WarShip Ready

bY ChtteH PfcS6
ANNAPOLIS, Md, June 30.-The
U. S. S. Houston rode at anchor
today, spick-and-span, waiting for
President Roosevelt.
The craft was given last going
over by Captain w. B. Woodson and
pronounced ready for the COM
mander- in-chief who is expected
aboard at p. m. tomorrow.
Chief attraction on the cruiser
was the special bed, seven feet, four
inches long, provided in the
admirals cabin for the President.
On it was a sign:
Lay off this bed, please"
That, officers said, was because
the sailors seeing the magnificent
long bed just couldn't resist the
temptation of trying it out when
assigned to do a bit of painting or
polishing in the Presidents quarters.

PRESIDENT OFF
TOMORROW ON
LONG SEA TRIP
Executive LaborS to Clear
Desk Before Going
Aboard Ship.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, June 30.-Ons
more session of bill signing, vetoing
and appointing and President
Roosevelt will take to the high seas
and let the salt breezeS blow away
memories of a sweltering Washing
ton and months of hammering away
at his recovery program.
The President will sail at p m.
tomorrow from Annapolis aboard
the cruiser u. S. S. Houston. A full
month will pass before he returns.
Today he will clear from his desk
the last of the legislative business
left him by the Seventy-third con-
greSs. This includes action on the
Frazier-Lemke farm mortgage bill
and the railroad pension act.
Also today or possibly tomorrow
he will name the five men who will
administer the control of securities
and exchanges and the seven who
will control the nations commune
cations. He is expected to pick n
committee to study a permanent
commercial aviation policy.
The best guess today appeared to
be that the President would veto
the Frazier-Lemke measure and
sign the rail pension bill. Mr.. RooSe-
welt said yesterday he had deter
mined his action on both bills but
needed more time to prepare state
mentS explaining his views.
Legality Is Doubted
Both bills were damned through
closing sessions of congress. Doubt
has been expressed as to the conSti-
tutionality of the farm proposal and
Attorney-General Homer S. Cum
mings has given it close study.
The bill would allow farmers to
cut down the amount of their mort
cages through reappraisals on a
fair value" basis and would give
them six years freedom from fore
closure.
The rail pensions act would give
annuities to all workers employed
thirty years or reaching the age of
IS. 1t provides for joint contribu-
tions by workers and management.
Speculation has been widespread
regarding the personnel of the Sc
curities commission. but the White
House has given no hint of the
membership.

Stahleim or Steel Helmet (waI
veteran) - summoned all storm
troop leaders there.
They went inside this morning
Reichswehr men and armed SIS men
quietly surrounded the . building
Machine guns were turned out to-
ward the street. 1t was a coup, but
by Hitler.
Second Revolution Ended
He had found that the SIS men
the state police or gendarmes, as
highly disciplined as the army, and
the army itself were loyal to him.
He ordered that the storm troop
vacations should start at noon today
instead of at midnight.
At 1890 p. m. Hitler's new force
cooperating for the first time in
seventeen months of NaZziiSm as a
unit behind the leader, began NOV
ing quietly through the streets here
and in other towns to occupy storm
troop headquarters.
BY midafternoon Captain Herman
Goering was able to announce:
The second revolution has begun
and ended. Hitler is stronger than
ever"
1t all happened so quietly that
none in the streets of Berlin knew
what is was about.
Children played in the streets just
outside the cordons of the new Hit
Ter men around the mutineers

did not look like mutiny. 1t
might have been just another of the
many mysterious NaZi moves that
do not reach the newspapers here,
though they are known to the world
outside.
Little Men Know Nothing
1t was typical of conditions that
Goering said in his talk to news
paper men after the occupation:
You may see some disturbances
during the day. You are advised
that they are not to be published
in Germany"
Ordinary storm troopers, the men
who took Hitler to power, knew
nothing of the turmoil in the upper
ranks. They knew there was an
argument, but they did not know
Hitler's political life was at stake.
Occasionally one of them would
walk by in the crowd in his uni
form and give his Nazi salute to a
state policeman on guard. In many
instances the police did not return
the salute.
Reichswehr Men on Guard
Around the streets patrolled more
and more Reichswehr men. 1t was
obvious some had been imported
for the emergency.
Supplementing them we're the state
police and the crack SIS men. These
had rifles Slung from their Shout
derS. They are not supposed, under
the Versailles treaty, to be armed.
Goering for the occasion wore his
steel blue fier's uniform. He was
accompanied, significantly, by
Reichswehr officers and his own SIS
men.
Also significantly DR.. Paul Joseph
Goebbels, minister of propaganda,
the fiery orator whose "anti-grum-
bling campaign precipitated the
crisis, was not present, nor were any
of his officials.
The exact number of arrests and
suicides was not available, and it
was not known how many had been
summarily executed, if any.
