HITLER ACTS TO CURB
"ATROCITY" STORIES
Statement Emphasizes Any Boy

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, March 23.-In short semi
oficial statement issued today, the Ger
man government threatened drastic
measures against foreign correspondents
guilty of spreading "atrocity reports"
The statement asked how, if an eco
nomic boycott "agitated by certain
American circles" were carried out, "is
the question of private debts to be
regulated properly?"
The warning was directed not only
against correspondents, but also against
their newspapers. It would take such
form as barring the papers from the
German mail.
The statement emphasized that any
boycott would affect the United States
more adversely than Germany.

SENATE MAY PROBE
CASE OF Hartman
Banking Committee Consid-
ers Justice Departments
Handling of Case.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The possibility developed today that
the Senate Banking Committee may
investigate the Justice Departments
handling Of the prosecution Of Joseph
w. Hartman, former president Of the
Hartman National Bank & Trust Co.,
charged with falsifying accounts.
Chairman Fletcher of the committee
said he had forwarded data on the
case to Ferdinand Pecora of New York,
committee counsel, and that Pecora un-
doubtedly would look into it in connec-
ton with his other investigations Of
stock market and banking transactions.
Several Senators, including Connally,
Democrat, Of Texas, criticized the JUS
tice Departments alleged failure to
prosecute Hartman promptly.
The criticisms resulted from a state
ment by Federal Attorney George z.
Medalie In New York that he delayed
the prosecution for three months on
orders from the department.
Connally asserted to newspaper men
the department was almost guilty of
criminal negligence"
Fletcher said he had not instructed
Pecora to look into the Hartman case,
but "he Is on the ground and will have
an opportunity to look into it If he
deems it necessary"
1T depends on developments whether
the Banking Committee will go into the
matter" he added. II don't know what
there Is to it. Undoubtedly the counsel
will give some attention to it.
Il haven't ordered him to do it, but
I've sent him some data. Some other
investigation may lead into it. It
seems an extraordinary thing for the
department to order q delay in the
prosecution, but there may be some
reason for it that don't know about" "

BERLIN, March 23.-Chancellor
Adolf Hitler, shouting above the
cheers of his Nazi deputies, de-
manded four years of dictatorial
power from the Reichstag today.
He relegated the issue of the
monarchy to the background,
lifted the destruction of Com
munism to the fore of his pro-
gram, reiterated the familiar Nazi
thesis of arms equality for all and
promised campaign of "barbaric
severity" against all traitors.
Wave after wave of applause
and cheers drowned his voice from
time to time. The Nazis, who
control the house, especially ap-
proved his dictum that, once ad-
journed, the Reichstag would be
recalled only from time to time
"to be informed by the govern
ment of its acts when the assent
of the Reichstag is desirable"
Tumultuous Applause.
The first big cheer came when he ex-
pressed his approval of public decapi-
tation" of the men who set fire to the
Reichstag building just before the last
election. There was tumultuouS ap-
plause also at his announcement of q
campaign Of ".barbaric severity against
all guilty of treason"
mo gigantic revolution of similar
dimensions ever has been carried out
with such unvarying discipline and so
little bloodshed as our revolution" he
cried. And the NaZis cheered again.
He condemned as 'an unexampled
crime" the 1918 revolution, which gave
birth to the German republic, now vir-
tually destroyed to make way for the
new regime.
The visitors galleries were packed
Outside in the streets, for blocks around
the Kroll Opera House, temporary
meeting place of the Parliament, SOL
diers and police were on guard. Every
one who entered the meeting hau was
searched for weapons.
Relief Work Stressed.
Restoration of the monarchy is at
present not to be discussed so long as
conditions prevail which necessitate the
national government focusing its atten-
ton solely upon saving the German peo-
pie, especially millions of workers, from
indescribable misery" said the chan
Cellor.
He declared that Germany is by no
means unfriendly to international
trade, but that such restrictive meas
ures as have been taken were necessi-
tated by the fact that for years Ger
many made payments abroad without
anything in return.
The world can recover economically
only if 1t is relieved of reparations and

cations" he said. THE debts must be

RELIEF PROJECTED

Big Centers to Be Drained
of Idle, Says Dern-Miss
Perkins Defends Camps.
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
Aid to the jobless in congested In
dustrial cities was described today as
the aim Of President Roosevelt's re-
forestation program.
While Miss Frances Perkins was tell
ing joint session of the House and
Senate Labor Committees of the pur-
poses of the measure before them. Sec
retary Dern related that plans were
under way for recruiting the jobless In
industrial cities into civilian conser-
vation corps.
Miss Perkins, in her first appearance
as Secretary of Labor before o Con-
gressional Committee, entered into q
give and take cross examination by
committee members and defended the
program from the charge that 1t would
tend to reduce the wage standard for
unskilled labor.
She called it a relief plan and not an
employment program, and said en-
ployers had realized the purchasing
power Of wage earners must be sustained
II business was to prosper.
Under Three Departments
Under the plans being formulated for
putting the plan into action after 1t is
enacted, Dern said the Labor Depart
ment would enroll unemployed volun-
teers, the War Department would or
ganize them into units and the Agricul-
ture Department would conduct the
camps and supervise the work.
The War Secretary, in a press confer
ence. explained that industrial cities
would be drained Of jobless men by en-
hstmentS into the civilian conservation
corps.
The concentration camps, Dern ex-
planned. probably would be organized
at Army posts. While, many details
were yet to be worked out, he said the
tentative plans provided for Army OH
GERS to form the respective units into
self-governing bodies with their own
police, cooks, BARRIERS and other camp
workers.
Physical Exams Required.
A certain percentage Of the appli-
cants will include boys from 10 to 81
years Of age. All the boys as we'll as
the men will pass physical examina-
ton and only those capable Of doing q
days work will be acceptable.
The men will be paid 81 q day and
furnished board, lodging and clothing.
Whether they will be quartered in
temporary buildings near the forest re-
serves or in tents has not yet been
decided. They will not wear Army
uniforms, but probably will be provided
with overallS and other civilian gar
mentS.
Miss Perkins appeared after r. Y.
Stuart, chief of the Forestry Service,
had asked the committee to amend the
bill to allow the use on private lands Of

would be created by the bill. At present
its use would be restricted to publicly
