Interest in the trial continued on

the much-touted public" trial has
been arranged to provide accommo-

Arthur Garfield Hays, American
attorney who had been barred from

was spectator in court today for
the first time. Hays was member

directly accused the Nazis of being
responsible for the crime.
Van der Lubbe Plays Role
The trial thus far has shown that
Van der Lubbe is playing a role for
the benefit of the prosecution and
the Fascist government of Germany,
and is continuing the services he
first rendered when he acted on or
derS of the storm troopers who staged
the fire In the Reichstag building

justify the violent suppression of the
Communist Party of Germany.
Van der Lubbes testimony indi-
Gates that he obviously expects the
Nazis to keep the promise made him
long ago If he plays his role to the
end. That he is incredibly stupid and
in all likelihood an imbecile does not
invalidate the suspicion that he Is
acting a theatrical role In the trial

Yesterday, on various occasions,
Van der Lubbe laughed frequently

Record War
Expenditure
Cuts Relief
Govt Relief Program
Now Worse Than
Under Hoover
By MILTON HOWARD.

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-
Since Roosevelt took office six
months ago, he has authorized
the expenditure of about one
billion dollars for the financing
of the greatest war program in the
history of the country.
The Roosevelt program for the
millions of jobless workers has turned
out to be more harsh and cruel for
the workers, more tenderly solicitous
of the capitalists than the Hoover
program.
Since Roosevelt took Office in
March, the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation has granted only $751;
100000 for the relief of the unem-
ployed. And of this not all has been
spent.
But during this time, Roosevelts
chosen head of the R. F. c. author
lied loans to banks, railroad COM
panies, trust companies, etc., of $780,
100000.
The Hoover ratio of r. F. G. loans
was $40 for the banks and railroads
to every 81 for relief.
In his generosity to the bankers
ETC., Roosevelt has gone Hoover one
better. He has now changed the r..
F. c. grants to S11 for the bankers to
every 81 for relief.
Billion for Army Navy.
While he has been turning deaf
ear to the needs of the jobless on the
grounds that relief is made impos-
sible by the necessity of balancing
the budget, Roosevelt has been
pouring a colossal fortune into prep
arations for war.
He has authorized 100000, 900 for
the Army and Navy as part of the
regular budget.
In addition, from the $4,000, 900 900
Public Works Fund, originally prom
ised for schools, roads, hospitals,
Roosevelt has already authorized
$3.50, 100000 for the largest Naval
construction program in history.
He has authorized an additional
S19,00o,o0o to the Navy for bombing
planes.
He has gn sed s54,oOo,oOo to the
Army for meSGAine gun ranges mod
ern equipment for Army posts and
barracks.

Secretary Dern and Director
of Budget Douglas Have
Conference on Plans.
SAVINGS OF $90,OOO,000
NEXT YEAR PROJECTED
Elimination of C. NJ. T. c. Is One
of Reductions Planned-National
Guard Also Would Suffer.

President Roosevelt late this after
noon will hold an important conference
with Secretary of War Dern and Louis
Douglas, director Of the budget, during
which time it is understood plans for
drastic reduction in the War Depart
ment's expense will be discussed.
It is known from well-founded
sources the War Department head and
the budget director have already worked
out plan which will bring about cut
in Army costs Of about s90,000,000 for
uext year. All this is IN line with the
Presidents program of reducing ex-
penses 25 per cent in order to balance
the budget and to get the operating
cost of the Federal Government down
to a normal basis. The conference this
afternoon is one Of series which the
President has been holding with the
heads in rounding out his
program for reorganization and for
econcmizing. In each instance the
pruning knife Is known to have been
used and according to reports
from substantial circles the President
will succeed in making good his cam
paign promise Of trimming Govern
ment costs Is per cent. AS q matter
of fact he will in all probability sue
ceed in going beyond the Is per cent
limit. There is some likelihood that his
reduction may run as high as 81 per
cent.
Secretary Dern and Budget Director
Douglas are understood to have worked
out a plan of curtailment for the War
which will effect a s90,000,-
900 saving, principally by eliminating
for one year citizens military training
camps, reduction Of National Guard
drill periods by SO per cent and by
dispensing with field training; dis
pensing with reserve officer training
camps; elimination and consolidation
of posts and stations, amounting to
about a so per cent reduction, with
drawal of all support from the R. o.
T. c.; retirement of about 1000 Army
officers by means Of qualification tests
and according to age limit require
ments. The plan calls for wedding out
all non-essential activities among the
civilian personnel and substantial re-
ductions in field equipment and reserve
supplies.

RETIREMENT FACES
GROUP, OF POLICE
Board Finds Fitness of "Sub-
stantiaI Proportion" of
96 Men Falls Short.

A "substantiar' proportion of the
96 policemen who were given medical
and physical examinations by the
Board Of Police and Fire Surgeons
failed to measure up to requirements
and will be recommended for retire.
ment by the board it was learned to-
day. The board will turn over its Off
cial report to Maj Ernest w. Brown,
superintendent Of police, tomorrow or
Wednesday.
The Police Department during the
next fiscal year will be compelled to
absorb the salaries of Al policemen to
meet budget cuts made by the House
and expected to be approved by the
Senate in the 1884 appropriation bill.
The physical test was ordered by Mai
Brown, the first to be held in two years,
in order to eliminate those officers past
SIS years Of age who may be retired
by the Commissioners as incapacitated
for further duties.
It is not believed the number to be
recommended for retirement will be as
great as At, and the department must
find some other means Of making up
the balance. No vacancies are being
filled between now and the close of the
fiscal year, although several already
exist.
One Of the schemes now being con-
sidered by the department is to trans
fer to the regular salary item the $1,000
now used for the payment of extra
compensation to officers responsible for
outstanding police work They are now
paid SIS per month extra compensation
for such work
Maj. Brown said today that there
was some doubt whether such a step
would be legal, and that he would sub
init 1t to the corporation counsel's Of
flee for legal opinion before attempt
ing to put it into effect.
