RIOT
IN GERMANY
BY CLIFFORD L. DAY
United Press Staff Correspondent.

BERLIN, March %. Serious
rioting in the city of Brunswick
and scattered acts of retaliation
against Jews today intensified the
German political situation.
Nazi party headquarters declared
the boycotting Of Jewish shops and
other repressive measures reported
from Schwerin and Gleiwitz in up
per Silesia were sporadic and local,
not a part of the party's general
campaign.
The opening of the campaign, it
was announced, has been held up
until it is seen whether the an
nounced determination to retaliate
is sufficient to quiet the "atrocity
campaign abroad.
The rioting in Brunswick was
caused when Nazis raided the head
quarters of the Steel Helmets war
veterans organization, charging
"counter-reyolutionary" activity.
Police and Nazis surrounded 200
Steel Helmeters and 1850 other per-
sons in the public health building.
Crowds gathered all night long out
side the Gordon. occasionally clash
ing with the Nazis when the latter
tried to drive them away. About 20
were taken to hospitals, most OF
them injured about the head. One
was shot.
The government announced that
the ban on the Social-Democratic
press IN Germany, expiring today,
had been extended indefinitely.

UNAVOIDABLE

Unavoidable accident" was the
verdict of a coroner's jury given
yesterday at Brawley in an inquest
into the deaths of William l..
Fraser and David Odette, victims Of
an accident on the Los Angees high
way north of Westmorland last
Tuesday.
Fraser was burned to death in

The latter couple escaped with only
superficial injuries.
Inquest into the death of John
D. Anderson, who was crushed to
death in AN accident near Oasis on
Friday morning, was delayed yes
terday until Thursday, due to the
inability of Coroner Underwood to
contact witnesses of the crash.

mother of Anderson, arrived in the
valley Sunday and at her request
that she be permitted TO return
home without delay, Coroner Under-
wood gave permission for Anderson's

HOLLYWOOD, March %. U.P)-
DR.. Grace w. Cunningham, 48, was
abducted by three bandits who left
her bound and gagged in her own
sedan after they robbed her of
cash and jewels, she told police to-
day.
The woman physician, suffering
from the effects of chloroform and
from having been bound and gag
ged since midnight, was found in
her car on Hollywood boulevard this

She estimated the value of the
jewels and the cash at total of
$3.50.
The spot where DR.. Cunningham

Miss Compson recently was the vic
tim of holdup men.
DR.. Cunningham said she was
just putting her car in her gar
age as she returned from lodge
meeting when the three accosted
her.
First, she said, they gagged her
with a cloth saturated in chloro-
form taken from her own medical
kit, which was in the rear of her
machine.
Her hands and feet were then
bound and she was tossed into the
rear seat. She lost consciousness
then, she reported, not regaining

More Banks To

Banks of the country which are
aembers of rhe federal reserve
system but which are IN the hands
of conservators or state authori-
ties we're granted permission to-
day by Secretary of Treasury
Woodin to resume business on a
limited basis.
The order Of the treasury de-
partment was interpreted as giving
state and federal authorities wide
discretionary powers in permitting
currently closed banks to resume
business on a partial withdrawal
basis.
State or federal authorities under
this ruling could. on their own
Initiative permit many banks to re-
open on n restricted basis if in such
cases a 100 per cent reopening
would not be possible.

AWAIT REPORT
UPON QUAKE
Jury Conducting Inquest Into
Resulting Deaths Expected To
Make Recommendations.

LOS ANGELES March 28 U.P)-
Expected official Findings of eX-
parts who composed a coroner's
fury investigating deaths attributed
10 the March 10 earthquake were
delayed today by disagreement
over recommendations.
One group of the jury was
known to have demanded that the
verdict declare tor abandonment
&C schools on known faults.
Other jurors took the stand
that adequate building specifiea-
tons would assure d1fety wherever
the schools were located.
LOS ANGELES, March 26. UP
A board of building experts to sup
ervise construction of all city and
county schools was the principal
recommendation contained in the
findings of the coroner's- jury in
ouiring into earthquake deaths, it
was learned today as the jurors
prepared to submit their verdict to
Coroner Frank Nance.
The verdict. it was learned, will
state in its conclusions that no per-
son or persons were criminally re-
sponsible for the deaths of 81 peo-
pie killed outright in the quake
OF March 10.
In the interests of future safe
". efficiency and economy, forma-
ton of the school construction
board will be recommended, it was
said.
Adoption of a uniform building
code as a legal code which would
cover construction and repair of all
buildings in the county also Is
among the jurys recommendations
it was understood. Sources close
to the jury said elimination of lime
mortar in the construction Of build
ings also was advanced.
The Jurors will recommend that
in the interests of future safety
qualified construction engineer
or registered architect be employ
ed to supervise construction of all
buildings more than two stories in
height.
The verdict is classified into sep
arate parts, one dealing with
short history of the shock, another
with the consequences, third de-
voted to recommendations for fu-
ture safety, and finally a conclus-
ion which strongly emphasized the
need for immediate action.
The two victims over which the
inquest was held-Walter De BuX-
ton, 16, killed by falling bricks at
Excelsior Union high school in Nor
walk, and Tony Guglielmo, Is,
crushed by a falling brick wall at
Woodrow Wilson high school, Long
Beach-came to their deaths by
skull fractures and other injuries
caused by being struck by falling
materials from buildings damaged
by the quake, the jury will report
The jurors also will state that
other earthquake victims died OF
injuries received in similar man
ner and from the same cause, and
that they cannot, from the evi-
dence heard, find the deaths were
caused other than accidentally.

COURT RULING
On DRY law

LOS ANGELES. March %. 0.P)-
Municipal liquor ordinances, enact
ed while the Wright act was in
force, and prohibiting the same acts
as prohibited by that measure be-
fore it was repealed, are invalid,
according to decision of the ap-
pellate division of the superior
court.
The decision was handed down
by judges Victor R. McLucas. Ed
ward T. Bishop and w. Turney Fox
in connection with a demurrer to
a writ of prohibition filed by Ray
Golish, Huntingdon Park, seeking to
halt his prosecution on charge
of transportation and possession of
liquor, in violation Of that city's or
dinance.
The judges differentiated between
the Huntington Park ordinance and
the Los Angeles Gambler law, point
ing out that the latter measure was
adopted prior to enactment Of the
Wright act. was suspended while the
Wright act was in force, and be-
came operative automatically when
the latter law was repealed.
Huntington Park officials were
given 10 days in which to file an
answer. Failing to do this, the
court said, the percmptory prohibi-
ton writ will be issued.
LOS ANGELES, March %. W.P)--
Enforcement of liquor laws in Los
Angeles city and county became a
tumble today in the face of conflict
ing opinions and announcements
from many sources.
So far as Inlncorporated sections
Of the county were concerned, the
situation was clarified by action of
the board of supervisors in voting
TO repeal the little Volstead act. 4"
Bat in the city, conditions became
more muddled with the final indi-
cation that 80 per cent beer will
rot be sold in the city inside of 30
days.
The police commission started
the debate by announcing that the
ordinance fixing fees under the
Gambler ordinance was long since
repealed, and that no permits to
sell beer would be issued until a
new fee-fiXing law was enacted by
city council.
Under ordinary conditions, 1t
would require 30 days Tor such an
ordinance to become effective. 1t
was doubtful if sufficient votes
could be mustered to pass it as an
emergency measure. Five council
men already have voiced opposition
to repeal Of the measure.
Moves also were under way in
Santa Monica to force a referen-
dun on repeal of that city's little
Wright act
