STATE EMPLOYES
 MAY ALL BE CUT
Continued From Page D

(Continued From Page D Thus, with $400,O0O not figured in the budget by the General Assembly for running state institutions, the $l 100000 "over-run" next year for the welfare department, total of $27 100000 is figured necessary and this is $5,400,000 more than the esti- mated receipts.
 Governor Must Decide
 The governor must decide wheth- CT he will balance the budget at all costs; whether he believes business conditions will improve enough to warrant attempting to run the state with the large deficit confronting in event there is not betterment of con- ditions; and whether to cut out the $5 100000 from the budget at the outset.
 This last would mean salary cut for all state employees, it is under stood, as means to defray the in- creasing costs of the welfare department. The governor, however, has indicated that he is studying the budget problem and will not make any statement beyond advising department heads that economies of drastic nature must be effected in their preparation of their depart mental budgets.
 The attorney-general probably will be asked to inform the gover- nor concerning his right to make a general pay cut although it is be- lieved he has this power by the act giving him control of state finances

Republicans Upset As
 Hoover Lauds Hitler
"Germany for Germans" Fails to Impress Thousands
 of Connecticut Residents; Leaders Embarrassed

These remarks are rather puzzling since every country in the world has felt that Hitler is sitting on top of a keg of dynamite, so to speak. His invasion of Austria. The manner in which he has stifled religion and education in Germany have caused protest after protest to be register ed against those actions by other countries.
 Puzzled
 Despite this, Hoover would have the American people condone these actions as perfectly legal and for the best interests of all concerned. How ever, his opinion is not shared by the recognized Republican leaders in the state for they are shaking their heads and pondering over the seri- ousness of Hoover's remarks, fear full that they will cause more dis sention in the Republican ranks. This new problem, made possible by the former president, coupled with the grand jury problems are real headaches for the party leaders, for all they can see at the present time is oblivion for the once Grand Old Party.
 Troopers of the Canaan barracks escorted Hoover from the New York state line to Norfolk and then back again, when his visit had ended.

parently found an ardent supporter in this country in the person of former President Herbert Hoover At dinner held last Friday at the home of U. s. Senator Frederick c Wolcott in Norfolk Hoover lauded the work of Hitler and pointed out That Hitler was MERELY trying to create a German nation for GERMANS.
 C. 0. P. Upset
 Around the state capital here, since that speech was made public through the press the recognized leaders of the once powerful Re- publican party are directing severe criticism against the stand taken by Hoover and feel that Hoover's visit into this state was to build his ground work for the presidential nomination on the Republican tick ct. These same leaders are of the opinion that his visit here, the man. ner in which the people responded to his visit are true indications that Hoover is still unpopular with the rs nk and file.
 If it was the intention of Hoover to visit this state in ordc" to get public reaction to his visit, If his visit was really setting the ground work for the Republican presiden- tial election, then both intents fail cd miserably. Hoover by his ill di- rected remarks will not have helped tlG Connecticut Republican party but rather he will have hurt the G. O. P. even as much as have the grand jury probes in Bridgeport and Waterbury before which some of the outstanding Republican leaders Of Connecticut have paraded.
 Consternation
 Perhaps no remarks made by a political aspirant have caused so much conSternation as have the re- marks of Hoover. Those remarks po- litical leaders tell me, will cause Hoover and perhaps the state Re- publican party many friends and former supporters.
 In speaking of Herr Hitler, Hoover said in part:
 He (Hitler) is a natural leader, he possesses a wonderful personality, he is great man. Hitler is SIMPLY trying to create a German nation for GERMANS ONLY. He is uniting all the Germans of Central Europe together under one principal. There is no unemployment in Germany, there is no unrest. Germany is not looking for war. Rather she is or the defense, stunning war and avoiding war"

NO REVOLUTION
 IN MEXICO YET
Resigned Year Ago

 Cedillo resigned nearly year ago from his post as secretary of agri- culture, due to a break with the president. Ever since then the gov ernment has taken military precau- tions against possible uprising in the state of San Luis Potosi, the generals stronghold. The status there approaches one of martial law because the army is acting as spe- cial police force.
 Gen. Cedillo was named to the Michoacan command but deferred his departure to take up his new duties, pleading ill health, and there were reports that he did not intend to obey the government. He asked leave of absence and this leave expired yesterday. It was assumed that his talk with the president concerned formal extension of leave.
 Gen. Rivas Cullen, who succeed ed Cedillo as commander in chief of the San Luis Potosi military area, returned hurriedly to his post yes- terday because of reports of a threatened uprising. He told the United Press by telephone that all was tranquil.
 Welcome Show Down
 Reports of possible revolt of Ce- dillo's followers seemed at least partly due to the governments diff faculties in handling the oil situa- tion, and it's suspension of diplo- matic relations with Great Britain The feeling seemed to be that if Ce- dillo really intended to resist the government, now was the time However, there were strong indica- tions that the government if any, thing would welcome a show down in the belief that Cedillo's men could be put out of action quickly First the government believes that Cedillo's once strong division of the center" a sort of private army, has been reduced to a fraction of its former size; secondly, Cedillo's po- sition has been weakened by the transfer of his key men from the area to new posts; thirdly, the fine Pan American highway passes through San Luis Potosi. Over this the government could send a large force at once to put down any out break.

Chinese Admit Retreat

Chinese Admit Retreat
 Chinese authorities admitted that most of their troops had withdrawn from the HsuchoW area, to escape encirclement and so that man power might be preserved to prolong the war by exhausting the Japanese. De- spite the retreat, the Chinese per sistently denied that the Lunghai railroad had been cut.
 In taking Siaohsien, which they regarded as the key to Hsuchow,- their objective in months of fighting the Japanese said the Chinese re- sisted stoutly but were forced to re- treat.
 All news from the front told of Japanese advances in their most de- termined offensive of the entire war, designed to retrieve humiliating de- feats several weeks ago northeast of Hsuchow
 Missions Bombed
 Hankow, China, May 16-(UP)- Japanese planes dropped between 50 and 60 bombs on civilian areas of Chengchow today and caused serious damage to American and other for eign mission hospitals, advices from Chengchow said.
 Four hundred persons were re- ported killed or wounded.
 Dr. s. K. AyreS, Atlanta, Ga, of the American Southern Baptist mis- sion, telegraphed that IS Japanese planes bombed Chengchow at dawn and that 70 per cent of the 30 bombs they dropped fell in civilian areas including hospiatl properties. The remainder of the bombs, he added, struck in the vicinity of the Lung hai railroad - the presumable ob- jective.
 Catholic Cathedral Hit
 Bombs damaged the Roman Cath olic cathedral and destroyed the res- idence of Chinese members of mis- sion hospital staff, Ayres reported. One patient was killed and a nurse was wounded, Ayres said, and mem- bers of hospital staffs were digging trenches around missions as pre- caution against further raids.
 Chinese dispatches from Cheng- chow indicated that Japanese planes had been bombing rnercilessly since Friday. Chinese alleged that mos sion properties were bombed delib- srately. They said that not only had the Italian consul here submit ted detailed map of mission prop critics to the Japanese but that Jap anese had taken aerial photographs of the entire area to guide pilots.

Old Terminal Hotel
 Becomes Holocaust
(Contlnued from Page D

Parker said he would investigate the chance that it originated from an explosion in the basement near the kitchen where varnish and shellac used in re-decorating were stored.
 The elevator shaft sucked the flames from the basement to the top of the hotel as though it were a chimney. The fire licked through the entire building so quickly that its occupants had small chance of es- cape.
 Under Control Quickly
 Within an hour firemen had the flames under control, but they al ready had devastated all of the hotel but the outside walls.
 T. w. Williams, Southern Railway worker who was having lunch in an adjoining cafe, apparently was the first person to notice the flames shooting from the hotel. He said that as he ran across the street tc turn in an alarm he saw man jump from the top floor.
 His pajamas were flaming like a torch" he said. "He bounced like rubber ball when he hit and landed clear across the street."
 The task of identification was complicated by the fact that prac- tically all of the guests were in night clothes and their other be- longings were lost in the fire.
 May Not Be Identified
 Police said that many of the vic- tins probably never would be iden- tified. The majority of them were believed to be white guests, mostly men.
 The hotel, across the street from the Terminal Station was of brick construction with floors supported by wooden SillS.
 Fire Chief o. J. Parker said he believed it was impossible for any of the occupants to have lived through it. He said that when the first fire companies arrived "the building looked as though it had been hit by a gasoline torch"
 The hotel, located in downtown Atlanta, was so constructed that the charred floor sills dropped through, leaving the walls intact. Chief Park CT said some of the victims sleeping in the fourth and fifth floors might have been buried in the basement by the debris.
 The cause of the fire had not been determined.
 It spread into an adjoining cafe where several persons were injured. Saw One Man Jump
 T. w. Williams, Southern Railway worker, said that he saw the flames from the cafe adjoining and pulled fire alarm.
 "As I ran across the street I saw a man jump from the top story in his flaming pajamas," Williams said. He bounced like rubber ball and
