DUGGAN

There will be no block dance on Thursday evening at Duggan school. Although one was orig inally planned, it is understood that the great expense incurred is the principal reason that one can not be held every week. The dance will take place on the following Thursday however. The outdoor event held a week ago was a de- cided success. More than four thousand people were in attend ance and all were given an evening of pleasure.
 Director Cliff McHale holds the opinion that such an event every week will soon become monotany and believes that with a street dance every other week there will be considerable interest manifested by the public.
 Those who plan to attend the next event are assured of a good time. Due to the large crowd and the number of people desiring to dance it will be necessary to rope off space and hold this in reserve for dancing only. None of the spectators will be allowed to pene- trate this set off. Director McHale is doing all things possible to please everyone and in this rather unusual respect he has been quite successful.

TWO ARMIES AT NEW ORLEANS
(Continued from Page 1.)


 Walmsley's appeal for federal army intervention was rejected at Washington.
 Troops occupied the red brick Soule or municipal office building and three machine gun muzzles were poked from windows directly at City Hall, across Lafayette street.
 AntS1er machine gun command ed St Charles street.
 Mayor T. s. Walmsley, whose op- position to Long resulted in Long calling out National Guard, ordered all the city's police on duty in 12 hour shifts.
 There were only 40 troops in the Soule building, but 600 more were mobilized at Jackson barracks. They included artillerymen. caval- rymen and infantrymen.
 Long is trying to dominate the hostile city government which de- feated him in the municipal elee- tion early this year. In putting troops at the soule building, he gained control of state registration records for the September primary.
 Although some of the artillery men boasted "what we'll do with our field guns if the police try any thing with us," only automatic pis- tols had been issued to them.
 The troop concentration followed announcement by Mayor Walmsley that the city would ignore Governor o. K. Aliens proclamation of mar tial law, under which t, oops seized the office of the registrar of voters for Orleans Parish
 This Is war to end against Huey Longs political machine" the mayor challenged. He previously appealed to federal authorities in Washington for intervention.
 The greatest excitement and the widest rumors circulated through the city. famed by radio stump speeches by the Kingfsh and Walmsley in which they called one another every name that could possibly be used without incurring the wrath of the federal radio com mission.
 All gambling houses and the sporting places in New Orleans famous red light district were tight ly closed. Allen threatened several weeks ago to use troops to close them and they have been open only for brief intervals and clandestinely since.
 Long remained in the safety of his heavily guarded quarters in the Roosevelt hotel where he conferred with Allen and other members of his state political machine between Appearances before the microphone
 The unexplained troop mobiliza- ton seemed to center definitely on the temporary court barrier placed before the police board which had been scheduled to take charge to- day. Dr John M. Fletcher, Tulane university representative on the board, said Alfred Danziger, Huey's member, told him he thought it advisable" that the board meet to- day despite the injunction.

 Hitler motored slowly towards the Finkenstein estate of Count Hermann Dohne, where he will stay. Villagers raised their arms in salute to the passing car but did not shout the usual "Heil."
 Hitler was believed to have tele- phoned to Berlin from the Hinden- burg home.
 It was unofficially disclosed to- day that Anton Rintelen, former minister to Italy, had admitted his part in the Nazi putsch: During police questioning he divulged de- tails of the July 25 plot after po- lice had confronted him with eX- tracts from his own private papers showing he had expected to take over chancellorship.

 Senator William G. McAdoo. D.. Calf, and wartime secretary Of treasury, read the British frontier statement and proposed that the United States peacefully acquire sovereignty over the Islands of the West Indies. He said none of them Great Britain, France and Hol- land possess West Indian Isles should be under foreign flags.
 That plan would void every de- tail of Roosevelt administration Latin American policy. The new deal has just hurried marines out of Haiti: abrogated our Piatt amendment over lordship of Cuba. Last year Mir Roosevelt defined the Monroe doctrine in new terms which made lal the Americas re- sponsible for it's observance.
 Simple arithmetic appears to underly the McAdoo proposal. If hostil bombers could be massed on a West Indian base the agricul- tural and manufacturing empire east of the Rocky Mountains would be within four to twelve hours of the explosive laden flyers. St Louis Cleveland, Washington, New Or leans New York, Kansas City, Chicago and Milwaukee would be well within a 10 hour radius for ships capable of cruising at 175 miles an hour.
 Essential to national defense is the Panama Canal lying west or the island outposts which clutter the sea from Florida to the South American mainland. Such consid- erations impelled the United States to lease from Nicaragua great and little corn islands. The lease was for 99 years. Since it was signed the science of flight has brought other islands within striking dis tance of the nacal.
 Great Britain maintains a mod est West Indian naval squadron. The United States possesses a great base in Cuba.
 In the Pacific the Philippine Islands are moving toward inde- pendence under an agreement which continues American naval bases there. We will relinquish army bases but the naval question Is postponed for later discussion.
 Military strategists apparently believe the Philippines are not de. fensible against attack by, say, Japan. Hawaii is considered with in the Pacific area which could be controlled by American force of arms.
 The spectacular Italain mass flight from Rome to Chicago last year did not convince strategists that the North American contin- cnt would he vulnerable at this time to attack based in Europe.

 An official announcement sald Hitler visited the presidents peu- side and expressed his and the countrys wishes for HindenburSh $ recovery.
 Despair of Recovery
 Despair of Hindenburg's recoV- cry came when the four physicians attending him announced in a bull letin at s:3O a. m. (3;3O d. m'' EDT):
 "The president had quiet night but his weakness is increasing. Hc is fully conscious and free from fever. The pulse is weaker.
 (Signed) "Sauerbruch, for the attending physicians"

 He was accompanied by pr Ernst Hanfstaengl of the propa- ganda ministry. Hanfstaeng.' Harvard graduate and recent vis- itor to the United States, is Hitler's close friend and private pianist.
 Arrangements were made Tor Hitler to stay at the Finkenstein estate of Count Hermann Bohne, 10 miles from Neudeck and 15 minutes away by fast motor car from the presidents bedside.
 Old Flag at Full Staff
 The presidential flag on top or the chateau still was whipping at full staff by a fresh breeze as a sign that the old field marshal still lived, but it seemed obvious that his life was ebbing. His urem'a' with his age of S6 full years. was regarded as having made hopeless advance. It was the same illness that killed his wartime enemies of France' Marshal Ferdinand Foch. his couh- terpart in the allied armies; Mar shal Joseph Joffre. victor Of the Marne, and Georges Clemenceau' the "Tiger" premier.
 Hindenburgs family were with him. As physicians permitted, the little grand children with whom ne loved to play and for whom ne bought toys were taken into his room to see him.
