SACRAMENTO, Sept. Ia. - Fed
eral unemployment relief forces wor
their battle with state administra-
ton heads today when a revised re-
lief bond bill was presented to the
special session of the California
legislature.
The proposed constitutional a.
mendment, providing for the $24,-
100000 unemployment relief bono
issue, was redrafted along lines rec
commended by Vernon D. Northrop
acting state relief administrator
1t changed the original bill pre-
sented by Sen. Ralph Swing, Sar
Bernardino, by limiting expendi-
lures of the money to unemploy-
ment relief only and by centerine
administration of the fund in an
independent director
Northrop's suggested amend
ments were accepted by joint leg
islative committee after a night
session and the measure was sent
out with "do passo recommend
alton.
Before the relief administrator
appeared on the floor of the assem-
bly, late yesterday, both houses
were indignant over his objections
to the original bill. The assembly
subpoenaed him to appear and ex-
plain.
Northrop did, and apparently wor
/ the joint group to the federal plar
for handling unemployment relief
He eventually granted concessions
to administration leaders demands
One provided that the head of the
state department of welfare should
act as ex-officio member of the re-
lief commission of nine members
set up by the measure. Another
set forth that the administrator OF
the $24,000,000 fund should be a

BITTER QUARREL
 OF NEWSPAPERS
German and Italian Press Are Saying Some Very
 Harsh Things

Berlin, Aug 31-U.PD- bit- ter quarrel between the German and Italian press reached a stage to-day where intervention by the foreign office was regarded as highly probable.
 Mario Dasilva, correspondent of Il Lavoro Fascista, was subjected to a violent attack in the Deuts- cher Zeitung because of an article in which he discussed the invasion of Roman territory by the ancient Germanic tribes-the Cimbri and the Teutons. The Zeitung declared the article was falsely translated and brought it to the attention of tn eforeign office, as well as the Italian press attache.
 The Nazi organ. .Angriff, was asked to print a Correction of Da Silva's article.
 "The temperatures prevailing at present in. Italy" said the Deuts- che Zeitung ironically, apparent ly have robbed Italian Journalists of their senses. This is dangerous unfortunately the symptoms ap- pear to point to that condition.
 National socialism and fascism are two entirely different concepts. National socialism is attempting to clean out the subversive influence of Judiasm in art, literature and science, whereas fascism not only toleraates the Jew but elevates him to high places."
 It was rumored that Da Silva had ben requested to leave the country, but the correspondent himself said he had received no official notification.

REDUCE GERMAN
 STORM TROOPS
Drastic Action Is Cause of Surprise-From 200,=
 900 to 60,OOO

Berlin, Aug 31-U.P)-Dras- tic reduction in the brown shift storm troops was under way to- day, with the Berlin contingents reduced from 100000 to between 50.000 and 60.000.
 To save the feelings of the oust- ed troopers, the reduction was in- geniously accomplished by increas- ing the drills and insisting upon irksome discipline. Troopers who evideced a distaste for the seberer life were informed they might resign honorably."
 It was regarded as significant that only SO,000 storm troopers are scheduled to attend the Nazi party convention at Nurenberg-a reduction of more than 50 per cent over last yea.
 All civil servants automatically have been dropped from the storm troop organization. Since these are nearly all older men, it has been noticeable that youth has pres dominated in the past few parades and drills in Berlin.
 At recent review at Tempelhof battalion formerly up to a strength of 25,000 had only be- tween 10000 and 12,00O in line. The reorganization has not yet reached stage where the remain ing storm troopers can be placed in barracks in egular regiment but this operation undoubtedly is awaiting settlement after the party convention.

NEW ENGLAND IS REAL SORE SPOT
 IN THE TROUBLE
Every Effort Being Made to Prevent Trouble in
 Various Zones
BY HENRY MINOTT United Press Staff Correspondent


 Boston, Aug. 31.-(UP).-Clouds portending serious trouble hung ominously over the New England textile strike zone today,
 Police, rushing almost un- precedented preparations for coping with the national walkout on this frontier, sensed two distinct ele- ments of danger.
 First, it was learned authorita- lively that a large group of New England cotton manufacturers might keep open their mills, em- rloying strike breakers. T h i s, despite a general assumption that virtually all plants in thes ix states would close pending a peace pact. Secondly, communist agitators, led by Blonde Ann Burlak, the "red flames" already are active in the principal textile centers. and ii was reported they have been in. structed by their New York head quarters to picket mills. Boston DO. lice had several of these agitators under surveillance.
 Ann Burlak Is Threat
 Miss Burlak, former Pennsyl- vania weaver who has devoted nine or her 2S years to fighting for "the cause" told 1,500 textile workers at New Bedford last night to throw tomatoes at the cops if they try to interfere with the picket lines and at workers who do not walk out" In an interview, she assailed the low wages, said to average only $10.S6 per week, in the industry.
 "The manufacturers say they can't pay more because they're los- ing money" said the curly-haired union organizer. You know what

NEW DIMES AND
 QUARTERS OUT
Cartwheels Too in Hands of People-SlOO,OOO,=
 900 Was Issued

Washington, Aug S1.-(UP)- Bright new dimes, fresh minted quarters, jingling cartwheels and crisp silver certificates-alto- gether $10O.000,0OO more than when President Roosevelt took of- fice-filled the public's pockets to- day.
 It is part of the big program to make silver play a bigger role ip the American financial scheme. Another reason is that business is better and grocery stores and soda fountains need more change in their cash registers to take care of customers.
 The treasury has speeded up its silver program so that now $10,- 100000 a week in various form of silver money is going out. Only re- gently the rate was only $1,000,O00 a week.
 This means that banks are handing out silver certificates in preference to other forms of bills, perhaps at the suggestion of the treasury.
 Treasury figures showed to-day that the public now holds $749,- 254,S39 in silver certificates and coin. That is gain of 107,459,- 249 under Roosevelt, and a new record.

V. Dunn, The latter group, known as the regulars" walked out of the cau- GUS and filed protest with State Chairman David A. Wilson.
 Are Given Advice
 The latter few days ago ad- vised the Watertown democrats to try and get together. At the pres- ent time there are two-so-called town committees. the regular" one and the one elected with Harty at its head. @
 Therefore, the regular" town committee, in accordance with Chairman Wilson's advice, has called a caucus for September 10th for the purpose of electing a town committee for the next two years. The regular" group has refused to recognize the Harty town committee because its mem- bers were elected at caucus called merely for the purpose of choosing delegates to the various conven- tions.

BY JOHN R REAL.

(United Press Stan Correspondent
 New York, Aug 31-(UP)- Mysterious moves in an absorbing game of naval tactics-warfare be- tween liquor smugglers and coast guard-puzzled coast guard officials today when they began a new of- fensive ordered by Washington.
 Use of the speedboat and opera. tion by light of the moon, two es- sential features of late prohibition era rum running. have disappeared.
 The coast guard. which has met and check-mated every more the smuglers have made to date, doesn't yet understand what is be- hind this developemnt. It knows only that prohibitions old rum fleet has staged an amazing come back and is up to something mys- terious.
 As federal agencies swing into action to carry out Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau's new declaration of war on bootleg- gers, the opposing forces line up as follows:
 Big Fleet of Smugglers
 The smugglers own a fleet of boats especially developed to meet the tacti"al and physical demands of the trade, operating out of Can- adian and other foreign ports. They own a chain of illicit radio stations directing movements Of the "rummies" at sea. They retain some remnants of their once-pow- erful prohibition distribution or ganization.
 The government also has fleet -the coast guard once was the seventh largest navy in the world all by itself. but has been cut dras- tically: and 1t has allied agencies

Theories that the money bags and wrappers found in Milford Wednesday night might have been abandoned by the robbers who perpetual ed the bold $427,000 holdup in New York last week were exploded here today by Ser geant H.

The bags and wrappers found near the Bos- ton Post Road, the sergeant told Waterbury newspapermen, were moldy and decaying. and had been in the spot where they were found for at least few months.
 Furthermore, the officer said to- day, the bags and wrappers were from banks which had no money at all involved in the spectacular half-million dollar robbery, and the wrappers represented only a small sum of money. not the $75,O00 or more reported in early press dispatches.

 Speed was the watch-word- taking, rocketing speed of the kind that carries trim racing planes through the air at more than half the velocity of a high powered rifle bullet.
 Every part of every plane and motor had been checked and re- checked by mechanics in an effort to prevent mishaps, however slight. which might send pilot and ship crashing into the earth at 300 miles an hour.

 Washington, Aug. 31 - (UP) - The cotton textile strike today threatened the nation with indus trial warfare such as hasn't seen since the historic labor battle of the nineties, when strikers carried clubs and police shot to kill.
 The strike order called for some 100000" spinners and weavers to walkout of mills peacefully-in New England towns and southern villages tomorrow night. Immediately it threw the vast textile industry into turmoil.
 It sent reports of dissension and recrimination spinning up and down the Atlantic seaboard.
 Thousands Disobcy
 Thousands of workers disobeyed orders by striking ahead of time. Thousands more said they would not strike. Some mill owners locked their plants. Others intended 10 keep running, with strike breakers. if necessary. 6f Peace negotiations in Washing ton collapsed.
 Union chieftains sought 70 bring about immediate walkouts in the allied wooden, worsted. silk and rayon mills. Emil Rieve. president of the Hosiery Workers Union. said his organization would not join the strike-that it had contracts last ing another year.
 Relief Administrator Harry Hop- kins said he would clamp down the lid' on free fod if any strikers tried to take advantage of him.
 Secretary of Labor Frances Per- kins refused to say immediately whether she considered the strike justified. Upon her decision de- pended largely its outcome.
 If she says "unjustified," there will be no relief for the picketers. Without relief, responsible leaders
