needed moisture yesterday, We'd

ported completely seeded for this
season. The moisture of this week.

NAzI PROTEST
IN DODD TALK
IS REJECTED
Hull Tells Envoy Former
u. S. Ambassador Free
to Voice Views

WASHINGTON, Jan. Is. (UP)
In polite but firm language Sec
rotary of State Cordell Hull yes
terday rejected a protest from
German Ambassador Hans DECK
hoff over a speech made in New
York Thursday night by William
E. Dodd, formerly ambassador to
Berlin, pointing out that Dodd is
an American citizen entitled to
voice his private views.
Dieckhoff fastened to the de-
partment shortly after it opened
for the day. He carried excerpts
of Dodds remarks in which the
former diplomat charged the Nazi
rule of Adolf Hitler is "more abb
solute than any medieval emperor
of Germany" and that he "has
killed as many personal opponents
in five years as Charles II cxecut-
ed in 90"
Hull declined to cite the exact
passages which aroused Dieckhoff
but said he reminded the German
envoy that the right of free
speech is observed in this coun-
try, that Dodd is now a private
citizen, and that the government
does not have the legal or constl-
tutional power to control or CEN
sor remarks Of individual citizens.
Dodd resigned his Berlin post
December z after four years in
the German capital. He made no
secret Of his antipathy for Hitler
and Nazi-ism and was persona non
grata in high German circles. His
speech last night was, however,
his first public exposition of his
reasons for resigning.
Although the German embassy
withheld comment, it was indicat-
ed that Dieckhoff decided to pro-
test informally and vigorously
without awaiting instructions
from Berlin. When his predeces-
sor, Dr.. Hans Luther, quit last
fall, it was understood that a
contributory cause was his fail
ure to act promptly when Fueh-

An opera boufTe toucn was inject
ed into the southern tilibuStcl
against the anti-lynch bill yester-
day when Sen. Josiah w. Bailey
d., n. CO. raised the question
whether Secretary Of the Interior
Harold L. IckeS takes baths in the
blue marble bathroom adjoining
his private office. Bailey proposed
that regardless Ickes be sent to
Russia to discover a substitute for
bathing.
Basing his attack on Ickes' re-
cent speech assailing monopoly
anil the 900 families who rule the
nation" Bailey, New Deal foe,
accused the secretary of using as
his "Bible" the Lundberg book
"America's 60 Families which,
he said. contains the theory that
frequent bathing betrays a "feel-
ing of SubconScious guilt"
Asserting that henceforth the
Lundberg volume would be known
as the "Ickes Bible" Bailey read
an excerpt from the book which
stated that frequent washing OF
the hands betrayS a subconsclous
feeling of guilt" Then, .dramati-
cally raising his arms above his
head ne cried:
al warn you senators not to
battle too often. If you wash your
hands you may be guilty"
"What are you going to do with
a secretary of the interior who
publishes to the world that he got
his inspiration from that kind of
source?" Bailey asked after crltl-
Ching the book and its author.
He was asked by Sen. Ellison
D. Smith o., S. c. what signiti-
canoe he attached to the new IN
terror department building that is
"honeycombed" with bathrooms.
He replied, give heard about
the private bathroom in blue mar

never seen it. l wouldn't want to
go so far, however, as to say that
Mr.. Ickes ever bathed. | wouldn't
even say he has washed his hands.

that he got bathtub and listened

W. L. Gibbs, Splitting Stem
Has Unique Find

WI. Gibbs yesterday brought
to the Times-News office a unique
find, in the shape of a drawn let
ter "E", which he located in split
ting the trunk of an apple tree,
felled near Jonas street. The let
ter is made by a portion Of the
wood being darker than the rest,
and is about four inches high.
Mr.. Gibbs was splitting the
trunk when he discovered that ne
had cleft the marking in two SO
that he had 1t on two pieces OF
wood. He believed that it had
been the result of someone initial
ing the bark some time previous.
and that the tree in process OF
growth had covered over the
marking. That he split it open
lust at a point to reveal the initial
was of course accidental.
