Hitler Declares War
On Worlds JeWry

SCHWERIN, Germany, Feb. IL
UNS0.-Chancellor Adolf Hitler
pledged Germany to conduct q
war to the finish on Jews through
out the world today as he de-
livered a biting attack against
Jewry over the bier of Wilhelm
Gutzloff, Nazi agent slain in
Switzerland.
Hitler accepted what he said
he considered a direct challenge
from the Jews themselves in the
Staying of Gutzloff, killed eight
days ago at Davos, Switzerland,
by David Frankfurter, Jewish
medical student.
Buried as Martyr
Gutzloff was buried as a martyr
to Noxidom with highest honors.
Hitler declared he was the first
Nazi to fall abroad, and he char.
acterized the Jewish assassin as
being 'for the first time symbolic
and representative" of all anti
Nazi elements. He declared:
"It Is . leaf Of glory for SwitE-
erland and Germany that no
body allowed himself this time to
be hired for the deed, but that
the spiritual perpretratOr was at
the same time the assassin.
'"This party member has been
felIed by the same power which
is carrying its fight mot only
against Germany, but against
any free and independent nation
in the world. We recognize the
challenge and accept It"
Referring to Jewry as that hor-
rible Super-state power" Hitler
continued:
"They were responsible for
our 1918 collapse. They have
always been responsible for the
misery OF the German people.
"On our road to power there
is no assaSsinated adversary, no
attempt to murder people. We
never fought with such weapons.
Every local branch office and
every Mani will keep his name

back on its perpetratOr.

~" NEEDS HELP
OF LEGISLATURE
REGENTS DECLARE
Statement Says Support Relative
To It's Task Is Less Than
In 1921

The University or minnesota Is
asking the 1887 Legislature to set
it's annual support appropriation
for each year of the biennium
1937-39 at 100000 and in addi-
ton to re-establish the yearly
building appropriation Of 100000.
The Board Of Regents also asks
permission to issue certificates of
Indebtedness so that 81, 800, 900 may
become Immediately available for
deferred building.
For last year and for the year
now under way the maintenance
appropriation has been s3,100,000.
AS long ago as 1881, however, a re-
quest was made for $3,825, 900.
Speaking for the Board Of Re
gents, President l.. d. Coffman sets
forth six reasons for asking a ma.
jor increase in support funds.
While collegiate enrolment has
grown by IS percent in the fifteen
years since 1921, total funds an
nually appropriated by the state
have actually declined.
On "per student" basis, the
state provided 1892 a year for
each student in 1922 and this
year provides but $185. Otherwise
stated, it spent 81 then and is now
spending only 56 cents.
The number of young people
graduating from Minnesota high
schools is continuing to grow, as 1t
has over the past fifteen years, and
charted trends show that this will
continue for some years into the
future.
University of Minnesota enroll
ment is now the largest it has ever
been.
The University is experiencing
increasing difficulty in holding the
best members of it's staff and is
facing the likelihood of conducting
it's work with a larger percentage
of teachers in the lower ranks.
The increasing number of stud
ents is not only jeopardizing teach
ing standards but Is interfering
with the productive work Of the
faculty.
The statement says in part:
- 10 iioI IiiS Wioh VI thC INC-
gents to become involved in invid-
ious comparisons but they do feel
it is only fair in support of their
case to call attention to the fact
that according to figures prepared
by the state auditors office the ap-
preparations from the revenue
fund for 1885 for all departments,
including the university, were 1877
per cent larger than those made in
1921, while the appropriation made
to the university for all purposes
including extension and research
were only 3.3 percent larger, and
the appropriations for genera,
support other than special items
were actually less"
A signed statement by President
Coffman says: Time and again we
must remind ourselves that youth
must have it's opportunity now or
never. The youth of this genera
tion will pass this way only once;
they have but one opportunity, just
one chance to qualify and equip
themselves for the consideration of
the problems of their day."

WHOSE IN THE DOG HoUsEs

For information Of those mar
ried men who get in bad occas-
ionally, or so to say are "in the
dog house." for some minor in
fraction, ETC., ETC., an organiza-
ton for their benefit has been
formed. The new organization,
known as Doghouse, Inc, has
been formed In Baltimore. It's
functions are to provide a quiet
retreat, where those who are "in
bad" may think things over and
find consolation among fellow
unfortunates. The head Of Ma
tional Kennel No. Is Al w.

however, that an organization
of this kind is necessary in Sauk

Re-Investigation
Of All On Relief
Certifying Agency Making New
Survey To Determine Those
Most In Need

A re-survey of the work relief
rolls in Stearns county was start
ed last week to determine families
most in need. Instructions In ac-
cord with WPA requirements gov
erning the requested re-check were
received the fore part Of the week
by Mr.. Dyer Campbell, of st.
Cloud, county certification offic-
er, from Benjamin Youngdahl,
director. Coordinated Field Ser
vice, which agency has been re-
quested to conduct the survey. Be
cause there are not sufficient
funds to give employment to- all
unemployed persons, WPA Is desir-
Gus of restricting employment to
those most in need.
Revision Of work relief rolls is
Of special Importance to county Of
ficials as it's first objective will be
to eliminate those who, as a result
Of the recovery program and i'm
provement in private employment,
are no longer in need of relief. In
sofar as quota restrictions will per-
NIT, those removed will be replaced
by other employables who are still
in need. It is expected that this will
result in reduction in the cost of
local direct relief.
Co-incident with the re-check will
begin the termination of WPA's
share of drouth relief which was
started in July as an emergency
measure and designed to terminate
about Heccmber 1. BY that time,
most o. the 1900 d. outh sufferers
who have been given this temper
ary employment, will have had an
opportunity to earn enough cash to
meet their pressing needs during
the winter.
