 TO ALMA MATER
Haufstengl Couldn't Find Anybody at College to
 Receive Gifts

Cambridge. Mass, July 3-U.P.) Its almost impossible, Dr Ernest F. S. Hanfstaengal has discovered, to present a gift to Harvard Uni versity (endowment-$11 1000, 0,00O Americas richest institution of learning. A month or so ago he offered his alma mater a $1,000 scholarship to bear his name. Har- yard informed him regretfully that only scholarships of $10,000 or more could carry the donors name. Still eager to give something to Harvard, Hitler's jovial aide drove up to the university in taxi-caA yesterday, bent on presenting buSts of: President von Hfndenb0rg; the Philosopher Schopenhauer; the musician Willibald Ritter Won Gluck.
 This, take it from Herr Hanf- staengl, was a load on a hot day, even for a man of his 236 pounds of ruggedness. The doctor was chagrined to discover that liar yard has closed for the summer. In vain he hunted the empty corridors for a recipient for his gifts. Finally he happened on Professor Edward Burlingame Hill, head of the mu- sic department. There. Sans cere- mony, Putty" thrust into his arms the bust of Won Gluck. remarking that it was a peculiarly appropri- ate gfiift since it was the 220th an- niversary of the musician's birth.
 "Putzy" perspiring freely. still found himself burdened with Won Hindenburg and Schopenhauer, however. and try as he would be could find no corridor-roamer in- terested in German political-war- riors or philosophers. So finally, more or less philosophically. he loaded these busts into another cab and drove away.

 Berlin. July = (UP) -A A new wave of anti-semitism in Nazi Germany was halted by the storm troop revolt. it was indicated to- day.
 The most important factor in the halting of the campaign was the tremendous strengthening or the position of Hermann Goerings minister of aviation.
 Another was the lessened influ- ence of cabinet members who fav- ored strong action against Jews.
 Thirdly was the likelihood that the Nazis would be too busy with other problems in the immediate future to emphasize opposition to mon Aryan" elements.
 There were several notorious enemies of Jews among the storm troops leaders involved in Satur- days revolt; their elimination was not an important thing, because there were many left in the storm troop and party leadership.
 As Adolf Hitler and Goering were dealing with the rebel storm troop leaders Saturday, Julius Streichers, one of the most vocal enemies Of Jews, was saying in speech that Jews remained the eternal sene- mics" of Germany.
 But Goering was believed un-t likely to permit anything to in-

 In making up the present liquor control act the legislature merely set up license fees for brewers, wholesalers and retailers in Con necticut. They left the out-of-state brewers and wholesalers free ana clear to bring their products into Connecticut without having to re- imburse the city, county or state coffers a bit.
 "This state should set up a re- ciprocal provision whereby out-of- state brewers would pay a license fee so that they could dispense their products in Connecticut, said Representative John D.

 Boycott Ends

Philadelphia, July S-(UP)-- A threat to close 75 movie theaters here in two weeks unless the church boycott against moving pie lures is lifted was made today to Leonard Schlessinger, manager Tor Warner Brothers.

 Card inal Dougherty several weeks ago ordered all Catholics in his arch diocese to boycott moving picture theaters until the movie industry had eliminated immoral and crime pictures from circula- ton.
 The move by the Catholic church was followed, in part, by a mum Der of other denominations. Mi,i- isters recommended that thei' congregations avoid attending shows that could be classed as Suggestive of crime or indecency'
 Movie theater owners reported that since the church drive, at- tendance at Q number of theaters had fallen off to an alarming de- gree." 2f4

Uy SnAhSo
 London, July 3-(UP)-Charges by the Hitler government that the late General Kurt Won Schleicher and his fellow conspirators were dealing with an unnamed foreign power received substantiation to- day from the diplomatic represen- tative of an important European power.
 "On the basis of sensational in formation now available" he told the United Press. "the Schleicher conspiracy designed to overthrow Hitler had wide remifications, ana indications point to connections n France" (Von Schleicher and his wife were slain in Berlin on Sat urday while resisting arrest.)
 Thinly Yelled Charge
 The official German version or the plot failed to name the nation alleged to have been involved. although the entire account was regarded as a thinly yelled refer- ence to France. The report was ridiculed abroad. and the French government, after demanding thai Hitler name the power. issued categorical denial of any associa- ton with the alleged conspirators.
 The diplomat who claims to have inside knowledge of the affair however, goes so far as to claim that a ''well-known German jour nalist in Paris acted as the go. between with Won Schleicher ana the French authorities"
 Hlndenberg Knew It
 He believes that the revelation of this evidence induced the aged President Paul von Hindenburg. as a matter of patriotism and pride to dispatch his telegrams to Hitler
