'NAz|S REORGAN|zE.
STORM TROOPERS
Fate of Steel Helmet Vet
Grams in Doubt as Hitler
ConferS With Leader.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, August 13.-The Storm
Troopers, after a years eclipse, are
being reorganized as q quality unit
of NaA defense against the state
enemies" of Semitism and political
Catholism.''
The fate of the Reich's Steel Helmet
veterans meanwhile became increas-
ingly uncertain.
That something is going to happen
to the Steel Helmets, whose leader is
Franz Seldte. minister Of labor, was
indicated by publication Of the bare
announcement that Reichsfuehrer Hit
Ter had discussed their future with
Seldte.
The discussion was regarded as
highly significant in that the helmet
ers are now held 'reactionaries" and
questionable characters. AS such
they are forbidden to join the Storm
ers. or Sturm Abteilung, new standard
bearers of the Hitler policies.
Idealist Fighters Retained.
Victor Lutte is leading the troopers
who are rebuilding the organization by
eliminating all but "idealist fighters"
for Der Fuehrer.
Lutte said the revamping has been
careful. with only the pick Of the
idealists accepted for the Nazi defense
force. They are given thorough in
struction in their weekly meetings and
ordered to carry on the campaign
against Jews and political Cathol-
icism"
A reliable informant said the troop
erS are urged to remember that 1T
isn't enough to be anti-Semitic, but
you must learn to hate Jews"
The Helmeters are privately criti-
cizing Seldte for remaining In Hitler's
cabinet while his men are branded
state enemies, their organizations
forcibly disbanded and in many cases
their property confiscated.
An increase of anti-Jewish placards
Is noticeable here. especially on pri-
vate automobiles. They are inscribed

are our misfortune"
Priest Taken Into Custody.

was taken into protective custody"

and prophecies of potato crop failure

In Saxony and Anhalt people were
warned against specializing in hogs.
Allgemeine Zeitung carried a
column-long attack on Mayor Fiorello

MULE SHORTAGE SEEN

D. c. IS INCLUDED
IN WALSH MEASURE.
Chairman King Vigorously
Opposes Clause as Bill
Passes Senate.

The Walsh bill to require N. r. A.
hour and wage regulations for all
concerns doing business with the Fed
eral Government was made to apply
also to District government contracts
when the Senate passed the measure
late yesterday. despite a vigorous plea
by Chairman King of the Senate Dis
trict Committee against imposing this
Federal statute on purely local ex-
penditures.
King Makes Stand.
Senator King pointed out that in
other cities the Walsh bill will apply
only to projects financed by Govern
ment loans and said he would not OBJ
ject to similar application here when
the District borrows from the United
States.
Kings fight was against extending
the Walsh bill to cover the routine
annual expenditures of the District,
nearly all of which comes from local
taxation. He argued that the Fed
eral lump sum payment toward an
nual District bills is neither a loan
nor a grant, but is In lieu of taxes
on the large property holdings of the
Government.
Walsh replied that other laws
regulating Federal contracts have
been applied to the District. He
also argued that since the District
has no other Legislature than Con-
gress, If Congress thinks the bill is
a good one, it should apply to the
District. The Senate agreed with
Walsh without record vote.
House Action Required.
The measure still requires action
by the House. 1t passed the Senate
after Senator Clark, Democrat, of
Missouri failed by 81 to % 20 sub
stitute the Black 30-hour week bill
for the Walsh plan. Clark succeeded.
however, in having a .two-year time
limit placed on the measure.
While the Walsh bill seeks to set
up N. r. A. standards of hours and
pay within the scope of Government
dealings with industry, the President
was given wide authority to modify
the requirements or to exempt indus
try entirely.

a thick accent, and again, like many
inventors, was impecunious and poor
business man. 1t was perhaps the
combination of these factors which
have so long kept from him the ac-
claim which Miss Randolph believes Is
undoubtedly due him.
Before 1901, according to sworn tes-
timony of those who knew Whitehead,
he had built 56 airplanes. When 1t Is
learned that not only did he design
and build mis- own planes, but like
wise their motors, this statement be-
comes all the more startling. Pioneer

The story of that early flight near
Pittsburgh is as strange as fiction.
Working late at night Whitehead and
Darvarich experimental with boilers

their window-panes cave in.
Finally they pieced one together
that suited them. a two-cylinder af

PRESIDENT GREETS
CUBAN DELEGATES
Attributes Improved Eco

to New Trade Pact.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
A group of prominent Cubans had
President Roosevelts word for it to-
day that improved economic conditions
In the island republic are largely the
result of Cuba's new reciprocal trade
pact with the United States.
The President yesterday told a dele
CATION representing the Social Eco
nomic Union of Cuba that mutual
benefits derived by both nations from
the trade agreement were testimony
to the wisdom of the good neighbor"
policy.
Secretary Hull told the delegation
at the State Department Cuban-A Amer

peace" were the worlds great needs

Gratified by Visit.
Speaking extemporaneously to DR..
Guillermo Patterson, the Cuban Am
bassador; Jose Casanova. president of
the union. and others of the delega-
ton, Mr.. Roosevelt said:
Il am not only gratified, but very
much touched at your coming here
It is a splendid thing for you to do
and it proves that something We
always wanted has worked out.
One has an ideal and wants to put
1t into effect. We tried to establish
the principle that two nations side by
side, ought to be good neighbors. The
next thing We did was to try to work
out some practical demonstration of
the value of the policy of the good
neighbor.
Cites Economic Revival.
People said a trade agreement
would not accomplish anything; that
a trade agreement would not work.
But We put it through and the proof
of the pudding is in the eating.
What pleases me particularly is
that the economic revival in Cuba has
come so quickly. even more quickly
than We hoped. From all 1 hear, i'm
provement in Cuba is not merely at
the top, but extends down-wages are
better, and you have more >purchas-
ing power"
The President added that he knew
Cuba in the old days, 20 years ago."
and that some day he was going back
for a visit to Havana and the interior,
Secretary Hull took improved Gu
ban-American relations as a thesis on
how similar relations would have a
beneficial effect all over the world.

candidate.
Though Longs plans excited Repub-
licans to high hopes for 1886, they
were not counting chickens ahead of
time. They realized it was possible
for him to change his mind And
some wondered whether his strategy
was not entirely designed to influence
the Republican nomination.
Meanwhile, other developments in
the political field engaged the Capt.
tails interest. One was a statement
by Senator Capper, Republican, of
Kansas that any of a number of Re-
publican presidential possibilities could
defeat Mr. Roosevelt next year.
Another was word coming from ad-
ministration circles indicating that
Mr.. Roosevelt may have something to
say on constitutional questions and
other matters in his forthcoming trip
to the West coast.
AS for Senator Long, politicians
have long been speculating about what
ne would do next year. He has been
the administrations fiercest critic in
the Senate since shortly after the
Inauguration of President Roosevelt,
after working hard for Mr.. Roose-
velt's nomination at the convention.
Patronage Felt Behind Break.
Administrator leaders have said
patronage was back of the break.
Longs friends have replied that the
Louisiana Senator broke with the
President over economy legislation
and patronage was denied him be-
cause he refused to "go along"
There have been reports that the
President was concerned over the
damage that Long might do in the
1885 campaign as an independent
candidate. Critics of the administra-
tion have contended that recent moves
of the President-particul his tax
program-were designed to break up
Longs strength.
