BOX By ED WYNN...
