Nazi Head At Vienna Executed Vienna, July 14 (AP) —A squad of men entered the apartiiwent of Corne lius Zimmer, alleged Nazi, stood him up against a wall and shot him to death today.

Through Chancellor Dollfuss the government this week opened a mop up campaign against the party. Police disclaimed any knowledge of backkground for the shooting {and said an investigation is under way. Hindenburg had reconciled the Reich swehr to the present state of affairs. The Laborite Herald said Hitler "has revealed himself the obedient servant of the old gang, ready at any minute' to kill anybody in its behalf, and the IReichstage enthusiastically followed the leader.” > The London Express descried Hit ler’s speech as “wild, screaming and historical,” uttered by the “voice of a man on the verge of a breakdown.” Many Italian quarters expressed dis appointment because foreign policy was not discussed.

He walks—and gets around about as well as anybody—by leaning over and picking his feet up with his hands and setting them down step by step. With his own hands and the help of a younger brother he built a dam and mill race on Shoals Creek, just a few steps from his home. He went out into the woods and handed his end of a cross-cut saw to get, the timbers for building the dam and race. His father appropriated some second-hand equipment for the mill.

BY 3. r BASKEHVILL. Raleigh, July 14—Although it Is known that North Carolina is to get $4,800,000 of Federal funds for emer gency highway construction during the present fiscal year that started July 1. no word has yet been received from Washington with regard to the rules and regulations governing the expenditure of this money. Chairman E. B. Jeffress, of the State Highway and Public Wiorks Commission, said today, Until these rules arid regula tions are definitely known, no plans can be made for its expenditure, he said, “We are expecting that the rules governing the expenditure of this new alotment will be about the same as those in effect this past year gov erning the use of last year’s allotment of about ,$9,000,000,” Jeffress said. “But we can’t be sure until we get the new regulations' so al we can do is wait.” Washington has been promising these new regulations almost daily for several weeks, but so far they have not been forthcoming, Jeffress said. About the only changes expected are that must be paid for skiled and com in the provisions governing the wages mon labor. The regulations govern ing the first allotment provided that common labor must (not be paid less than 30 cents and hour and skilled labor not less than 40 cents an hour. This may be changed so that contrac tors may employ labor at the prevail ing rates of pay in the sections where the labor is employed, or the present minimum rates may be retained, If the new regulations provide that only 50 per cent of this $4,800,000 can be used in primary highway construc tion, only $2,400,000 will be available for building new roads on the Federal Aid system and that amount will not build very many miles of new roads, Jeffress pointed out. It is expected that 25 per cent of the total will again have to be expended in paving streets (Continued. cn Page Sour) PUBLISHED EVERY AFTERNOON EXCEPT SUNDAY« of the **lo73!’* storm troopers, with Viktor Lutze, right, staff chief, successor of Captain Ernst Boehm, slain in the “revolt”. rulings of other NRA divisions.
