Nazis Seen Changing.
Heretofore, in the government anti
Nazi drive, Socialists have supported
Chancellor Dollfuss. They disap-
proved Of his policies, but considered
his regime the lesser of two evils.
The Socialist turn to Nazi-ism,
whatever its extent throughout Aus
tria, is said to be based on the belief
the Nazls offer the party more than
does the government.
Another aspect to the situation is
that many officials, while conceding
that majority of Socialists were en-
bittered in the disorders. contend
many Nazis are coming over to the
government because they are con-
vinced now of its ability to do any
thing Chancellor Hitler has done.
Martial Law Lifted.
Martial law was ordered lifted to-
day after having been in effect
throughout the recent days of revolu-
tionary fighting.
Thus, the government indicated 1t
was sure of its position despite a Nazi
ultimatum that party members be
given government positions within
eight days
Pending government reply 10 the
ultimatum. delivered by Theodore
Hablcht. adviser of the Austrian
Nazis, party members were ordered
to withhold all attacks of any nature
on the Dollfuss regime.
A few Austrian newspapers boldly
advocated a return to reason" in
commenting today on the Nazi ulti-
matum.
Germans Future at Stake.
With this editorial plea they
coupled the urge that peace be estab-
lished with the NaZis before the coun-
try is plunged into new and disas-
trous strife.
The Morgenzeitung, published at
Linz, said:
Now is no time to argue over who
was to blame (for the civil war;, or
who is right in saying I told you So
What is at stake now is the future
Of German folk in Austria"
At the same time the Innsbruck

partment $8.000.000.
Experts are said to have testi-
ned before the grand jury that these
supplies would bring at least $4,000, 900
on an open market today. Silver
man, however, contends the supplies
contracted for were useless" to the
Government and that the deal would
have been advantageous to the War
Department.
The grand jury also summoned TO-
day Col. Earl Mcfarland of the Army
War College, who was executive officer

Assistant War Secretary. Col McFar-
land was to be questioned about the
Silverman underwear deal.
Mrs. Kate Buckingham, private sec

this morning Tor further information
regarding a diary" of conferences
held in Woodring's Office during the
past several months. This confidential

said to have proved of great interest
to the jurors
Another witnesse called today was
Maj. Myron C. Cramer of the Judge
Advocate Generals Office. 1t was
expected he was to be asked about
rulings of that Office against such
trading propositions as Silverman's.
In the meantime. Department of

Is wanted for questioning about his
alleged efforts to sell the Govern

truck.
officials have learned that Speicher
succeeded in selling the previous ad-

on White House automobiles. There
are reports that the tires proved un-
satisfactory and were replaced.
The grand jury plans to adjourn
this afternoon until Monday. when
Woodring is scheduled to make a Sec

former national commander of the
American Legion, probably will appear
Tuesday as the last witness, in re-

OPPOSE EVICTIONS
Textile Unions Ask Delay Until
State Board Action.

AUGUSTA, Ga, February 21 P.-
Textile unions at Langley and Bath,

asking approval of a bill prepared
for the South Carolina Legislature
to hold up evictions of workers dur
ing the present emergency until the
State board can pass on individual
cases, a special dispatch to the Au-
gusta Herald says.
The workers resolution said the peo-
pie who are being evicted are on the
preferred list" for employment by
action Of the State Textile Industrial
Relations Board and that when evict-
ed they are ''in the street, with no
where to CO."
Yesterday workers who did not go

Then if the Senate should fail the
administration there always is in the
background the insurmountable OBJ
stacle Of a presidential veto.
The administration might permit

Roosevelt-Big Bad Wolf.
1t happened some weeks ago. but
only four people knew about the story
and they kept it under cover.
A representative Of the electric
power companies offered his code and
insisted on maintaining its provisions.
One provision would have given the
Code Control Board Jurisdiction over
public utilities. Mr.. Roosevelt put his
foot down on that
The representative insisted he could
not change the code, because he was
only an emissary under specific in
structionS to accept no changes. He
was run around town from Office to
office for several days crying: What
shall tell my people?" He used the
same line finally in conference with
Mr.. Roosevelt. What shall ! tell my
people?"
The President leaned back in his
chair, stroked his chin, and re-
piled: "Oh, Just tell them there's
big bad 1Dolf il, the White House." -
Labor Secretary Perkins was an hour
late in appearing to testify before the
House Labor Committee a few days
ago. Congressman sat around twid-
ding their thumbs, growing more irri-
tated every minute.
The very next day William Green
of the American Federation of Labor
appeared on time to testify, but the
committee members were exactly an
hour late in assembling. Mr.. Green
twiddled.
The new deal apparently has not
settled the matter of punctuality. Per-
haps 1t is still fashionable to be late,
and then again, perhaps it depends on
who is late.

HIGH LIQUOR PRICE
WILL Be PRObED
Inquiry Authorized by Presi.
dent Also to Include
BootIegger.

BY ahe Associated Press
President Roosevelt and his aides
are concerned over continued activity
of bootleggers and are investigating
the prices of legal liquor
This was made known today as
newsmen gathered at the Presidents
semi-weekly press conference.
Joseph Choate, administrator of
the Federal Alcohol Control Board,
has reported imports are far below
expectations.
b The administration is seeking TO
determine if there is a shortage of
supplies, necessitating the high price
Of liquors, against which considerable
complaints are being made
Lower Tariff Proposed.
A suggestion has been made for
lowering the tariff on liquor imports
as one method Of approaching the
problem.
Whatever happens, 1t was empha-
sized that Mr. Roosevelt wants to put
the bootleggers out Of business. To
that end, q serious study is now in
progress.
The F. A. c. A. for the second time
yesterday opened the door to Amer
ican-type rye and bourbon whiskies,
hoping for importation OF a large
quantity of the liquors known to be
on hand in foreign countries.
This, the administration hoped,
would reduce prices to consumers,
clrtail bootleg operations and liquor
smuggling from Mexico and "facili-
tate the efforts Of the State monopo-
lies to stock their numerous stores
with good type Of whiskies."
New Order.
The new order will let any holder
Of an alcoholic beverage importing
permit bring In any quantity Of the
whiskies from any country for resale
to rectifiers for blending. It will be
effective until April l, covering i'm
portations in bottles for sale to con-
sumner as well as bulk whisky.
Large quantities, the administration
said, are on hand in Canada and
British Honduras and smaller amounts
in Mexico, Germany and Cuba.
The administration is understood
to be hopeful revival of the rum in
dustry in the Virgin Islands will be
of some help in bringing about better
conditions. Already s1000,000 has
been turned over to the island to
organize a corporation to produce and
market st. Croix rum, famous
throughout the world before prohibi-
ton.
It Is understood that Puerto Rico
also will manufacture rum.

Action on these points was taken
last night at a general assembly OF
the school. eliminating the annual
Student Economic Conference, which
began last Friday. Only three of the
six topics considered in the commit
tees were reported The rest will be
presented at another assembly to-
night.
The student body was divided into
committees, each of which was as
signed one of the six topics. They
were: Far Eastern Policy Of the
United States" Future Economic
Policy Of the United States, Merchant
Marine and Subsidies" Plat Amend
ment and Relations With Cuba, Ma
tional Defense and Disarmament"
and "the Future of the American DOL
lar"
The student body rejected the pro-
posal of the Far East Committee for
recognition of the Manchukuo, and
for joint guarantee of the independ-
ence of the Philippines by Japan and
the United States. However, it did
approve proposals for admission of
Orientals to the United States on
quota basis, and revival of the Lam
sing-Ishii agreement of 1917, by which
the United States recognized the spe-
cial interests and hegemony Of Japan
in Eastern Asia.
The majority report urging contin-
uance of the principles of the N R. A.
beyond the period of the emergency,
by amendment OF the Constitution II
necessary. was rejected, and a minor
ity report, limiting governmental
regulation, control, or ownership of

TINE big airlines have quieted

reason.
L A cool-headed faction among
them decided the industry was
wrong in the way it handled the
Roosevelt-Farley airmail cancellation
program at the start. This faction is
confessing sotto voice that the Lind
bergh protest and the New York court
suit were tactical blunders.
Such actions merely inturiated
the administration authorities and
put them in position ,Dhere
sensible compromise mould be en-
barrassing. In the face OF such
tactics the administration could
not concede anything ,oithout sur
rendering its ,Dhole position.

rash again, but not as long as they
believe there is a chance to get their
contracts back. They will take stiff
cut in rates and promise to be good.
Little Change in Belgium.
The new Belgian King, Leopold, was

He was not permitted to sow any wild

He is popular among his people, but
in a rather impersonal sort of way.
He is not known, for instance, in the
same way the British know the Prince
Of Wales. For that reason he has not
had a chance to be revered in the
same way his father was
His ascendancy will make little diff
ference in international policy. There
is no chance for the Germans to gain
a foothold in Belgium, although they
would like to.

Worlds Champion Held Epen By Connecticut Title HoLde,

 CONFIDENT OF
 TRACK VICTORY
Bernie Moore Points the Team for National
 Championship

Baton Rouge, La (UP)-With Endiana's scalp in the locker room, Coach Bernie Moore has high hopes that the Louisiana State Uni- versity track team will finish the season by winning its second con- secutive national collegiate cham |pionship.
 Judged by early season per- formances, the Tiger squad is rated to win the Southeastern Confer- ence title again.
 Building an aggregation around Jack Baby Face" Torrance and Gleen "Slats'' Hardin, Moore is de- veloping point-winners to replace Matt Gordy and Al Moreau, who accounted for IS of the teams 5S points at the Nationals in Chicago.
 Torrance won the shotput and tied for third in the discus. In the Southwestern relays last month, the big senior added eight points to the 52 feet, 10-inch mark that gained him laurels in the 1883 Nationals. This mark places him in a class to himself and observers predict he will supass 54 feet this year. Torrance also is improving steadily in the discus event.
 Hardin's winning performances In the low hurdles and the quar- ter-mile brought 20 points of the L. s. U. total in the National.
 Hardin is one of the six great est track stars of all time, and Torrance one of the 12 greatest" Is Coach Moore's rating of the two Louisiana aces.
 Although there is no Tiger that promises to fill Matt Gordy's shoes by clearing IA feet and winning the pole vault, several on the squad are developing into topnotchers in other events.
 John Lehman gave Charley Hornstobei of Indiana, king of collegiate half-milers, a great race in the dual meet and should be clocking around 1851 when the squad entrains for the Nationals in California. Hugh Saxon, 125- pound sophomore, looks like the find of the season. Just IF, he has been clipping off the 100syard dash in less than 10 seconds.
 saxon has the finest leg action of any sprinter ever saw," Moore asid, land I am working to length en his stride and build him up."
 Nathan Blair, who placed fourth at the Nationals in the jav- elin, is hurling the spear more than 200 feet in early tries.

New Haven, Conn, April 24 = (UP) - A few years in the brick making business developed for Al Gainer, New Haven Negro, the wallop which won him a draw in the 10 round feature bout with Maxie RosenbIoom, light-heayy- weight champion, at the New Ha- ven arena last night.
 Champj Cut Up
 Maxie, his title not at stake, put on a fine exhibition of boxing, but 1t was Gainer who landed the tefi- ing blows. In the third round. the champion received a cut over his right eye. His f1icking punches. noisy but ineffective, were enough to throw Gainer off balance and keep him from getting set for g left hook that had Maxie worried in at least three rounds.
 The referee scored three rounds apiece Tor each of 1.-the contestants and chalked up four draws.
 Good Prelims
 Steve Carr of Meriden was much too strong and effective for Leo Larrivee of Waterbury, winning an easy eight round decision in tho semifinal bout. Jack Renault of New Haven and "Bu1r' Davis of New London fought to bloody six round draw in the best fight of the card, which drew 5.956 paid customers and a gross of $5,917.

NEBRASKAN SEEKS TO TAME
 GROAN AND GRUNT MATCHES

Lincoln, Neb (UP)-Paul w. Doerr, city commissioner, who had not seen a wrestling match since the days when Frank Gotch ruled the roost, attended the modern version of the old game the other night and promptly decided Lin- coin needed a wrestlers' code.
 Doerr sat through an evening and saw men propelled through the air and into the aisles. He watched, astounded, while these same men kicked each other in the midriff, took occasional bites at each other, and absent mindedly put their feet in each others faces.
 "I'm no advocate of blue laws" said Doerr, "but I don't think a little regulation would hurt the sport. It can be fast and inter- esting without the present legal ized smayhem. don't mind an occasional kick, but this tossing of heavyweight wrestlers at the spec tators Is too much."
 Doerr believes he can get an ordinance adopted that will take much of the acrobatics out of wrestling.
