NAZ|S FAIL To
OBTAIN DANZ|G

Copyright. 1885. BY United Press
DANzIG, April 8. -U.P)-Ger-
man Nazism suffered a severe NOR
al setback IN Danzig's diet election,
returns showed today
The Nazi party's leading orators
had come here to reinforce the
high pressure propaganda for
which Nazism is noted. The diet
election of yesterday was to have
been an unofficial plebiscite in
which the Germans of DanZig would
tell the world they wanted to re-
join Germany. The Nazis shot al
a two-thirds majority in the diet as
minimum, but actually hoped fol
a larger one.
Instead they polled 139, 200 of q
total of 100000 votes, on the basis
of provisional final returns. Theil
percentage of votes was 60.52. They
elected. it was indicated, A of tht
total of 70 members in the diet.
1t was estimated that Socialist!
would have IL seats, CentristS 9
Nationalists three and Poles anc
Communists two each.
Their apparent victor was a de-
feat. They had 38 seats in the
previous diet, and in addition three
members Of other parties turned
Nazi, to make their actual total Al
Hence they gained but three seats
They wanted a total of at least 49,
and believed they would get more.
In addition, there were charges
of Nazi irregular voting and of ter
rorism to prevent opponents from
voting.
The failure of Nazis to win a
two-t thirds majority for complete
control in the diet. and in the SEN
ate whose members are elected by
the diet, was the more serious be-
cause of the invasion Of Nazi ora
tors.
Hermann Goering, Rudolph Hess,
DR.. Paul Joseph Goebbels and 9TH

was sounded by Goebbels in the cli-
mactic speech Saturday night:

CONGRESSMAN
HEAPS INSULTS
ON HUEY LONG
Calls 'Kingfish" A Political
Tom-Tit" And Derides Plan
For Sharing Wealth

WASHINGTON, April 8. W.P) -
Rep. Percy L. Gassaway, boss of a
tough bunch of Oklahoma cowboys
who boasts he already has given
one fellow congressman a sound
thrashing, called Sen Huey P. Long
names" and waited today to see
what would happen.
Shucks,n Gassaway said in re-
ferring to Long, HE amt now
kingfish at all-he is just a poll
teal tom-tit."
He ridiculed Longs share our
wealth" program and offered. IA
cetiously. his own new light plan"
He challenged Long to get your
eyes open, you political tom-tit."
Nov if you-all don't know what
a tom-tit is. I'll tell you. 1t is a
very small bird that tries to imi-
tate a woodpecker.. 1t will attack
the biggest tree in the forest-just
like the kingfish is attacking Pres
ident Roosevelt-and after ham,
mering away vigorously for a
while, he flies around the tree TO
see if he has knocked it over or
pecked hole through it,"
GaSsaway poked fun at Longs
boast he would make every man a
king and offered to go still further
and make every woman a queen. -
His new light plan" proposes:
Pick out the richest man in the
world, and then let congress issue
enough money to every individual
in such amounts that will make
him equally as wealthy as the rich
est man living.
This modern kingfish," he said,
"this body-guarded and militarized
dictator of Louisiana, proposes to
grind the poor man and the la
boring man down to a lousy $4,000
year in his share the wealth
plan. Shame on you Huey for be-
ing so tight.
How the dickens can man
keep a fleet of high-powered au-
tomobiles, airplanes and an army
Of servants and the like in a man
sion on $4,000 a year?"
GaSsaway said his plan would
reduce government costs by do
ing away with every branch of
government except printing presses
and the United States treasury"
He and Long both were born on
August 30, but Gassaway said he
had checked up and found "the
kingfish was born in the dark of
the moon, while 1 was born in the
light of the moon"
my old Negro nanny used to
say be careful child. about play
ing with these write trash born
in the dark of the moon. because
they have a tendency TO go down.
