Confirming his drastic decision to
withdraw from European councils
on the ground that Germany was
being treated unfairly, the Nazi
chancellor speeded up the cam

election and plebiscite November II.
None but NaZis may run for Of

Ten million copies Of the first

"Germany'S Peaceful Way" "Rup-
ture of Disarmament Talks by the
Victors," and world Rearmament.'
Ballots for the plebiscite bear the
question:
do you, German man, do you
German woman, sanction the pol
icies of your reich's government?
Are you prepared to recognize it as
an expression of your comprehen-

There were indications today
that, while Hitler had no definite

Slayer Leaves Drink OF Much
Discussed Whisky Behind Him
In Death Cell.
BY DAN BOWERMAN

SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Calf,
Oct. 20. - Dallas Egan, 33, lover of
poetry and the fine arts, yet con-
fesSed cold-blooded killer, dropped
to his death on the San Quentin
gallows today for Staying an aged
man during the Olympic games in
Los Angeles.
Egan spurned clemency from
Governor James Rolph, Jr., asking
only good whisky as his compan-
ion in the hours that proceeded his
death.
He took drink of straight whis-
ky two hours before he was hanged.
At 1901 a. m. the trap was sprung:
twelve minutes later he was pro-
nounced dead
"Egan has whisky on his breath
but he died SOBER" was the state
ment of DR.. E. L. Stanley, prison
physician and acting warden.
The condemned man dressed
smartly in a black suit, open-necked
shirt and carpet slippers. strobe
cirmly into the gallows room.
Unaided by guards, he climbed
the 13 steps alone. lie had spurn-
ed preferred offers of religious SOL
ace by Catholic priest, and a
Protestant minister.
The plaintive strains of a tune
named Ida" drifted from the cell
room behind the gallows chamber
as witnesses gathered, and DR..
Stanley went to summon Egan.
The convict was calmly playing his
monograph.
Rejects Last Drink
you had better turn it off,
said Stanley, I'VE are ready"
"Okay, DOCTOR replied Egan. Il
wanted to pass out with the men,
DRY of that tune"
He glanced quickly around his
barren cell. About one drink re-
manned in bottle of whisky, which
the governor had provided.
Death cell witnesses said Egan
apparently considered another last
drink, but changed lis mind ond
stepped from his cell for the gal
lows march.
"Egan, to the end, maintained
his earnest desire to die.
He was the calmest man in the
history Of the death house. said
DR.. Stanley, a veteran prison Off
cial.
The two guards who marched
with Egon up the i3 steps of the
gallows, might as well have stayed
behind. He took the steps two at
a time, forcing the guards to hurry
to keep up with him.
Quickly, and without suggestion
from officials, Egan took his place
on the trap door.
He glanced out over the crowd of
SO witnesses as guards adjusted
straps and the black mask. Wit
nesses had a final glance at the
calm, hardened face, and then the
trap was sprung.
Three men in the crowd tainted

where he discussed the general ag-

Truax would not divulge what

The development came as recov-

the situation in agrarian states,

some direct administration action

The Ohioan suggested a schedule
of price fixing of farm commodi-
ties as one of the means of ere
storing the low morale in the ag-
ricultural centers. He also recon-
mended to the President that brok-
ers in grain on the Chicago board

that commodity only above MINI

Truax asked Mr.. Roosevelt that

cattle at 10 cents.
"When we had dollar wheat he
explained "it was the best tonic

Now that the price has sifted down
through the Vaccinations of spec

poker game at the expense of the
farmer, the morale in agricultural

He expressed the belief that the
only way the country could get rid
of the carry-over of surplus farm
products was to fix minimum price
levels on the farm.
