Gedeon, who came to the station
house to tell detectives what little he
knew of Irwin, was rather vague in
his concepts of the sculptor.
IT knew him perhaps in the same
way 1 knew other people" said
Gedeon, who was estranged from his
murdered wife and had not lived with
his family for four years. Il knew
very little about his personal life
He said he intended to stay neutral
in this whole affair until the murder
is solved and the killer behind bars.
Not Mentioned in Diary.
Inspector Lyons cleared up one i'm
portant point concerning the five-yea1
diary of "Ronnie" Gedeon, found IN
the murder apartment.
Nowhere in the diary did she men,

had been dismissed from her mind

for some time in the Gedeon home"
He did not identify the many ref

Flower when she was only 16, but the
marriage was annuled after short
time.
Lincoln Hauser, jr., an artist, to
whom "Ronnie" was reported engaged,
told police today he was planning
a trip to Europe to get away from the
murder scene.
"Ronnie" told him of several dis
putes she had had with Irwin, he
said, and how she resented the fact
that Irwin offered his affections both

The glove, which police believed is
Irwin's, was found in the Gedeon

Irwin would surrender to police or

he learned he was wanted.

BOLSHEVISM HIT
BY FUEHRER At.
NAzI CONGRESS.
Hitler Also DenounCeS
Jews as Parasites"
BY PIERRE J. HUSS


7 G.N.SO.-Ringing attacks upon
Bolshevism and a scathing de-
nouncement of Jews as race OF
parasites" were linked with new
demand for return of Germany's
colonies, in Chancellor Adolf Hit
ler's proclamation to the Nazi
Party Congress here today.
The Fuehrers speech, read to
the assembled multitudes by Adolf
Wagner, Bavarian Nazi leader,
was a paean of praise for the
accomplishments" of his regime.
II cannot make a greater
statement than that it is won
derful to be a German" he said.
ITO live in Germany means
happiness for all"
LAUDS ITALIAN PACT
Hitler's proclamation spoke Of
his Forthcoming meeting with Pre-
mier Mussolini to cement the
Italo-German pact Of friendship to
such an extent as to serve the
same purpose Of a military under
standing.
The anti.Bolshevist note was
predominant in the Fuehrers
message.
During the last few years."
he said. "BolSheViSm has at
tempted to spread chaos from
East to West.
Germany, in contrast, has
been trying to achieve social re-
construction through disciplined
revolution"
CITES HIGH WAGES
Hitler denounced the Soviet
revolution as abolition of national
intelligence and its replacement
by Jews-a race Of parasites"
The Marxist and Jewish eco
nomic systems, he told his hearers,
are based upon a constant striving
for higher wages while production
and buying power sink steadily.
The NaZis on the other hand,
Hitler declared, have solved the
problem of unemployment and
kept prices high and wages at the
same level.
FOOD SOURCE WORRIES
Turning to world economics,
Hitler asserted:
II warned the world previously
that the economic crisis could
not be solved by any interna-
tional collective efforts.
II emphasized that national
economic systems must be put in
order first.
I'VE are not awaiting any
economic miracles. Our firm
determination to make our ma
ton independent in vital fields
results from the arbitrary atti-
tude and insecurity of foreign
countries"
THE problem of food sup
plies" he admitted, lis the only
one that has caused us really
grave concern for years"
In the long rum" he said,
''it is unbearabIe that Germany
should be dependent year after
year upon whether her harvest
is good or bad"
SEEKS COLONIES
limiting at naturalization Of
industries, the Fuehrer said:
IF private business and indus
try Is unable to cope with the
tasks ahead, then the state may
be compelled to decree measures
necessary in the interests of all"
Referring to the colonial ques-
ton, he said:
Germany as a nation is too
small without colonial expan-
sion to guarantee safe and
permanent nourishment for our
population"
VERSAILLES TREATY DEAD
Hitler summed up the question
Of world politics as follows:
II wish to state three things.
First, the Treaty of Versailles
is dead. Second, Germany is
free. Third. our defense forces
will guarantee our freedom in
the future.
1.-THE friendship between
Germany and Italy is proving
an element of security in Eur
ope. Our agreement with
Japan serves the same object"

CORN FARMERS
SPEED PLANTING
Use Headlights on Tractors
in Effort to Overcome
Delay by Rains.

~
CHICAGO, May 13.-Taking ad-
vantage Of favorable weather condi-
tions, corn belt farmers were working
at top speed today blowing, planting
corn and attempting to overcome the
delay imposed by several weeks OF
drenching rains.
From one to three weeks behind with
Spring work, farmers promptly went
on day-andn night schedule with the
advent Of sunny, warm weather, which
began to dry up their sodden fields.
They were making few hours of sleep
suf1lce in order to get seed in the
ground while there is ample moisture
for quick termination.
Headlights on Tractors.
Headlight-equipped tractors can be
seen and heard chugging across fields
far into the night. Every hour counts.
Some farmers have foregone the noon
day farm house meal for quick lunch
while driving tractors pulling plows.
These farmers hope for bumper corn
crop next year They hope to make
unnecessary importation of corn from
the Argentine, from where 10000
bushels arrived here yesterday.
From Nebraska came reports today
that ground conditions for corn at the
present time were the best in several
years. Very little planting has been
done. however, and farmers were
rushing their work. o. S. Bare, ex-
tension entomologist. warned, how
ever, that corn or anything else in
the eastern part of the State will
