THREE ALLEGED 'OUTRAGES'
BY HITLERITES AGAINST U.S..
CITIZENS ARE PROTESTED
Terrorist Tactics Said APP

of Jewish Race
By FREDERICK KUN
United Press Staff Correspondent

BERLIN, March 8.-UP).-
Three alleged "outrages" perpe-
trated by Hitherto Brown Shirts
against citizens of the United
States during the feverish period
of the Reichstag elections were
called to the attention of the Ger
man government yesterday by the
American embassy.
The American communication
was based mainly on the kidnap-
ing and shanghaiing of Nathaniel
S. Wolff, 37-year-old painter from
Rochester, N. Y. Feeling has be-
come acute among residents of
the American colony here as a re-
suit of the three incidents, it is
said, and the embassy has publicly
offered assurance that every pre-
caution is being taken to protect
citizens of the United States.
Wolff, in a sworn statement
given to the embassy, charges that
five or six uniformed Hitlerites en-
tered his room at 5 a. m. Monday.
each with drawn revolver. They
called him "dirty Jew" he said.
and searched his belongings. When
they asked him about certain re-
marks they accused him of having
made, he offered denial and ex-
planned that he was not interested
in German politics.
The Hitlerites. he charges, then
struck him on the jaw and took
him to a police station, where he
was searched.
At the request Of the Brown
Shirts. Wolff signed paper GER
tifying that he is Jew and pledg-
ing himself to leave the city the
same evening for Paris. Eventual
ly. according to his affidavit, he
was taken to Grunewald forest
on the outskirts of the city where,
after being subjected to terror
istic" treatment, he was aban-
doned.
Wolff, who had been visiting in
Berlin three weeks. proceeded to
Paris after reporting the affair to
the embassy.
Another U. S. citizen who COM
planned was Edwin Dakin. 81. a
native of Hannibal, Mo-. and a
writer known widely in the United
States for his biography of Mary
Baker Eddy.
Dakin has been living in Ber-
lin since September. Early Mon
day. he said, five Brown Shirts ell
tered his room with drawn revolv-
ers and asked why a red flag was
displayed in his window. He ex-
planned that the flag did not be-
long to him but had been left by
previous occupant of the room.
The invaders then entered the
next room, supposedly occupied
by Communists, and did not re-
turn.

MORE CROP FUNDS WILL BE
LOANED in COUNTY TO AID
FARMERS THAN PAST SEASON
But Government Loans
This Year Are in Ma
ture of Trust Funds
With Heavy Penalty for
Their Diversion

Although restrictions on fed
eral farm loans have been tight
ened this year, a larger sum is
expected to be loaned to farm
ers in this county than last year,
according to D. l.. McCafferty,
field inspector for the crop loan
production office.
Mr.. McCafferty is now at his
office on the second floor of the
city hall and will assist farmers
in making out applications for
loans.
Regulations provide that the
maximum permitted to any one
borrower is $500, or in case Of
tenants the total Of all loans to
tenants and landlords within a
single county cannot exceed
$1,000. The actual amount ad-
vanced will depend upon the
borrowers requirements. A first
lien or mortgage on the crop will
be required.
The loans must be repaid on
on or before October 81, 1888.
Last year loans were required to
be repaid before November 80.
Interest at 5 1-2 per cent an
nually, deducted in advance, will
be charged.
Since loans call for a first
lien on the crop, the borrower
frequently has to procure walv-
ers from prior mortgage rights,
Mr.. McCafferty said.
If the applicant is a tenant or
is farming land under deed or
so-called crop contract OR has
given a prior mortgage on 1888
crops, regulations require that
he must secure waivers. II the
applicant is an owner and farms
with share troopers, waivers OF
such must be secured.
Regulations further require
that the person waving rights
must agree not to dispose of his
rent note, mortgage, or other Sc
curity without first having OBJ
tanned the written consent of the
, duly authorized agent of the
secretary of agriculture.
Regulations make it unlawful

LEADERS ADVISED OF
ROOSEVELT'S PLANS
BY THOMAS l.. SIOkES
United Press Staff Correspondent


United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON. Mar. 8. (UP).
Democratic congressional leaders
were advised last night that Presi-
dent Roosevelt would recommend
a modified bank deposit guarantee
bill and measures to ratify his
bank holiday when the special ses.
sion opens Thursday noon.
The tentative plan is to enact
these bills by Saturday and ad-
journ congress for two or three
weeks while committees prepare a
permanent legislative program
reaching all problems intensified
by the depression.
Democratic leaders joined Tues
day in advocating a guarantee de-
posts measure whereby national
banks would contribute to a guar
antee fund to be handled by a
government corporation.
President Roosevelt's recon-
mendations for permanent legisla-
ton are expected TO lncluue gen
eral banking bill along lines of
the Glass bill passed by the last
congress. q farm relief measure,
an unemployment relief bill, a
beer bill, and possibly some reve-
nue. legislation to balance the
budget.
The president desires time to
formulate a plan for recognizing
government departments under
the almost dictatorial power con-
ferred upon him at the last ses-
sion through which he hopes to
save around $200,000,000.
He hopes to have this ready for
congress when it reconvenes after
the proposed recess. Republican
leaders. it is learned. may insist
that the temporary banking pro-
gram be referred to committee if
it is of involved character. If so,
the proposed recess may be post
poned for a week or more.
