PARLEY TARGET

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass, Aug.
% G.N.SD National economic
planning was reduced to it's fun
damental realities at the Institute
of Politics today, and the con-
sensus at the end of the session
was that its development in the
United States would not be
marked by any radical social
changes.
Thomas Nixon Carver, profes-
sor of economics it Harvard Uni
versity, declared that fear and
loss of purchasing power, the two
worst features of the current
slump, are beyond the help of
any system of planning.
The money and banking situa-
ton, root evil of the slump, is
already under the scrutiny of the
Federal Reserve Board, which is
significantly our foremost at
tempt at a planning board, he
said
A proposal for a National Plan
ming Board, or council, was set
forth by H. S. Dennison, presi-
dent of manufacturing COM
pany, who outlined program for
study and action during the first
five years.

His address continued:
MANY diverse abilities and

the eugenic element of pOpula-

BERLIN, Aug. % Q.N.SD.
With five of his Nazi fol-
lowers condemned to die by
the executioner's ak for the
murder of a Communist,
Adolf Hitler today threw down
the gauntlet and promised
swift extinction of Chancellor
Franz Won Papen's terror
government, founded upon
blood scaffolds.
From his headquarters in
Munich, the militant National
Socialist leader reaffirmed his
intention of standing by the con-
Nicted men. He said:
"VOn Papen will not check
the progress of our movement
even if he executes thousands
Of our fighters. We will do away
with the terror government.
founded upon bloody ScaffOldS."
Addresses Won Pap6n
While his followers in various
parts of the country were staging
anti-Communist and anti-Semitic
riots, smashing the windows of
Jewish shops and assaulting Jew
1sh pedestrians. Hitler addressed
his manifesto to the chancellor,
who, with Federal Commissioner
Franz Bracht, alone holds the
power of communication. He said:
"The verdict Of the court
justified my refusal to enter
the bourgeois cabinet. Won
Papen'S name will enter history
beSmirched with blood.
Herr Won Papen, we are
fighting for Nationalist Ger
many's victory and the destruc-
tiOn Of Marxists Socialists and

No Appeal From Verdict
There is no appeal from the
verdict, imposed by a special court
constituted in .Beuthen, .SileSia.
under the terms of President Won
Hindenburg'S recent anti-terroriSm
decree.
Despite Hitler's vitriolic blast
and the ever-growing threat of
violent reprisalS by the rank and
file Of the Nazi storm troops"
Chancellor Won Papen gave no in
dication of willingness to commute
the death sentences.
Hitler sent the following mes
sage to the convicted men:
"My comrades: In view of
your mOnStrOus sentence 1 feel
especially attached to you with
unlimited loyalty.
your freedom now is a queS-
tiOn of honor, and a fight
against the government, where
ever possible, is our duty"

The amended regulations pro-
vide that the growers of sugar
beets can get up to $12 an acre.
Up to the present time the crop
loans for the beet grower have
been made by the sugar compa-
MES. The growers will now have
to get their crop loans from the
government instead of from the

possible, thus cutting down the
