NeaU Prussian Secret Police
 Guard Against Anti-NaSi Plots

BERLIN, June 6.-Hermann Goe- ring, Prussian premier, and right hand man of Adolf Hitler, has started a secret police system in the big state which embraces two- thirds of Germany.
 In brief communique to the public he explained that the rev department would busy itself with discovering and combating all plots regarded as dangerous to the state i
 In Equalization" Wave
 Other sections of the reich are expected to follow the Prussian ex- ample.
 Goering's announcement came in the midst of the sweeping "gleich- schaltung,' or equalization" wave. This government fostered move ment was designed to bring into line with the centralized leader ship idea of the nazis, every phase of German life It affected busi- ness, art, agriculture, education, the church, labor and sports. Particu- larly it left no government depart ment unaffected.
 One of the main factors of the secret police force is that Hermann Goering has complete control over it. Its officers report to him di- rectly.
 Watch Press, Mails, Phones
 The Berlin headquarters also has been made the center of supervis- ion of the press, mails and tele- phone, the secrecy of the latter two having been rescinded in February.
 Strict orders have been issued that the officers of the secret serv- ice are to be recruited only from absolutely trustworthy tiona ranks" Special emphasis is laid upon the fact that the secret agents possess full police powers.
 Under the new law, subdivisions of the Berlin headquarters will be established in every administrative district of Prussia. Secret agents, combing the country, dispatch their reports speedily, either to the Der lin headquarters direct or to their district office, according to the im- portance of their observations.

AMERICAN ON ANOTHER LEG
 SOLO FLIGHT
Takes Twelve Hours to Cover Distance of
 400 Miles
DELAYED AT MOSCOW
 BY NEEDED REPAIRS
Aviator Is Still Ahead of Record Made by
 Post-Gatty

OMSK, Siberia, June G. Jimmy Mattern, making solo flight around the world, landed here at 1:35 p. m., Moscow time, from Moscow, requiring 12 hours and Fl minutes on the flight, dis tance of 1,400 miles, without stop.
 He snatched two hours sleep at Moscow and then chafed because necessary plane repairs kept him there for nine hours and seventeen minutes.
 Despite the delay in re- pairing two tears resulting from the ice that formed dur ing the Atlantic leg, Mattern is ahead of the Post and Cat ty time.
 Weather Is Bad
 Unfavorable weather decided him against going by way of Yakutsk in favor of Omsk.
 Mattern fixed rubber bands to the stick from his compass rack allowing sufficient margin to pro- vide for slight drift to the right and then crossed his legs with his right foot to put slight pres sure on the left rudder which capitalized the drift and kept the plane on an even course.
 Got Cat Maps
 Mattern explained he got cat maps on the flight over the At lantic. He encountered headwinds all of the way here from Moscow.
 Mattern reached Omsk with a 54-minute lead on the Post and Gatty record but lost some ad- vantage as the fliers flew over Omsk without stopping. Post and Gatty flew on to Novosibirsk.
 Mattern will fly 1,250 miles to Irkutsk and expects to catch up on the Post-Gatty record.
 REMAINS AT OMSK
 MOSCOW, June 6. Mattern plans to remain at Omsk until to- morrow according to advices re- ceived here. He gave no reason but it is probably on account of mechanical difficulty.

which has taken place during the years
of subnormal production
The piiing up of large backlog Of
buying orders was more or less Of a
theoretical hope of the industry's sales
directors in the early days of the de-
cline that bsgan late in 1929, and much
was made of 1t at that time. As the
purchase of new cars continued to fall
off. however. many Of these sales heads
began to believe that perhaps their
estimate Of the number of indispensa-
BILE vehicles had been placed too high.
Replacement Estimates.
There is a wide variance of opinion
as to Just what constitutes normal re-
placement volume, but there is general
agreement among the sales directors
that last years l,431 .000-plus produc-
tion was but part of the total num-
Der of vehicles that would be needed
for replacement in normal times. Re
placements in 1929 were placed by the
National Automobile Chamber of Com
merce at 2,772,838 This was the year
in which the industry manufactured
5,600,000 vehicles.
In 1881. the total production of the
industry, 2,l43 18l cars and trucks, was
absorbed by the replacement market.

Loans Floated in This Country

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 31-American
investors have an enormous stake in the
German situation. The total par value
of dollar loans fioated in this country
since the war was roughly $780,
OO0 oeo.
That amount has been reduced by
maturities, the operation of sinking
funds and rerurchasss by German ma
tionals and other European investors,
but the sum still outstanding is very
large, more than our interest in any
other foreign country except Canada.
The market value of these invest
ments, which does not take into account
short term credits frozen under the
Standstill agreement, has severely de-
preciated, involving heavy paper loss,
and yet even at these deprecated values
the capital involved is tremendous. The
short term credits run to around $780,
100000 according to the latest compi-
lation.

AUTO EXECUTIVES
| IN HOPEFUL MOOD
Last Years Output Is Be-
Iieved Low Mark of
Depression.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, March 31-While current
1ow-level production schedules show no
immediate pro. poets of a general up
ward trend, leaders of the motor car
industry apparently are in approximate
agreement that last years output Of
slightly more than 1,43l 900 units was
the low mark fer the movement that
began late in 1929.
The rdustry's executives are not
undertaking to pump up" business with
optimistic statements. but even in the
face of the banking emergency and
receivership actions for two important
producing companies pessimism has
been notable chiefly by its absence.
First Quarter Sales.
Sales and production during the first
quarter of the current year will net ap-
proximate what the motor car executives
hoped for, and even expected in many
cases, but to no small extent this has
been attributed to the financial strin-
gency. that tied up to varying degrees
the personal funds of potential pur-
chasers. The check on the relatively
small amount CT buying was felt not
only during the period when all banks
were closed, but even after many Of
them were reopened. Sales executives
explained this by saying that in many
quarters a hesitancy to buy followed
the easing of the banking situation.
Once more, however, automobile execu-
tives are beginning to consider the
potentialities Of an increasing rate of
depreciation and obsolescence. While
admitting that the seven and ore-half
years given as the average life of the
average car" is more CT less of a
theoretical figure arrived at through
the inclusion of factors other than me-
chanical exhaustion alone, many of
these executives believe the aggregate
number Of cars now in use rapidly is
approaching the point where there tan
be little or no further mortality without
replacement.
In this connection, Alfred P. Sloan,
1r., president of the General Motors
Corporation, probably voiced the convic-
tion of many of his fellow motor car
manufacturers, when he said in his an
nual report for 1882, just issued, that
it was reasonable ito expect with GER
tainty that when the period of re-
adjustment is over, the automotive in
duStry will not only maintain it's posi-
tion as the worlds most important in
dustry, but its rate of recovery will be
accelerated by the depreciation and
obsolescence of existing equipment

COMMODITY PRICES
LEVEL UP | POINT.
All Groups, Except Dairy and
Poultry Products, Show
Gains.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Advances in prices of all groups OF
agricultural commodities except dairy
and poultry products raised the index
of the general level of prices paid farm
ers / point during the month which
ended March Is.
The Bureau Of Agricultural Economics
reported that as a result farm prices
stood at exactly so per cent of the pre-
war levels in midMarch, but IL points
under March, 1882. The farmer. how
ever, gained some advantage in a drop
of point in the prices of materials he
buys which stood at 3.5 per cent over
pre-War levels en- March Is.
Advance in Grain.
Grain moved upwards points dur
ing the month preceding March Is to
36 per cent OF pre-war prices. Fruits
and vegetables advanced points to
go rer cent of pre-war Levels; meat
animals 8 points to sc per cent; dairy
products declined points to SO per
cent; chickens and eggs fell 3 points
to 50 per cent. while cotton and cotton
seed advanced 4 points to 48 per cent
of the five-year average from August,
1909, to July, 1914,
The average farm price of hogs ad-
Vanced about 10 per cent from February
Is to March IS, the quotations for the
last date Of 1922 per hundred weight,
being the highest local market price
record since last October, the bureau
said. The March Is hog price, how
ever, was still about II per cent under
year ago.
DEPLETION Of stocks of wheat in mill
ing centers during the bank and mar
ket holidays and reports of further
damage to the Winter wheat crop were
credited by the bureau with having
caused part of its advance in price. At
34.5 cents per bushel on March Is,
the farm price for wheat was about Z
per cent higher than month before
but remained % per cent less than II
months before.
Cotton Higher.
The average farm price for cotton
was 6.1 cents per pound in mid March,
compared with SIS cents in mid -Febru-
ary and 6.2 cents per pound year ago.
The bureau says this advance was &C
comparied by price upturn in foreign
markets and rep1rts of fairly satisfac-
tory sales of cotton goods in domestic
markets during the bank holiday.

Rated the strongest home team
in the majors and playing for
supremacy in their circuit. the
Yanks were expected to demon
state forcibly that 10 defeats in
81 games on the road were due
merely to pitching weakness while
travelling.
Washington was only half a
game ahead before the twin bill,
but the Yanks failed to come
through in this crisis-failed to
come through under the most ia
vorable conditions, when the larg-
est crowd of the major league sea-
son, 1885 home fans, was cheer
ing them on. Both games were
close: to in 10 innings, and 3

standing, which now shows the
Senators two and half game ahead.
New Workers lose
This big baseball day on which
1886 fans attended eight dou-
ble-headers throug IN out the
leagues, was the saddest Fourth of
July in years for New York fans
because each of the three metro
politan teams lost two games:
Yankees, Giants and Brooklyn
Dodgers.
Washington beat New York in
the opener when Heinie Manush
came home with the winning run
in the 10th on Joe Cronin's single.
The Senators won the night cap
after collecting eight hits off Van
Alta and Brennan, while Wally
Stewart limited the Yanks to five.
Babe Ruth drove out his 18th
homer in the ninth.
Philadelphia dropped two games
to Boston, IA to 4, when their own
eight errors allowed nine unearned
runs in the opener. They lost the
second o to /, when the Red Sox
pounded Earnshaw and Freitas for
Is hits.
Cleveland and Chicago divided
twin bill, the Indians winning
the opener, to 2, led by Joe Vos-
mik's four-hit attack. But the Chi
sox won the second game, 8 to g..
when they found Connally and
Bean for 10 hits.
Stone Hard Hitter
Detroit and st Louis likewise
split two games, the Tigers taking
the opener, Z to a, after Johnny
stone accounted for five runs with
a homer and two singles. Jack
Burns made q st Louis homer.
st Louis gained on the Giants
by sharing two games with Pitts
burg. The Cards took the first, 5

hit flinging. The Pirates took the
second, to 2.
Chicago and Cincinnati broke
even, the Cubs winning the opener,

DANCERS PRAISE

Paris - (UP) - American girls
are beautifully built and seem to
be born supple, but they are out
classed by European girls when
It comes to solo dancing, In the
opinion Of Tilly Losch, 25-year-old
premiere ballerina of the Vienna
Opera company.
II don't know why 1t is" she
said, "but life In Europe, with its
great sterss on individuality seems
better suited than the more me-
chanical civilization In America to
produce solo dancers.
II do not think, however, that
any girls In the world can COM
pete with American girls when It
comes to choral or ballet work.
Their system Of rhythm and
movement Is perfect. They are
beautifully built and their bodies
seem to be born with suppleness
In every move. but the Europeans
have 1t on them for solo work."
Miss Losch became dancer al
