The tragic and dramatic past few
DAYS have weighed heavily upon Won
Papen. for he was kept a prisoner by
the Nazis until cleared of suspicion
that he had part in the Storm
Trooper conspiracy against the gov
ernment and today his home con-
tinued under surveillance.
Nearly Exhausted.
Cabinet ministers who saw him yes
terday. when he called on Hitler before
a cabinet meeting-which, signifi-
cantly. he did not attend-said the
vice chancellor was haggard and
nearly exhausted from the bitter
strain.
Once this issue is disposed OF Hitler
is expected to devote much attention
TO grave financial problems, which
involve possibly trade wars with
France and England as a result OF
Germany's debt moratorium.
The army appears to be more and
more the winner of the counter
revolutionary movement
The country has turned definitely

praised Storm Troop leaders before
their execution now denounce them
as conspirators.

Communists before joining the Nazis.
There was still no official contirma-

BERLIN. July with a crisp
Get aWsy-YOu are too stupid to
have done anything - Prussian Premier
Hermann Wilhelm Goering is reported
to have absolyed Prince August Will
helm, fourth SON of the ex-Kalser,
from completely in the German coup
says the Exchange Telegraph News
Agency.
The words were said to have been
uttered at the end of a close question
ing 10 which the prince, former Nazi
member Of the Reichstag, was sub
jected following the rounding up Of
the princes close friend, Karl Ernst
Berlin Storm Troop leader, and others.
Ernst met MS death. repOrtedly at
the hands OF a firing squad The
prince Is believed to be il Berlin.
Evening star., 1934-07-04

Gen. Won Dommes, head of the
Hohenzollern administration here
denied fiatly last night the report that
Former Crown Prince Frederick Will
helm had been expelled and had
gone to Doom by airplane.
LAS a matter of fact" said the
general Il talked over business mat
ters with his imperial highness this
very morning.
He had no idea of leaving Ger
many. Why should he? Not a
shadow of suspicion falls on the
Crown Prince"
A Catholic priest, Father Muhler
was reported to have been killed in
a cell where he was confined on a
charge of criticiZing Hitler.
Two members of the radical press
department of the Storm Troopers
were similarly added TO the unofficial
and unconfirmed list of the dead.
The growing Importance OF the
ReichsWar in the scheme Of things
was emphasized by an expression of
gratitude from Adolf Wagner. Nazl
district leader who is believed by
many to have initiated the bloody
purge of the party.
Closer study of the names of those
shot as traitors" made it apparent
today that the revolt" was planned
by three groups, not working to-
gether, but kept mutually informed
of plans by go-betweens.
One group was said to have been
represented by Roehm, another by
Gen. Kurt Won Schleicher former
premier, and the third by Eric
KlauSener head OF the Catholic Ac-
ton party
Roehm and his fellow conspirators
wanted bigger places III the govern
ment, particularly III the Reichswehr,
and also wanted more radical eco
nomic policieS-they have been called
national bolsheviks.
The Won Schleicher group regarded
the foreign policy Of Hitler as dam
gerous and believed suppression OF Tree
speech and free press should cease.
This second group advocated the same
policies as Won Papen, but the gov
ernment has formally abSolVed the
vice chancellor of guilt.
On behalf OF the dead KlauSener,
there have been vigorous denlals that
he was engaged in any political ac-
tiVity, but ii is known he and many
other churchmen were greatly dis
turbed by the antiChristian trend
ot some Nazi leaders.
The seriousness Of the throwing Of
! disbanded Storm Troopers Oh the
abor market at this time Is fully
realized by Hitler and bis colleagues,
but the possible enlargement OF the
ReichSWehr, which may result, bright
ems the picture.
The hope that France and other
powers will permit the enlargement
Of the RelchSWehr as a result Of the
dissolution OF the Storm Troopers
Is strong in NaZl circles.

D. c. FILMS SCORED
BY CHURCHWOMEN.
Catholic, Jewish and Prot

uation DiSgraCefuI.

Washington churchwomen-repr
tenting ca atholic. Jewish and Protest
ant faiths-aeree that the motion
picture situation in the District is
disgraceful, due to unrestricted dis
play Of all types of pictures. good, bad
and Indifferent
The agreement quoted above is a
part of a series of resolutions adopted
Yesterday when the group OF women
met in the Office of Wilbur J. IaRoe.
ir. chairman of the Committee on
Civic Affairs of the Washington Fed
Grafton of Churches.
Pledge Their support.
The women from the Protestant and
Jewish groups pledged their support
in the fight against indecent movies
already being waged bv the Catholic
groups. headed locally by the Sodality
Union and its Legion of Decency.
The campaign was outlined by Mrs.
Kathryn Kirk. representing the Cath
Ole groups, which we're set in motion
to carry out recommendations made
at last Falls meeting of the country s
Catholic bishops
The conclusions of the committee
set forth:
Even where good picture is
shown. it is often spoiled by another
undesirable film shown al the same
performance or by questionable vaude-
vile acts accompanying it.
IT is the confident and unanimous
belief of the committee that the
ma iority of people do not want indie
cent or SalaciouS motion pictures, and
that if Intelligent guidance is provided
by the religious groups. pictures of
an undesirable type will not be well
patronized.
1t is unanimously agreed that the
most important first step is an edu-
Cational program reaching the par
entS and children. This will be ac-
complshed through the distribution
OF pledges to be signed by thousands
of children and their parents through
out the Nations Capital and by ap-
propriate action of the several
churches.
Pledges already have been circu-
lated by the Catholic interests whose
campaign against indecent motion
pictures already is producing results
The path which they have blazed will
be followed by the other religious
groups.
Block Booking" Scored.
The practice of compulsory pur-
chase of films under the block booking
system is condemned
Parents are urged not to permit
their children to attend downtown
movies alone or to attend any theater
unless the parents are assured as to
the character of the film
Those present at the meeting were
besides Mrs. Kirk. Mrs w O. Tufts.
representing the Womens Council Of
the Washington Federation o.
Chm ches; Mrs. F. A. Linzel. Bethesda

Mrs. Louis Gutenberg, the Jewish
groups, and Mr.. La Roe
One of the pledges under considera =
ton by the group follows:
Recognizing the harmful effect OF
indecent motion pictures. especially
upon young people. 1 solemnly promise
to cooperate with the Washington
Federation of Churches and other
interested groups in their efforts to
bring about the showing of only sucn
films as are clean and wholesome. !

performance without first determining
its character. If I see an indecent

consider it my duty to discourage my
friends from attending it"
