Conclusions Offered

After citing each individual trans
action, Mr.. Cleland offered certain
conclusions in the report, among
them being:
1T is difficult to escape the con-
clusion that prior to the merger of
the First National bank and the
Grant Trust and Savings Company
there was a general transfer and
unloading of bad securities by the
Grant Trust and Savings Company
into the guardianship estates.
THE Grant Trust and Savings
Company is guilty of bad faith IN
making investments in securities at
the time the investments were
made" is another conclusion con-
tanned in the report.
In a letter of transmiSSal of the
report to General Hines, Mr.. Gle
land set out the difficulties encoun-
tered in making the investigation
without power of subpoena.
Terming the whole affair "trag-
edy of errors Mr.. Cleland wrote.
Persons involved hedge. tack and
evade when approached. all of them
concede the situation is bad. All
zealously contend that error of
Judgment is the most that can be
made of it"

who is director of the Veterans
bureau. after making charges on
the house floor regarding the dwin-
died estates.
Bankers Are Accused
In transmitting the report to the
Veterans bureau Mr.. Cleland wrote
There isn't any question but
that bankers. acting as guardians,
used funds of these wards for their
own profit and for the purpose of
bringing into their bank cash, in
order to prevent the closing of the
banks door.
Secondly. there isn't any question
in my mind but whatR number of
officers and directors Of the banks,
individually, prof1ted at the expense
of insane veterans"
The Cleland report covers 353
pages and contains much of the
material appearing in the Times
expose of the situation published
some months ago.

Mr.. Griswold had MI Cleland
appear personally before the house

ing the report.

aWRIST WATCHo OF DRY ICE
DEVISED TO KEEP BODY COOL

There Is nothing messy about this
cooler. for the melting ice forms no
trace Of liquid. 1t evaporates into an
invisible gas. The Purdue studies show
that this cold carbon dioxide has a
somewhat soothing effect on the heart,
especially during high Temperatures.
The same device can be made In
other forms, to fit any portion Of the
body where cooling may be effective.
It can be formed as a bracelet and
worn either on wrist or ankle. It can
be set in a close-fitting necklace.
"The dry ice," description states,
maintains cool spot and extracts
heat from the blood flowing in the
artery.
This Is found to produce a cooling
Of the entire body, as the cooled blood
circulates through the body, and Is
Usually suficient to make person
wholly comfortable even In the hottest
weather.
"The same cooling device and proc
ess may be used in case Of fever pa
tients. The ahnormally hot blood is
cooled to or toward normal without
the discomfort and Inconvenience Of
cooling with colde gater or ice."

Mrs. Hastings body, two bullets
through the head, was found last

side a highway near Straudsburg,
Pa. Kent was arrested Saturday night
after the body had been identified,
and was formally charged with kid
naping and murder.
Kent, in charging he had been
attacked by police, said he had
tainted twice from the beatings.
Authorities denied he had been sub
jected to a third degree, but admitted
he had tainted. They said cold water
had been thrown over him in an

left lying on the floor to recover.
Kent told newspaper men he had
eaten only q piece of cake since being

schools, to take the place of the pres
ent emergency relief measures, in an
address today before the second gen
eral session Of the National Education
Associations seventy-second annual
meeting.
A permanent Federal subsidy has
been the bugaboo of many congress

who fear control of education by the
National Government, other speakers
said.
DR.. zook was supported In his view
by John K. Norton of Columbia Uni

Federal Government should assist the
States in providing an acceptable

BERLIN, July 2.-The list of execu-

well authenticated prediction that

cal pot into new fury.
Hitler May Be President.
Among variously reported plans for
the future of Chancellor Hitler's po-
litical regime was one that Hitler will
assume the presidency of Germany on
the death of Won Hindenburg, Ger
manys grand old man of war and
peace, who is i'll at his home in
Neudeck.
A bold stroke from President Won
Hindenburg today, calling the Reichs-
wehr to the defense of Vice Chan
cellor Won Papen's safety, was quickly
followed by advices from usually well
informed quarters that the vice chan
cellor would resign or would be ousted
at the instigation of Chancellor Hit
Ter. probably tomorrow.
President Won Hindenburg. who
earlier in the day had sent his con-
gratulations and blessings to both
Hitler and Goering, threatened state
of siege if Won Papen were victimized
for his recent bold stand in criticiZing
some Nazi policies.
A guard of special Blackshirt SOL
diers was delegated to insure Won
Papan's safety after Hindenberg S
warning.
The ultimate fate of the vice chan
cellor, bitter conservative critic of
the Nazi methods, had become a ques-
ton of burning moment in Germany.
The President from his retreat in
Neudeck, telegraphed the chancellor: {:
"You have saved the German peo-
pie from serious dangers. I express
to you my deep thanks and graft

and rightists opposed to the Nazi re-
gime, included Werner Won Alvensle-
ben, Won Papen's close friend. The
vice chancellor's adjutant, Friedrich
Won Tschirsky, was reported to have
committed suicide. Won Papen's Sec
retary, Hubert Won Bose, was said to
have gone the same way.
Others close to Won Papen were said
to have been given the alternative of
doing away with themselves or facing
the firing squad.

LA FAYETTE, Ind. July "A new
wrist watch" which will keep the
whole body cool in hot weather was
announced today at Purdue Uni

The device looks like watch, but
instead of keeping time incloses a
pellet Of dry ice, or solid carbon di-
oxide, at 100 degrees below zero.
The effects are the same as dipping
the wrists in cold water, a favorite
hot-weather trick, or Of keeping o

Dry ice s.burns" the skin almost in

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, July Fear rode the
streets of Berlin today and deepened
the hue of blue Monday as reports
of further disturbances were whis-
pered about.
Everyone fears the secret police.
Crowds filed past the Wilhelm
strasse Building in which Chancellor
Hitler, with Ministers Goering and
Goebbels were giving orders for literal
determination of all those suspected
of connection with anti-Nazi party
plotting.
Police Ready to Act.
Police marched by twos, with rifles
on their shoulders, ready for instant
action If 1t were needed.
The mystery Of what was going on
inside the buildings on the Wilhelm
strasse remained as deep as ever for
the man in the street. Little informa-
ton could be had beyond quietly ped
died rumors.
1t was apparent to all that Hitler
and Goering were, in the present sit
uation at least, firmly in the saddle.
With principal leaders of the op-
position already dead and other
shootings rumored hourly, opposing
forces had no directing heads to lead
them into action.
Government buildings were still
heavily guarded. The black-shirted
Schultz Staffel, Goering's special
guardsmen, were held in readiness for
any emergency.
Berlin was going about its business.
but the atmosphere was still tensely
charged as rumors foated back and
forth through the streets.
In these rumors France emerged as
the mysterious foreign power" which
Hitler charged Saturday with having
been In communication with the con-
spirators against him.
Embassy Denies Rumor.
The French embassy denied fatty
that the French government had any
connection with the conspiracy, but
the rumors continued in circulation.
Among the kaleidoscope develop
ments Of the day was the arrest of
Maj. Mueldner Won Muelmheim, for
many years adjutant to the former
Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm, who
was taken into custody because of his
known friendship for Gen. Kurt Won
Schleicher. The latter, former chan
cellor and firm monarchist, was killed
resisting arrest" Saturday.
Quarters close to the government
indicated they felt the Hohenzollern
house was in no way implicated and
that Won Muelheim's arrest was on
purely personal basis.
In this connection it was pointed
out that the whole former imperial
family appeared to be keeping strictly
out of the situation. No member
would make even the slightest COM
ment.
Scores Under Arrest.
Scores of Nazi Storm Troop sub
leaders, possibly hundreds, have been
arrested throughout Germany in
Chancellor Hitler's ruthless ''house
cleaning" it was learned today.
The sub-leaders were arrested in
wholesale fashion, after a week end
Of violence which saw a number of

Estimates of arrests ranged from
100 to several hundred, with official
figures withheld. Men accused of
