DICKINSON CONTENDER

DIES MONIES, June 3.-Senator Lester Dickinson of Iowa, persist ent New Deal critic who won a de- cisive victory for re-nomination in the Monday primary in Iowa, is a contender for the Republican nom- ination at Cleveland, party leaders here said today.
 Gov. Clyde Herring, consistent New Deal supporter, has been talked here as Democratic nominee, but it is considered doubtful if he will allow his name to appear against that of President Roosevelt.
 Senator Dickinson has been con- sidered for months as a possibility for the Republican race but his ultra ra-conservative tendencies have caused some of the more liberal to frown at his chances. His victory yesterday in the primary for re- nomination to the Senate has boosted his stock noticeably and many leaders here are of the theory he must be considered at Cleveland

FOREIGN AFFAIRS

.
 Weeks have gone by and, so far Adolf Hitler has given no reply to the questionnaire of British For eign Secretary Anthony Eden.
 In this, Eden, in his efforts to settle the tension aroused by the German reoccupation of the demil- itarized Rhineland, sought to learn just what Hitler wants in his de- mands for equality with the other European powers.
 For a time, there was delay brought on by the Italian occupa- tion of virtually all of Halle Sell assie's empire; there was delay brought on by consideration of ef- forts to lessen the tenseness be- tween Italy and Britain; delay nec- essitated by considering what course of action Britain would now follow at Geneva with respect to contin- uation of sanctions.
 But, inasmuch as all of these re- main unsettled, and inasmuch as the German situation is as much part of the European crisis as the Ital- ian, Britain now would like an an- swer.
 From the Wilhelmstrasse there came no reply.
 Instead Hitler mobilized his new fleet and reviewed it at Kie] ,ong the famous naval base of Inc old Germany
 One hundred units of the re- created German navy steamed past Hitler in Kiel Bay = "Vest-pock ct" battleships, submarines, cruis- CTS, destroyers and armored speed boats.
 It was the first public display of the submarines and speed boats.
 In Rome, another dictator staged a review.
 Il Duce, reviewing several youth battalions, shouted to the throngs
 Have we marched straight ahead up to this timer"
 The crowd roared out: Yes"
 Today" Il Duce continued. T say to you that we will march just as straight ahead in the, future"

NEW YORK, as of week ending May 30.-(By Associated Press) - The American Pioneer was the first vigilante, the first nightrider.
 The pioneers banded together as vigilantes to protect themselves from the brigands who preyed on settle ments, from the outlaw and the horsethief.
 They established the custom. But it turned into a practice used for other purposes. In many sec- tions of the country, nightriders have spread terror in the darkness, for their own ends.
 Down throughout the nations history, they have carried on the practice.
 The newest of these bands of nightriders, of terrorists, is styled "The Black Legion" Its officers wear robes of white, with peaked hoods. But the masses of privates wear robes of black, with <le skull and bones in white on the hood.
 Like other bands of nightriders, "The Black Legion" operated in the name of patriotism" Professedly, it's members were pledged to an ex- terminating campaign against Cath olics, Jews, negroes and radicals.
 They avowedly sought to create a dictatorship to gain their ends.
 It was in Michigan that the exis- tence and purposes of "The Black Legion" came to light. A young WPA worker, who refused to be- come a member of the terrorist band, was executed, shot to death. Thirteen persons, all confessedly members of the band, were appre- hended, others were sought. Au- thorities said the Lgion was or ganized in at least Is States, ex- tending from the Middle West into the East.
 The Michigan authorities sought the aid of the Federal Govern ment's Department of Justice Ag- ents in the investigation of the ter rorist band; they sought to invoke the so-called Lindbergh law. How ever, the law applies only to kid naping crimes wherein the victims were transported across a state line. But the Department of Jus tice promised what legal coopera- ton it could give, and it sought all available evidence.
