Meanwhile the chancellor may at
tempt to have the Reichstag change
the election law, lifting the voting age
to 25. Thereby would be eliminated
the youthful radicals on both the Right

The loss in Hitler strength was even
decisive in such cities as Brunswick

This loss might seriously endanger
the leadership of the former Austrian

If, on the other hand he should

Supreme Court for a review of defense
claims that the youths were convicted
in '"an abnormal atmosphere" that
Judge j. A. Hawkins of the trial court
improperly refused a change Of venue
and that the defendants were forced to
trial without adequate preparation by
counsel
Communists and groups of intel
lectuals seized upon the affair shortly
after the verdict Within month five
members of the Academy of Science in
Moscow issued a statement asserting
the outcome was IAN example of class
discrimination in America"
Radicals in other countries took 1t
up ana IN Germany gangs OF young
Communists stoned the windows of
American conSulates in Berlin, Cologne
and Dresden.
