I BERLIN, July IL QN.S).-A
special tribunal to deal with trea-
son and political crimes was sud
denly summoned by the Peoples
Court today to meet on Saturday,
the day after Chancellor Hitler
makes what is expected to prove
the most important speech since
he has assumed power to the
ReichStag.
Whether this means that exc

resumed no one knows.
Reds Wait Trial
The session will be a long one
Among those to be tried for
treason, where the death penalty
may be pronounced, probably will
be Ernst Thaelmann and Ernst
Torgler, Communist leaders.
Thaelmann was the Communist
candidate for the presidency of
the Reich in 1882, and polled
millions Of votes. Torgler was
accused Of helping set fire to the
Reichstag Building.
A number Of Nazi storm troop
ers, alleged to have been involved
in the Roehm "putsch,'' sup
suppressed by Hitler and General
Goering on June 80. are also to
face trial. =

morning from Chicago on an un-

It was believed the Presidents

likely that while in the West Mrs.

where her daughter, Mrs. Anna
Roosevelt Dali, is establishing the
necessary six weeks legal residence
preparatory to filing suit for di-

Mrs. Roosevelt, according to air

DollfuSS was in conference with

homes of suspected Nazi terrorists
and within less than an hour had
made seven arrests.
At BuerS, in western Austria

damaged. No arrests were made
there and the police were inclined
to attribute this outrage merely to
antichurch elements.
Meanwhile, Chancellor Dollfuss

COOPERATIVE

The District government today
took a long step forward toward
putting thousands of relief cases
to work by laying the founda-
tions for a corporation which
will go into a series Of CO.
operative industries, ranging
from dress making to farming.
The corporation will not be for
profit and will pay no salaries.
The announcement of this
project was made today by FL
wood Street, director Of public
welfare, following conference
with Commissioner Allen and Dis
trict Corporation Counsel Seal,
James Barrett and Owen Wood.
ruff, Of the District emergency
relief organization.
May Borrow Money
The personnel of the corporation
will include responsible heads Of
the District government and prob
ably members of the Board Of
Public Welfare. It will be en-
powered to do business in any
State and to enter into any indus"
tries, but most important Of all
at the present moment will be it's
ability to borrow money from the
Federal Emergency Relief Admin"
istration. ~.E..,t - ,.
{: Ti1e entire project Is under tha
guidance of the Federal Govern.
ment through the staff of rehabili-
tation experts of the FERA. Its
entire set-up will follow plans
given the District Government by
these Federal experts.
It is understood today that the
District rehabilitation corporation
will be a model on which several
hundred other such programs will
be undertaken.
Give More Money
Commissioner Allen and other
members of the conference today
expressed the hope that this new
step toward rehabilitation will
give to families now on relief
more money.
The activities Of the proposed
corporation will include large
dressmaking establishments, shoe
making activities, house repairing
and similar work.
Those who engage in this work
will be able to trade their labar
for all the necessities of life and
it is believed thet they will be
able to earn more of these neces-
sites than they possibly could
receive by working for any Of the
emergency relief projects now in
existence.
Start Farm Colonies
In addition to these industrial
plans, the corporation will un-
dertake to establish farm colonies
near Washington and will set up
in business individuals or groups
of families who want to under
take some cooperative agricul-
tural project.
AS soon as the corporation is
legalized, it is expected to re-
ceive from the Federal Govern
ment whatever sum Of money ap-
pears to be necessary to start
the wheels going. Elwood Street
today suggested that about $780,"
600 would be the initial grant.
