Police On Watch
Special police watched the at

Herr Hitler, talking to the Nazi
"Old Guard" in the first speech
he has made at Rosenheim in IS
years, promised IS more years OF
political peace. He said:
eve battled to conquer the
German Reich, and we will bat
tie to maintain it.
''ThOse who stand against us
must realize that we are not
afraid to fight. If they want a
fight, they will get it. Well
crush them so thoroughly they
will not want to fight again for
another Is years."

No nation, he concluded, is

Germany's Sabbath was marked
by the most intensive anti-Cath'
Ollie drive since Prussian Pre-
mier Hermann Goering a month
ago began sending his secret
police to church to censor the
sermons of the clergy.
Throughout the Reich, Cath.
olics and Jews bore the brunt OF
the Nazi party struggle between
conservatives and extremists.

A split in the ranks of the
Daughters of the American Rev.
olution was in the offing today
as the result of a new row between
the president general and expires
ident general.
Mrs. William A. Becker, elected
head of the organization at its
last general congress here, and
Mrs. Russell William Magma,
president general until April of
this year, are involved.
It is charged by friends of the
former chief that her opponent
exerted pressure to have her
omitted from membership on the
good citizenship committee. She
was appointed to the committee
several weeks ago, but the official
1886 roster fails to list her
name.

Plans of Administration leaders
for a peaceful early adjournment
of Congress were threatened to-
day in the Senate revolt on
President Roosevelt'S tax pro-
gram.
While Administration pilots
drove steadily forward for ad-
journment within 10 days or two
weeks, scrapping of important
legislation appeared inevitable
If they succeed.
President Roosevelt himself
may decide whether the tax and
utility bills, and perhaps other
legislation, shall be dropped IN
order to end the session now IN
its ninth month.
Fights In Both Houses
Both Senate and House faced
critical battles this week, with
the new 444-million-dollar tax
bill slated to reach the Senate
floor tomorrow or wednesday,
and the House expected to act on
Gne Gu11cy-E0AAyOCA NO""A HAA"
The Presidents original tax pro
gram, confined to the wealthy and
to big corporations, has been
riddled by the Senate Finance
Committee after it was sharply
revised by the House.
While leaders predicted passage
of the Guffey-Snyder coal bill in
the House, they faced a hard
fight. Even the leadership was
split upon imposing "a little NRA"
on the soft coal industry.
The WEAKNESS of members, the
death of one and the collapse OF
another aided chances for early
adjournment.
rs "Strike" for Home
More than a score Of members
are seriously i'll, others are COM
planning and at least IS members
have gone on strike" and left for
their homes.
Night sessions may be forced in
the Senate on the tax program.
An understanding that the speech
making would be left largely to
Senator Long and Republicans
was dispelled when the Senate
Finance Committee revised the
House bill.
Senator Harrison CD Of Mis-
sissippi, chairman of the COM
mittee, promised fight to levy
inheritance taxes, as recommended
by Mr.. Roosevelt. He was ex-
pected to confer with the Presl-
dent today or tomorrow
The La Toilette pr,ogra
adopted by the Finance Commit
tee was privately aSsailed by
House leaders. The bill now dips
down to lexy taxes on single per-
sons making over 5000 a year.
The House rejected similar pro-
posalS.
Other Bills Held Up
In addition to this situation,
the Administration had yet to
blast the utility holding company,
omnibus banking, iva and gold
clause bond suit bills from con-
ference.
Prospects for an agreement on
the banking bill improved after a
virtual agreement was reached
upon revision of the Federal de-
post insurance law, but the vital
reserve sections remained to be
settled.
Agreement on the utility hold
ing bill was doubtful. The iva
measure presented few obstacles,
leaders said.
The House was expected today
to reject the Senate amendments
to the Administration bill ban"
ming suits growing out of gold
devaluation. The Senate permits
suits for six months. The White
House was said by leaders to be
strongly opposed to the Senate
amendment.

.FLWER PLANE
SATISFACTORY
TO OFFICIALS
Locked Brake Fails to
Mar End of Long
Test Hop

A locked brake marred an
otherwise satisfactory exhibition
Of the newest of the Bureau OF
Air Commerce "fliver" planes at
Washington Airport early today.
Anxious to impress Secretary OF
Commerce Roper and other Com
merce Department officials, Pilot
John H. Geisse, chief of the Blu
reau's Development Sec ton,
brought the Waterman "tail.less"
gently to the field and applied the
expanding mechanical brakes to
its thr e-Wheel undercarriage.
After a 50-foot run, the little two
scatter suddenly slowed about and
came to an abrupt halt-the yer.
tical support of it's left rear wheel
had buckled.
Undismayed, Pilot GeiSse, at.
tired in white linens and Panama
hat, hoped out to grasp the hand
of Secretary of Commerce Roper,
Assistant Secretary johnson, Blu
reau Director Eugene Vidal, and
Bureau officials Rex Martin and
Fred Nicely.
Explains Mishap
Mr.. Geisse explained to the Sec
rotary that a similar accident had
been experienced at LordSburg, N.
M, and assured him that, with "a
little strengthening to the under
carriage, the Waterman would be
as nearly "foolproof" as modern
aeronautical engineering could de-
wise. He told Secretary Roper:
II tried to show you just how
quickly she would stop, but 1
guess the landing gear just
couldn't take it."
Apparently satisfied with the
show, Secretary Roper replied:
"The defect is evidently only
a development problem.
1--WE shall go about perfecting
this type of plane, so that We
can put it into quantity prOduc-
ton as soon as possible. Our
goal is to have these fOOlprOOf
planes manufactured and sold
just as motor cars are mar
keted."
MARTIN PLEASED
According to Assistant Bureau
Director Rex Martin, the accident
was convincing proof Of the
planes suitability for private fly
ing. He asserted:
IF that had been a standard
type plane and its undercarriage
had buckled, the ship would
have turned turtle all over the
lot"
Tail-less and with its 'pusher'
type, 95-horsepoWer motor located
in the rear of the fuselage hung
at the center of its monoplane
wings, which swept back at an
angle, the Waterman resembled a
flying mason's square as it swung
over the airport.
Safe Design
Bureau Director Eugene Vidal
explained that the "pusher" motor
ard the tail-less design, reminis-
cent of the plane which the
Wright brothers pioneered at Kitty
Hawk, virtually eliminated spins
and falling off," to which ap-
proximately two-thirds of the &C
cidents in private flying may be
attributed. He declared:
"We're going to build another
plane similar to this, except that
we'll install an automobile
motor in it. This type plane
has the features which we in
dOrse-viSability, safety, ease of
operation, and economy"
According to Lieut.. Fred Nicely,
Air Commerce official, the bureau
Immediately will launch a six,
month experimental program with
the Waterman

FALSE REPORTS
Are CORRECTED
President Leach of Headwaters
Area of Boy Scouts Gives
Correct Standing.

Reports emanating from Mesaba
range cities were to the effect last week
that the Headwaters Area OF Boy Scouts
with headquarters at Hibbing was tot
tering and that a reorganization was
being effected with Virginia as the
central point and the location Of the
area headquarters.
Edward w. Leach, Hibbing, president
of the HeadwaterS Area, has sent out a
letter to the Boy Scout divisions in the
area which explains the origin Of the
rumor of dissolution and also explains
the cause for the same. Mr.. Leach IN
his letter addressed to Scout leaders
and commissioners on the MeSaba and
Vermilion ranges states:
while in the East end of the Range
the other day, my attention was called
to a rumor regarding Scouting affairs
which is said to be passing around the
various communities, to the effect that
Virginia has withdrawn from the Area
organization, and that the Headwaters
Area is breaking up. While I do not
know how much talk there is along this
line, 1 would be glad to have you
counterfeit this by explaining the stu
alton whenever you have the oppor-
tunity.
This rumor undoubtedly arose from
the fact that there has been re-
organization in Virginia recently. Al
the request of the Area Council the ole
organization resigned to give an op.
portunity for a new group to take ovel
the district work there. The new grouI
is composed to some extent at least o.
the men who were active in the or.
CARNATIONS sponsoring the presen
Scout Troops in that city. The changt
was made upon the suggestion of the
Regional officers and at the request o
the Area officers and was agreeable al
around and designed to put Scouting
on firmer basis in Virginia. The!
have already reorganized, elected new
officers, contributed substantial
| amount to the Area, and are ready ant
willing in every way to cooperate will
the Area Board. The Area organiza
ton has therefore been strengthened
and there is no foundation for the re-
port that it is about to break up. w,
have now nearly 1000 Scouts regis
tered in the Area and it would be {
calamity if the Iron Range communities
refused to cooperate in the work ant
the Scout work of these boys would bt
affected in any way. Will you pleast
do what you can to put your com
munitieS right on this matter.
"Mr. Chase's work in the Area may
be interfered with to some extent dur.
ing this week and next week due Il
the fact that because of the Jambores
cancellation the Region has about II!
boys to take care of on the Border
Water canoe trips during these two
weeks. We are trying to cooperate with
them in taking care of the situation
and Mrs. Chase and Mr.. Bakken of st
Paul will spend most of their time ur
at Moose Lake up to Sept. LIST working
out this situation. They are breaking
up the parties into groups of II to Is
and are sending them out in charge OF
young men from the Headwaters Area
staff. Will you please do what you can
meanwhile to keep the work going, and
Mr.. Chase will be able to contact you
again within week or ten days"

To get anything in Washing
ton, is like moving a mountain,
and yet there are those who
want the federal government to
take over all the activities, ~
said Congressman Harold
Knutson of the Sixth Mime
sofa district in a letter recently.
Continuing he said, "there was
a time when l too, leaned a
little that way, but after seeing
the government in action, OF
rather inaction, l have long
since come to the conclusion
that the less governmental in.
reference we have the better
off we are" His letter was
written owing to the difficulty
experienced by him in his eff
forts to protect northwest far
mers from the competition of
imported farm products due to
increased inertia in high gov
ernmental places.
