GIRL is FINED SIS
FOR NAZI PROTEST
Eva Rappaport Accused of Shout
ing at Concert-Boy
Faces Court.

Eva Rappaport, 20-year- men,
ber of the Young Communists League,
wes fined IS by Judge John P. Nc
Mahon in Police Court today for
shouting protests at German music
concert Saturday morning in the Gen.
trail High School auditorium, given
by the National Symphony Orchestra.
Miss Rappaport told the court she
was visiting friends here and upon
learning a Nazi hymn was to be
played, resolutions voicing opposition
to this were sent to DR.. Hans Kinder.
Miss Rappaport said she went to the
concert feeling it was her duty to
stop it because of what "Nazi" rep
resented to her.
AS matter of fact, the Nazi hymn,
Horst Vessel" which had been
scheduled for the program, was never
played. Miss Rappaport shouted her
protest on the announcement of the
last number on the program, which
included Der Tannenbaum," sung
by the audience from words printed
on the back of the program, and
Deutschland Uber Allies"
Judge Mcmahon imposed the fine
on a disorderly conduct charge. Miss
Rappaport, her lawyer said, would
leave for her home in New York to-
night. A 14-year-old boy is to be
arraigned in Juvenile Court Wednes-
day for a similar act at the concert.

.HERNDON REVIVED.
BY BANK PAy-0FF
Depositors Up to $1,000
Are Scheduled for Dis
burSement.
BY TED KELLOGG,
Staff Correspondent of The Star.

HERNDON, Va, January 28.-The
business of this community of 1900
took on new activity today as the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. be-
gan its "payoff" of depositors in the
closed Herndon National Bank up
to $4,000.
The business life of the town and
vicinity had been seriously handi-
capped since the bank closed its doors
January 10, when it was announced
that a shortage of $4,000 had been
reported in the accounts of Asa E.
Bradshaw, cashier Of the institution.
Soon to Reopen.
In addition, officers of a new ma
tional bank, to replace the defunct
institution, were elected by the Board
of Directors yesterday and it is hoped
the new bank will be functioning
within few weeks.
The president of the new bank is
Ralph r. Reed, an income tax au-
ditor in the Treasury Department,
who was instrumental in helping to
solicit necessary stock for the in
stitution. The vice president is Mark
Turner, Forestville, Va, dairyman,
also a member of the committee
which solicited subscriptions for
stock in the new bank. The di-
rectors chose John Mcdaniel, treas
urer of the Vienna Trust Co., as
cashier.
The officers will have to be ap-
proved by a national bank examiner
before the institution can begin doing
business. 1t is believed this approval
will be given today or tomorrow.
Closing Serious Blow.
Since the Herndon National Bank
closed there has been dearth of cash
money here so great that it was
virtually impossible to get a check
cashed without trip to Fairfax,
Leesburg or some other nearby town.
Merchants took the situation into
account, however, and business has
been kept from being completely at
standstill by their giving credit where
necessary.
Bradshaw, arrested by Federal Of
fcers and charged with embezzle-
ment January IL, is being held in
the Alexandria Jail, pending his post
ing of $4,000 bond. He was arraigned
before United States Commissioner
John Barton Phillips and held for
action of a Federal grand jury which
meets in Alexandria June 8.
The new bank will be capitalized
for S50,000, with reserve of $4,000
to start with.

For Hour on Boat
In Frozen Channel
Observation-Disclosures
Brings r. L. Shanateh
to Shore.

r. L. Shanafelt, an attorney for
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
was marooned for more than an hour
this morning when ice formed around
his boat, in the AnacoStia Channel of
the Potomac, and the harbor police
ice-breaker had to be called to bring
him ashore.
Shanafelt, who lives at 1919 G
street, left his Office Saturday to
spend the week end on his 30-foot,
raised deck, cabin boat Wanderer.
With him he took a piece of 2-inch
pipe to break the ice. He remaired
on the boat yesterday and last night,
and this morning he found the boat
icebound.
Getting into small rowboat, he
attempted to break the ice with the
iron pipe When this failed, he
called to Steward NJ E. Beam of the
Washington Yacht Club, who sum-
moned harbor police.
Shanafelt has anchored his boat
in the swift Anacostia current for
more than Is years, but this is the
first time it has been icebound, he

BERLIN, January 28.-German
military circles declined to become
excited today over news that in
Geneva and other European centers,
uneasiness exists because Of Ger
manys attitude toward armaments.
The Reichswehr (standing army was
represented to the Associated Press by
a well-informed source as feeling:

would be so mad as to start war with
us over our arms policy"

All the world knows that Germany
is rearming vigorously. But you can
no more get an admission of this OBJ
vious fact than you can get a dyed
in-the-wool Nazi to concede that
Adolf Hitler isn't infallible.
1.-The question of Germany's arma-
ments is a highly political one, to
which Adolf Hitler alone can give
the answer" Gen. Werner Won Blom-
berg, minister of defense, said in an
interview.
Adolf Hitler is not likely to break
the German official silence.
Baldwin Asks FrankneSs.
Ex-Premier Stanley G. Baldwin OF
Great Britain has publicly pleaded
with Hitler to raise the veil OF
secrecy" with reference to Germany's
rearmament.
Baldwin, it seems, accepts Ger
many's rearmament as a fact and
believes the peace of the world would
be better served if the Germans stated
right out what their game is.
Instead, there is rumor mongering
both within and without Germany Of
a kind that is calculated to intensity
the feeling that Europe is sitting or
a Smouldering volcano.

ANNAPOLIS, January 28-There

attached to the Maryland State police
force.
For years a special detail of the
force known as the flying squadron"
has been stationed at headquarters
in Baltimore and dispatched to all
parts of the State as emergencies re-
quired.
It is now proposed to turn the en-
forcement of the States air rules and
regulations over to the State troopers.
The State Aviation Commission is
studying the idea, expects to consult
the commissioner of motor vehicles
to see if he considers it practical and
may call or the Legislature to draft
whatever laws may be required.
Too Many Complaints.
Maj. Charles A. Mason, secretary
of the Aviation Commission, pointed
out that it Is almost impossible for
that body, whose members are un-
paid, to investigate all complaints and
handle the many details that are en-
trusted to them.
Aviation has grown to such an ex-
tent, he pointed out, that regulatory
powers over it should be entrusted to
some salaried agency of the State.
Because the police have substations
in all sections of Maryland, and an
organization already trained and dis
ciplined to handle Investigations,
some believe they could supervise air.
ports and airplanes with little addi-
tional training. Some of the patrol
men already hold pilots licenses.
Members of the State Aviation
Commission also are carefully watch
ing the progress of a bill now
before the Legislature to give the

in that county.
Would Avoid Conflict.
The measure is before the House
Ways and Means Committee and Maj
Mason said the commissions chief
interest is to see that it does not con-
flict with the powers allotted the COM
mission when it was created in 1929.
Three of the five members of the
commission must be licensed pilots.

City Budget Out OF Reason

The city budget for the fiscal year 1885, as
adopted by the city dads Monday night, calls for
pendtures that outrageous for city this size.
The grand total is $74, 1887 1t would have been
much lower had the aldermen not listened to Mayor
Andy Bettwy
The budget is out Of reason in several instances.
Anticipated receipts will never reach the totals listed
in the budget
Receipts from license fees the past year amount
ed to $13,75172 Estimated license receipts for the
year are listed at $17673.57. This estimate is
made in face of the fact that when Bettwy was run
ming for office last spring he promised to cut the
license fees in half.
And Bettwy also promised last spring to do
away with dog tax Now he has in his budget that the
city will take in $3.50 the coming year Last year $676
was taken in He probably feels there is to be an in
crease in the dog population.
Bettwy anticipates increase in water receipts.
He promised to lower water rates when he ran for
office.
Bettwy anticipates $1OO in burial permits. Total
last year was $31. Does he think more people are 60
ing to die the coming year? Maybe he anticipates
there may be some public hangings.
Under the law the budget each year can be in
creased 10 percent but that is no reason if the city
dads have the interest Of the taxpayers at heart chat
they have to make the 10 percent increase It would
look lot better to decrease the budget each year by
that percent.

ARIZONA EDITORIAL CLIPPINGS
The Cut In The State Tax Rate

The state tax commission in setting the state
rate at Is cents for the ensuing fiscal year. cheered
the taxpayers Of Arizona, but not as much as might
have been expected. Yet considering the fact that
the annual budget increased for 1856 and 1886
81 by more than million dollars over that Of the pre-
ceding two years. reduction of from the dol
lar rate set in 1884 should bring great deal Of
ISOLATION.
The tax commission was inclined to earmark all
revenues from the sales taxes for payment of regst
cred warrants and had this been DONE the rate would
have been more than dollar On the hundred dollars
in valuation. The prediction freely was made in Phoe-
nix when the legislature in session that, if new
sales tax measure imposed, the rate would not
be above fifty cents; that, though now is shown to
have been in error Anyway cut has been made, and
hope remains that the load eventually will be light

Entitled To No Credit

We do not see where Mayor Bettwy is entitled
to any credit for lowering the tax rate Of S271 last
year to an estimated 90 cents for the 1856 fiscal
year.
The reduced rate is due to moratorium on the
citys bonded Indebtedness pending refunding, and
nothing more 1t is not due to any step of economy
on the part of the city administration.
Any individual or community can get temporary
relief by declaring moratorium Indebtedness but
eventually that indebtedness must be paid Such a
step as Bettwy has taken here is similar to an ind-
vidual owing note at bank, deciding they don't
want to pay it noW and taking chance that the bank
will not bring suit.
When a community puts through bond issue and
people good enough to buy those bonds surely the
community should keep faith and meet it's obligations
when they DUE
There is some consolation, however, in the mora
torium, and that is, it will be long time before any
will want to buy Nogales city bonds. That
the taxpayers here will not be saddled by any new
bond issues for many, many years. The ctys credit
already badly impaired through defaulting in pay
ment of interest and principal on bonds, bad
that Of person who refuses to meet his her
obligations at bank or store.
Had Bettwy been as insistent in cutting city
operating expenses he in getting moratorium
bonded Indebtedness the tax rate would have been
much lower than 90 cents
BettWy made attempt to cut costs of running
the city On the other hand he made every effort
possible to increase saddling the community with an
expense for the coming year that is entirely out of
line for a city this size.
His moratorium would have looked better had he
made CUTS instead of increases cost of running the
city.
