PARTY ACTION
Emphasis Laid on Claim
Government Not lnvolv-
ed in Scheme

BERLIN. March 31.-(UP).-
Twenty-four hours before their
scheduled nationwide boycott or
Jewish industry and commerce,
Nazi Storm Troopers were mobl!-
lied today for mass action IN
every city in Germany. 1t was
emphasized that the action was
not a governmental but party ac-
tivity. Thousands of civilian
party members were summoned
to duty" i.
Orders say would-be patrons or
Jewish shops are not to be nm
dered entering any stores but
pickets shall appeal to them to
"buv German. .
SNAPSHOTS are to be taken OF
those violating the boycott and
published. Small towns and for
eign stores. by new orders, are to
be eliminated from the plcketlng.
Instructions were sent to the
local committees to observe race
and not religion. Hence, 1t was
asserted, baptized Jews must be
boycotted. The Nazi attitude to-
ward firms where Jews merely
have financial interests will be
regulated more specifically.
Foreign-Owned chain stores,
such as the Woolworths, will not
be boycOtted.
The pickets were Instructed TO
carry black posters with yellow
stripes and yellow lettering, an
nouncing that a given shop is run
by Jews, and warning the public
against buying from it. The pick
cts, however. were forbidden 20
use violence to dismiss employees,
even though their trade drops.
The new boycott committee was
instructed to participate in Il
huge nationwide demonstration
in every city and town in the
country today, on the eve of the
formal start of the retailatory
boycott measures, designed to
halt atrocity protests abroad.

The senate yesterday passed bill

The march of misery and hunger

If the house approves the meas
ure. the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation soon will begin pour
ing a golden stream of dollars
into the gaping pit of the depres-

outright gift that will attempt to
erect barrier of dollars between
unemployed Americans and desti-
tuition.
Thirty minutes before the bill
was driven through the senate, So
to II, the cry of "dole" was
raised. and Senator Fess, Repn.,
Ohio, opposed the measure by
pleading with his colleagues mot
to let their hearts overcome then

The bill empowers the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation to
borrow $500,000,000 which, in
turn, will be dealt out to the vari-
Gus states. There are two ways in
which a state may get this money.
Surprising. for instance, Ohio has
spent $3,000,000 of its own money
on unemployment relief. 1t then
is eligible to receive from the
federal government one-third OF
that sum-or $1,000,000.
In addition. if Ohio can estab-
lish that all its money for unem-
ployment relief is exhausted it be-
comes eligible for an additional
gift-the size of which shall be
determined by the a administrator
appointed by the president.

Espionage has been added to
charges Of sabotage against Brit

following an inquiry into their
company, Metropolitan Vickers,
Ltd, British electrical concern,
it was revealed last night.
In an official cOmmunique, the
Soviet authorities announced the
trial, which has aroused interna-
tional concern, would open April
9 or 10.
The announcement came stimuli
tanously with the departure OF
the British ambassador, Sir Es-
mond Ovey, called to London TO
report on the case, which has as
sumed more serious propositions
than anticipated.
In political circles, doubt was
expressed that Sir EsmOnd would
return to his post here.
The communique indicated that
the authorities had completed
their investigation into the Met
ropolitan Vickers organization
aoj- The activities Of the British
representatives; and that an in
dictment will be forthcoming
shortly. ,
The indictment. the United
Press was informed, would be
under the criminal code. Shoot
ing is provided rs the maximum
penalty for foreigners as well as
Russians. under this code.
The document last night men
tons Macdonald Gregory land
others" Therefore, it was pos
sible some of the other men IN
volved might not be included in
the general indictment.
The Britons will be tried in a
court presided over by Judge
Ulrich, with Chief Prosecutor
Andrew Vishinsky prosecuting
the case for the state.
Judge Ulrich will have as his
associated judges Professor Mar
tens, director of the DleSel lnStl.
tute and Director Dmitrieff of
one of the most important pow
CT trusts, with President Helikott,
of the electrical engineers trade
unions as an alternate judge.
The trial apparently will be
conducted in the court house,
with no effort at a huge demon
stration or show as in other Rus
sian Sabotage trials at which mo-
ton pictures were taken and the
entire proceedings broadcast to
the nation.
Practically the entire diplo-
matte corps, Allan Monkhouse,
chief of the Metropolitan-Vick-

spondents were at the railway
station at 10:l5 p. m. to bid the
British ambassador farewell. The

RALEIGH, March 81. - The
senate passed the amended Fran
els bill to legalize 3.2 per cent
beer in North Carolina by May
l, last night on second reading,
voting the measure by "a TO II.
This action followed one ilnme-
diately preceding in which the
upper house defeated an amend
ment to provide for a referen~
dunn, the vote on this being o.
II.
In addition to the changed date
for the legaization Of beer.
amendments included the strik-
ing out Of that part Of the bill
which requires that the revenue
from a proposed North Carolina
beer tax should go to the school
fund; the repeal of the law
which provides for the adver-
tisement Of beer while a fourth
amendment would allow cities to
license beer handling places out
side city limits.
If the senate passes the bill on
third reading today as it is eX-
pected to do, it will then go to
the house where it will likely be
sent to committee, and, in the
event that it is favorably re-
ported, passage on three separate
days would be required for it to
become law, in view of the clause
lit contains, levying q tax.
