COUNTY SALARY
SUIT CALLED
POLITICS

Suit filed against two Mont
gomery county commissioners in
which they are alleged to have re.
ceived compensation in excess OF
the amount they are entitled to, Is
purely political move" John B.
Diamond, chairman of the board
of commissioners and one of those
sued said today.
The suit, filed by James P.
Veirs, Rockville farmer, claimed
Mr.. Diamond and Robert D. Hag'
ner had each received $1,000 too
much salary, in that they were re.
ceiving the pay boost granted at
recent legislative sessions when
the Maryland constitution forbids
raising of salaries Of officers dur.
ing office.
The action, also directed against
J. Forrest walker, county treas.
urer, asked that judgment be en-.
tered against the two commits
Sioners for the excess amounts
and that Mr.. Walker be enjoined
from paying additional salary un-
til the full amount had been re.
paid.
Mr.. Diamond pointed out that
he and Mr.. Hagner are the only
two of the present board running
for reelection and that the
action was not directed against
the balance of the board. Mr..
Hagner concurred with Mr.,
Diamond.

ming away from battle. The solu- tion, for both the soldier and the unemployed man is the unconsci- ous one of developing an illness.
 The soldier knows it is not dis graceful to leave the front lines if he is too i'll to fight. The depres- sion victim can avoid the futile struggle for existence if he is too i'll to walk the streets. Usually the victims do not realize that they have followed this course of req soning, and their illnesses are real, but caused almost entirely by a mental process rather than by some physical disorder.
 The depression shell shock vic- tims, like those of the war, prob ably in many cases will continue to ne-d treatment and care long after the emergency that caused their trouble is over, Dr. Hall be- lieves. At the start of the present depression, relief agencies still were rehabilitating victims of the pre- vious depression of 1920.

Announcement that spectacular attempt to link the Arctic with the Antartic by radio will be made July H.. with a Seattle man in charge and Seattle equipment in use, and with stations of the Columbia net work carrying the broadcast to all parts oi the nation, was made yes terday by the Seattle Chamber of Commerce.
 The Columbia Broadcasting Sys- tenn sponsor of the undertaking, will set up a station above the Arc tic Circle in Northwestern Alaska to attempt communication with it's present station at the Admiral Byrd base at Little America, in the South Polar region. The latest type Collins transmitters will be used. Supplemental equipment is being supplied by Station KOL, Seattle. The Alaska department of the Seattle chamber is cooperating in the enterprise.

He has letters of in- Company to take charge of the un- troduction to officials at Nome, Teller and Kotzebue The equip ment has been shipped.
 The attempt at communication between the northernmost outpost of America, where almost constant daylight will rule during the brief summer season, and the Byrd Ex- petition, which will be in the dark ness of the long night of the Ant arctic winter, will be by short-wave transmission almost 4,000 miles to Point Reyes on the California Coast, and then by relays to Bue- nos Aires and Little America.

lNew Blue Eagle' Aids Figlt of German American Shops
 On Boycott of Nazi Products
By RAIDER wINGET

NEW YORK, June 8.-There is a new blue eagle Tapping it's wings in New York.
 It is a German American blue eagle, and in German-American sections of New York it is reported to be as popular as the MIRA bird
 Introduction of the eagle nere is considered another move in the long and often bitter fight between clements of Germans and Jews, a reflection of racial disturbances in nazi Germany.
 Shopkeepers, especially in the German American Yorkville section of the city, are proudly displaying the eagle of imperial mien perched above the letters DAWA and ris- ing sun. DAWA stands for Deutsche Amerikanischer Wirtschafts-Auss- chuss-meaning German American Economic Committee.
 History of Movement
 Those flying the eagle are report ed pledged not to buy supplies from any source that boycotts German goods. Backers of the plan say there are 1,500 eagles and many more than that number of consum- CTS pledged to buy from the new eagle shops.
 The history back of the move ment starts with reports of nazi persecution of Jews in Germany last year. Jews and Jewish sym pathizers, especially in New York, whose population includes approxi- mately 100000 Jews, organized a boycott of all things German.
 In the face of the boycott, some of the largest department stores announced they would not purchase German products, and mass meet ings were held to protest Hitler's treatment of Jews in Germany. Am bassador Hans Luther in Wash ington lodged complaints with the American government, but federal authorities said they could take no action because no federal of- ficials were involved.
 Congressional Probe
 The pro-Hitler movement in the United States came to light when Heinz Spanknoebel, leader of the Friends of New Germany, left the country as officials sought him for questioning. Representative Dick stein of New York last fall launch ed an investigation in Washing ton of pro-nazi activities in Ameri- ca, and committee now is con- tinuing that work.
 Meanwhile pro-nazis are consoli- dating their forces, holding mass meetings and parades and fighting the Jewish boycott of German goods.
 Their open drive here was coinci- dent with the announcement from Hjalmar Schacht, president of the Reichsbank in Berlin, that Germany

because the fears built up by bat ting enormous economic odds often are greater than those inspired by the horrors of battle.
 A wartime shell shock victim was torn between two desires-one for self lf-preservation and the other for self-respect and approval of his actions by his fellow soldiers. To run away would be disgraceful, yet to face the dangers of battle seem ed unbearable.
 The depression victim is faced with much the same dilemma, says Dr. Hall. Under the American scheme of things it has been con- sidered disgraceful to be unable to earn ones own living. A man out of a job has two alternatives: to keep up the fight for job, going hungry and worse still, seeing hil family suffer; or to apply for pub lie relief.
 Solution Is Illness
 To many, however, asking for charity seems as cowardly as run
