HITLER MOVES
FAST IN DRIVE
AS DICTATOR
Nearly Every Phase of Life
in Germany Now Under
NaZi Control.
lcopyrIeht leaa. by unlted Pressl


BERLIN, May 5.-Germany's con-
version into a Fascist corporate
state" like the dictatorship of Italy,
neared completion today under the
. guidance of Chancellor Adolf Hit
Ter and his Nazi party.
Plans were made today for the
Modification" of the professions,
. such as medicine, law ard engineer
ing, almost the only phases of Ger
man life not already "harmonized"
with the Fascist state.
The Nazis now control completely
) or influence politics, the courts, the
church, state governments, newspa-
pers schools. universities, radio,
books, music, banks, industries,
. commerce, agriculture, labor, sport,
and even sex life.
SteamrOlIer Moves Fast
The process of taking over every
: phase Of German culture and eco
nomic activity has been steam
rolled through by the efficient Nazi
: organization in less than three
. months.
Some of the most drastic moves
: have been taken in the last few
days, such as the seizure of the la
Dor unions and the introductions of
compulsory labor for youths.
In the banking field, the Nazis
control the state bank (Reichs-
bank, of course, but in addition
have "harmonized" the Central As
ISOLATION of German Banks.
The Federation of German In
. dustries was reorganiZed, as we're
the local equivalents of American
Chambers of Commerce, and the
various industries, such as coal, iron
and chemical, we're lined up. Agri-
culture simply is controlled.
d Political opposition has been
crushed. The powerful Steel Hell
met organization, corresponding to
the American Legion, has been ia
ken into the Nazi fold.
Everything Under Control
Newspapers and news agencies
are under rigid control. The Ger
man states were reduced from II
to IL and their governments put in
Fascist hands.
In the social sphere, music and
radio must conform to NaZi stand
ards. Jazz is frowned on.
A board has been formed to weed
(. out Objectionable books, which will
be publicly burned.
The Free Masons and other or
CARNATIONS have been remodeled.
The flag has even been changed.
Duelling is again permitted. Sports
are regulated.
Jews are anathema.
Now compulsory eugenics are pro-
posed, with sterilization of the unfit.

-HE Cherry Sisters have attempted
comeback.
! Any person who read the news
j papers as far back as 1893-94. knows
of the spectacular rise to fame OF the
Cherry Sisters of Cedar Rapids Iowa.
They were carried on tide of laughter TO
Broadway itself, where nightly audiences rocked
and roared at their performances. not all OF
which were meant to be humorous.
There were five Cherry Sisters, though but
four Of them went on the stage. And OF the
four they considered that only three were
dramatic stars; the fourth went East because
it was her one chance to see New York.
They lived on farm outside Of Cedar
Rapids; farm which paid even less in all
probability, than Iowa farms are paying to-
day. However that was, Efde, the leader OF
the group, conceived the idea of boosting the
family fortune by going on the stage.
The effort was local, or nearly so, at first.
They rented what they still call drama
houses at Cedar Rapids and at Marion,
small town five miles from Cedar Rapids. Then
they put ON a show, written. staged, directed
and acted by themselves. Their fame spread
so that the capacity of the theaters could not

accommodate the crowds that drove for miles
to laugh at their serious gesture toward drs-
matte art.
It is said that after the first few performances
their efforts were rewarded by bouquets OF
vegetables in q more or less decayed cono1-
tion 50 that 1t became necessary to erect
screen between them and their rude audiences.
And the play went merrily forward.
THEY now deny that the screen was em-
u ployed but persons who witnessed some
of those early performances insist that It was.
It must be understood that they took their
dramatic plunge seriously. It is to be doubted
that they yet correctly interpret their quick
rise to fame They do not know to this day
that their popularity. was due to the ridiculous
ness Of what to them was art.
The idea which has persisted in their cosmos
Is that their fame is attributed to their talents
and to the originality of their specially acts.
A representative of Oscar Hammersteln the
great impresario, came out from New York 10
see If they really were as bad as the Iowa
papers stated He saw them in Peoria. H..
where thew were billed, and almost fell out of
his seat. Then he decided that they were SO
bad that they we're good, and he booked them
at q generous salary-for an eight-week con-
tract at Hammerstein's Olympic Theater IN
New York.
when they got to New York, and Hammer
stein saw them in rehea-Sal, he turned ON the
agent to fire him forthwith for daring to bring
such an act to Broadway But the agent
managed to convince him that the very fact
that the act was so terrible would insure its
success, so Hammerstein decided to take
chance.
THE sisters made their New York debut on
! November Is, 1885, before a packed house.
When they paraded onto the stage IN cherry
red satin costumes, with Jessie humping
big bass drum chanting, Cherries ripe,
boom-de-ay! Cherries red, boom-de-ay! The

ence gaped and wondered just what sort Of

During and after the var they baked bread
for living at the rear Of . dilapidated house
in Cedar Rapids.
Ehe ran for mayor Of Cedar Rapids rev
years ago on what she called "curfew" plat
form, her idea being to make her home city
safe for youth by requiring everybody under
IT to be of the streets and out of the picture
shows by 9. OF course, her attempt was treated
humorously as were her stage attempts, and
she was badly beaten
About year ago Gary Cooper made a per-
sonal appearance in Cedar Rapids and the only
persons he requested an audience with were
the famous Cherry Sisters. While the pretty
girls of the town pined on the sidelines, he
devoted as much time to the now middle-aged
sisters as they would allow. even insisting on
being photographed with them.
Kdie has written q novel, 'The Black
smiths Daughter"
CHE also has a play, "The Gypsy Wsif-or-
y Nobody's Child" To date she has found
neither publisher nor producer, but nothing
would be less surprising than that some pro-
ducer might decide that the sex-jaded appetite
of New York theatergoers would find in the
quality Of the play, coupled with the fame OF
the Cherry Sisters q gold mine not to be
sneezed at.
Also Edde expressed to the writer her will
ingness to appear in person at the premiere
performance to explain what the play was
about, who wrote 1t, etc.
Just now the exciting rumor Is current that
Hollywood has approached" the three remain
ing Cherry Sisters. How true the rumor is re-
mains to be seen. Certain It is that in the
flesh or on the screen the Cherry Sisters
would send any audience away chuckling, and
the perpetrators Of the act would be puzzled.
rs they were puzzled back in the COS, Is to
what was amusing about their act.
It is said that their recent attempts 70 stage

scattering Of coins always hit the stage, the
sisters assumed that the audience was re-
warding their efforts; the vegetables, they felt,
came from a misguided minority that could
not appreciate true art when 1t saw it.
Following on the heels Of the tumultuous
New York engagement, the sisters appeared in
Baltimore and other Eastern cities after which
they toured the Middle West and went on to
the Pacific Coast.

They flew recently for the first time

flight to Japan and China has there
been a venture typical OF the earlier
Lindbergh activities. The trip to Green
land may extend on to Iceland and
Denmark The route has been flown

craft have made several such flights

that the so-called Far Northern route,

Music an Asset of Leisure

From the youngstown Vindicator.
A musical movement to awaken the
Nation, communities and individuals
to seek the development OF civil
zation which will not degenerate under
greater leisure has received the atten-
ton of the National Federation OF
Music Clubs, which recently held Its
eighteenth biennial convention In Min
neapolis.
1T is our sacred obligation to sup
port a type Of education in schools and
colleges, q training of the young in
the homes, designed for living which
will fill leisure hours with durable sat
isfactions," said the president Of the
federation in bringing the movement to
the delegates attention. 1t was point
ed out that music assumes tremen-
dous Importance, and II denied at this
time will deprive future citizens Of
something they will need most-an in
spring interest beyond that Of earn
ing q living.
In the last four years the 5000
musical organizations In the federation
have had no. small part In maintain
ing the courage Of the American people
to face the depression. The clubs have
sponsored $50 State choral festivals
and more than 100000 performances Of
American compositions, and despite
difficulties have carried on with cour-
age. In the light Of adversely these
labors were seen and carried on as
never before for the musical, cultural
and spiritual well-being Of the Ameri-
can people.
The part music has had in these
times In sustaining the people Is re-
hinder Of its inspiring effect IN the
dark days of the World War, when
people assembled in great numbers in
all parts Of the country to renew their
courage with song.

Motor Trade Encouraged.
From the Newark Evening News.

From the Newark Evening News.
Cheering news comes from the auto
mobile industry, which has been con-
sistently optimistic and courageous
during a period which was more try
ing to it than to many another. The
information is Of more vehicles pro-
duced and sold during the past two
months than in any like period in q
year. coupled with a revision Of meth
DDS for obviating ovsrproduction. which
had costly results at the beginning Of
the depression period, and underpro-
duction.
Word from Detroit is that from 1885,
900 to 10000 cars were distributed in
May, which is lot of cars, even II far
from records Of the peak days. With
allowance for a reasonable falling of,
the volume of production this month
is expected to exceed that of June last
year.
There is a note of optimism. too. in
the report of General Motors, which
shows sales to consumers in the United
States of IS 1863 cars in May, compared
with II 500 in April and SO 500 In May,
1889. Last mOlltH S safes were the
largest in any month since July. 1881
Sales in May, including Canada and
overseas shipments, were 98,205 cars.
compared with 86,967 in April and &C.
739 in May, 1882.
Back in 1929 the automobile busi-
ness was a bit overoptimistic. It
Joined the downward procession with
Q surplus of about 900 900 units. Dis
posal Of those during 1880, with q pro-
duction Of more than 3,500,00O new
cars, was no profitable accomplishment.
Lessons learned at that time will be Of
great value when the expected sub
stantial demand becomes an actually,
from the standpoint of manufacture
ers and stockholders, and in the stabil-
ization OF employment.
Over the industry hovers the shadow
OF the used car, vexing problem since

Of recovery these industries would IN al
probability have been clamoring for the
immediate and full operation Of the re-
covery act. The danger Is that the
Improvement In conditions In industry
may be temporary; that with . huge
production-and some Of the plants
have returned to the 1929 output al
ready-and without . much greater
employment and development of the
purchasing power Of the country there
win be another collapse. Another col
lapse would be far more serious than
all the three years of depression which
have gone before. That Is something
for industry to consider II 1t Is planning
not to cooperate with the Government
at this time.
The cotton textile industry has set
other major industries . good example.
1t not only presented code to which
seventy-flve per cent Of the industry sub
scribed, but 1t has accepted the modified
code after full public hearings and the
code becomes effective July II. Other
industries should follow that example
Many Of the smaller industries have
come forward with proposed codes,
which will be given consideration in due
time. But the big basic industries Of
the country necessarily are essential to
the success Of the whole undertaking.
If there must be a showdown, the
sooner i, comes the better. Should the
Government be forced INTO the position
Of licensing manufacturing concerns
and compelling them to obtain licenses
and to live up to the codes Of fair COM
petition set up for them. undoubtedly
the matter will be carried into the
courts. 1t has been charged on the
floors Of BOTH Houses Of Congress that
the recovery act is unconstitutional.
However, the act has been written as
an emergency measure, operative for
only two years. The powers Of Govern
ment in an emergency have been held to
be very wide In this country. There is
good reason to believe that the courts
would uphold the arm Of the Govern
ment If the test were made.
