DAWES AGAINST SOLDIER BONUS PAPER PAYMENT
Reconstruction Head Says Bonus Bill Would Be Disas-
 trous,Hits 'Demagoguery'

WASHINGTON, April 21.-Charles G. Dawes warned the House Ways end Means Committee that pay lnent of the soldiers bonus in new currency would have a disastrous effect. He said, as head of the Reconstruction Corporation, it had loaned "$243 100000 to fifteen hun dred banks to April l, and that general withdrawals of deposits from banks had stopped"
 Dawes assailed what he termed damned demagoguery." We could have political bunk and political smut committees down there at the Corporation, but we are doing a business job and, damn it, we are going to continue"
 He said the country needed more confidence, not more currency.

Wife of Navy Man Shows Anger on Stand
 Audience Applauds
PROSECUTOR KELLEY
 MAY SPRING SURPRISE
Rebuttal Testimony Stayed to Allow Alienist to
 Examine Massie

HONOLULU, H. l., April 21.-In the white heat of anger, Mrs. Thalia Fortescue Massie, on the witness stand in the honor staying trial, tore to shreds paper hand ed to her by Prosecuting Attorney John C. Kelley This was after Mrs. Massie had admitted taking psychopathic examination last summer.
 The paper supposedly contained written admissions in answers in the examination, showing a rift between herself and her husband, Lieut.. Thomas H. Massie, one of the four defendants in the present trial
 Judge Gets Angry
 A wave of applause came from the audience in the court room at the time, and with his voice shaking with anger, Judge Charles Davis lectured the audience.
 Prosecutor Kelley said:
 T thank you, Mrs. Massie. At last you have shown your true colors"
 The prosecution was to start re- buttal today and Prosecutor Kelley hinted of an affair between Mrs. AIassie and the physician who gave her the psychopathic. The rebut- ital was postponed, however. until Saturday, by Judge Davis, to give prosecution alienist time to ex- anime Lieut.. Massie, The alienist arrives today from California by steamer.
 Torn Paper as Evidence
 Before the postponement was taken, Prosecutor Kelley won his right to enter the paper which Mrs. Massie tore up, as privileged evidence.
 Lieut.. Massie, on the witness stand, took all of the blame for the killing of Joseph Kahahawai. assaulter of his wife, and said he did not know what transpired after he confronted the Hawaiian with pistol and got a confession he att tackled his wife. This is the de- fense plea that the Navy man was insane at the time the Hawaiian was killed

True Hitler Strength to Get
 Test dt Polls nl Election in
 Fiue Cerman States, Sunday
tBy LOUIS P. LocHNERl

BERLIN, April 21.-Te9SS in five laboratories of Germany's popular feeling will soon give what politicians consider the first au- thcritasive answer to the ques- tion:
 Exactly how strong is Adolf Hitler's National Socialist Plarty?'
 With the Presidential election out of the way, attention has turn- ed to ballc5ing on April 24, for Legislatures in the States of Pi-us- sia. Bavaria, Wurtemburg and An halt and in the sState-cltyn of Hamburg.
 Nazis Expect Gains
 The Nazis claim that the so Fer cent increase in their presi- dential vote, recorded in March was not true index of their ac- tual strength. The 'iHindenburg tradition" and venenation for the 34-year-o,d executive kept from the Hitler column many who, they say, will not hesitate to vote Nag tickets in the state elections.
 The anti-Hitlerites rejoin that when the Nazis nominated Hitler thsy put forward their best vote geater; that as soon as local per sanahties and issues are in the foreground, Nazi strength is bound to dwindle.
 Furthermore, goes the argument the Hitler Presidential run, when measured by prediction claims was a failure, and the big ele- msnt which likes to ride the band wagon will desert the Hitlerites in the state voting.
 Whatever picture the state elections produce is bound to have an influence upon federal politics Chancellor Bruening will ther know definitely whether the na- tionalists are right in claiming that the federal parliament elect ed last September, and whicl normally would expire in 1885, nc longer represents the will of ths German people.
 Prussia Is Front Line He expects to be able to gauge also whether dissolution and feder- al diet elections are likely to ere ate merely new turmoil witlaou changing the practical aspects oi the present lineup.
 First in importance in the com. ing tests is that which will bt conducted in Prussia. This state comprises two-thirds of the repub. iic's territory and it's 38,000,000 peo- pie outnumber the 34,000,000 il the rest of the reich.
 The parties which want to re. make Germany, both the Nazi! with their plans for a fascist ali. tatorship and the German nation, alists of Alfred Hugneberg wht still hope to restore the monar- chy make no secret of the fac that they would consider the political capture of Prussia tn, longest step toward realization O their aims.

Commodity Price
Trends of Week
BY III. N. McGILL,


OF the McGill Commodity Service Inc.
AUBURNDALE. Mass. August 13 up
The upward trend of commodity
prices was renewed with marked vigor
during the past week. In eight of the
past nine weeks prices have advanced
and already considerable of the de-
crease which occurred during the first
half Of the year has been wiped out
All communities recorded the most
pronounced recovery in any week since
the advance started. This is due to the
fact that out of IA individual groups not
one declined, only three remained sta
BILE, while IL jumped to higher levels.
Industrial Commodities.
Industrial commodities showed more
momentum on the upside than has been
the case in recent weeks. Reports from
all quarters Of the country testify to a
moderate broadening in industrial ac-
tivity which is quite unusual considering
the normal Summer dull period The
industries which involved consumers
goods are showing the greater DISPOSE
tion to recover.
Agricultural prices were sharply
higher. rejecting the substantial price
advance in grains, which reflect the
sharp decline in indicated production.
A check-up shows that much of the
price recovery in recent weeks is di-
rectly attributable to the agricultural
group, which in part is a seasonal move
ment 1t is worthy of note. however,
that this is the first time that farm
products have recorded a seasonal re-
covery since 1929.
Live stock prices were fractionally
higher and have successfully maintain
ed the relatively broad advance since
early June. The higher price level
tends to induce higher volume of
market receipts.
Non-ferrous metals represent group
which increased quite sharply. The re-
covery is not attributable to any change
in the statistical position but is nat
urally a rebound following complete
price detiation.
Fine textiles experienced a radical up
turn due not only to the advance in cot
ton of nearly 3 cent proportions but to
a further upswing in silk quotations.
Summarizing the price changes of the
week the groups that we're higher were
industrial, agricultural, 1--we stock, build
ing materials. fuels. non-ferrous metals,
ferrous metals, paint materials, tex
tiles fine and coarse, and vegetable oils.
The three which remain unchanged
were chemicals, hides and leather, and
paper and pulp.
