ANEW BY
HITLER
PIedqes "RuthIess'
War to Crush All
Enemies

BERLIN, Aug. IL G.N.S)-Fol
lowing closely upon his public an
nouncement that he would ruth
lessly crush" all enemies, Reichs
chancellor Adolf Hitler today held
an important conference with
Minister of Labor Franz Seldte tt
decide the ultimate fate Of the
Steel Helmets, war veterans or
ganization.
Herr Seldte was founder of the
Steel Helmets at the close of the
World War, and was leader of the
organization, which grew to great
power, until Herr Hitler assumed
control of the Reich. He then was
made Minister of Labor in the
Hitler Government, largely be
cause Of his position among wal
veterans.
Vital Army Link
The Nazi Reich last week dis
solved the most important Units
of the Steel Helmets, but the
question of what would take its
place has remained unsolved. The
veterans form a powerful link
with the army, and the army is
one of the main pillars of the
new Nazi state.
Dissolution of the Steel Hell,
NETS Immediately posed a grave
problem which had tangle d
phases not met in stern suppress
sion Of other political organiza-
lions in the Reich, and it was
his problem which Herr Hitler
is meeting by calling Herr Seldte
into conference. Official an
nouncement indicated there
would be several parleys.
In suppressing the Steel Helmets
last week the government cited
"reactionary activities" of the
groups dissolved.
Emerging from semi-retirement
to indorse the Nazi offensive for
unchallenged supremacy, Herr Hit.
Ter found himself opposed in di-
rect, but implanted debate, by the
Catholic Bishop of Trier.
Bishops "RetOrt"
Pledging that the Nazi party
would "ruthlessly crush" all enc
mics, Herr Hitler, in a surprise
speech at Rosenheiln, interpreted
as aimed chiefly against the Cath
olics, said Naziism would ego on
eternally."
At a Catholic demonstration at
Limburg, the Bishop of Trier un-
knowingly replied to Hitler. say
ing:
Lately the philosophy of
mans putting his ego in the
place Of God has arisen here.
The word eternity is much
used. but only the Church of
Christ is eternal"

AFRICAN RACE
WAR FEARED

LONDON. Aug. IL GN.S0
The grim specter of a race war II
Africa resulting from conflict be
tween Italy and Ethiopia was
raised today by Gen. Jan Chris
tian SHUTS, former prime min
lister of South Africa, according
to a Reuter- dispath from Cape
town. General SHUTS said
There is no doubt in my
mind that an invasion of
Ethiopia by Italy will arouse
anxious feelings throughout
Africa between blacks and
whites.
REPERCUSSIONS
"A great conflict in Africa on
the borders of British territory
must have serious repercuSSionS
in British territories such as
Sudan and Egypt"
SHUTS expressed the view that
in the event Italy becomes Seri
ously involved in Ethiopia and is
crippled there by long conflict, a

created in Europe.
The general added:

Herbert Hoover would like to

Mr.. Hoover's challenge tended to

my life, and do not intend to
do it again while other people
