ATOP HIGHEST PEAK IN THE
BLUE RIDGE RANCE

Since white men first reached
the Shenandoah and Loudoun
Valleys of Virginia-two of the
most beautiful and fertile sections
of the Old Dominion-they have
used the high peaks in the Blue
Ridge and Allegheny mountains
as observation and signal towers.
In troublesome times, watchers
from the peaks early witnessed
the movement of troops that were
bound their way with the avowed
purpose of causing trouble.
A Charming Picture
During the long periods of
peace, people have gone to the
tops of the mountains to see the
country beyond and to marvel at
its beauty.
Towns miles away gleam in the
hot sun, unpainted tin roofs flash
in the light, bends in the Shen-
andoah River stand out in the
midst of green fields, giving a
graphic idea of the tortuous
through its valley.
One of the outstanding obser-
vation points of this type is
Mount Weather, located on one
of the highest peaks in the Vir-
ginia Blue Ridge Mountains. The
elevation there is LIPS feet above
sea level and from the cleared
top of Mount Weather, the two
valleys stand out like patch work
quilts, the Alleghanies, Massa-
nutten and the Bull Run noun
tains forming the frame for the
picture.
Good, Paved Roads
The mountain is 81 miles from
Washington and is reached over
road running through the
northern section of the Loudoun
Valley, through Leesburg, Hamil-
ton, Purcellville, Round Hill and
Bluemont.
All but the last five miles are
over fine, paved roads, and the
latter section is we'll graded and
firm, calling only for slow driving.
At no place need the motorist go
out of high gear to reach the
summit.
Starting from downtown Wash
ington, the motorist drives out
Pennsylvania Avenue to M Street
and to Canal Road, following
that thoroughfare to the Chain
Bridge. Upon reaching the Vir-
ginia side a turn to the right is
made up the hill to the top of the
palisades along the Virginia

Brings Suspicion
of Vendetta

What police believe is a vendetta
case was revealed today with the
disclosure that Joseph Puglisi,
well-to-do produce merchant, has
been threatened with death un-
less he hands over $4,000.
A week ago today Puglisi was in
his store in the First block Of H
st. N. w., when he received a mys-
terious telephone call demanding
$4,000 by Saturday. He was

his place of business. Later, John
Lacovaco, an employe, received a
phone message which stated:
"We're coming down for the
money"
Lacovaco locked the doors.
Shortly afterward a small coupe
with Maryland license tags drove
up and a short, swarthy man with
a black moustache stepped out
and attempted to enter the store.
Unable to get in, he paced up and
down on the sidewalk for about
Is minutes and then drove away.
The following da y Puglisi re-
ported the threats to police. De-
tective Sergeant j. j. Tolson has
been assigned to the case.

STOCKHOLM, Aug. 81 G.N.S0.
At the invitation of Crown Prince
Gustav, Col. and Mrs. Charles A,
Lindbergh arrived in Sweden from
Denmark today to visit the homes
of his ancestors.
They ferried across the sound
from Elsinore, Denmark, and

100000 NAZlS
IN CONCLAVE

NUREMBERG, Germany, Aug.
81 N.S0.-Streets bathed in
summer sunshine resounded to
the tread of marching feet today
as Adolf Hitler's brown-shirted
and brown-booted legions took
command of this ancient city for
the biennial convention of the
German Nazi party.
With thousands of additional
"delegates" arriving hourly, spe-
cial branches of the party held
business sessions, from which
press and public were excluded,
while Chancellor Hitler devoted
himself to reviewing his forces,
rapidly approaching the 100000
mark.
Contrary to expectations, Hitler
did not spend last night with his
troops at the gigantic camp on the
outskirts of the city. But in the
early hours of the morning he
stole away from his hotel and
visited the camp to greet in per-
son each detachment of the ar
irving storm troopers.
The conference is a "stag af-
fair" although 10000 women
functionaries are present as spec
tators. Chancellor Hitler decreed
special convention for women
party members at some later date,
feeling their affairs would be lost
here among 100000 men.

LAW DELEGATES
COOL To j. 8.
POLICE IDEA
Leaders Gain Impression NAL
10y Would Abrogate Con-
Stitution If Necessary

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Aug
81 G.N.S). - Sharp discussion
arose today at the annual meet
ing of the American Bar Associa'
tion as a result of the drastic
suggestion of Pat Malloy, Assist.
ant United States Attorney Gen
eral, that the police forces OF
America be federalized as a means
of coping with the kidnaper and
racketeer.
The proposal was received cool
ly, although leading lawyers OF
the nation, assembled here, are
manifeSting keen interest in the
crime situation.
Resentment Noted
Malloy'S proposal aroused re-
sentiment among some of the dele
gates. His views were almost di'
rectly opposed to the principles of
other speakers, including Clar-
ence E. Martin, president Of the
association and Judge John j..
Parker, of Charlotte, N. c., who
opposed further extension of Fed
eral authority over State preroga-
tiveS.
Malloy declared:
eve should federalize the
police forces Of America"
That would mean, he said, that
every United S. ties attorney and
marshal and his assistants; every
State or county prosecuting a.
torney and his assistants; every
sheriff and his officers, and every
State police officer in the coun,
try woul hold a commission from
the Federal Government and be
a unit under one directing head
The direction of such a plan, he
asserted, should be centralized un,
der one head-the Attorney Gen
eral of the United States.
Delegates Hostile
Delegates listening to Malloy
gained the impression he advo-
Gated the abrogation of the Con-
stitution, if necessary, to put this
plan into effect. Malloy informed
international News Service today
he did not advocate any uncon-
stitutional measures, regardless of
the impression the delegates re-
ceived.

She declared Read led her to
believe on that romantic night
that he was single man.
Read spent several days in
New York with Miss Windsor
and then departed, declaring he
would go to Reno to obtain a
divorce. Miss Windsor said:
81 told him not to come on
if he was not a single man.

him unless he had a divorce"
Love Letter Read
A letter Miss Windsor wrote
read three hours after he had
left New York was read into the

Darling:
"You have been gone only
three hours; it seems strange
to come up to my room and

Everyone seemed to know
you were gone; for many came
up to me and asked if I felt
blue.

sweet. Give my best to Frank

later declared he planned a di-
vorce, but Mrs. Reads attorney

Lawson U.s..
Abandoning by People Of
Individual Rights Held
Worst Phase of EVIL

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Aug
81 QN.S0.-Veiled criticism of
the trend of Government in the
United States which results in
policies such as the NRA was
voiced in an address prepared for
delivery this afternoon before the
American Bar Association by Sen.
ator Patrick A. McCarran of Ne.
vada.
Referring to such measures as
national emergency banking, the
emergency agricultural act, the
emergency railroad act, and the
NRA, Senator McCarran said:
"These acts and others of
their kind, all cOuched under
the declaration of national
emergency constitute an ava
lanche that sweeps away the
structures fought for and reared
by the great Jefferson and his
adherents.
NEW POWERS SCORED
"New powers, never dreamed
Of by the trainers of the or
ganic law, never ventured in the
imagination of Hamilton, never
claimed by the arrogant Jack
son, never espOuSed by even the
studiOuS Wilson, are now the
prerOgatives of a Democratic
Executive. In these great vesti-
lures of power, the rights of the
sovereign States have been mini
mized, if not entirely lost"
Senator McCarran's subject was
"Growth of Federal Executive
Power" discussing the various
emergencies which have arisen,
he said:
Each occasion when the
word emergency is in the air,
human needs and human pro-
lection may require unusual ac-
tivitie. But the security of a
stabilized government is more
important for the welfare of
the masses than all the expert
mentS in the world.
Tests "ToO Costly"
Experiments are too costly
when they strike at a principle
which secures individual lib
erty.
"The expansion of Executive
Power as it exists today is not
q spontaneous thing. 1t is a
growth that germinated from
q seed SOwn in the days Of the
past. 1t may have been planted
by Jefferson, himself, when as
President he did an unauthOr-
lied thing. 1t was cultivated by
Lincoln, Garfield, Roosevelt and
Wilson,"
Senator McCarran said the
worst phase of the situation which
has developed is "the relinquiSh-
ment of the people of the rights
of individual activity, won for
them through centuries of strug-
GLE"
