HITLER IS DEF|ED
BY RADICAL NAz|S
Storm Troops Vow Political
Death of Conservative
Steel Helmets.
BY the Associated Press.

BERLIN, June 29.-In defiance Of
Chancellor Hitler's policy of modera-
ton, the supreme command Of the
militant Nazi Storm Troops issued a
second statement today vowing polit-
ical death to the Steel Helmet Vet
erans' Association.
III feeting between the Storm Troops
and the Stahlhelm, or Steel Helmets,
broke into the open recently when q
storm trooper was stabbed in Pom
erania. Hitler firmly rejected Storm
Troop demand for dissolution Of the
veterans organization.
The latest Storm Troop blast
charged high Steel Helmet officials
were responsible for the violence. The
statement was inspired by the radical
section of the Nazi party. whose
strength is indicated by its success on
the Jewish and church issues. and
indicated there would be no peace
until the conservatives are eliminated.
The Steel Helmet group is considered
the most powerful instrument In the
hands of the conservatives.
SHOWDOWN IneVitaDic.
A decisive struggle between the two
camps appears inevitable.
In the view of observers the Storm
Troopers handicapped efforts Of Vice
Chancellor Won Papen and Gen. Wer-
ner Won Blomberg. minister of de-
fense, last night to convince the world
that all is well within the third Reich.
Won Papen praised Hitler, asserting
"the peoples entire confidence belongs
to him" 1t was Won Papen's severe
attack on radical Nazi tendencies II
days ago that revealed political dis
Sention.
There Is no doubt that the
chancellor and leader" he said, will
successfully complete the spiritual
and material rebirth of the nation
because the peoples entire confidence
belongs to him"
He predicted the doom Of the whole
European Continent if 1t should not
be able to grant Germany economic
recovery and political equality in the
council of nations"
Bridge OF Ideals Seen.
Perhaps Won Papen's speech itself
will be regarded as bridge between
the radical young wing of impetuous
revolutionaries which includes Joseph
Goebbels, minister Of propaganda and
public enlightenment, and the older
group of realistic "subleaders' such
as Rudolph Hess. minister without

the interior, and Hermann Wilhelm
Goering, minister of aviation.
Emphasizing that general harmony
existed, Gen. Won. Blomberg then said
The military attitude has permeated
the whole nation and its leadership
Pacifism has been vanquished. The
military power of the state has become
one"
He said the army was standing 10y
ally behind President Won Hindenburg
and Hitler. who came from our ranks
and will always remain one OF U.s."
Much comment was evoked from
foreign observers by the prominence
given the announcement Of Hitler's
visit yesterday. to the huge Krupp
munitions works at Essen in his
semi-official newspaper Voelkischer
Beobachter.
Jung Still Held.
The newspaper displayed the story
on the front page. although its tend
ency heretofore has been not to link
the chancellor with military matters
Edgar Jung. who was Jailed after
gathering material for Won Papen's
speech attacking radical Nazi policies
was still held today despite the vice
chancellor's efforts to free him.
Jung. it was reported. also made
derogatory remarks about Hitler.
Gen. Won Blomberg indicated no
attempt to replace the Hitler regime
by a military dictatorship would get
the support Of the Reichswehr, or
regular army.
His words apparently were intended
to dispel fears of civil war
The Reichswehr, he asserted, is
wholeheartedly backing Hitler be-
cause in the third Reich the military
spirit has been transmitted to the
nation.
