Staying of Catholic
Leader Is Charged
To Nazis by Rome
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
VATICAN CITY. July 2.-Catholic
prelates announced today it had been
positively learned that the president
of the Berlin Catholic Action So
ciety, Herr Klausener, did not commit
suicide, as had been announced, but
was killed.
A painful impression has been pro-
duced here. prelates admit, by an
alleged attempt to involve directors of
the Catholic Action organization in
Saturdays events in Germany.
This attempt, prelates said. was so
absurd that in recent news from Berlin
it has been soft-pedaled.
Herr Klausener participated few
days ago in Catholic congress at
Berlin and made a closing address, in
which he affirmed. in the name OF
Catholics. their faith in their religion
and their devotion to their country.
On the other hand, prelates say. 1t
is easy to understand that political
opposition arose against Herr Klausener
because he was a director of the min
isterial police under Karl Severing,
former minister of the interior.

Hitler's Fist Strikes IN Midst
Of Political Cross Currents
Radicals and Conservatives Alike
Smashed as Nazi Chief Drives
ahead to Supreme authority.

cal thought. with monarchistic SYM
pathies. In addition to these two
groups there is the regular army
which is identified with President Won
Hindenburg.
The Storm Trooper group has felt
the brunt of the present decisive as
sertion of authority by Hitler. Some
of its leaders. the administration
charges, were plotting to seize con-
troll of the government, apparently
because of disgruntlement over Hit
ler's refusal to go along" with them
in some of the more radical phases
of 'remaking" Germany.
Church Is Attacked.
This 'remaking" of Germany. tc
the general principles of which Hitler
| is committed, includes the "elimina :
ton" Of non -Aryans. and the "Nazi-
flying" Of religion This latter move
ment, which strikes at Catholic and
Protestant alike. seeks to break the
power of the church wherever that
power might conflict with Nazi ma
tionaliSt aims.
While the objectives of the Storm
Troopers and the monarchists were
not the same, there appeared to be a
common ground in the reputed revolt
and that was the overthrow of Hitler
Gen. Won Schleicher, some sources
hold. may have felt that if the Storm
Troop revolters succeeded in taking
over the government. he might lead a
new movement which would reseat a
Hohenzollern and re-establish the
monarchy.
Won Papen's June II speech is pre-
sumed t. have encouraged Won
Schleicher to hope that he might
gain the support of Won Papen in a
monarchist move. Subsequent talks
by Won Papen, however. made it plain
that the vice chancellor was standing
with Hitler, and that his June II
speech had been meant only to cali
attention to alarming trends which he
felt the NaZi leader himself would
wish corrected.
1mmOralities Charged.
Stories of unspeakable immoralities
among certain Storm Troop leaders
have spread widely. In addition, for
elgn powers have frowned on the
Storm Troopers, holding them to be a
quasi-military organization and con-
sequently menace to European
peace. BY discrediting the Storm
Trooper leadership and virtually dis
banding the troops, Hitler has in a
measure moved toward quieting Eu-
ropes fears and at the same time has
told the world that he will not counte-
nance the immoral situation charged
to have existed.
Out Of it all has come the definite
gesture OF a mailed fist. Hitler has
indicated he intends to be the supreme
authority in Germany and that any
| conspirator against the Nazi party or
Nazi principles will be summarily dis
posed of.
The directness of his action against
Capt. Ernest Roehm, leader of the
Storm Troopers whom he ordered ex-
ecuted Saturday, and others accused
Of conspiracy, has indicated to both
his friends and foes that, rightly or
wrongly. Adolf Hitler is committed to
course as another Iron chancellor ~

labels. He then decides to 60 into
the lions den.
He rushed by car to Wiessee. With
out resistance he managed to get into
the house of Roehm (storm troop
leader and minister without port
folio).
with incompatible courage Hitler
carries out the arrests. Soon after
the arrest of Roehm his staff arrived
from Munich.
Hitler confronts them, tells them
in one sentence to 60 back to Munich.
They obey.
"Our return trip to Munich is dra-
matte. We meet cars coming with
Storm Troop leaders on their way to
a rebel conference.
Hitler awaits them personally,
then he speaks to the assembled lead
ers. 1t is an accusation against a
small group of rebels who enter rela-
tions with a foreign power, which
they hoped would aid them to ride
into power.
Calls Situation Nightmare.
"They were about to cast the en-
tire leadership into question. A night
mare hung over the whole nation.
People had begun to confuse the
patience of Hitler with weakness. But
Hitler was watching silently. Only
too often confdants had warned him
in speeches.

ness had to be done with severity"

cially since Roehm was the founder

nightly in them and transmitted his
faith to his men.
There was a strong belief that Hit
Ter. in stripping Roehm of power and
having him executed. had turned out
the man who had brought the organi-
zation to power.
From visiting the gathering places
of the stormers, it could be gathered
that the flush of marching in uni
form and the feeling of union in a
common cause had been battered
sadly.
Further internal trouble or a final
break up of the storm troops would
scatter its members to their original
allegiances on all sides of the political
half circle-from Communism to con-

Despite four weeks of intensive

Rheta Wynekoop, unhappy wife OF

Of the physician, was found slain on
the operating table in the basement
of DR.. Wynekoop's home, her cloth
ing almost entirely removed.
A bullet fired into her back had

Rheta was shot by a burglar who

ALL CITY BANKS

Every bank in indianapolis and
most of the state banks in Indiana
operating on an unrestricted basis,
have qualified for federal deposit

announced today by Herman Wells,
state banking department secretary.
Under the new federal law,
depositors of sums up to $4,000 in
these banks are insured against loss
up to $4,000, and, after july l, this
insurance will be increased to
$4,000.
Mr.. Wells reported that 341 state
banks, out of a total of 476 oper-
ating financial Institutions, applied
for deposit insurance. Only four
were turned down, nineteen failed
to apply, and seventy-six Glass B
banks were prevented from applying

Also ineligible are forty private
banks, stockholders of which, how
ever, are protected by an unlimited
liability of shareholders.

ELWOOD. Ind, Jan. "A three
story department store, occupying a
quarter of block in the Elwood
business section. was destroyed by
fire today at loss of at least
100000.
Fire departments from Elwood
Upton and Alexandria brought the
blaze under control shortly before
noon.
Several adjoining buildings, in
Guiding the Citizens bank, caught
fire and windows in other nearby
establishments were broken by the
intense heat.
The department store was owned
and operated by the R. L. Lesson
Company. Walls of the building
were pulled down by f1remen after
he interior had been consumed.
Adjoining buildings most seriously
damaged were the Citizens bank and
the Masonic hall. The bank was
badly burned. The flames also
spread to grocery store. a hotel
and drug store in the same block.
Elwood firemen found themselves
unable to cope with the blaze and
summoned aid. King Lesson, presi-
dent of the department store. said
that the 100000 estimate of dam
age was conservative.
