NkEAPOLS STRIKE PROPOSALS CALLED SELL OUT TO REDS
Hitler War Minister
To Meet Austrian
In Peace Gesture

yesterday between the vice chancel-
lor and Count Thun, Austrian
Catholic leader, who assured Won
Papen that the new SchuSchnigg
government in Austria was eager
to make peace with Germany and
that Schuschnigg had definite
German leanings.
Prepare for Vote
Meanwhile ReichSleader Hitler
and his minister Of propaganda,
DR.. Joseph Paul Goebbels, re-
turned from the Hindenburg
funeral services at Tannenberg,
today plunged into the task Of
mobilizine public opinion over
whelmingly in ratification Of Hit
ler's assumption Of the presi-
DENTAL power in the national pleb-
tScite Hitler called for August 10.
Over the government radio the
ministry Of propaganda broadcast
a phonograph record Of the old
field marShal'S last public appeal
to the German nation when, in
urging support Of Chancellor Hit
Ter in the referendum that fol
lowed Germany'S withdrawal from
the League of Nations, he pleaded
for German unity.
The record probably will be
used many times before the
voters 60 to the polls August 10.
The magnetism of his name, the
recollection thai he S;ood behind
Hitler after first calling him to
power, are expected to count
heavily on the side Of the Reichs-
leader in the plebiscite.
May Recall Luther
Many changes in the govern
ment diplomatic corps are also
forecast as one Of the first steps
to be taken by Hitler, now that
he is complete master of Ger
many and intends to take a more
forceful stand in foreign affairs.
Among these is the probable re-
tirement Of DR.. Hans Luther as
Ambassador to the United States.
An unprecedented number Of
voters will go to the polls for
the plebiscite, probably around
80 per cent. The voters will be
called upon next week to check
the district election lists to see
If their names are correctly regis
tered.
Any native Of Germany who is
20 years old viii be eligible to
vote.
Ballot Boxes Sealed
The actual voting will be con.
Quoted as are American elections
with ballot booths in districts
whose locations are announced in
the newspapers. The polling clerk
will hand the voter a ballot upon
which he will register his ap-
proval or disapproval Of Hitler's
action and the ballot will then
be deposited in a sealed box.

BERLIN, Aug. 8 GN.SO.-A
definite step to end the conflict
with Austria, brought about by
alleged Nazi interference in Aus
trian affairs, Is Reichsleader Hit
ler's first move in the interna-
tional arena since he became COM
|plete master Of Germany upon
the death Of President Won Hin
denburg.
The Hitler governments peace
gesture will be made tonight,
when Gen. Werner Won Blomberg,
German minister Of war, receives
the former Austrian war minis
ter, Prince Schoenburg Harten-
stein, who came to Germany to
represent the Austrian govern
ment at the funeral Of Won Hin
denburg.
Friendly to Germany
The Prince commanded Aus
trian armies during the World
War and the murdered Chan
cellor Dollfuss once served under
him. He is known to be friendly
toward Germany, and today told
International News Service:
eve must place our fate in
Germanic hands and work out
our problems on this basis. We
must not leave the work to nom
Germans"
While he did not so state, his
remark was interpreted to mean
Austria preferred to solve her
own problems without pressure
from Italy.
Austria's approval Of Vice
Chancellor Won Papen as regu-
larly accredited minister to
Vienna, though not as special
peace envoy of Hitler, has created
very good impression here and
resulted in definite improvement
of relations between Berlin and
Vienna. Won Papen probably will

QUELL RIOTS
IN ALGERIA
Officials Admit Many Horrors
Committed by Arabs; Deny
Trouble Is Spreading

ALGIERS, Algeria. Aug. 8
UN.SO. French authorities
tripled police lines around the
Jewish quarter here today to pre-
vent any recurrence Of anti-Sem-
itic rioting by the Arab popula-
ton, which in Constantine and
nearby cities has cost scores Of
lives amid scenes Of indescribable
horror.
Deny Riots Spreading
The officials meanwhile denied
the rioting had spread widely to
other Algerian cities and towns.
There had been rioting at Ain
Beida, so miles from Constantine,
on Monday, they admitted, in
which Jewish houses were burned
and 13 wounded, including five
Jewish men, six Jewish women,
one Arab and one native child.
They denied that there had been
deaths at Ain+Beida, as elsewhere
reported.
There was no inclination to
minimize the seriousness of the
situation, however, as sickening
reports Of the mutilations suf-
tered by the Jews came in.
Among the Jewish dead in the
morgue at Constantine were four
children under 10 years of age.
One was a 2-year-old baby. All
had their throatS cut.
Troops Patrol AIgiers
With much larger Jewish
population here, any outbreak in
Alg1ers would be even more serious
than the one in Constantine. How
ever, with the French authorities
realizing the situation and troops
with rifles parading the Ghetto,
one did not seem likely.
The intelligence department of
the French administration is in
vestigating to discover what new
influence among the Arabs turned
the common street fighting be-
tween the Arabs and the Jews
into such a horrible manifestation
Of bloodthirsty race warfare.

OLSON To FIGHT.
INJUNCTION
IN COURT
Employers Rap Compromises
Suggested by Mediator;
Troops Alert
By JAMES L. KILGALLEN

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 8 UN.SO.
Gov. Floyd B. Olson and the
Minneapolis employers involved in
the truck drivers strike viii tangle
in Federal Court tomorrow when
an Injunction suit brought II the
employers seeking to restrain the
governor from enforcing martial
law comes up for trial.
Governor Olson planned to re-
sist the efforts Of the employers to
force him to let up on military
rule in the strike, which the en-
ployers say is "stifling business"
and causing them losses Of many
thousands Of dollars.
Peace Rejected
The employers today showed no
indication Of meeting the peace
proposal offered by the Federal
mediators, Father Francis ]. Haas
and E. H. Dunnigan. On the con-
trary, they vigorously attacked the
Haas Dunnigan plan, asserting
that if they accepted it it would
be tantamount to surrendering to
Communism.
Communism, according to the
employers, is the big issue in the
strike. Joseph r. Cochran, chair.
man Of the employers advisory
committee, said in a radio ad-
dress last night that acceptance
of the Federal mediatorS' pro-
posal would enable the General
Drivers and Helpers Union to
claim a victory for its Commu-
niStic leadership"
The employers will never sur
render to Communism, as de-
manded in the Haas-Dunnigan
proposal, according to Mr.. Coch.
ran. He declared the plan is un-
just and unreasonable, in that it
asks the employers to discharge
men who have risked injury and
even death in their determine
ton to work.
Furthermore, according to Mr..
Cochran, the Haas-Dunnigan plan
provides increases in wages on
the heels Of raises granted less
than four months ago. Also it
provides that demands for still
more increases be granted.
AL these concessions, the
strikers contend, must be made
on demand Of the union before
elections are held to determine
whether the: workers really want
the union to represent them in
bargaining with the employers.
Haas Defends Stand
Father Haas replied mildly to
The charges of the employers. He
pointed out that on July as, the
Federal mediators outlined what
they regarded as a fair basis Of
settlement.
The National Guard, meanwhile,
was on duty watching closely that
employers should not obtain per.
mitS to operate any trucks other
than those carrying necessities,
such as milk, ice and fuel, and
commodities for hospitals.
Business continued to be hard
hit, and the outcome Of the bitter
labor dispute was a matter OF
conjecture.

MORALS CASE
DEFENSEENDS

LOS ANGELES, July %. UP -
Dave Allen, Hollywood casting ex-
ecutive, and Gloria Marsh, actress,
on trial on immortality charges,
rested their defense today after
prosecutors failed in cross-examin-
alton to shake the actress testi-
mony that they were framed
into a scene depicted by the state
as shockingly immoral.
Miss Marsh denied the story of
June De Long, film extra player
and star state witness, that they
and Allen INDUCED in degener-
ate orgy in Miss De Longs apart
ment last April 26.
| She reiterated a denial that they
were discovered in a compromis-
ing situation when Mrs. Pearl
Owings, another state witness,
walked into the apartment. She
said their conduct was above re-
proach.
In a final attempt to prove that
the entire scene was arranged in
an attempt to browbeat Allen into
giving Miss De Long, Mrs. Owings
and Pat Harman, an actor, film
Jobs, the defense summoned as its
final witness Charles McGinnis, an
attorney. McGinnis briefly testi-
fled that Allen had received sew
eral threats prior to the apart
ment incident.
With the defense resting, both
sides prepared closing arguments
expected to require at least another
day before the case reaches the
jury.
At the same time, the county
grand jury instituted an investi-
cation into reports that Harry
Adams, a minor state witness, had
been threatened. Adams told the
fury three men, including the

VAGUE REPORT
ON SHOOTING

A report of a shooting scrape
somewhere along the Colorado riv-
er, said to have happened yesterday
afternoon, was received at the
sheriff's office here this morning.
Details of the affair were lacking,
according to Sheriff George Camp
bell who said that the meagre re-
port merely stated that two Indians
were concerned in the affair, one
or both of whom had been wounded
but not seriously, by shotgun.
Sheriff Campbell said he sent
Fred Elliott, deputy, over to Ari-
zona today to work with Yuma
county officers on the Arizona side
of the river in investigating the
affair while other deputies will seek
information on the California side.
The report as received here did
not designate on which side of the
Colorado the incident was sup
posed TO have happened.
