Hitler's Screams Aroused
Residents of Bauarian Resort
Inhabitants Story Differs From Off
cidI Version of ChanceIIOr's
Visit to ROehm.

No one in the vicinity ventured
nearer than his own window sill.
The setting was not, as official re-
ports said, the official luxurious coun-
try mansion serving as kind of storm
troop headquarters, residents claim.
They say it was respectable middle
class pension, built in Alpine style on
the edge of lake.
The late Ernst Roehm, former storm
troop head, had been spending a va
cation of about three weeks there.
Natives said Hitler had visited here a
week or two previously. but had stayed
at a house across the lake, while
Hitler's secret police chief. who is
credited with uncovering the revolt,
was visiting nearby.
None but prominent guests are ad-
mitted to the pension, which has been
besieged by the curious since govern
ment statement gave it house of
sin" reputation.
No one seems to have seen Roehm
at the time of his arrest, and hearsay
descriptions of Edmund Heines, Sile-
sian storm troop leader, in handouts,
are frequent and uncomfortable.
A rumor that Roehm had committed
suicide was carried in Berlin the We'd
neSday before he was shot.

well on its feet Kennedy sold it to

Helen Twelvetrees and Eddie Quillan

while Kennedy was at Pathe's helm.
Eventually he negotiated the sale
of Pathe to R-K-O.
Movie men, however, seem to think
Kennedy's most extraordinary activity
was In arranging a course Of lectures
on motion pictures for Harvard. Most
OF the film leaders, including Will
Hays, were on Kennedy's program.
They all spoke at Harvard.

SUBSTITUTE HUNT !
PRESSED IN REICH
Scientists Seek New Proc
eSSeS to Cut Imports
and Aid Labor.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, July 7.-Germanys best
scientific brains are busy these days
thinking out new processes whereby
more prime materials can be produced
at home, thereby cutting down i'm
ports and helping the labor situation.
The fruits of years of laboratory
resources are falling in the laps Of
the Hitler chieftain, sorely pressed
by the state of German trade as
well as by revolt in the ranks.
One of the first effects Of the drive
toward "ersatz''-substitute materials
has been a noticeable increase in
purchases, obviously for boarding
against the day when genuine" arti-
cles will not be available at ordinary
prices.
Buried among the domestic laws
approved by the cabinet three days
ago was one highly significant OF the
trend toward new materials.
This law imposed the same excise
tax on sugar made from wood as beet
sugar, on the grounds that the Man
leLll plduI Ol Tile IlOIcQ SClSIlIlSL, LII.
FREDERICK Berg1us, now can turn out
wood sugar on commercial basis.
The cellulose sugar meets all the
requirements OF German pnarmaco-
poela, it was stated.
Advertisements ot1er1ng German
tea composed OF the purest herbs" al
ready are appearing IN the news
papers.
Hoarding of food and clothing is
being openly admitted and denounced,
as IN statement OF the Halle Cham-
ber OF Commerce that such foolish,
selfish sabotage" Is causing trace
boom which Is bound TO be followed
by serious slump.
While those tavoring the cutting
down Of imports by home manu1ac-
ture point out many scientific ad-
vances Of the last two decades older
Germans are inclined to remember
with great dlspleasure the substitutes
OF war days.

nounced today he would institute
legal proceedings against Francis r.
Gresham of Baltimore, Md, whose

Before the crash the ship had been
stunting, police said.

DECISION
|SEXPECTEDS SOON
Due to Reach Stand on
Stock Commission Post
Over Week End.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Ferdinand Pecora, who conducted
the Senate's investigation of Wall
Street practices, is expected to decide
over the week end whether he will
serve on the new Stock Exchange
Commission under chairmanship of
Joseph P. Kennedy, a former market
operator.
This was disclosed yesterday as the
commission recessed until Monday
after deciding that prompt discharge
would be the penalty for any employe
OF the commission dealing in the
stock market for other than legiti-
mate investment purposes.
Mothershed Considered.
At the same time. it was learned
that John Mothershed, together with
several others, is under consideration
for appointment as secretary to the
commission. Mothershed, originally
from Georgia and more recently the
manager of Washington branch of
a brokerage house, has the backing OF
several Southern Senators
Pecora is anxious to return to his
private law practice and was led to
vote for Kennedy as chairman only
by the extensive persuasion of other
members of the commission. Presi-
dent Roosevelt was anxious that the
post 60 to Kennedy.
Based on Testimony.
Pecoras objection is based pri-
marily upon the fact that he brought
out testimony before the Senate
Banking Committee in the stock ex-
change investigation that Kennedy
had participated in a pool in alcohol
stocks during their phenomenal rise
of approximately year ago.
Pecora has denounced pool opera
tions in no uncertain terms. Pools
are forbidden by the law which the
commission will administer.
Pecora was named to the commits
sion for one year. and while his
friends said he still had to reach a
final decision on serving. they felt
confident he would agree to fill out
the year, or, at least, most of it.
