Grandmother Dead !"

Adolf Hitler. who ran second to Won
Hindenburg in the indecisive presiden-
tial election last Sunday, becomes q
poor prospect for the run-off balloting
that is to be held on the tenth of April,
as result of raids conducted yesterday
throughout Prussia upon the headquar-
tiers Of his National Socialist party and
the homes of many of the "Nazi" lead
ers. Acting upon information that the
Hitlerites had planned a mobilization
Of their half-million storm troops"
for an attack upon the government,
upon the broadcasting of signal read
ing Grandmother dead" the govern
ment swept through the centers and
gathered files of correspondence and
membership lists, having already un-
covered stores Of arms and ammuni-
ton. Hitler has issued a statement
from his headquarters in Munich ac-
knowledging that a concentration or
der had been sent forth to his fol-
lowers, with the explanation that the
movement was intended as a counter
attack upon the Communists, who, dur
ing the past few weeks, have been
sniping his partisans, killing forty and
wounding thousands. He charges that
the raids are political maneuver to
strengthen the hands Of the Won Hin
denburg supporters in the run-off elec-
tion. This explanation is not accented
and the impression prevails that the
real purpose Of the ''putsch" was to
overthrow the government.
Hitler's campaign has from the be-
ginning had military basis. His fol-
lowers have been drilled in military
movements. His demonstrations have
taken the form Of parades in arms. He
has cultivated the spirit of strict dis
cipline In the ranks of the "Nazis." 1t
was not believed, however, that he
would engage in any definite subyersive
movement pending the election. Prob
ably it has not been his design to move
in this direction until the second ballot
ing was concluded in April. The action
OF the Prussian government undoubt-
edly cripples him, both as a candidate
for the presidency and as a plotter for
the seizure of power by armed force.
Presumably there will be an exposure
OF the results Of the raids, and
by the tenth Of April the German
electorate will have been fully advised
Of the real purpose Of the "Nazi" leader.
1t is hardly conceivable that Hitler will
make relatively better showing in the
run-off election than he did in last
Sundays balloting. Rather is 1t likely
that he will lose votes, while Won
Hindenburg will probably gain. The
choice in April will be by plurality, 50
that the maintenance Of the presidents
vote will give him the victory. 1t is
even possible that Hitler will not ap-
pear as candidate a second time.
If this statewide raid was a political
maneuver it was a shrewd and effective
one. Hitler has overplayed his hand
and Won Hindenburg has called it,
showing in his action the courage and
resourcefulneSs that marked his mill
tary leadership during the war.

Local Unemployment Relief.

The Presidents action in forwarding
TO Congress bill for the appropriation
of $600,000 for local unemployment
relief, the money to be taken from
local funds, is dictated by an emer-
gency, the significance Of which can
not be escaped. Washington's pri-
vate charitable and welfare agencies,
supported through generous local con-
tributions to the Community Chest,
have found themselves without suffi-
cient funds to meet the extraordinary
demands for relief this Winter. Money
set aside by the Community Chest for
relief Of the unemployed and admin
lstered by the District Committee on
Unemployment will not last beyond
April l. If, on that date, those here
tofore under the care of this commit
te0 were turned over to other organi-
Eatfons, such as the Associated Char
tiles, those other agencies will find
their budgets taxed beyond their al
ready slender resources.
Additional relief, from other sources,
Is necessary. Practically every commu-
nifty in the United States has found it
necessary to supplement private relief
funds by public funds. The same
necessity has arisen here. The question
has been where to get the money.
During this emergency the principle
that local relief is local problem that
should be dealt with by each locality
has been successfully upheld in the face
Of continued and growing demands that
the Federal Government appropriate
funds for such relief. 1t Is possible
that President Hoover's request for
congressional action in appropriating
funds for unemployment relief in the
District Of Columbia will be considered
inconsistent with his firm stand against
Federal relief for the country as a
Whole
As a matter of fact, 1t is not ineon-
sistent. Congress occupies the status Of
q State Legislature or City Council
IN exercising its exclusive jurisdiction
over the District Of Columbia.
Representative Simmons recently ex-
pressed view, which differentiates be-
tween our municipal funds handled by
Congress as our municipal legislature
and national funds handled by Con-
gress as the national legislature and
protests against the automatic applica-
ton to the former OF decisions con-
corning the appropriations of the latter,
Ii sound. Congress serves in triple
capacity in relation to the National
Capital. AS the national legislature it
appropriates some Of the national
funds, to which the people Of the
District are relatively large con-
tributors, to the maintenance and
development of the Nations city, just
as 1t appropriates millions for internal
improvements and for education, ETC..
In the States. When Congress trans
forms itself into the Districts State
legislature or municipal legislature, as
1t will in action on the Presidents rec
ommendation, it Is dealing with local
funds and should not be restricted by
limitations self-imposed upon its ap-
preparations as National Legislature of
national funds. 1t is on the assumption
that the 100000 now requested for
local relief represents local revenues
and not national revenue, and that
Congress In this case is acting as Wash
ington's "City Council" that the Presi-
dent has sent forward this bill.

WhyPass More kidnapping
Laws? Letter Writer Asks
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
I note much Is being said and written
by the public and In Congress about
making more stringent the laws against
kidnapping. This is very well, but has
anything been advised relative to CATCH
ing the kidnaper?
This Is the one essential. The next
essential Is to apply the law complete
ly and promptly as 1t exists. ! note
that In the recent case of Mrs. DON
nelly OF Kansas City the only party
caught in this case, the man who
knowingly rented shack to the kid
napers for the purpose, was not found
guilty of anything wrong by the jury.
Why pass more laws when those we
have are so often not applied?

Six Months for
 Attack on Keeper
Howard FinkIe of This City Sentenced at Litch=
 field

Judge Ernest A. Ihglis sentenced Howard Finkle, 25, of Waterbury, to six months in jail when the lat ter was arraigned in the Litchfield superior court yesterday. He was charged with having attacked Harry Bull, keeper at the jail on the day that Finkle's parole papers arrived. Had Finkle not figured in the attack, he would have been discharged from the jail then.
 Finkle claimed he came to the rescue of another Waterbury youth, James Dunston, who was being beaten by other prisoners, when he was suddenly placed in solitary confinement by Keeper Bull without being given an op- portunity to state his position in the argument. When the keeper returned the next day and would not heed Finkle's story, the latter claims he got into his argument with Bull.

 Then he spoke of his brothers kindness to every man and woman who seemed to need aid. He told of little incidents in his life as il- frustrating his modesty, his kind ness and his tolerance.

 Jones admitted he had cabled Louis B. Mayer, head of M-G-M studios, offering to explain Bern's reasons for sending q bullet into his brain at his secluded Hollywood home Sunday.
 The physician said he would terminate his visit here and sail for the mainland tomorrow, ar- irving in Los Angeles, Sept 13.
 He refused to discuss the details of his theory pending a coroner's inquest, pointing out that it would be in violation or professional ethics to do so.

Jean Harlow Tried
 To Leap To Death
(Continued from Page 1)

Paul Berns younger brother, Henry. tearfully told investigators that Paul had supported until he died a woman with whom he lived, who suffered mental derange- ment. This story was in line with many others to the effect that Bern's kindly, helpful disposition led him to help many in need.
 Dr Ed B. Jones, who was Bern's personal physician in Hollywood, sent the following cablegram frou Honolulu to Louis B. Mayer, head of Metro Goldwyn studios, accord inE to police:
 Understand motive. Will leave at once to testify for you and Miss Harlow if necessary"
 Dr Jones, it was explained, at tended Bern for several weeks prior to his departure. on a vaca- ton trip. His daughter said he wns to return on Sept IS.
 Dr Frank F. Webb, assistant county autopsy surgeon. performed an autopsy on the body. He said Bern's death was due to typical suicide wound" He examination digclosed mo acute condition of disease"
 Miss Harlow's condition, which has bordered on complete nervous collapse since her husbands nude body was found before a mirror in their hillside home Monday. caused physicians and her relatives grave concern.
 Detectives visited her last night. They found her hysterical as she declared she knew no reason why Bern shot himself to end their married life of two months.
 It was said that, hystercal, the platinum blonde star leaped from her bed at the home of Marine Bello, her step-father and dashed toward a balcony on the second floor. Her nurse and members of the immediate family circle re- strained her and finally quieted her with sedatives.
 Detective Lieutenants Frank Con- daffer and Frank Ryan, veterans of scores of sensational Hollywood investigations, attempted to press Miss Harlow for her version of tho meaning of the suicide note in which Bern wrote of his "ahject humiliation" and referred to the terrible wrong" he had done her:

to reflect Kremlin opinion. With out exception, they were inclined to minimize the differences between Russia and the United States. They indicated a belief that American and Russian statesmen, once they got together, could settle disputed questions comparatively easily.
 Recognition by the American government, 1t is constantly stressed here, would not imply ap- probation of the entire Soviet sys- tenn, any more than it need imply Bolshevist approval of the capital istic system in America.
 Soviet officials, anxious for the commercial and industrial benefits which would result from open trading with the United States, stress the opinion that the inn mense geographical separation of the two counthies eliminates fric- tion which exists in relatoins with more neighboring countries. The amount of unpaid debts and mu- tual claims outstanding are con- sidered much smaller.
 At the same time, potential trade with America is regarded as prob ably large because of Soviet re- spect for American technique and the similarity in the industrial and agricultural problems of the two countries.
 The Soviet argument is that credit restrictions hitherto met by American firms dealing with Rus sia would almost automatically be relaxed as soon as the legal pro- lection of diplomatic recognition Is available.
 Much American money which in the past has gone to Germany to finance manufacturing for the So- viet market, it is argued, would be available to American manufac- turerS

 Kansas City, Mo, Sept 7.-(UP) Paul Bern, brilliant movie eXecu- tive dead in Hollywood by his own hand, had supported financially a former wife who suffered a "de- rangement" while she lived with him, his younger brother, Henry tearfully told questioners here.
 Miss Harlow, the brother said, knew of her husbands relationship with the unnamed woman. and many of his friends also knew of it.
 Paul had no secrets" Bern said, as he paused here en route to Hollywood by air to investigate his brothers death. There is no req son I should not tell of this.
 Tt was long time ago. The wo- man had a nervous breakdown, a Arrangement.
 Paul had nothing to do with it. It wasn't his fault. But he palecd her in a sanitarium and cared for her. He has kept her there since that time.'

cer, his movements on leaving the studio Saturday were traced to- day by Harold Allen (Slickem) Garrison. studio bootblack who drove Berns' automobile that after noon.
 Garrison was believed to ~be the last person aside from household servants to see Bern alive. His de- tailed story of the afternoon was one phase of the minute investiga- tion.
 Authorities were seeking to de- termine:-
 Did jealousy play part of in- ducing Bern to end his life?
 Did a motor car leave the Bern home at 3 a. m. Monday, indicat- ing possibly that someone was present when the producer shot himself? Neighbors were reported to have heard such a car.
 What was the "comedy" which Bern's note said was enacted Sum day evening at his home and was 1t really a comedy?
 Why did Bern write that he was in q state of "abject humiliation ?"
 Investigators scrutinized Bern's actions seeking a clue to these an- swers.
