OVER GERMANY

CASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy, Aug,
2. U.P)-"The death of President
Won Hindenburg will create great
difficulties, the pope said today
in receiving Bishop Bernard Ma
honey of Sioux Falls, South Dako-
ta.
Later, in receiving Bishop Joseph
F. Rummel of Omaha, the pope re-
ferred to Hindenburg again, saying:
"The situation means there will
be grave concern. Things will be
difficult and strained.
"We have just had the sadness
of the death of Chancellor Doll

of God. That was particularly

ficient operation of the organiza-
ton. Council members were of the
opinion that one or two of the
items listed might be changed
somewhat but the whole matter was
finally left over for a more thor
ough discussion at the August IT
meeting.
During the discussion of the
chamber budget, Ross T. Hickcox
while not a member of the cham
ber directorate, spoke briefly in be-
half of the budget as presented,
urging the council to take action
on it at this meeting. His attitude
in the matter brought a sharp re-
tort from Mayor Charles E. Ander-
son to the effect that the council
would not submit to ''any bully
ingo on this question from anyone
and a definite statement that the
question was closed for the present
and would not be reopened until
later this month.
Hickcox objected to the use OF
the word "bullying.' Anderson in
turn objected principally TO What
he termed the attitude of waving
a red flag before the council,
with the possible intention of in
timidating the board members in
their deliberation on the question
of the budget. A mutual agree
ment that possibly each was wrons
in his understanding of the matter
closed the episode.
Letters from DR.. Elwood Mead,
chief of the reclamation bureau
and Senator Hiram Johnson ac-
knowledging receipt of the resolu-
ton adopted by the council at its
last meeting relative to All-Ameri-
can canal construction, were read
by the board and ordered filed.
These letters stated that the mat
ter would be given "early atten-
ton" by both Mead and john
son.

Governor Announces Platform
On Which He Will Seek Re-
publican Nomination.

SACRAMENTO. Aug. 2. U.P-
Governor Frank Merriam laid 10
point program before the public
today, indicating as he did so that
it is the platform on which he
will seek the Republican guberna-
torial nomination.
Merriam IS proposals were:
l. That additional relief be Civ
en- taxpayers through extending
time for payment of delinquent
taxes and TAX instalments and
through reducing interest rates on
delinquent tayes.
2. That a California ReconStruc-
ton corporation be formed to ac-
quire assessment bonds at current
quotations in order to reduce prin-
cipal amounts and interest rates in
favor of assessment payers.
8. That the state afford further
relief to mortgage holders, either
by itself or in cooperation with the
federal government.
4. That tax revision include pro-
vision for payment of taxes semi
annually or quarter-annually.
S. That new efforts be made in
behalf of the Central Valley water
project.
6. That the legislature approve a
program of public works, carefully
conceived, equitably distributed, and
based on sound economic princi-
pies.
7. That productive lands in the
state be set aside in small parcels
for use of those desiring this meth
cd of self-support.
8. That a plan for unemployment
and old age relief be established
under just apportionment from en-
ployer, worker and state.
9. That the public school system
be maintained at its present high
standard, with teacher tenure, and
the retirement fund placed on a
sound. acturial basis.
10. That principles and the in
tegrity of civil service be preserved,
with employees protected against
political influences.
He suggested state constitu-
tional convention to "simplify"
the constitution, permitting reduc-
ton of fixed charges. Taxes, he
said, cannot be reduced until the
government spends less and spends
more wisely.
Concerning his part in the San
Francisco strikes he said:
"Let the record speak for it
self.''
Finally Merriam, in his first
major political speech since sue
ceeding the late James Rolph,
urged that all radical and Com
munistic influences in the state be
eliminated by vigorous action.

BERLIN, Aug. 2. U.P) = Adolf
Hitler, former Austrian nousepaint-

man people today on the death of
President Paul Won Hindenburg.
Hitler's cabinet made him pres
ident-chancellor, absorbing all the
powers of both offices. He has con-

army whose members are to take
an oath of answering loyalty to
him.
Hitler thus has greater sway than
any dictator on earth. Even Mus

albeit with little authority.
Hitler is expected to seek office
for life as "reich leader for the
German nation and people, A
referendum will be held between
August 10 and 26 for the people to

Japan Rejects
Swanson Plans

TOXIC. Aug. 2. U.P-Secretary
of the Navy Swanson's proposal
for a flat 20 per cent reduction of
all naval ornaments is unaccept-
able to Japan, it was indicated un-
officially today.
japanese naval circles showed in
formally their opposition. The for
eign office was represented as
sharing the opinion of the naval
group.
The japanese suspect the United
States of offering to make a paper
rather than a physical, reduction
of its own naval strength as most
of the American construction, pro-
vided by the Vinson- -Trammel pro-
gram, has not been started and ex-
lists only on blue prints.
Japan, on the other hand, has
built its navy close to treaty limits
and would have to cut from actual
strength should the Swanson plan
prevail.

LONG : ARMY
DEMOb|L|z|NG
New Orleans Police Force Sits
Tight In Political Squabble
For Control Of City.
BY 1. 1. FEMRITE

United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 2.-Sen.
Huey P. Long began demobilizing
his army today while police force,
augmented by 500 citizen recruits,
stood by, ready to do or die in pre-
venting "the kingfish from seiz-
ing by force partial control of the
municipal government.
Three hundred of 600 national
guardsmen mobilized at Jackson
barracks 48 hours on orders of Gov.
o. K. Allen, "the kingfish 50 sub
ordinate in the powerful Long po-
litical machine, were sent home.
The others expected rehabilitation
shortly.
Long apparently did not plan to
use the troops to put his non-par-
tisan police board, created by the
recent legislature, into power. The
board was to have taken office
yesterday but was restrained by a
court injunction.
Mayor T. Semmes WalmSley, an
ticipating that Long planned to use
troops to violate tf/ injunction,
swore in 500 citizens as special po-
lice, and ordered all be given arms
| to fight the soldiers If necessary.
Three hundred special police
will be held under arms at head
quarters today and DO tonight
| Carefully organized motor trans
ports waited to rush them to the
scene Of any coup attempted by
Longs soldiers.
To Probe Underworld
Allen ordered Adjutant General
Raymond Fleming to make an in
vestigation of bawdy houses and
gambling resorts that flourished
here until two weeks ago when
Allen ordered city authorities to
eliminate them or face removal
from office. But Allen told Flem-
ing not to use force.
Fifty soldiers still held the
office of the registrar of voters for
Orleans Parish although a state law
making it safe from interference by
the local machine went into effect
yesterday. Before last fall S elec-
ton police armed with court Or
der arrested the Long-appointed
registrar and seized the registra-
ton books. The new law prohibits
courts from interfering in any way
with the office. Since soldiers
seized it 24,500 voters have been dis
franchised by having their names
removed from the books. Long al
legged they were improperly regis
tered.

MRS. LANCER
SEEKS OFFICE

BISMARCK, N. D., Aug. 2. W.P)-
Lydia Kady LANCER, who never did
like politics, will be the state s
next Republican candidate for gov
ernor.
She was nominated by the state
central committee yesterday after
her husband, William H. LANCER,
deposed governor, withdrew from
the ticket. LANCER was ousted from
the governor office after he was
sentenced to 18 months in Leaven-
worth prison on charges of solicit
ing federal employees for dona-
tions to a campaign fund
Mrs. LANCER, who quit the draw
ing rooms of New York TO come to
the plains of North Dakota with
"Bill," accepted her nomination,
thanking the committee for its
faith in her husband.
Mrs. Langer's nomination was
regarded as a desperate move of
the LANCER faction in its bitter
fight with Ole Olson, present gov
ernor.

MINNEAPOLIS
STRIKE HAS
NEW CRISIS
CONTINUED On Page 81

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 2. W.P)-
Guerilla warfare flared anew in
Minneapolis streets today as strik-
ing truck drivers renewed attacks
on commercial vehicles. Trucks
were overturned, automobiles dam
aged and drivers beaten.
Heavy army trucks loaded with
guardsmen roared into the city to
reinforce 400 men left on duty
when Maj. Gen. Ellard A. Walsh
withdrew most of his weary army
last. night for a "much needed
rest.' ,.
Pickets struck simultaneously in
many parts of the city. Most Of
the violence was in the outlying
sections. Military patrol cars
chased the elusive terrorists.
A renewal of violence in the IT.
day-old strike, which has resulted
in the death of three men, came
at time when prospectors for a
peace settlement were beginning to
brighten.
Gov. Floyd B. Olson, who de-
clared martial law and placed the
$4,000 inhabitants of Hennepin
county under military dictate"
a week ago, was leading figure
in the new peace Itove,
While the strikers watched hope
fully for the release of their lead
erS from the military stockade, they
continued their planned campaign
of terrorism.
Picketing was renewed yesterday
after an interruption of five days.
Guardsmen responded with a series
of raids that sent most of the strike
leaders to military prisons.

RIVER AGAIN SHOWS DROI

Following the approval of the
stock water hauling project by
state SERA officials. five truck
tanks were put into commission
this morning hauling water to
ranches in the valley. Two of
these trucks are operating in the
Calipatria section, two near Holt
vile and one in the Imperial dis
trict. With the addition of these
five, there are now IA trucks in
the valley engaged in hauling this
stock water.
There are several very important
points to be borne in mind by
ranchers regarding the distribution
of this water, local SERA author
tiles pointed out this morning. Dis
tribution of this water will be made
by the irrigation district acting
through its divisions and orders for
it must be placed just as orders
for irrigation water were placed
before the present shortage, through
the zanjeros of the district.
Deliveries will be made to stock
men who have provided themselves
with water-tight reservoirs of con-
crete, metal or wood, of sufficient
capacity to hold at least two days
supply. 1t is particularly insisted
that in no case will delivery be
made to tanks of less than 1000
gallons capacity. The reservoirs
should be easily accessible to the
trucks and should have their tops
not more than 80 inches above the
roadway where the truck is to be
unloaded A two day advance notice
must be given in order to procure
this water.
1t is to be particularly noted that
this project received approval for
a 80 day period, only. If at the
end of that time it should prove
to have been carried out satisfac-
torily and in the most economical
manner and should the drought
still exist, further approval of the
project will probably be granted,
it was stated at SERA headquart-
ers here this morning.

AUSTR|ANS IN
NEW FEAR Of
HITLER POWER

VIENNA. Aug. 2. up" What
next?p AuStrianS asked apprehen-
sively today when they heard Won
Hindenburg was dead and Chan
cellor Adolf Hitler had assumed
full power in Germany.
The usual noontime crowds in
the coffee houses talked in sub
dued tones over the possible eff
fectS of Hitler's elevation on Aus
tria IS fight for independence.
An undercurrent of uneasiness
was noticeable, in the fear that
Hitler's sudden assumption Of the
presidency and reiehswehr leader
ship might so strengthen him that
he would be emboldened to amplify
his campaign for closer tie with
Austria.
Austrians long have believed that
Hindenburg disapproved OF the ra-
dio and press attacks in Germany
against Austria, and acted as re-
straining influence on Nazi extrem-
lists.
Now that Hindenburg is gone,
Austrians fear Hitler might em-
bark suddenly on any venture, with
the idea Of consolidating his pop
ularity at home.
Austrians feel there Is nothing
they can do, however, except 70
wait patiently for the protection
of the big powers If Hitler decides
Austria Is TO be Nazifled.
Both officials and private quar-
ters were uncertain whether Won
Hindenburg death would affect
appointment OF Franz Von Papen
as special minister TO Austria. n

Won Hindenburg had been dying
for months, uremia sapping his

At last he gave way, and faded

BOBBY AND JACK PATTERSON

Several weeks ago we received
two one-column photos. One
of them was a photo Of Baby
Bobby Patterson, which we pub
lished immediately-it was so
cute. Today we publish this
photo of Baby Bobby Patterson
and his big brother Jack Pat
terson, both of 1858 Monroe st.
N. E.
These two youngsters re-
Gently celebrated their birth
day anniversaries. Bobby as
we said before was one year
old, August 6, and Jack was
five years old August 18th. We
take it for granted that they
celebrated together.
We did not hear much about
the gifts Bobby received for
his birthday, but we understand
that their aunt, gave Jack a
wonderful row boat-a real one.
You can tell that the captains
idea has changed. The photo
we published of Bobby, he was
wearing a captains cap-now
in this photo Jack is posing
in the captains cap like a
million dollars.
After all he is now captain of
his row boat. He must look
lost when he is trying to row
the boat alone. We think he
is a lucky boy to possess such
a wonderful gift at his age.
Not many youngsters receive
gifts like that so young. Here
is hoping he always wears a
life preserver. We must say
that these two boys get most
anything they want.
