Congress Asked To Protest
Against Persecution OF Jews
In Germany.

WASHINGTON, March o. U.Pj
American diplomats in Germany
today were working on the biggest
reportorial assignment ever given
them-a complete report" on the
mistreatment of Jews by Chan
cellor Adolf Hitler's "Nazis."
Secretary of State Hull ordered
the report after three Jewish lead
ers pleaded with the American gov
ernment to look into the plight of
their race under Germany's new
dictator.
The inquiry will cover the treat
ment of all Jews under the Hitler
regime, German nationals as well
as Americans.
State department officials were
uncertain, however, as to what ac-
ton the United States might take
if the report showed widespread
persecution of Jews in Germany.
The government can-and has
protested mistreatment of Ameri-
can Jews in Germany. Ambassador
Frederick M. Sackett recently was
assured by the German foreign Of
flee that Americans would not be
molested.
WASHINGTON, March %. W.P)-
A state department protest to the
Hitler government against anti
semitic outbreaks in Germany was
asked in a resolution presented in
the mouse today by Representative
Celler (Dem.) New York.
Celler's resolution was based or
protests made by leading Jewish
organizations and cited previous
instances where similar protests
have been made by the United
States.
Secretary of State Hull, mean
while, has ordered American diplo-
mats in Germany to prepare a
complete" report on the mistreat-
ment of Jews by the "Nazis."
The Celler resolution charged
that the outbreaks were denial
of the fundamental rights of ev-
cry human being" and "hark back
to an age Of barbarism."
STRASBOURG, Alsace, March

Germany, reported today that Otto
Lenz, Jewish storekeeper, had
been martyrized by squad of Ma
zis vino tortured him to death.
Lenz, who fought in the Ger
man imperial army in the World
war, was said to have brothers in
Arkansas.
The reports said the Nazis in
vaded his home at Strauping, Low
er Bavaria, on Wednesday, took
him out of town by automobile
tortured him, smashed his teeth
with blackjacks and riddled him
with shots. He leaves a wife and

1t was rather surprise in this

of snow on the ground Wednesday
morning. Many of the roads were
just getting dry, but this will give
them an extra soaking.

was also the desire of the meeting
that the council should grant licenses

also deemed it desirable for the viii

THE NATIONAL
GOVERNMENT
BY Cong. JOHN PAUL KvALE

April I, 1933-Minnesota citizens
may we'll consider the far-remOved
and therefore apparently inconsequen-
tial decision of federal judge in
Virginia who has just handed down
momentous ruling insofar as 1t al
fects administration of the Federal
Power Act. For Minnesota, motor
iously backward i'm utility control ma
chinery and law, must depend upon
federal assistance until such time as
it can enact adequate law under
leadership of Governor Olson and
such aides i'm the Legislature as Rep.
Stockwell of Minneapolis, and others.
Apparently technical in its nature,
the decision merely holds that the
Appalachian Power company cannot
plead that it is not affected by exist
ing law because its application for
power development on the New river
is on non-navigable stream. The
Judges decision will of course be ap-
pealed. If it is upheld by the higher
courts, it materially extends the jur-
isdictiOn of the Federal Power com
mission. for it gives new legal deh-
milton to the term ''navi%able," and
permits the commission to exercise
ment after certain period and under
certain conditions, to supervise the
cost of developing the site, and to
regulate both the rates it charges
and the kind and amount of secur-
tiles it issues.
the record, with the Presidents blue
sky legislation already begun on its
pathway to enactment, and with eX-
pansion of regulation of power and
communications regulat' ry bodies also
slated for realization i'm the near flu
ture, liberals forsee the end of the
terrifying frauds such as the insult
swindle and others, and in addition
| feel that a new era is dawning as far
as the power trust is concerned. The
test will soon come, for at least two,
and maybe three, appointments are to
er commission and confirmed by the
Senate.
| One man prominently mentioned is
Huston Thompson, former Federal
Trade Commissioner, lifelong cour-
ageOus progressive, and the man who
represented the government in the
suit referred to, and who bested New
ton ID. Baker, power trust attorney,
who nearly blocked ROosevelt's NOM
ination i'm last years convention.
For month and more, plans for
power conference of leading liberals
in and out of Congress who have fol-
lowed the entire power controversy in
recent years have been held in abey-

picked on the basis of playing done
in the tournament. Good sportsman

the new body under the Presidents
emergency call spoiled that.
This action, coupled with the court
decision described above, the expected
sympathetic executive appointments,
and the trend toward hating illegal
and improper financial manipulations,
may cancel these plans. At any rate.
one of the focal points of interest
will be the Muscle Shoals bill which
is part of the Presidents Announces
program 1t will be final and des-
perate rallying point for the power
interests, and its outcome will mean
not only dollars and cents in actual
saving for every family and every in
dustry which pays an electric light
or power bill, but will mark the abil-
ity of the new administration to bring
to book the scoundrels who have pre-
cipitated-to a large degree at least
the present intolerable economic con-
ditiOn.
Regarding the latter, plans are
going forward in the Senate for a
thorough investigation of the House
of Morgan and other great banking
and investment firms, and it is ex-
pected that testimony will be re-
corded which will mark an all-time
high in sensations. That is part of
the studied scheme to capitalize OH
the present resentment against some
Of these business practices, and TO
set up a permanent and an effective
curb on their recurrence in the flu
ture.

news if present indications are veri-
fed by subsequent events. The Sem
ate may, as suggested last week. in
corporate the cOst-Of-production plan-
il likely will add the mortgage re-
financing measure which has beers
under consideration and in Formations

no time in approving such action
despite the fact it is definitely slow
ing up its legislative pace.
Morgenthau, placed at the head OF
the combined farm credit agencies,
faces an herculean task. He has
taken official Washington by storm.
At first it was popular i'm some circles
to refer to him in a deprecating way
as the New York Jew" who was sup
posed to be the administration farm
doctor. That is ended One after the
other, he has conferred with SUSPECT
Gus, with hostile. with cold. with APP
prehensive farm leaders and spokes-
men, and without exception he has
sent them away hopeful. encoura ged,
heartened, and convinced that the
new administration does actually have
some real perception of farm prob
lens and an equally actual desire to
meet them. And prominent i'm the fore
ground is the one of farm mortga ges,
both as to principal and interest.
Time grows perilously short. how
ever, if the act is to be administered
as to this years crops. 1t will be
necessary to get the bill through Con-
gress and approved by the President
within the week in order for the ad-
ministrative offices to set up their
field organization and county ma
chinery to secure the benefits to 1888
producers.
