BERLIN, July 3.-The blood
bath that washed Germany clean
of brown shirt storm troopers
officially ended Saturday night,
but an eyewitness participant in
the executions reported today
that 20 more officers of the
storm troopers were shot in
Munich yesterday.
This authority estimates the
total number Of dead at 200.
This figure may be taken as
a minimum and the fact that
shootings were still reported Mon
day leaves the question open
whether they are ended now.
Brown Shirts Scarce
Pistol fire of Hitler's black
jacketed bodyguard and Premier
Goering'S police has swept the
brown shirts from the streets Of
the Reich as the wind blows
leaves away.
Almost no shooting took place
actually in the streets, but echoes
Of revolver fire were effective.
The terrors the brown shirts had
for so long imposed on others
has turned against them with a
fury that has left them paralyzed.
AS your correspondent travelled
to Berlin over the Austrian
frontier not q brown shirt could
be seen. The streets of Munich
and Leipzig and Berlin, ordinarily
alive with uniforms of the storm
erS today show only the civilian
populace with a sprinkling of
Black Shirt Hitler guards.
Sporadic Outbreaks
Officially on vacation and or.
dered not to wear uniforms, for
hidden to meet together, prohib-
tied from discussing politics. the
brown StormerS for the most part
have taken to cover.
But not all Of them.
Confused and bewildered groups
of common storm troopers now
left headless since their highest
officers have been shot or impris-
oned are here and there breaking
out in futile and perilous demon
STATIONS.
An eyewitness reports that hun
dreds of storm troopers yesterday
cast off their uniforms and went
out into the streets of Schoene-
berg, in Berlin, shouting:
"Our leader has betrayed u.s."
Riot squads Of state police sur
rounded them and led them off
to a concentration camp.

JAMES COLLIFLOWER

George W. Beasley. president
of the Federation Of Civic AS
sociations has announced the ap-
pointment of a vigilance commit
tee to investigate health condi-
tons Of the $4,000 colored popu-
lation Of washington.
The committee is the out
growth of a recent address by
DR.. w. j. Thompkins, recorder
of deeds and former head of the
colored General Hospital at
Kansas City, Mo. DR.. ThompkinS
scored both the health department
Of the District and the United
States public health service for
neglect of colored children Of pre-
school age.
He advocated the establishment
of well-baby stations in every
community. Supervision in clinic
and by colored nurses and doc
tors of the health department is
essential for all colered children
from the prenatal period up to
six years Of age, he said.
tuberculosis will continue to
be higher in rate among both
races if immediate preventative
steps are not taken here, he
pointed out. It would have cost
$4,000 last year to save the
lives Of $50 Of the 500 colored
babies that died here from lack
Of proper care, and an expendi-
ture Of 100000 for three years
would decrease the rate to a
point below that of cities of
comparative size and climate, he
said.
Members Of the committee are
George Beason, chairman; DR..
F. o. Williston. B. T. Mont
gomery, Walter Robinson, s. w.
Scott and Charles williams.

Storm Troops Dazed,
Hitler Strips Them
Of Wide Power

Nuremberg. sporadic attempts by
storm troopers to manifest their
dissatisfaction were crushed.
Against Hitler's 100000 heavily
armed Black Shirt bodyguards
and Goering'S more than 100, 900
police, the leaderleSs stormers,
even with all their 100000 or
more men. are helpless today,
even If they desired to continue
the mutiny. Hitler is master.
How Capt. Ernst Roehm, storm
troop leader, met his death is still
a subject Of heated, but terrified
private discussions.
The latest version from a
Munich officer has it that the
commandant Of q concentration
camp at Munich personally shot
Roehm in his cell with the re-
volver he had offered Roehm so
that the storm troop leader might
shoot himself.
Cry Cut Short
Frightened whiSperings tell how
first this man and then another
Of Hitler's old comrades met
death.
Many. according to a Munich
authority, wept and died protest
ing they didn't know why.
August Schmeidhuber, Munich
storm troop leader, took it stand

HITLER DRAWS
HANFSTAENGL
P R A|SE

BOS TON, July 3 U.N.SO.
Christians Of the world and Of
Germany should be grateful for
Adolf Hitler's rise to power. rather
than join in the hymn Of hate
that has been raised against him.
That comment was gathered
from DR.. Ernst Franz Sedgwick
Hanfstaengl, THE Leaders" for
eign press chief, by a Boston Even
ing American reporter today. Said
Hanfstaengl:
'Tf Hitler had not won out .
year ago last February, Germany
would have gone red-BOlSheviSt
and christianity would have
disappeared overnight. It would
have been the end Of all relig-
ion. The clerics should be crate
full to the man."
Commenting on the weekend
Of upheaval and violence, he CON-
pared Hitler's actions to a house
cleaning, saying:
'Tn all revolutions, after q
period Of from three to four
years, there comes . time when
the old revolutionary leaders
must be replaced by cOnStruc-
tive statesmen"
Asked about reports Of the
arrest and of the shooting Of
Prince August Wilhelm, son Of
the former Kaiser, the piano
playing publicity man waved his
tremendously big hands impa-
tiently, exclaiming:
"RumOrS! RumOrs! Most Of
these things are rumOrS. 1
don't believe reports like that"
To the suggestion that travel
in Germany might not be a
pleasure. he declared:
whats unsafe about it?
What's unpleasant? What
trouble could you have? Didn't
I Just come from there?"
Hanfstaengl came to Boston
and Cambridge from a friends
home at Beverly, to present a
bust of the German operate COM
poser, Christopher Ritten Won
Gluck, to the music department
at Harvard University. "Hanfy''
was a Harvard student Is years
ago.
After presenting the bust-by
Houdon, the famed French
sculptor, Hanfstaengl insisted
that it be given no less a place
of honor than the center of the
stage Of the auditorium in
Haryard'S music building. He
said:
"Gluck'S art was universal.
He represented all nations"

CHALLENGE

International News Service
The New Deal" with its far
flung alphabetical reform agencies
and vast relief expenditures, be-
came q national issue today. The
Republican party accepted Presi-
dents RooSevelt's challenge to test
the popularity of his recovery
program at the polls in November.
The Republican acceptance was
voiced by Henry P. Fletcher. ma
tional Republican chairman.
He revealed the Republicans
would make separate issues Of the
MIRA, AAA and other agencies as
invading the constitutional rights
Of the people.
To Ask People to Judge
Mr.. Fletcher revealed Repub-
lican orators would ask the
people to pass judgment on the
cost of this relief while warning
of the huge taxes to be imposed
in the future when the bills
come due" Mr.. Fletcher said:
"FOr over q year the Admin
istratiOn has had . free hand.
The Congress, which has just
adjourned gave to the Presi-
dent almost unlimited powers
over the lives and fortunes Of
our people and the President,
In turn, delegated these powers
to . vast and bewildering maze
Of administrative agencies. It
is this departure from demo-
cratic principles and all that is
distinctly American that is
called the new DEAL
81 cannot now enter into .
detailed discussion of the new
deal and the important political,
financial, economic and social
issues involved in it. In spite
Of the names we may be called,
/ promise the people Of the
country, however, that in the
course of this campaign, they
will be thoroughly analysed and
discussed. The Republican
party feels, IL it is to be faith.
full to its trust, it is its duty
to do this"
REPLIES TO PRESIDENT
The Republican leader an
Swered directly a large part of
the radio speech made by the
President last week. In reply to
the Presidents query whether
individual liberties were curtailed,
he declared:
81 will let the tailor, Mayed,
answer that, or the workers
and owners Of that mill in
Tennessee, which the Attorney
General of the United States
finds has not violated any
law, but which is compelled tc
shut down because General
johnson has taken away from
it . craven image, not men,
toned or recognized by any
law Of the United States"
In conclusion, Mr.. Fletcher
said:
ONONEO NOCNUENGSS
eve believe that those prin-
cfples are worth while and that
the injustices and the inequali-
ties which have developed can
be cured and corrected without
twisting and defOrming our
American institutions. We do
not want to see these alphahet-
ical bureaucratic agencies be-
come permanent fixtures in our
national political life. If the
next Congress is not more self
respecting and conscious Of its
duties than the last one, they
may easily become permanent.

WORKERS FACE LOSS

on Hourly Basis Would
Suffer.

Bureau of Engraving Employees paid
on an hourly basis under the classi-
fication act must suffer a correspond
ing pay deduction If put on five-day
week and their hours cut from A to
40, Controller General McCarl ruled
today.
Those on a per annum basis, how
ever, may be shifted to the five-day
week schedule If the plant is closed,
without loss of pay.
The decision was given to the Sec
retary of Treasury and covered a
number of questions relating to op-
Grafton of the new 40-hour- week law,
which benefits only 769 out Of total
of 4,058 workers at the bureau. This
difference is due to the fact the small
number have their wages fixed by the
Secretary of Treasury, while the larger
group come under the classification
act. OF this latter number the cler-
ical-mechanical forces are paid on an
hourly basis and the remainder OF the
service on an annual basis.
