of Nations and the Disarmament
Conference, and thus ease the
tension which now exists as

many, politically, at least.
Childish Stand Seen
Instead, Hitler's effort to defy
the world by declaring Germany's
inventive genius would make the
nation independent if the rest Of
the universe refused to trade
with her was regarded as weak
and childish.
The international aspects Of
the speech were considered
neither particularly bold nor Sut-
ficiently conciliatory to warrant
new hope, but rather a middle
of the stream course which left
Germany's foreign situation just
about where it was before Hitler
stepped on the rostrum of the
Reichstag.
However, with the internal
situation apparently eaSed some

Chancellor may now be able to
devote more attention to foreign

MORALS TRIAL
ST|RS BLUSHES
IN COURT
Film Extras Sordid Charges
Leave Defendants Calm;
Prosecution Rests

LOS ANGELES. July IA GIN
SD.-Monday will be the final
testimony, by which the State
hopes to convict Dave Allen, head
of the Central Casting Bureau
and Gloria Marsh, film extra
girl, on a morals charge, read
into the already sordid case re
cord. it was indicated today.
Superior Court, where the de
tails of the asserted Bacchan
allan revel in which Allen, Miss
Marsh and June DeLong, an
other extra girl allegedly partici
pated, already have been re
vealed, was in recess today.
Miss DeLong, after one full
day on the witness stand, was
to resume her place Monday and
face a bitter cross examination
by defense counsel.
Unprintable Tale
The girl in her story yesterday
gave unprintable details Of the
party she said she staged for
Allen, April 26. in the hope she
asserted of obtaining more film
work.
She said she had given a sim
liar party TOR the casting bureau
head. who controls the destinies
of some 1900 film extras, the
majority Of whom are women
more than a year previous to the
April revel, but was prevented
from reciting details OF that
affair.
Her straightforward testimony,
delivered in a low. monotonols
undertone, which did not seek to
spare herself, brought bluShes OF
shame to the faces of women in
the court room, and even har-
dened criminal court attaches
shifted uneasily.
One of the women in the
crowded courtroom placed her
fingers in her ears during part
of Miss belongs recital.
"Frameup" Charged
After her story was completed
the defense Immediately began its
attack on the testimony.
It was attempted to show that
the asserted party was a frame
up," but this was denied by Miss
DeLong. .
During the H., recital, which
brought gaspS and bushes to the
morbidly curious crowd which
jammed even the corridors out
side the courtroom, Allen and
the flaming haired Miss Marsh
showed not the slightest touch of
emotion. Both stared intently at
the witness, however. throughout
her time on the stand.

BERLIN, July IA U.N.S0.
Adolf Hitler today is once more
the boss Of Germany.
Most Of Germany's $4,000, 600
citizens heard his speech last
night. But today they were read
ing 1t all over again, and its clever
ness and its drama have brought
Hitler's prestige again almost to
the level of that stage of national
enthusiasm which accompanied his
ascension to power.
If he has lost some hundreds
Of thousands, or even a million
Storm Troopers, he has gained,
perhaps, at least as many sup
porterS among those who hated
the Storm Troopers.
POuIOus Nervous
Two sets of considerations show
the extent Of Hitler's political
genius. First, it is necessary to
appreciate the frame of mind of
the German nation last night be-
fore Hitler's Reichstag address,
and the tension through Germany
was great. That was apparent
to the most obtuse observer.
The crowds which awaited his
passage through the streets of
Berlin were white-faced with
nervous strain. Why?
Because all Germany had staked
its last cent on Hitler, he repre-
Sented Germany's last hope, and
because of the events of June 30
and thereafter, even Hitler had
become suspect. He had killed
scores Of his old friends and said
they were traitors.
Doubts Removed
But were they?
He had laid bare the murderous
differences within the Nazi party.
Again he had introduced execu-
tions without trial as a political
instrument.
He had threatened the nation
into a paralyzed anxiety. The
Germans had voted overwhelm-
ingly for Hitler, but yesterday
afternoon it was doubtful whether
The Washington times., 1934-07-14
NINE ARkAEkANS FOUND GUILTY IN ARCHBISHOP SLAYNG
People Rally to Hitler
AfterDefenseS Speech,
Look on Him as Hero

Hitler would have gotten a bare
majority If the nation had been
given an opportunity to vote.
Today all that is changed. 1t is
hard to convey to the foreign pub
lie what waves Of relief went over
Germany as the Germans heard
last night and read Hitler's con-
vincing account Of Capt. Ernst
Roehm's revolt.
Wins Peoples Faith
It is all very we'll to pick flaws
in it, but to a neutral, skeptical
observer, it seemed certain that
Hitler did really save Germany
from q reign Of terror by perverse
and inhuman brutes and from in
calculable misery.
He certainly made the German
people believe him as he described
how Roehm, the perpetual revolu-
tionary, wanted to arrest him and
wanted to do away with all con-
servativeS-wanted to let the
Brown Shirts out on the streets
to kill without Nnit.
Finally, he made his own will
ingneSs to kill his old time friends,
his newly discovered betrayers, ex-
plicable as he declared that at
one time a conSpirator had con-
fessed that he had been chosen
and agreed to kill Hitler If neces-
sary.
Words Garry Weight
History may have another YER
dict, but at the moment the Ger
man people have welcomed H1tlers
statement with pathetic gratitude.
Hitler was all they had. To the
vast majority of Germans he
meant Germany.
If Hitler had failed them, If he
had merely killed Roehm and his
confederates to remove an 1ncon-
venient element in his political
setup, then the Germans felt
there was no more to hope for.
Now he has proved to their salts
faction that he is the Hitler they
believed him.
More than that, he has proved
he was a personal hero.

TREASON COURT

Judges Selected BY Hitler to

BERLIN, July IA G.N.S0.-Ber-
Inns new treason court" officially
styled the Peoples court" opened
its sessions today and Immediately
demonstrated that legal technical
tiles are not to stand in the way
of convictions If there is ample
evidence that accused persons are
guilty Of conspiracy against the
state or other political crimes.
Minister of Justice Guertner, in
swearing in the 80 judges picked
by Chancellor Hitler himself, made
this plain in a brief opening ad-
dress in which he urged that cases
before the court be dealt with
without delay.
Told to Ignore Critics
Guertner advised the judges,
too, that they should not be
swayed by any consideration of
what foreign critics thought Of
the processes by which they ar
rived at their verdicts, an obvious
reference to the fact that inter-
national opinion was focused on
the Leipzig trial of the Com
munists accused of setting fire
to the Reichstag building.

A clever, well presented politi
cal case for home consumption
but disappointing from an inter
national standpoint.
Such was the first reaction in
State Department quarters today
to Chancellor Adolph Hitler's
address before the Reichstag.
Although Hitler was given due
credit for apparently having
lessened the danger Of imme'
diate civil strife in Germany by
consolidating the German ma
ton behind him once again, his
remarks on the international
situation fell short of expecta'
tions.
Foreign Policy in Doubt
With France, encouraged by
British support, forging a new
ring of steel around Germany
that threatens to solidify the
status quo Of the Versailles
Treaty, and with Germany'E
foreign trade situation daily
growing worse, American officials
had expected Hitler would make
some important declaration on
foreign affairs.

adopt a conciliatory attitude thai

indications he would grid his loins

Territory at Stake
Germany has been asked to join
in an eastern Locarno" which is
designed to preserve the territorial
status quo in Eastern Europe and
serve as a guarantee Of peace. She
has been asked to join with Russia,
Czechoslovakia and the Baltic
States in a pact Of mutual security.
To accept the idea Of the East
ern Locarno" Germany would have
to surrender all thought Of regain
ing any of the territory she lost
in the East as a result Of the
World War and accept as perma-
nent her present eastern frontiers.
To a nation that has for more
than a decade dreamd Of getting
back her lost lands this may be re-
garded as too great a sacrifice.

French 'Locarno' Treaties

Acceptance Of the Eastern

in some quarters as an acknowl-

Europe, a thought repugnant to
Germany and her leaders.
Germany refused to consider the
idea a few weeks ago when Maxim
Litvinoff, the Soviet Commissar
for Foreign Affairs, broached it on
his way back to Moscow from the
disarmament conference at
Geneva. There was nothing in
