eral Won Blomberg's speech.
Hears Chief Praised
He heard his late chief, Won
Hindenburg, lauded. Then sud-
denly the war minister's voice
doomed:
1--WE remember the man who,
during the whole period Of the
World War, worked alongside
the great soldier Hindenburg-
General LudendOrff, who, like
Atlas, carried the world on his
shoulders. We bow to the great
military leader, LudendOrff."
Although surprised, General
Ludendorff instantly recognized
the tribute as a government
feeler preparing for an approach
to reenlist his military genius.
He was asked the direct queS-
ton:
"Would you accept the su-
preme command Of the new
German army If the Fatherland
callS?"
Pondering deeply, then eau
tiously and slowly said:
"I feel that I cannot COM
ment on such q question just at
present"
His voice betrayed his secret
elation at this turn Of events, how
ever, and his solemn consideration
of the. possibilities evoked showed
that he was, indeed, receptive to
the Governments approach.
f. Health Good At 10
One of Germany's greatest
StrategistS, General Ludendortt Is
still in good health at 10.
With Hindenburg he shared IN
the victory at Tannenberg and
helped drive the Russian hordeS
from East Prussia. He remained
with his field marshal when Hin
denburg became chief Of the gen.
eral staff in 1916.

Police Chief Given Order:
"Look Out for Hopkins"

NEWARK, Ohio, March 18
G.N.SO -Ohio's chief executive,
Gov. Martin L. Davey, tossed a
veritable bombshell into Newark
municipal court a few minutes
after it opened at 9 a. m. today
when he stalked into the court
offices and filed an affidavit Of
criminal libel against FERA Ad-
ministrator Harry L. Hopkins.
Startled, Judge Frank A. Boil
ton, who received the affidavit
from Governor Davey and his at
torney, former Judge Dennis Dun
lavey, of Ashtabula, was too up
set to express surprise.
He merely stared at the charges
as Governor Davey explained:
"ThiS is important to me. I
have decided to take this action
after deliberate study"
The Governor and Dunlavey
bid the judge good morning and
left the city. County executive
offices Immediately buzzed with
excitement.
A Hurried Farley
Judge Bolton summoned County
Prosecutor Kenneth Kreider, City
Prosecutor James M. Schaller,
Police Chief Curtis I. Berry, j.
F. Grady, Municipal Court Clerk
and Sheriff L. D. Hague for a
hurried conference to determine
what action was necessary.
Mr.. Kreider assumed RESPONSE
bility for service of the warrant
on Mr.. Hopkins and Immediately
directed Chief Berry to keep an
eye peeled for Hopkins" to effect
service of the warrant if the
FERA chief comes to Ohio.
He explained that the offense
charged by Governor Davey is not
felony and therefore Mr.. Hop
kins cannot be compelled to come
to Ohio to answer the charge.

TUTZING, Upper Bavaria,
March 18 G.N.SO.-The "old
guard" personified by Gen. Erich
Ludendorff, one of the few survi-
vors Of Germany's wartime gen.
eral staff, today hailed Chancellor
Hitler'S: decision to call to the col
orS the youth Of Germany.
For the first time since his break
with Hitler more than a decade
ago; General Ludendorff was in
whole-hearted agreement with the
fuehrer as to measures necessary
for Germany'S defense.
- Halls ConScriptiOn
In an exclusive statement to In
ternational News Service after
Gen. Werner Won Blomberg paid
homage to him in a speech at Ber-
lin, General Ludendorff said:
II most warmly welcome the
general cOnscriptiOn law passed
by the government.
"That is the only thing that
could be done for the fatherland
under the circumstances.
That's the very thing every
old soldier like me has been
working for inceSsantly."

General Ludendorff's return to
military activity came to the TO-
year.old commander in dramatic
fashion.

sign was in order yesterday
afternoon at the U. 8. Chamber
of Commerce Auditorium when
Viola Mitchell, violinist, ap-
peared with the Chamber Or
cheStra under the direction of
DR.. Hans Kinder.
The chamber orchestra was
composed of about "a musi-
clans from the National Sym
phony Orchestra and the con-
cert was given under the aus
pices Of Mrs. E. S. Coolidge
to whom the Malipiero Con
certo" and the Concerto for
Five Instruments" by Res
pighi were dedicated.
Viola Mitchell, young Amer
lean violinist, played the Mali"
piero Concerto for Violin and
Orchestra" with a tone, if any
thing, a little more full than
when she appeared recently
with the National Symphony
Orchestra.
She also played the lead
part in the Concerto for Five
instruments and Orchestra"
although the other solo instru-
ments, the piano, oboe,
trumpet and bass had solo
leads. This unique work was
performed yesterday for the
second time in America.
On the whole the concert
was satisfying and appropriate
for the size of the hall and the
size of the. orchestra. However.
it seems that an orchestra OF
this size approaches the effect
Of a string quartet and, as
such, better effects would be
obtained were each musician

CLEAN HOUSE, ;
IS ORDER To
POLITICIANS
By EARL GOODWIN

President RooSevelt's part in the
swift move to take politics out of
relief in Ohio last Saturday Is
interpreted in informed circles as
an order from the High Command
to clean house in every political
machine in the United States. 1t
is also regarded as an answer to
the Republican charge that relief
and PWA moneys can be conSld-
cred "aS a huge campaign fund
President Roosevelt'S friends
and members of his inner circle,
discussing the fact that the PreSi-
dent took a prominent part in the
charge that Governor Martin L.
Davey, of Ohio, played politics
with relief" for the benefit of
his own campaign fund, are unani-
nous in saying:
"Mr. Roosevelt wants to be
reelected, we assume, but not at
the cost Of injecting politics in
to relief"
GAVE OUT WARNING
The President warned relief ad-
niniStratorS against politics in
relief several months ago in a
speech delivered here.
The move against the Ohio
political set-up was engineered by
Harry Hopkins, Federal Relief
Administrator, who has been in a
series Of running fights with he
various State political machines
ever since he organized the FERA.
Mr.. Hopkins, who is well known
as leaning backwards away from
State politics or any other sort of
politics, has apparently overcome
the Ohio State political organiza-
tion with a flare of limelight,
aided and abetted by the Presi-
dent Of the United States.
Administrator Hopkins, liL e
Secretary Ickes of the Depart
ment of Interior, has incurred the
deep enmity of many of the
strongest political leaders in the
New Deal because he will not play
ball the way politicians like to
play the game.
CduVaSSAnS NuaFSeU
The charge against Governor
Davey, who typifies the new and
vigor Democratic machine
made politician in Ohio, was that
he canvassed the dealers who sell
supplies to the State relief Or
ganization, for money to make up
the deficit in his campaign fund
and to defray the inaugural eX-
penSes.
Governor Davey has been want
ing the Federal Government to
take over the Ohio relief burden
and pay for them; but he did
not expect to have himself lime
lighted as the head of a corrupt
political gang when the thing
actually happened.
Publicity Kept Alive
Governor Davey and some Of
his advisers came here to Wash
ingtcr. shortly after election, and
after, talking things over with
President Roosevelt, told news
paper men that they were con-
tinuing the Ohio Democratic or
ganiZation as going concern.
They intended to keep alive
the publicity work and the
speakers bureau, carrying on an
active campaign in support of the
Ohio New Deal and Governor
Davey.
This is an innovation in Ameri-
can politics, as campaign commit
tees generally go into retirement
after election, to come to life
again two years later, in time to
organize the noise and baIlyhoo
of the next campaign,

ARMY INCREASE
ENDANGERED
International News Service


Mandatory increase of the Army
to $4,000 men was endangered
today when House fiscal leaders
sought White House aid in an ef-
fort to kill the Senate rider" to
the 400-million-dollar annual Army
supply bill.
The question win be fought out
at meeting of Senate and House
conference committees on the
Army bill this week.
A fight to sEce other increases
in Army funds voted by the Sen
ate also was threatened by the
House conferees, who demanded
that the big bill be kept within
budget limits set.
While the House. adopted an
Indefinite provision under which
the President can boost the size
of the Army from 1880 to 1861
900 men, the Senate actually voted
$2O,O0G,000 for this purpose and
$2,500,000 to increase the National
Guard by 5000 men.

from which my living is made"
The governor is head of the
Davey Tree Surgery Company,
at Kent, Ohio.
Probe Is Considered
Newark dispatches to Interna-
tional News Service confirmed the
statement from the governors CT
flee that he had been there and
sworn out an affidavit charging
Mr.. Hopkins with criminal libel.
Governor Davey picked Newark
as the setting for his sensational
reply to Mr.. Hopkins because he
has a very good friend in the
prosecutors office there" Francis
PoulSon, Democratic State chair
man, disclosed.
Meanwhile, the Ohio legislature
prepared to consider adoption of a
resolution authorizing the Repub-
lican attorney general of Ohio,
John w. Bricker, to conduct a
grand jury investigation of charges
made by Mr.. Hopkins when he
issued the order taking over COM
plete control of relief in this
State.
Affidavits purporting to sup
port Hopkins allegations of "cor-
ruption" were understood to be
en- route to the Attorney Gen
eral by registered mail. Ohio
witnesses the unusual spectacle
of a Democratic national admin
istration calling upon a Republi-
can State official to probe
charges against a Democratic
State administration.
The situation was made even
more unusual because Attorney
General Bricker is mentioned on
all sides as a potential nominee
of the Republican nominee for
governor at the election next
year.
Drawn Out War
While most Democratic mem
bers of the Legislature remained
silent on Mr.. Hopkins charges,
which exploded like a bombshell
in the Ohio political arena, a
Republican State senator, Rob.
ert A. Pollock, of Canton, said:
'Tf the charges of MIR. Hop
kinS are true, the Governor
should be impeached.
For several weeks the squabble
has ragged between Governor
Davey and Mr.. Hopkins, but a
short time before the Federal ad-
ministrator took over complete
control of relief in Ohio, Presi,
dent Roosevelt himself took a
hand in the controversy, ordering
Mr.. Hopkins to pursue these in
veStigations diligently and let the
chips fall where they may"
Whereupon, Mr.. Hopkins noti-
fled Governor Davey that he has
"incontrovertibIe evidence" that
the campaign committee solicited
money from men and business
firms who sold goods to the Ohio
relief administration. Mr.. Hop
kins said:
"The frank purpose Of this
ShakedOwn, because it can be
termed fairly by no other name,
was to help pay off the deficit
Of your (Davey's) campaign
and the expenses Of your in
augural. The further apparent
purpose was to make some of
the officers Of the relief ad-
ministratiOn solicit these funds
In order to retain their jobs"
CALLS 1T COWARDLY
This Governor Davey charac-
terized as a "cowardly and mali
cious assault on my integrity"
He said Hopkins action was
"deSpicable in the extreme and
the English language is not ade-
quate to describe the indecent
and contemplate tactics"
The governor reiterated the
charge that the administration
Of relief is wasteful, inefficient
"and many times inhuman." He
went further this time by charg.
ing that Ito a large extent it is

PAUL Cow TAKES
UP TARIFF fight

Paul A. Cow. OF Butte. since

ager Of the North Butte Mining
Company, has been appointed to
the Montana Copper Tariff Board
by Governor F. H. Cooney to re-
place Frederick Laist of the Ana
conda Mining Company, who resign
ed. saying he would be unable to
serve.
Cow has long been one of the
most aggressive advocates of the
copper tariff Early in 1882 he
said. strange to find that of all
our base metals, copper alone
stands unprotected against an ap-
preaching tidal wave of low-cost
pooh or semi-slavo produced for
eign copper, which threatens to
completely submerge our domestic
copper mining industry, unless held
back by the immediate enactment
of an adequate duty on all copper
imports Of whatever form. Today,
Cow again takes up the cudgel to
do his part toward saving the cop
per mining industry by having the
copper tariff law of 1892 extended.
