President Roosevelt's Recovery
Administration was enter ing
another stage today with Admins
traitor Hugh S. johnson preparing
to relinquish his dictatorial reign
over the NRA.
General johnson revealed that
he had recommended a board Of

chief director of the recovery pro-

a member Of the board if "the
President thinks he needs me, "
but expressed the wish to return
to private life.

According to General johnson,
the new set-up for the guidance

DEALERS ASK
HOURS CURB
ON LIQUOR
Extra Help Required Proves
Burden, Merchants Say;
Change Unlikely

The Commissioners and the Al.
coholic Beverage Control Board
have been importuned to cut the
selling hours for nquor.%
But neither the w. c. T. U. nor
the Anti-Saloon League nor any
other reform group has asked to
close the liquor stores at 10 p. m,
instead of midnight. To the
amazement of the A. B. c. Board
the request has come from the
liquor business itself.
The idea of cutting off the last
two hours Of the liquor sellers day
was first put up to the A. B. c.
Board by M. j. Davis. attorney,
who acts as secretary for the liq.
uor dealers organization in the
District Of Columbia.
Board May Disappoint
Mr.. Davis informed the board
members that he believed it would
be easier to enforce the 10 o'clock
closing than it is to enforce the
midnight closing, but the board
members replied that with the ex.
perience they have had so far they
are not anxious to return to the
old 10 o'clock limit, which in the
experience of the board was ex.
tremely hard to enforce.
The shorter hours request comes
from the exclusive" liquor deal.
ers, that is, stores which sell moth
ing but bottled goods. They find
that the extra two hours causes
them to hire extra employees while
delicatessen stores and grocery
stores which keep open until mid
night anyhow, can carry on a bot
tied goods business without extra
help.
Offutt Opposes Idea
Chairman Offutt, of the A. B. C.
Board, does not give much en-
couragement to the idea Of going
back to the 10 o'clock closing. He
said:
"Our experience was that it
was almost impossible to en-
force the 10 o'clock rule. Many
places sell food and liquor and
stay open until midnight. 1t
was almost impossible to be sure
that these places which keep
open anyhow would stop selling
q portion Of their wares at 10
o'clock.
"AnyOne who doesn't want to
sell liquor after 10 O'Clock does
mot have to. Liquor stores are
not compelled to remain open
until midnight; they can close
any time they like. Those who
do not like the midnight hour
can close shop at 10 o'clock
without waiting for an order
from the A. B. C. Board"

Helen is believed to have used

a shirt to engineer her latest
escape.
Helen was working in the prison
strawberry patch with other
prisoners when she seemed to be
seized with q sudden illness. She
asked the matron if she might
go to the prison hospital for
treatment. Helen entered the
hospital and that was the last
seen Of her.
Helen's bids for freedom have
usually been as brief as they
were spectacular and a net of

of the G. and H. Manufacturing
Company, makers of mems cloth"
ing, were thrown out Of employ.
ment today when the factory
closed its doors. The shutdown
is the first since the plant be-
gan operation 81 years ago.
The closing was not due to
lack of orders but was brought
about by L. Greif and Brothers,
Inc, of Baltimore, owners Of the
plant, because of recent action
by the National Compliance
Board of the NRA to make L.
Greif and Brothers, Inc, pay
to some of its employees in other
cities a sum between 100000
and $20O,00O, which is alleged to
be due them in back wages.
Restitution Of the amount
claimed to be due must be made
by July 10, according to the
compliance board ruling, If the
company is to retain its Blue
Eeagle. Failure of the company
to pay as directed will cause
the removal of the Blue Eagle
and citation of the company by
the Department Of Justice for
legal prosecution. ,-

action would throw 1000 per-

BERLIN, July II GN.S).-The
French army has been heavily
reinforced on the German from
tier, Louis Barthou, French for
eign minister, in London appears
already to have gained consider
able English sympathy for his
plan to weave a steel net around
Germany.
These two facts remained de-
pressing reflections for this coun-
try after IL days have passed with
out the public's learning any new
details Of the plot which cost the
lives of an undetermined number
of Germans and without any lists
Of the dead.
Bound Hand and Foot
But of the two major facts the
second is by far the more i'm
portant. The French army'S
frontier reinforcements were pre-
cautionary measures, and no sober
observer believes France ready to
attack Germany this moment.
M. Barthou'S seemingly success
full diplomatic labors appear to
Germany's leaders today much
more dangerous. -,
For, if M. Barthou succeeds with
his plan, Germany will be bound
hand and foot SO thoroughly that
in the eyes of France no preventa-
tive war will be necessary in order
to render her harmless.
international News Service
learned today that M. Barthou's
complete plan consists OF three
parts, first a renewal of the old
or "West" Locarno pact with the
Soviet Union as a new guarantor
Of Franco German frontier.

The second is the proposed
new east" Locarno Pact among
France, the Soviet Union, Poland,

Cabinet Out
In Austrian
ShQke-P

VIENNA, July II 0N.SO.
Rallying against the double dan.
gers of Hapsburg restoration and
Nazi conquest, Chancellor Engle.
bert Dolfuss today presented to
Wilhelm Miklas the resignation
of the entire Austrian cabinet.
DolfusS then proceeded at Mix
las request to form a new cabinet
eliminating the Hapsburg influ'
ences and again placing Stalwart
enemineS of Nazism in the key
posts.
Left out of the new cabinet was
Gen. Prince Schoenburg, former
minister of defense and long an
exponent of Hapsburg restoration.
It was Prince Schoenburg's dismis-
sal last night that brought about
the cabinet crisis and the unex-
pected change.
Policy Unchanged
Interviewed by International
News Service, Chancellor Dollfuss
said:

"My old friend, Major Fey,
will represent me as state com.
missar with special powers"
These special powers, it was
learned, include authority to in
augurate an offensive against al
legged terroriStS. A terrorist cam
paign, attributed to Austrian Nazis
and manifested chiefly by the
bombing of railway and public
buildings, has been in progress in
Austria for several weeks.
Amnesty Offer Seen
Fey, it was understood, plans to
offer amnesty to those who sur
render arms and explosives.
In connection with the reorgani-
Zation of the cabinet, it was
learned that Austria will no lon.
ger be represented at Berlin by q
minister. The legation will be left
to a charge d'affaires.
It was stated that recent Incl
dents make the work of minister
illusory" although officials stressed
the plan was not intended as an
offensive measure against Ger
many.
The resignation Of Prince Won
Schoenburg, it was understood, fol-
lowed a row over recent clashes at
Graz between Federal troops and
the Heimwehr. Fey and Prince Won
Starhemberg demanded that the
government soldiers be punished
while Prince Won Schoenburg in
sisted upon punishment of the
