stories on the drive. The plan
about free copies has been pub
lished many times. This drive is
not a mid-summer's pleasure. The
Daily Worker must get 10000 new
readers before Sept. l. and must
double its circulation by the end
of the year.
The quota for Comrade Berry's
section is 400. A comrade has al
ready been assigned to be in charge
full time, of Red Builders. Mass
organizations are being pushed into
action and a campaign is being
started for subs.
We urge the comrades in
Kansas City to take examples
from the work in other parts of
the country. Put Red Builders on
every important intersection of
the city. Establish house to house
routes. Sell the Daily in front
of shops and factories. See that
the paper reaches the farmers
who come to the city and who
farm outside its borders. Hold
meetings to discuss the circula-
ton drive.
That is the way to make the
drive a success.

Dillinger
Master of
Raid Plots
BY BASIL GALLAGHER
Times stan Writer.

Bitter against society, no
criminal gang in history laid
plans more carefully than
John Dillinger and his hood
lums. And by the same
token, none ended more ig-
ANONYMOUSLY.
Bank robberies and killings
literally were plotted out to
the tenth Of a second. Get
aways were mapped to the
tenth Of a mile.
Conversing with each other
Dillinger and his pals used a
number code which the police
never have been able to de-
cipher. A code of nicknames
used by the gang finally was
solved by Captain Matt Leach
of the Indiana state police
after three months of labOri-
Gus effort.

The widespread nature of the
guerilla warfare was indicated by
radio reports sent out TO patrol cars
from military headquarters The
reports came from widely scattered
sections Of the city, with hardly a
pause in the broadcaStS.
Military patrols were dispatched
as fast as they could be brought
up from base headquarters at st.
Paul. With, few exceptions they re-
turned empty-handed. They found
damaged trucks and bruised and
beaten drivers. but no pickets.
General Walsh sought desperately
10 stem the riotous tide Of lawless-
ness. He was equipped to cope with
any mass violence. but the kind OF
warfare being waged by pickets left
his men empty-handed and running
IN circles.

POPE VOICES FEARS
OVER GERMAN CRISIS
Believes Hindenburg's Death
AugurS Difficulties.

By United Press
CASTELGANDOLFO, Italy, Aug.
2.-"The death of President Won
Hindenburg will create grave diff
culties," the Pope said today in re-
ceiving Bishop Bernard Mahoney of
Sioux Falls, S. D.
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.
1--WE have just had the sadness Of
the death of Chancellor Dollfuss,
who was our beloved servant of
God. That was particularly painful
to us, but HIndenburg's death
makes the horizon cloudy and the
future is filed with misgivings."

L have reached a limit Of my
endurance" he said. This sort Of
thing can not, and must not, con-
tinue."
The guardsmen so far have re-
ceived orders only to shoot in case
of resistance. There has been no
open and mass resistance. Pickets
disappeared before guardsmen ar
rived. approximately 5000 union
men were in open, but elusive, insur-
rection.
A renewal Of violence in the
Seventeen-day strike. which has re-
suited IL the death of three men

forty-eight others. came at time
when prospects for a peace settle

All Europe is in a state OF
fux, madly whirly towards a
denouement as yet obscure
but which inspires the gray
est concern.
The course of Adolf Hitler, who
like Louis XIV, boasted that Il am
the state" after sending seventy
seven of his countrymen to their
death last June, can not even be
guessed. For the influence of PreSi-
dent Hindenburg no longer will stay
his hand.
Question marks, therefore, are
flying over Europe thick as sparks
above a burning bar. What will
happen in Germany? What will
happen to Austria? Will Mussolini
intervene? If so, what will Yugo-
slavia do? And Czechoslovakla?
And France?
Will Hitler give way to a mill
tary dictatorship? Will the Hohen-
zollerns soon come back? Will
France reoccupy the Rhineland to
force Germany to honor her sigma
ture to the treaty of Versailles?
New Entente Possible
What will be the role of Great
Britain? And Poland and the So
Wet Union? All Europe once formed
coalition to get" Napoleon; is
another entente in the making to
get" Hitler, before he has time to
set the world on fire?
Slowly emerging from the fog OF
uncertainty, British policy is now
becoming discernible. 1t likely will
prove one of the major turning
points in the history of the British
Empire.
Acting Premier Stanley BaldWln'S
pronouncement that Britain'S from
tier is no longer the English chan
mel but the Rhine, changes the
strategic map of Europe as drasti-
cally as if it had been physically
redrawn.
From London, I recently cableo
this newspaper that the British
government was in possession of in
formal ton so startling regarding the
situation across the channel that il
dared not make it public then.
New Defense Mapped
Three high-placed personages
each enjoying exceptional facilities
for knowing, told me the same
thing.
If that is true" I asked, what
will the government do about it;
Obviously in a democracy such a;
Britain the public eventually will
have to be told"
"a way will be found to let the
public in on it gradually" was the
reply.
That is what is happening now
Little by little, by guarded state
ments in the House of Commons
and to the press, the British public
is being informed that the plight Of
Europe is dangerous to Britain anc
that new scheme of national de-
Tense is imperative.
With the Rhine as Britain'S from
tier as well as Frances, their gen.
eral stats must, of necessity, work
together for its defense.
