1t has been fumored that Naxi agents
themselves had q hand in starting It.
A memorandum by Ernst Oberfohron,
late leader Of the Nationalist bloc in
the Reichstag, openly charged the Nazis
with having set fire to the building.
Oberfohron was later found shot under
mysterious circumstances.
A NaA agent, George Emil Bell. is
said to have boasted to friends that he
partook in the incendiarism. He was
murdered by Nazis using an offlcial
Munich police car. which followed him
to the Austrian frontier early in April.
Semi-ofhcial German newspapers have
even admitted that the incendiaries,
whoever they were, must have entered
the Reichstag building through q sub
terranean passage connecting the
Reichstag basement with the residence
Of the speaker Of the Reichstag and
PruSsian premier, Chancellor Adolf
Hitler's No. man, namely, Capt. Her.
mann Wilhelm Goering.

accused of having burned the Reichs-
tag Building in Berlin.
Public opinion the world over Is con-
vinced that four of these men are inno-
cent and are being railroaded to prison
or to death in what may prove to be
one of the most flagrant miscarriages
of justice in modern times. Not since
the Sacco- -Vanzetti case in the United
States has there been such international
interest in criminal trial.
German spokesmen have already
promised public execution of the cul-
prits. It is so obvious that the trial
will not be held in normal conditions
that committee of neutral lawyers has
decided on the unprecedented step Of
holding parallel trial. at The Hague.

the Leipzig trial, and where evidence

a public session.

story hardly seems to hold water. since
Capt. Goerings house is one Of the
best guarded in Berlin and 1t would
have been obviously impossible for a
large group of Communist firebrands to
have entered it.
The fire inspector Of Berlin lost his
job when he announced that so much
incendiary material was found in the
Reichstag basement, which the fire had
not had time to ignite, that several
trucks had to be used to cart 1t away.
A Dutch resident. the Communist
Marius Van Der Lubbe, was arrested on
the night of the fire None saw him
taken and none has seen him since. He
had passport, a photograph and a
membership card of a Dutch Commu-
mist red organization in his pocket when
he was arrested-very conveniently. Van
Der Lubbe Is among the prisoners COM

According to the Oberfohron memo

ON VALIDITY Of
D. {. DRY LAW
Wet Leaders Hope for Ruling
That Prohibitory Acts
Here Are Invalid

Judge Ralph Given in Police
Court today took under considera-
ton the plea in abatement filed
by attorneys in behalf Of Louis o.
Taylor, colored, 20, who is charged
with possession of liquor.
F. Joseph Donahue, Taylor's
counsel, declared the Twenty-first
Amendment repealed the Eight
zenith Amendment in the District
of Columbia as well as in the rest
of the United States.
Claims Law Applies
David A. Hart, assistant United
States Attorney, told the court
in reply that tn Volstead act
is in force in Washington until
Congress passes special legisla-
ton governing the manufacture
and sale Of liquor here. Other
wise, he said, anyone could manu-
facture and sell liquor on street
corners without interference.
Judge Given gave no intima-
ton of when he would announce
his decision. Taylor Is at liberty
on $500 bond.
Hope that local court action
can be secured so as to establish
the point that dry laws are no
longer effective in the District has
been expressed by some here who
are seeking to bring about legal
liquor by Christmas for the Ma
tons Capital.
Their hopefulness is based to
some degree on recent decisions
of courts in the various States, the
latest of which was handed down
yesterday by the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals in Cali
fornia, in which it was held that
since prohibition is no longer a
law, the court is without the power
to administer it.
Prisoners to Be Freed
That decision will result in the
eventual release of between 200
and 300 prisoners who have been
charged with prohibition law
violations, and some are of the
opinion that this decision indi-
Gates the possibility that virtually
all dry, law violators in the
country will be given their free
dom, especially since the Depart
ment of Justice has intimated
that similar decision will be
handed down by an Ohio circuit
court in the near future.
Much interest has been mani
fest here in a case now pending
before Police Court Judge Gus A.
Schuldt, in which Roland Steiner,
who has been charged with
violating the prohibition laws,
has, through his attorney, Louis
L. Whitestone, asked that the
case be dismissed on the ground
that repeal of the national pro-
hibition law included repeal of
the District dry law.

j. s. CONTINUES
GOLD BUYING
POLICY
Administration to DevaIuate
Dollar Further; No Plans
For Sterilization
By GEORGE r. HOLMES
International News Service

There is to be no retreat, for the
present at least, in the Admins
tration's gold-buying policy, under
which the American dollar has
been pushed down to about 81
cents in terms Of foreign curren-
cies.
Instead, the policy is to be adj
vanced. Congressional leaders said
today they had been advised upon
what they described as high
authority that the Administration
plans to devaluate the dollar fur
ther before calling a halt in it's
program.
This will be accomplished by in
creasing the bid price for gold
above the $34.01 figure that has
obtained for two weeks.
No Sterilization
When the advance is to be re-
sumed, and to what ultimate goal,
was not disclosed, but it was en-
phatically stated there is to be no
dollar sterilization for the time
being, reports in London and New
York to the contrary notwithStand-
ing.
The reasons prompting the ad.
ministration in maintaining the
gold price at $34.01 for 10 con-
secutive business days were said
to be:
/. Facilitate the Treasury's
1859 100000 refinancing opera
lions during the first half of
December.
2. To afford Prof. George F.
Warren and other advises OPP
portunity to study the situation.
The refinancing has now been
accomplished, although the Treas.
ury was forced to increase the
interest rate sharply to 2A per
cent, as compared to "a of l per
cent q year ago.
| Thorough Discussion
The whole program, past and
future, was given a thorough go
ing over at the White House last
night by President Roosevelt and
Treasury and Federal Reserve
officials.
It was after this conference that
announcement was made of nc
change in policy.
The Treasury's next refinancine
operation will be $129.O00,000 in
Treasury certificates on January
l. Whether the gold price is tt
resume it's advance before this
date remains to be seen.
There must be a certain degree
Of sterilization attained, however
before April IS, when $1,800,000,
900 of Fourth Liberty Loan bond
mature. Otherwise, it is believed
the Treasury may experience SOM
difficulty in the operation.
