Schacht's Resignation
Turned Down by Hitler

BERLIN, May / GNS0.-Dr.
Hjalmar Schacht, minister of eco
nomics and president of the Reichs-
bank, smarting at having been
placed in a subordinate position
to Air Minister Goering when the
latter was made Germany's finan-
cial dictator, offered his resigna-
ton to Chancellor Hitler Wednes-
day, it was reported today.
The reichSfuehrer refused to
accept it, however. AS a result
of Hitler's refusal, Schacht ap-
peared at a meeting at the chan
celery, where SO leading German
industrialiSts held what was de.
scribed as a stormy session over
the question of devaluation of the
mark and this years industrial
levy. The levy furnishes the fund
with which German exports are
subsidized.
Exporting industrialiSts, sup.
ported by Nazi politicians, were
reported to have demanded devalu
alton, but this was strongly op,
posed by Schacht and no definite
decision was reached. 1t is be.
lieved, however, Schacht won his
point o. enforcing the export levy
for another year. Not word of
the meeting was allowed to be
printed in the German press.

Thousands Of persons have come

1.-THE Trail of the Pink Petals
is the largest single event of the
two-day festival. After months
of work, planning and rehearsing
the parade is held and in an
hour all the work of a year is

depict the story of the Shenan.

settlement by white men to the
present day, which covers three
major wars.

result the festival is being held
in perfect weather while the
apple trees whose fruit is the
valleys greatest money crop are
not yet in full blom.
This situation was brought
about by cold and rainy weather
which retarded the blossoms.
Most of the downtown area has
been roped off for the parade.
Ball Closes Fete
The Handley School esplanade
is the scene of practically all of
today's activities. Queen Shenan'

The festival will be brought to
a close tonight with the queens

time an apple blossom ball will
be held at the Hotel DruSilla at

ued writing Reaguer letters and
had asked for funds to buy an
automobile and for other pur-
poses.
Fatal Night Recalled
During the second week Of Oc-
tober Mrs. Wood left her home at
Fairfax and returned to Culpeper
to visit her mother, Mrs. Dolores
Fletcher. Annie O'Bannon, II, a
cousin, was visiting there at the
same time. On October II
Reaguer called at the home in his
small coupe.
Reaguer and Mrs. Wood were
closeted together in the Fletcher
home for nearly two hours, the
jury was told, and when they
emerged, Reaguer declared that
he would take Mrs. Wood and
Annie OBannon to washington
that day rather than have them
travel by bus. The three arrived
late in the evening and went to
the hotel where the tragedy &C.
Cured.
Annie O'Bannon, who had reg.
istered for the three, was in an
other room at the time Of the
Staying.
Jealousy Charged
The Government, represented
by Assistant United States At
torneys Goldstein and Cecil R.
Helm, claimed that Reaguer took
the life of the young bride in a
fit of jealous passion. The de.
tense claimed lack Of premedi.
tation and a complete legal ir'
responsibility due to Reaguer's
mental condition, a result of the
malady with which he is af'
flicted.
Governments Case
The Government, however, had
pictured Reaguer as a relentless
killer. He had seduced Willie Mae
when she was hardly more than
a child, it was charged, and had
climaxed years of illicit relation
ship by Slaughtering her when he
knew she belonged to another. In
his closing arguments, Assistant
District Attorney Irwin Goldstein
told the jury:
"The defendant started her
off when she was Is. He defiled
her body, ruined her soul, and
now tears from her the last
shred of her reputation, holding
her up naked for the morbid
gaze of the crowd"

rent international rumors that
Germany intends to invade Aus
tria and Czechoslovakia .wer
branded "lies" by Chancellor
Adolf Hitler today in a May Day
address broadcast throughout the
nation.
Addressing 100000 gathered be-
fore him in a great labor cere'
mony in the Lustgarten, Hitler
proclaimed the Reich's intentions
were solely peaceful. and he
scored persons abroad Lying
about Germany.
Here his audience interrupted,
and cries Of Jews! Jews!" were
raised.
Defends Peace Offer
Speaking in a hoarse voice and
coughing frequently, Hitler ex-
pressed disappointment that the
world had failed to echo" his
latest peace offer. He said:
"Our offer was plain, but
why is it they look upon it
with distrust? Why do people
abroad start lying about Ger
many again? Why do they
claim Germany wants to in
wade Austria and CzechOSlO-
vakia?"
The spectators cried:
"Jews! JewS!"
Eyes, it is the wellknOwn
- international clique which does
not desire peace which takes
an interest in inStigating one
nation against the other"
The cry Jews! Jews!" was
heard again from the crowd.
Denies Plea for War
Hitler denied charges Germany
was planning to wage war on
the rest of the world. Furiously,
he shouted:

lives of millions of my country"

nance the honor and reputa-

eve want to preserve peace
because we take an innermOSt
interest in peace and also be-
cause we are competing with
our own tremendous domestic
tasks, which we want to solve
at our own convenience.
"This some foreign politicians
do not seem able to realize.
You foreign nations had better
get through with your own af-
fairs and leave us to peace.
APPEALS FOR PEACE
1--WE have never stretched our
hands out to trap something
which does not belong to us.
On the contrary, we have ex-
tended our hand to others to
demonstrate our will to peace.
although we have become
united again and strong, we
never have threatened anybody
and we are not going to do So. .
81 would rather live with the
poorest German than be a king
anywhere else"
Regarding Germany's domestic
problems, Hitler said:
"It took the Egyptians 1000
years to build the pyramids. We
are a visible example of the re-
markable will power of a nation
aiming at a certain, definite
goal.
"Most people believe the pyra-
I1iCe are useless think the
Egyptians knew what they were
doing"
This was believed to be an IN
direct reply to a recently-pub
lished article asserting pyramid
building" will not remedy unem
ployment.

Child Drama
Saturday

Sleeping Beauty" which will
open the Children'S Theater of
New York's fifth season in Wash
ington, when it comes to the Ma
tional Theater, Saturday morning,
served to introduce this city to the
popular theater group five years
ago.
In all that time this is the first
repeat performance" the Chill
dren's theater has given here.
Something Of a record when one
realizes that it has brought "a
plays in all to the Capital.
Tales Of fantasy and fairies are
among those which the Children's
Theater does best-aS those can
attest who saw the beautiful
Beauty and the Beast" Of last
season. Charming little Jewel
Morse, the Beauty" of that play,
will have the same role in the cur
rent production.
Sleeping Beauty" is really an
allegory built about the sleep of
nature during the cold winter
months, and her awakening at the
kiss Of spring. The story is found
in slightly varying forms in early
Egyptian literature, as well as in
ancient Hindu writings. Perrault
and Grim each retold the tale in
comparatively recent times. It is
safe to say it Is immortal.
Thus far only season seats have
been available for the children's
plays. Tickets for THE Sleeping
Beauty" are on sale at the National
Theater box office.
