Never allow your heart to break

making it reasonable to reveal i'll

where the Nazis and Krupps were
mutually of service to each other.
Before Hitler got ready to make
a scrap of paper of the Versailles
Treaty and reveal his intention Of
having a big army, big navy and
a big air force, it was necessary to
have rifles and guns and tanks and
armored cars and airplanes.

MEASURES ARE
HELD ILLEGAL
Advance Ruling Is Given on
New Deal Acts by
Law Firm.
BY HERBERT LITTLE
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-An ad-
vance verdict against the constitu-
tionality of seven leading New Deal
programs is published today in the
September issue of Fortune Maya
zine, in an article embodying the
views of four members of a New
York law firm.
This guess" on what the Su-
preme Court will do is based on the
courts reasoning in the NRA
Schechter decision.
Fortune comments that this would
leave only four of the basic New
Deal laws standing.
The article. written by Edwin F.
Blair, former Yale law professor,
examines IA of the Roosevelt meas
ures and finds:
Unconstitutional. in whole or in
part-AAA. Guffey Coal Bill, Wheel
er-Rayburn Utility Bill, Wagner
Labor Relations Act, Bankhead
Cotton Act, Kerr Smith Tobacco
Act, Thcmas-Disney Oil Regulation
Bill and the Alcohol Control Bill
All except the oil bill are Admins
tration measures.
In addition, the iva is said to be
constitutional except as to retailing
of power, and the Securities Ex-
change Act is constitutional in con-
trolling exchanges but invalid as to
"ancillary" provisions.
Constitutional Social Security
Act, Securities Act, Cotton Futures
Bill and Federal regulation of labor
conditions on projects financed by
the Federal government.
1t is probable" Mr.. Blair says,
that the efforts of the AdminiStra-
ton to circumvent by legislation in
direction the (Schechter) decision
and the principles which it re-
affirmed will not succeed in their
purpose"

Krupp Factory Is Forging
Cannon at Top Speed

dreaded Nazi Peoples Courts which
hold their sessions in secret and
have sent so many persons to the
headsman's block.
The spresent head of Krupps was
not born a Krupp. He married one
and adopted the name. Gustav
Won Bohlen und Holbach, of an old
German family, happened to be
born at the Hague in Holland in
1870.
He graduated as a doctor of law
from Heidelberg University in 1893
He served his time in the German
army, becoming captain in HuS-
sar regiment. Having passed sue
cessful examinations for a diplo-
matte career, he did service in the
Foreign Office. From 1899-1900 he
came to America, serving as Secre-
tary of the German Legation in
Washington. In 1900-1903 he was
with the legation in Pekin and in
1904 was Prussian Minister to the
Vatican.
But one of the browning events
of his career occurred in 1906. He
won the hand of 20-year old Bertha
Krupp, heiress to the vast Krupp
properties, her father having died
in 1902.
Becomes Director of Firm
He not only added Krupp to his
own name, but from that time on,
having given up diplomacy. became
the active directing head of the
Krupp business. He became a friend
of Kaiser Wilhelm. He largely sup
piled the arms and munitions for
the German army, the high tide of
his prosperity being the World War.
Afterwards, when Germany was
beaten, under the Versailles treaty
and the dictates of the Ambassa-
dor of the Allied countries, Ger
many was disarmed.
Among other things this meant
tie Krupp works must be changed
over from a congeries of plants
turning out war material to factor
les providing peace-time manufac-
turers.
In 1923 Krupp von Bohlen be-
came a hero for all the German
nationalist. There was a conflict
between German workmen and
French soldiers, who were occupy
ing the Ruhr Some men were
killed and others badly wounded.

Famed German Munitions
Plant Works BuSiIy to
Arm Reich.
BY MILTON BRONNER
NEA Service staff Correspondent.

LONDON, Aug. 27.-With the
worlds attention diverted to Fas-
cist Italys noisy preparations for
war in East Africa, the great NUM-
tions mills of Germany now go
grimIy about the business of rearm-
ing the Third Reich without being
bathed in the glare of unpleasant
foreign publicity.
Greatest of these German fac
tories of death is the huge Krupp
works in Essen. And toward Essen,
the other day, was directed a drum
fire of kilograms from all the big
wigs of the Nazi party. Their tar
get was Gustav Krupp Won Bohlen
und Holbach. The messages were
not of denunciation but of warm
congratulations, because he was
celebrating his ixty-fifth birthday
anniversary.
The truth is that he and the
Nazis can well afford to scratch
each others backs. They have been
of inestimable service to each other.

Industry Hated Possibility
Time was, when Germany was a
republic, what with trades unions
and a Social Democratic party, the
workmen were likely to complain #
wages did not keep step with the
cost of living They might even
strike.
The big industrial kings of Ger
many hated this possibility, 1t was
they who shelled out the millions
of marks which in the beginning
financed Adolf Hitler and his then
infant National Socialist party.
Despite the double-barreled name
of the party. when the Nazis came
into power, the damper was put on
the Socialist" part. The Social
Democratic party was outlawed. The
trades unions we're dissolved. Strikes
were forbidden.
Today. the pay envelope Of the
German Workmen is among the
slenderest in Europe. But he dareS
not complain. He may not strike.
