HITLER DECLARES FIGHT ON JEWS WILL CONTINUE WITH FEROCIOUS DETERMINATION ■ WO QUIT NRA POSITIONS AT WASHINGTON Deputy Administrator And Code Interpreter Both Resign WASHINGTON, Sept. 1. (UP) The first break in the inner ranks of the National Recovery admin istration came last night when Dudley Cates, one of Hugh S. Johnson’s personally appointed deputy administrators, resigned because of “differences of opinion op policy and interpretation of the law.” Several other resigna tions were forecast, and one more was announced last night. Cates explained that his con science would not permit him to follow policies he did not believe in. and it was no secret at NRA headquarters that the particular point of difference was Johnson’s i care in protecting the interests of , labor and his refusal to permit! open shop provisions in any codes, j Cates will return to his insur-! ance business in Chicago. All deputy administrators inj th» NRA—the men who preside over hearings on codes and who,, when Johnson himself cannot take part, wrestle with employers and labor representatives to achieve1 agreements satisfactory all around : —were chosen by Johnson with- j out political or other restrictions. They were men he knew person ally. Most of them, despite occasion al confusion and some temporary; working at cross purposes, have! followed along readily in John son’s lead. But friction with Cates was evident almost from the start. Cates presided over lumber code hearings and since that code was signed ten days ago he has had no assignment. Except for gathering some statistics on Puerto Rico, he has been the one idle man in the busy NRA offices. lie tried to resign. Johnson re vealed. a month ago, but Johnson persuaded him to stay tempor arily. Johnson finally decided it was learned, that reconciliation of views op labor was impossible. At; one time it was understood Cates j went so fai as to recommend i abandonment of the blanket code, \ center of the recovery program. | Cates pointed out yesterday that he had voluntarily declined his salary, serving only “out of friendship for General Johnson, and said he had submitted ex pense accounts only for one or two short trips. These were “whit tled down,” he complained, by the clerical staff. He made public a memorandum to Johnson, written some weeks ago, protesting that attempts io reconcile open shop employers with views of American Federa tion of Labor leaders would “pre cipitate a national crisis.’’ Col. Lester Wilson, heat! of the interpretations section for the NRA. or blanket code, also re signed yesterday after being away for several days. C. S. Long will succeed him. DESIGN MEDAL FOR THE MAN WHO HIT LONG NEW YORK, Sept. 1. (UP)— Work was started yesterd.-.y on the designing of a gold medal, to be paid for by popular sub scription and to be presented to the unidentified person who, early Sunday morning, blacked ihe eye of Senator Huey P. Long at a fashionable Long Is land club. Owen P. White, associated edi tor of a national magazine, an nounced that a project he start ed as a joke, asking that money he sent to raise a fund for the “unknown hero,” had been taken seriously by several hundred per sons. Contributions, he said, were rolling in thick . and fast and the fund, up to last night, amounted to several hundred dol lars. . x , , The princmal task, according to White, will he that of finding and identifying Senator Long’s assilant. Show Of Force In Nazi Convention Appeals To The Populace NUREMBERG. Germany, Sept. I. (UP)—Chancellor Adolf Hitler ; in a proclamation read to his national socialist party today characterized Jews as a “ferment ; of decomposition in the life of I nations.” The proclamation indicated | Hitler believed the “ferment** I was threatening insidously to cause a collapse oi the western world. Against such collapse he said his Nezis had fought and would continue to fight with “feroci ous determination.” FRENZIED CHEERS FOR STORM TROOPERS NURENMERG, Germany, Sept. 1. (Ul*)—The mighty Chancellor Adolf Hitler’s powerful Nazi party and its control over the Ueich was further demonstrated yesterday during picturesque par ades and demonstrations of liter ally hundreds of thousands of persons attending the fourth con vention of the organization. Chancellor Hitler disappointed thousands of women members of Nazi women’s auxiliary organiza tions by failing to address them, as had been on the program. The chancellor was forced to forego the address, due to a change in plans. The day was devoted chiefly to meetings of various com mittees of the convention, and organizing the conference work. Hut the significance to the populace of this city—a city of not more than 300,000 persons' —and the nation at large was less in the work before the Nazi j functionairfis, it appeared, than | in this tremendous display of j the Nazi force. The public interest in the spec tacle rather than the work of the delegates during the gather ing was evidenced by the fact that 450,000 tickets had been sold for Saturday’s fireworks display. The Nazis plan to make this, the biggest spectacle in the world, culminating in 75 terri fic explosions in the period of an hour, while 1,800 mig mortars and innumerable small mortars will be fired, adding to the ter rific din, as of battle. The enthusiasm of the crowds passing along the city’s streets was boundless. They cheered on j every provocation, or without provocation. They gathered at stations to greet Incoming Nazis. Four hundred special trams bringing participants from re mote provinces were among the arrivals—giving some idea of the size of this undertaking. Each contingent of Nazi storm troops were cheered in frenzied fashion.__ SAY RECOVERY IS NO LONGER J EXPERIMENT Two Million People Al ready Put Back To Work Under Its Term _ I WASHINGTON, Sept. 1. (UP) (The Roosevelt recovery program has passed the experimental stage and “is actually working in most of our largest cities and in thou sands of smaller cities,” Recovery Administrator Hugh S. Johnson said last night in a speech deliv ered in his office, carried by tele phone to Detroit and amplified there at the motor city’s Blue Katie oelebration. In this speech to the center of the operations of Henry Ford the only motor magnate who has not signed the NRA automobile code. Johnson carefully avoided any statement that might antagonize the manufacturer, though he did mphasize once more the right of everv citizen to refuse to patron ize those who did not come under the Blue Eagle. There was a decided atmosphere of “pulled punches” about the speech, but that did not indicate, observers believed, any backing down by Johnson in his insistence* that no man or corporation was big enough to defy the recovery drive. Rather it was interprete 1 as a move to leave the door open for Ford to come in gracefully before September 5, when the au tomobile codes become effective. “There is no more ‘boycott’ about the NRA.” Johnson said, “than there would be if you were asked to~recommend a good den tist, a good doctor or a trustwor thy merchant. NRA asks the American people to trust those who have shown their faith in the government by signing the Presi dent’s agreement. This whole pro gram is a three-sided partnership between the government, the em ployer of labor and the consum ers. If one partner holds back, why of course, the plan cannot succeed, but if all partners pull together there is no doubt of its ultimate success.” Johnson said his desk had been flooded all day with wires bring ing word that certain towns hau gone over the top 100 per cent in the blue eagle drive. He repeated that 2,000,000 men and women had been put back to work thru the recovery program. “Thousands of men have gone back to work in such cities as Cin cinnati, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, St. Louis and many other centers, he said. “I tell you, the blue eagle is not only pulling us out of our economic mess but is also revital izing the people.” (Copyright 1933 by United Press) 1 MARQUETTE, Mich., Sept. 1.

(UP) The Federal Reserve banks have made $40,000,000 more credit available to be pumped into the business stream, the The Weekly Reserve’s condition statement re vealed last night, and at the same time it was learned that the Re construction Finance Corporation was considering reducing interest on loans to banks from 4 1-2 to 4 per cent. The R.F.C. plan accorded with a recent statement by Recovery Administrator Hugh S. Johnson that he was seeking means to get banks to ease credit and thus help finance the recovery program. The swelling qf reserve bank outstanding credit came largely through purchase of $35,000,000 in government bonds—the same amount acquired the previous week. Both steps were expected 10 in duce banks to be more liberal with their loans to business men. Although government officials ad mit they can exert no coercive force on individual banks, they feel that banks, if provided with large sums of money will increase their loans to business. After extended conferences among government fiscal authori ties including Jesse H. Jones, chairman of the board of the R.F.C., Dean G. Acheson, under secretary of treasury, and Eugene Black, governor of the F’ederal Reserve board, it was understood the government had at last given the word to “go ahead” with its easier credit program. Reconstruction Finance Corpo ration officials were reported ready to agree upon a reduction in the interest rate charged banks on the $800,000,000 now loaned to banking institutions and on new loans made by banks. The Federal Reserve bank op erations carried total reserve bank credit outstanding to $2,298,000, 000, only $33,000,000 below a year ago. Reserve banks lost gold for the first time since the government began its anti-gold hoarding cam-1 paign last March. Gold holdings, declined to $3,587,997,000 from the record high of $3,589,480,000 reached a week ago. HAVE 7,728 SECTIONS TOMBSTONE, Ark.
