KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Mar. "a.
(UP).-Mistaken identity caused
a gun battle between a deputy
sheriff and his brother against
two federal prohibition agents
late yesterday, resulting in death
to a federal officer and critical
injury to the deputy.
Tom Sizemore, of Rogersville,
Tenn, prohibition agent, was
killed instantly. Deputy Sheriff
Tom Atchley of Knox county was
shot through his right eye and
probably fatally wounded.
L. L. Howe, the other prohibit
ton agent, received three bullets
through his clothes, one of them
striking keyes and lodging in his
pocket. but escaped injury. Mack
Atchley. brother of the seriously
wounded deputy, was shot in the
shoulder and in the jaw.
Both Howe and Mack Atchley,
members of opposing sides in the
strange warfare, insisted that
each party was ignorant that the
other was composed of officers.
The shooting occurred thirteen
miles from here, beside a broken
down liquor car which the federal
men had captured. Sizemore and

PETITION TO TAKE JETTIES
FROM FRENCH BROAD RIVER
SENT TO SENATOR REYNOLDS
Leading Residents of Henderson and Pennsylvania
Counties Join in Request to Reduce
Flood Menace

DR.. w. W. Carpenter Of Hen
today forwarded to
Senator r. R. Reynolds petit
ton signed by about 200 citizens
and land owners in Henderson
vile, Brevard and Henderson and
Pennsylvania counties asking that
the federal government remove
the jetties from the French
Broad river which almost an
nually result in a flood menace.
The ictties were placed in the
river by the federal government
in an effort to make the river
commercially navigable, but it
failed in this purpose and now
it is felt that the damage should
be undone insofar as possible
and the land along the river
made safe from high waters.
G. d. White. instructor Of ag-
in the Mills River seq

project. In addition to the
names Of about 200 individuals,
the petition is signed by county
commissioners, chambers of com,
merce, women's clubs, Rotary
and Kiwanis clubs, county farm
agent and others.
The petition points out that
removal of the jetties now would
not only enhance land values
but would give employment to
hundreds of men, and asks that

ADOLF HITLER
RISES TO FULL
DICTATORSHIP
Reichstag Votes Self Out
of Existence in Effect,
Takes Adjournment
AMICABLE FOREIGN
VIEWS ARE SURPRISE

BERLIN, March 24.-iUP).-
Adolf Hitler. dapper little cor
poral in the imperial German
army during the World war, be-
came absolute dictator of Ger
many last night.
In tumultuous session, both
houses Of the Rcichstag by over
whelming votes granted the Fas-
cist chancellor sweeping dicta
torial powers which place him
even above the constitution of
the republic itself.
They adopted his all-powcrful
enabling act, stripping the reich
stag of all semblance Of author
| ity, AL to 81. The federal
council, Or upper house, a mo-
ment later unanimously approx
ed the act-and Hitler, in the
brown shirt uniform of his Nazi
party, had scared to the peak of
his power in the reich.
The reichstag, having in effect
voted itself out of existence, ad-
iourned Indefinitely. There was
no indication when, if ever, Hitler
would call it into session again
during the four years which it
granted him the right to rule by
decree, in cooperation with the
cabinet. The enabling act ex-
pires in 1887. or sooner if the
Hitler government falls.
The swift action came during
dramatic night session of the
reichstag after a day in which
Ithe chancellor outlined the do
nestle and foreign policies of his
regime. The sharpness Of his
policy at home-where he ruth
lessly proclaimed his intentions
to suppress all opposition-con-
trasted with the conciliatory ma
ture of his foreign stand.
Hitler surprised his enemies
when he emphasized in his dec
laration Of policy at the after
noon session that it was his in
tention to reach an amicable I'M
derstanding with all powers. He
expressly named France and de-
clared: "An agreement is posi-
BILE if both governments act res
olutely."
He alluded indirectly to revi-
sion of the treaties demanding
cessation of the distinction be-
tween victors and vanquished.
Contrary to announcements by
other Fascist leaders, however,
Hitler failed explicitly to advo-
cate an "anschluss," or combine,
with Austria, but did stress his
! Heartfelt sympathy with Aus
trials fate"

D. L. McCafferty, federal feed

nounced today that the govern
ment has decided to pay for the
recording of crop mortgages, add
ing that this means a saving of a
considerable fee for the farmer
which sometimes amounts to more
than the interest on his loan.
1t was announced at the same
time that the attention of borrow
ers was called to the fact that
under the federal statute which IS
governing the loans this year,
these loans become a trust fund
and must not be used for any
other purpose than that stated in
the application.

Sequel TO Japanese Move

LEAGUE FEELS TIE
SITUATION DELICATE
BY STEWART BROWN
United Press Staff Correspondent

GENEVA. March 24.--(UP)--.
A crisis involving the United
States and possibly Germany wa;
feared in League Of Nations quar-.
tcrs yesterday as result OF Jagan's
intention to retain her inundated
islands in the Pacific.
Dispatches from Toxic and Ber-
lin indicating that Japan and Ger
many both will seek to establish
claims to the 1900 islands und.r
dispute caused rising anxiety in
league circles that another con-
troversy would arise which might
necesSitatc more delicate handling
than the Chinesc-J2panese quar-
rel over Manchuria.
Japan is moving toward formal
annexation Of the former German
islands. dispatches from Toxic re-
lated. The ministry of the navy
was reported to have circulated a
pamphlet, expressing the ''indom-
liable Will of the empire against
surrendering the former German
possessions.
The United Press understood,
however. that Washington already
has informed the league that the
United States would be highly
concerned if Japan, on quitting
the league, attempts 10 retain the
islands. Legal experts, Washing
ton is understood to have con-
tended. agree that title to all for
mer German possessions abroad
still rests with the allied powers,
with the league merely acting III
the role of trustee.
The United States further fears
the Japanese intend to fortify
these islands. lying between Ha-
wall and the Philippines--a move
which Japan so far has denied.
A conference of the allied pow.
ers was considered one possibility
if Japan. IS expected, formally
announces her intention to retain
the inundated islands when she
officially quits the league. She has
withdrawn her delegation. and IS
! expected to quit during the two
wear prescribed period.
At Berlin, the United Press re-
ported observers expected Ger
many to assert her old claim to
the Pacific islands when the
league council and the leagues
mandate committee discuss the
question.
However, according to sources
close to the German government,
Germany is disinclined to ask the
league to act. preferring that the
league take the initiative. The
German attitude is that the next
move, afer Japan comes into the
open, will be up to the league, no.

BERLIN, March 24.-(UP).-
Herman Wilhelm Goering, speak
err of the Reichstag, yesterday ac-
cused the Socialists of spreading
false reports abroad about alleged
terrorist acts by the Nazi party.
He denied implications that he,
as head of the police. had been
guilty of setting fire to the Reich
stag building earlier in the month.
"Anyone in possession Of his
five senses reading these reports"
said .Goering, unjust ask himself
in surprise how it is possible for
people to believe that dozens OF
corpses are being found daily in
the rivers around Berlin; that [
set fire to the Reichstag; or that
we cut off peoples ears"
81 am willing to permit any
foreign committee to see those
who have been reported dead, still
enjoying the best of health. They
can inspect the prisons and ask
Torgler and Thaelmann if any
thing happened to them"
Ernst Torgler and Ernst Thael-
mann are Communist leaders. Re-
ports were circulated that Torg-
ler's ears had been cut off.
Chancellor Adolf Hitler, in his
address to the Reichstag yester-
day, referred to these stories, and
declared:
eve shall leave nothing undone
to assure a public hanging for the
perpetrators and their accom-
plices in the Reichstag fire"
Meanwhile, outside the Reich
stag session. a stir was caused
among the packed thousands by
the arrest of Karl Severing, So
cialist deputy and until recently
Prussian minister Of interior IN
charge of the police. He was
taken into custody while entering
the Reichstag.
The Nazis charged him with
misuse of funds. Severing was re-
leased after being examined by
notice.
