Germans Protest, Hull Voices His
Regret Over Attack Upon Hitler

WASHINGTON, Mar. 5. (UP)
Suggestions by New York City's
fiery little mayor, Fiorello H. La
Guardia that the forthcoming New
York Worlds fair include a "Hit-
Ter chamber of horrors" drew a
sharp protest from the German
embassy yesterday and an infor-
NAL expression of regret from
Secretary of State Cordell Hull.
Hull followed up his expressions
of yesterday with formal apol-
ogy today.
DR.. Hans Thomson, counsellor
of the embassy, conveyed the pro-
test and it was understood that
ne described LaGuardia's remarks
as unbecoming an American Off

Dinner Address
| SOLONS ARE ABOUT
EQUALLY DIVIDED

WASHINGTON, Mar. 8. (UP).
President Roosevelt thrust his ju-
dietary reorganization program to-
ward q bitter congressional battle
today.
Confronted by o senate almost
evenly divided on his plan to en-
large the supreme court, President
Roosevelt uncompromisingly car
ried his campaign to the nation in
radio address to $4,000 guests
at Democratic victory dinners
throughout the country.
He attacked the supreme court
and the judiciary directly-and
he promised to do so again in his
fireside chat to the nation sche-
duled for March 8 and as many
times thereafter as he felt neces-
sary to achieve his purpose Of
making democracy work.
"You know who assumed the
power to veto and did Veto" the
first New Deal farm and labor leg
islative programs, he said to his
audience last night.
"If we do not have the courage
to lead the American people where
they want to 60, someone else will
If we would keep faith If
we would make democracy sue
coed, I say we must act-now."
Mr.. Roosevelt flatly rejected
compromise or long delay in the
judiciary reorganization program
which he said was essential to en-
sure enactment of social and eco
nomic legislation. He made it
plain that he was in the fight to
the end and that he would fight
hard.
He also made plain that he
would not be q candidate for q
third term in 1910.
But almost while he spoke, foes
Of his program conferred on plans
| to answer him Immediately. They
will say that he failed to meet the
charge that he seeks to "pack"
the supreme court. They also
made plans to hold firm the oppo-
sition lines in the senate which
they claim will block the admin
istration program.
At an informal conference Of
FIVE leading opposition senator's,
both Democratic and Republican,
plans to counter-attack were dis
cussed. The tentative preparations
include:
/. A probable reply to the pres
ident's speech in the senate on
Monday by one Of the more prom
inent leaders Of the opposition.
2. A decision to summon oppo-
sition witnesses Of national repu-
tation and liberal tendencies-in-
