~ people would only cultivate a
sense of proportion and stop driving
much too fast in the hopes of saving
five minutes that they don't know
what to do with when they've saved

perfect peace and liberation as I'm

every ones lives by cutting in like

What gallantry! That kind of talk

Four Boys Hurt
At about the same time three
quarters Of a mile away four boys
were injured when the caterpillar
chain Of q tank on parade snapped
on the Charlottenburg Bridge, the
tank skidding on street car tracks
and ploughing into the crowds.
These incidents marred an
otherwise othly-running dem
onStration in which some $4,000
crack troops goose-stepped or
motored past Chancellor Hitler
for 2h hours, presenting to the
German nation and the world q
modern, expertly equipped mill
tary force Of the highest order,
recalling all the military glory Of
the KaiSer's empire.
Resuming the old imperial Gus
tom Of 1estowing birthday hon
ors," Chancellor Hitler presented
the baton of a field marshal to
Gen. Werner Won Blomberg, war
minister, and the stars Of full
admiral of the fleet to Admiral
Erich Raeder, commander Of the
navy, as all the nation celebrated
the reichsfuehrer's forty,Seventh
birthday.
Gen. Herman Wilhelm Goering,
air minister, and Gen. Freiherr
Won Fritsch, chief Of the army
command, were promoted to the
rank Of colonel generals, the
equivalent Of army commanders.
Hitler also decreed that Admiral
Raeder and Col. Gen. Won Fritsch
would henceforth have the same
official ranking as cabinet min
listers.
More than $4,000 soldiers, par
ticipated in the drill. Artillery
and tanks rumbled through the
streets while squadronS Of air
planes ro0red overhead.
A feature Of the celebrations
throughout the country was the in
duction of nearly every child be-
tween the ages Of 10 and II into
the "Reich Young Peoples Assoc
ciation." Baldur Won Schirach pro
claimed in . radio address:
"There Is to be no German
older than 10 years who is not
serving Hitler"
These youngsters will be pre-
pared to join the "Hitler Youth"
and other organizations as they
grow older. Pre-military training

Liberty Bell Toll
Freedom Echo

Radio listeners in England. where
the Fourth of July is just another
Saturday, may be surprised today to
hear the tolling Of the famous Lib
erty Bell, which 160 years ago sig
nailed the separation of the United
States from Great Britain.
The tolling of the Liberty Bell,
reading Of the Declaration of In
dependence and a description of the
fateful Boston Tea Party are three
Of the events scheduled during a 30
minute program starting at 2 pm,
which will be transmitted by short
wave to England for rebroadcast over
the British Broadcasting Co. stations.
The description of the Boston Tea
party will be made from the wharf
where the party, which was one of
the deciding factors in the Revolu-
,tion, occurred. The declaration and
sound of firecrackers to go with it
will come from New York. and the
ringing of the Liberty Bell from Phil
adelphia. A two-minute program
from the Capitol portico here is part
of the program, as are other brief
radio glimpses of America on the

A tortured conscience Is the only
repayment John M. cornen can offer
the Government for stealing $4,000.
In October, 1916, Cornell, a Navy
pay clerk, resigned. In May, 1918,
after q $4,000 shortage had been
found in his accounts, the Navy De-
partment ordered him court martialed.
It was only a gesture, for Cornell had
disappeared.
In July, 1918, Robert E. Hastings"
enlisted in the Sd Anti-Aircraft Bat
terry at Fort Morgan, Ala, and went
across with the outfit. Followed over
seas service, and in January, 1919, he
was discharged at Fort Monroe, Va.

he never forgot 1t.

BOY IS NEAR DEATH
FROM 3-STORY FALL
8-Year-0ld William Jones Victim
of Accident at 1889
Newton Street.

Eight-year- William (Buddy)
Jones, pupil at Sacred Heart School
was reported near death in EMERGENCY
Hospital today after he fell from
the third-floor landing of fire escape
at the rear OF his home at 1889 New
ton street.
Buddy. who had been playing with
other children, went upstairs to get
a drink of water from his mother,
Mrs. William L. Jones. He had been
warned against going on the fire es-
cape, and as he left his apartment he
ran toward the corridor exit to the
emergency ladder, apparently with
the idea of teasing his mother.
Buddy slipped under the railing OF
the fire escape and clung for a few
moments to the iron flooring. He
lost his hold, however, and plunged
into the concrete areaway. Neighbors
picked up the child and hurried him
to Garfield Hospital. He later was
transferred to Emergency.
At the latter institution Buddy was
said to be unconscious and sinking
fast" His father is branch manager
for the Postal Telegraph Co.
