Brown Shirt Leader OF
Germany Says Presi-

BY ERIC KEYSER
United Press Staff Correspondent

BERLIN, Aug. II. U.P)-Adolf
Hitler stands ready to arm his
brown shirted storm troops as, de-
tense measure, he limited in an in
terview published as police broke
up 25 parades protesting against
the ''all monocle" government of
Franz Won Papen.
The interview in the Westfaeli-
Schen Zeitung quoted the German
Fascist leader as citing a toll of
300 dead and 5000 wounded Ma
tional Socialists in the past seven
months, and suggesting that if
such terrorism continues he will
be forced to arm the brown shirt
militia.
In ridiculing the government 5
emergency decrees-adopted in an
effort to stem the wave of political
terrorism throughout the nation
Hitler declared that "the right Of
self-defense cannot be talked away
by stupid phrases about law and
order"
Once he commands his party
comrades" to adopt the right of
self-defense, the would-be Napoleon
of Germany said, the terrorism
would be wiped out as though "by
a flash of lightning"
The present regime headed by
Chancellor yon Papen and War
Minister Kurt Won Schleicher, Hit
Ter said, will be opposed to the ut
most by the National Socialists
because it will lead us into chaos" "
Hitler accused Won Papen of pull
ing in" President Won Hindenburg
when the question of his own ap-
pointment to the chancellorship
reached head last Saturday. Won
Papen, according to Hitler, was
simply trying to shift responsibility
to the aged president. :.
Hitler said Won Hindenburg al
ready had reached a decision be-
fore their conference Saturday, and
that he would not have called on
the president had he known 1t.

The farmers are on strike in
Iowa. Instead of selling their
stuff for nothing, they just eat
it themselves, and that saves
'em the expense Of hauling it
to town.
Funny they never thought of
that before. I have always
claimed that if every farmer
eats all that he raised, that he
would not only get fat him
self, but farm products might
'"probably" go up. Course on
account of this not being an

LOS ANGELES, Aug. II.
W.P)-There is more than one
way to give away milk.
DIR. Fred c. Segelken of the
state department of agricuI-
ture was making his rounds
of retail establishments.
On a busy downtown corner
he saw a grocer advertising
milk at 1 cent a quart. Across

. boasting that he gave 1t away.
DIR. Segelken investigated.
He entered the "free milk"
store and demanded a quart.
The clerk waved to a fish
bowl of pennies.
"Take a penny the clerk
directed, land buy yourself a
quart across the street.
The man who sells the milk
pays three cents = quart for
1t, losing two cents. The
competitor who gives it away
loses only a penny.

ROOSEVELT AND

DURING HEARING
BY FREDERICK A. STORM
United Press Staff Correspondent

STATE CAPITOL, ALBANY, N
Y, Aug. II. Governor Franklin
D. Roosevelt concluded his exam
nation of Mayor James j. Walker
of New York today in a burst of
angry denunciation of the mayors
"halting testimony"
Walkers declaration that he con-
sidered the "fee splitting" activities
of his brother, DR.. William Walker,
ethical and proper" enraged the
governor, who commanded him to
be more responsive to questions.
The bitter debate between the
governor and mayor over the right
of DR.. Walker to accept half the
fees from compensation cases, paid
to him by physicians on city pay
rolls, provided the most dramatic
phase of the trial to determine
Walkers fitness to hold his $40, 900
job.
Walker squirmed in his chair,
sometimes silent and sometimes
meeting the governors vigorous
questions with a return volley of
questions of his own.
Occasionally the governor pound
ed on his desk to emphasize his in
sistence that the mayor answer the
question" but he could not force
the harrassed mayor to admit that
he viewed his brothers activities as
improper.
The session was adjourned at
4:30 p. M, until tomorrow at 1920
a. m.
ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. II. W.P)-
During an attorneys argument at
Mayor James Walkers hearing to-

State Legion Turns Down
Suggestion For Pay

Is FEDERAL NATTER
Convention Adopts Reso-
luton Urging Govern
ment To Act.

OAKLAND, Aug. II. U.P)-The
state convention of the American
Legion today turned down Gov.
James Rolph's proposal that Cali
fornia float bond issue to pay the
soldiers bonus to its own veterans.
Speakers insisted upon bonus pay
ment "all over the United States"
and the convention passed resolu-
ton favoring immediate federal
payment of the debt"
OAKLAND, Aug. II. U.P, - The
California American Legion con-
vention today had up for consid-
Grafton a proposal by Gov. James
Rolph, jr., that the state issue
bonds for the immediate payment
of the soldiers bonus, the state to
be reimbursed by the federal gov
| ernment when regular federal
bonus payments became due.
The convention was thrown into
an enthusiastic uproar when the
governor, making an unscheduled
speech before the Legionnaires, sug-
gested the plan.
The governor told the ex-soldiers
the state would back the proposal,
provided it was approved by the
convention.
Since congress has done moth
ing for the payment of the bonus
debt" the governor said, I'VE might
work out some plan whereby Cali
fornia would take care of its own
ex-soldiers, pending action by the
federal government It would not
cost the state cent, since we
would be reimbursed. Meanwhile,
our ex-service men would receive
aid when they are urgently in need
of help.
Il don't know how many men in
California are eligible to receive
the bonus, but it might be q good
idea for the financial secretary OF
the Legion to find out how many
there are and how much is due
| them. Then we could bond the
state to make an assignment from
the federal government and pay
1t Off"
Today, the governor amplified his
remarks by saying he would throw
the support of his administration
behind the proposal if the Legion
decided to back the movement.
IT'S up to the boys of the Legion,
now," he said. "If they support
the proposal, we are behind them.
Well let the people vote on the
bond issue. 1t should prove OF
great assistance to the veterans
who are in need of financial
assistance
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. II. W.R)
Gov. James Rolph's suggestion
that California meet the bonus debt
of her ex-soldiers brought wave
of criticism from state officials to-
day.
Charles G.. Johnson, state treas
urer, said it would be absolutely
impossible for the state to assume
so tremendous burden under the
present tax burden"
Although the governor said such
a plan would cost the state MOTH
ing, since the federal government
would reimburse California, John
son said the taxpayers would have
to pay Sl.3i in interest charges
alone for every dollar loaned the
veterans between now and l945.
Attorney General U. S. Webb and
Director of Finance Vandegrift,
saying they had not been consulted
before Rolph made the suggestion,
declined to express their opinions,
but both indicated such a step
would involve difficult and expens-
i've legal and legislative maneuver-
| ing,

ADVOCATES CHANGE.
IN CRIMINAL LAWS.
Institute Favors Granting
Prosecution New Trial
in Such Cases.

The American Law Institute, now
meeting in the Mayflower Hotel, went
on record today as favoring change
In the criminal laws so that the prose-
ction may be granted a new trial in
criminal cases.
This would involve fundamental
changesin criminal procedure SO that in
cases where the defendant has been
acquitted, and in the course of the trial
q material error has been made to the
prejudice of the prosecution, the prose-
cution shall be entitled to a new trial.
The institute also approved sections
of the proposed statute on double
jeopardy, providing that issues of law
and fact shall be.tried by the court and
that the discharge of jury for good
cause shall not act as bar to a second
prosecution.
The first section of the proposed new
statute in this connection provides that
all issues, whether Of law or fact, which
arise on motion to quash, based on a
provision Of this chapter, shall be tried
by the court.
The report on the section dealing
with double jeopardy was presented by
William e. Mikell, professor of criminal
law at the University of Pennsylvania
The statute proceeds upon the principle
that only an acquittal or conviction, not
jeopardy Of conviction or punishment,
is a bar to a second prosecution for
the same offense.
The institute today also will con-
slider the proposed restatement of the
law Of contracts.

AUTOMOBILE TRADE
CONTINUES HOPEFUL
Optimistic Predictions on Years
Business Continue to Come
From Producers.
BY DAVID A. WILKIE,
Written for the Associated Press.

DETROIT, May 6.-The automobile
industrys irrepreSsible optimistS, I'M
daunted by the disappointing showing
Of the first four months of 1882 in the
way of increased distribution are car
rying on with the song of better days
ahead. Most of them have given up
any idea that the hoped-for $500, 300
unit mark IN production and retail dis
tribution can be attained this year and
are compromising with themselves on
the possibility that the delayed i'm
provement all have looked for may
eventuate in time to place the years
output and consumption at least on
par with that of last year.
Last years production in the United
States and Canada was 2,465 900 cars
and trucks, considerably below the rec
ord of 1880. Most of the industry's
executives have hoped that through un-
precedented sales efforts the decline
could be checked. The sales resistance
that has marked the last 38 months,
however, appears to have tightened up
somewhat in the first part of the cur
rent year and sales executives and 9TH
ers concerned in the industry's distrib
uting division have been obliged to
revise their early estimates of what
1882 will show, when final figures are
cast
The optinlistS seemingly have rea-
sonable grounds for their predictions
At the Ford plant the company is ex-
pected to produce at least $4,000 units
in May. Chevrolet, in the same price
field, also is scheduled for a minimum
output of $4,000 cars. Plymouth is ex-
pected to add approximately 30,008
cars to the industry's May production.
Rumor circulating in trade circles
has it that one company which here
tofore has confined its activities to the
middle-price bracket will come out
some time this month with a new car to
sell in the S500-price field. The report
is that the car will be a six-cylinder
type claiming 25 miles to the gallon,
and featuring an all-steel body and
frame built as a unit.
