STUN PROJECT
HERE BACKED

The Federal Government today
replied to the attack Of a prop.
erty owner on the constitutional
ity of the three-nillion-dollar low
cost housing project for south
west Washington by claiming
that, although such a project
might be unconstitutional in q
State, it is constitutional in the
District of Columbia.
The reply was to a demurrer
filed in the Governments con-
demnation suit to acquire the
land by Mrs. Minnie Keys. Mrs.
Keys, owner of a large tract in
the area sought to be condemned,
not only attacked the condemna-
ton suit on the ground that no
effort had been made to acquire
the property by private contract,
but made the more serious charge
that the proceedings are uncon'
stitutional because the Govern
ment is seeking to acquire private
lands for a private purpose.
In its reply, the Government
points out that the primary object
of the low-cost housing project is
in the clearance of Stun areas
and such slum clearance actually
amounts to a purpose.
Mrs. Keys demurrer was based
on a recent decision of the sixth
court of civil appeals in Ohio
which invalidated a similar pro-
iect in Louisville, KY.

Cordially of Americas diplo-
matte relations with Germany to.
day threatened to become strained
as the result of the Hitler re-
gime's latest crusade against re.
ligious groups.
While officially the State De
partment planned no direct action
unless the right of American citi-
zens in Germany to freedom of
worship is trespaSsed upon, pri.
vately officials deplored the re.
vival of Jewish persecution and
extension of the oppression drive
to the Catholic church.
There were definite indications
that Germany would receive lit
tie sympathy from the State De-
partment in the event the present
German government should ever
need moral or material support
in international councils in the
future.

DistrictCouple
Are Wed On
Horseback

Washington bride paths last
night led a local couple down
honeymoon lane-still astride
their horses.
The bride was Miss Rose B.
Wallace of the 5000 block
Eleventh st. N. w., and the
groom was George M. Van
Horn of the 1900 block Har"
ward st. N. w.. and the cere-
mony took place at Memorial
Circle, in Alexandria, Va.
The couple, both of whom
hail from Houston, Tex. met
at q riding club here about two
months ago, and it was in keep
ing with the beginning of their
romance that they decided to
have the ceremony performed
in this novel way, despite the
explanation of a wiSe-cracking
member of the bridal party,
who said:
"The horses were used to
put o new kick into an old
ceremony"
Even the IL attendants at
the wedding were on horseback,
but the minister, the Rev.
Pierce S. Ellis, pastor of the
First Baptist Church of Alex
andria, bucked at the sugges-
ton that he be mounted too.
Following the wedding, which
occurred while automobiles
whizzed by and blared their
horns, the wedding party rode
back to Washington where a
barn dance was held in place
of the orthodox reception.

At the same time Mayor Davi-

NAILS ACCUSE
JEWS Of MOST
|CHCR|MES
Three Groups of Vaudeville
Troupers Disbanded as
Hostile to State
BY PIERRE J. HUss

BERLIN, July 20 G.N.S).
The Nazi governments campaign
to purge Germany of all Jewish
and other religious and political
elements failing in 100 per cent
fealty to the Third Reich moved
ahead today with official charges
Jews are responsible for the ma
jority of German crimes.
In an official statement, Kurt
Daluege, staunch Nazi chief of
the Prussian police, accused Jews
of playing "the most prominent
part" in Germany's crime and
cited statistics which he declared
proved his accusations. He said
"There were $4,000 cases of
swindling in 1884, involving
112,OOO,OOO marks. OF the 81
firms working this racket, 20
were Jewish.
CURFEW FOR SHOPS
Meanwhile, Count wolf Helm,
rich Won Helldorf, violent anti
Semitic new chief of the Berlin
police, issued q curfew order re-
quiring all Jewish-owned ice cream
shops to close at z p. m. instead
of midnight as heretofore ito
prevent demonstrations" These
shops have been the centerS of
recent anti-Jewish demonstrations.
Meanwhile secret State police
under orders of Gen. Hermann
wilhelm Goering, dissolved three
organizations of vaudeville troop
ers and banned their joint stage
publication, THE Programme,
on the ground that it promoted
activities hostile to the state"
The organizations disbanded
were the International Artists
Lodge, the International Circus
Directors Association, and the
Professional League Of German
Artists. The police charged
elements hostile to the state"
were active in each group.
Rich AsssiIed
Meanwhile the ultra-Nazi drive
was continued along all fronts
although higher-ups ordered
party members to "take it
easy" in campaigning against
their foes.
A commission of local Nazi
chieftains in Schwerin launched
what is tantamount to a soak
the-rich" campaign against for
mer monarchiSts and wealthy re-
dictionaries,
Cloaked under the title of pub
lie Relief Organization the Nazis
announced there would be a sys-
tematic inspection of the big
estates of Mecklenburg and other
agrarian districts which are
strongholds of the monarchists
and rich reactionaries.
SympathfzerS Threatened
General Goering's own newspa-
per, the National Zeitung of Essen,
threatened official action against
scores Of persons who sent letters
of sympathy to the bishop of
Muenster, who recently clashed
publicly with Alfred Rosenberg,
head of the foreign department
of the Nazi party, was officially
reprimanded, and finally had his
publishing establishment at Mum
ster raided and confiscated.

International News Service

ENC"B 0CEFAC0
Capitol Hill was tied up in an
other legislative log-jam as the
week ended today.
Adjournment seemed a long
way off-maybe September /,
perhaps even later.
Administration pressure may
loosen things up a bit next week,
but it will take hard work.
Most Of the trouble centered
in the Senate, but the House
also was having its troubles.
The AAA amendments kept
the Senate busy and seemed
destined to occupy it for a good
part of the coming week. Many
controversial amendments have
been disposed Of, but there re-
main proposals to recommit the
whole bill for further study in
committee. Leaders fought,
without much hope of success,
for final vote today.
Conferees of the two Houses
trying to work out compromise
on the utility holding company
bill made no progress this week.
The Senate bill includes the
death clause" which the House
knocked out. Both Houses ap-
parently planned to stick to
their guns.
All this delayed action on the
new controversial banking legis-
lation. Foes of the AAA amend:
ments said it would be Wednes-
day, at the earliest, before a
final vote could be accomplished.
In that case. a final vote on
banking was unlikely during the
coming week.
Back of this jam were half a
dozen important measures.

 When the continuance was first refused, Attorney Sheehan de- clared: I've been practicing law for 24 years and I've never been refused a continuance yet. "He went on to relate that he had just come back from New York and had not become well-enough acquainted with the case to pro- ceed with the trial.
 Attorney Sheehan's remarks on vice conditions in New England and his apparent minimizing the seriousness of the operation of houses of i'll fame took the court. attaches and spectators completely by surprise.
 In addition to the two women four men will be arraigned tomor- row on frequenting charges. They are: John Juickis, 23, of 48 La- fayette street; Bromis Macalis, 23, of 159 Washington avenue; George Akoury, 52, of 617 Merdien Road 1; and John Mackis, 26, of 32 South Riverside street.

Charges on Vice Conditions Follow Arraignment of = Ciroup-Judge MascOIO RetOrts to Claim

City court had it's biggest sensa' ton in months this morning when Attorney John Sheehan of New Haven, appearing us counsel for two women and several men ar. rested in a vice squad raid in an alleged house of i'll fame August Sd, pooh -poohed the seriousness oi vice charges and declared: T know of a thousand such houses operat. ing in New England. They're prac. tically under license, and they're recognized"
 '+They're not recognized in Wa terbury," came back Judge Ed ward Mascolo," and we refuse to allow them. Waterbury doesn't care how other cities regard vice; this city only knows that 1t doesn't want it."
 e- Attorney Sheehan's e marks came when he had been refused a request for continuances in the cases of Sadie Moses, A, of 3 Vine street, charged with operating a house of i'll fame; Mary Bruno, 30 of Jersey City charged with resid- ing and three men charged with frequenting. The cases were as. signed for hearing last week, and Judge Mascolo, when granting a continuance at that time, said that it was the last continuance to be granted.
 After court had been recessed however, Judge Mascolo continued the cases for one day, commenting that the postponement was given only because Attorney Sheehan had been called into the case at late date and had not had sufficient time to prepare a defense.
 Not one of the accused was in court when their names were called this morning, and court was ready to call bonds of $500 for feited by the Moses woman and bonds posted by the Bruno woman The bonds were allowed to remain
