May Zone Of
Gang Missed
at Clements
WANDA BANK, Glenn
ENTS LIQUOR STORE
VISITED IN RAIDS

Minneapolis-(A) close
to persons investigating the
cream can" bank burglaries to-
day said there were indications of
an imminent break in the case
which was centering around an
ex-convict companion of a bur
glar slain by police here Monday.
Federal, state and local agen-
cies continued to question Bertrue
Denzer, 81, paroled convict who
confessed he was one of a gang
that attempted to burglarize the
Vergas State bank last fall.
He also confessed he was a
companion of Carl Erickson, kill
ed by police who laid trap in
the Ell Lago theatre and surprised
the pair in front of the safe.
The Vergas job has been laid
to the cream can" burglars who
attacked 10 northwest banks the
past year. .....
The gang escaped a plant
near Clements November %,
after an attempted robbery of
the Wanda bank, when state
men had trouble with equip
melt used by them and federal
men who lay in wait at the
Peter Miller farm after burglar
equipment was found in straw
stack there. The gang is believ-
ed to have robbed the Clements
liquor store OF $3.50 in a safe
lob November Is.
Denzer, however, denied he was
connected with the gang in any
other raid. Federal agents would
not say whether he was one of the
four or five men who fled the
Clements trap.
Denzer did implicate a third
man, however. He said he, Erick-
son and another man had tied up
the Waterman at the Niles thea
tire here January % and broken
into the safe. He said third man
also was involved in the Ell Lago
theatre burglary, was wounded
by shotgun pellets and fled with
him. ~.
This third man today appeared
voluntarily at, police headquarters
here and surrendered He was
Immediately jailed and was to be
questioned later this afternoon.
He was accompanied by an at
torney and relative.

.Upturn Seen
in Egg Prices
STORAGE HOLDINGS UN.
USUALLY LOW; FALL
BOOSTS CONSUMPTION

The outlook for a good egg
market is optimistic, according to
Mrs. Carson Rote, Redwood Falls
hatchery woman.
Although the present market is
comparatively low-farmer's re-
ceived 13 cents dozen for eggs
here Wednesday = Mrs. Rote
points out several factors which
will tend to counteract the low
trend in the future.
Storage holdings of eggs thro-
ughout the United States jan
uary l this year were less than
one-half as large as the five year
average, she says, 100000 cases as
compared to 831 900 cases year
ago and five year average OF
631 900.
Because of lower prices, egg
consumption is rapidly increasing
she points out.
Other factors which will bal
ance heavy fresh supplies, due to
the mild winter are: heavy Stor-
age demand, continued improve
nent of consumers income and
buying of eggs by the govern
ment. A meeting of officials is
now in progress for this purpose
Hatcheries are starting spring
operations and millions of eggs
will be used for Matching. These
conditions point to a rise in egg
prices in the near future. ~
Mrs. Rote states that the Inter-
national Baby Chick association
has appointed a committee sta.
toned in Washington whose du.
ties will be to secure cooperation

American egg producers agains
importations of foreign eggs ane

These imports, especially driee
eggs, the bulk of which come
from Chinese territory taken by
Japan, are menace to our grow

and affect egg prices in general
Heavy pressure to get the tariff
raised is being used in Washing
ton. $3.50. ~
Mrs. Rote stresses the import
ance of starting chicks early ir
order that they may come into
production in the fall for the
period of high egg prices.
Cockerels from early broods
may then be marketed ahead OF
the regular spring crop wher
prices are high.

SAFETY TALKS
Rural Traffic Accidents Increase

Rural Traffic Accidents Increase
Traffic accidents in the rural
districts are mounting by leaps
and bounds. Since 1924, the Ma
tional Safety council says, motor
vehicle fatalities have increased
172 per cent. In cities over 900
population they went up but 80
per cent.
Of course, the council points out,
a large part of this increase may
be the result of much-increased
rural travel. But most traffic au-
thorities believe, however, that
the more favorable city record
can be traced to the more effec-
tive traffic control measures in
municipalities.
In 1887, the loss of life to traffic
accidents in rural districts and
cities under 10000 population was
q 400. In cities over 10000, there
were 1900 killed.
While collisions with pedestrians
constituted the major fatal acct
dent problem in cities, rural dis
tricts had their greatest difficulty
with collisions between two or
more motor vehicles.

Congress

Last autumn's election showed the
new congress would be conserva-

til debate began over the 1939-40
budget, scheduled to boost the U. S.
public debt by $3,326, ZOO, 900. More

ing to give the President his $685.

ton Immediately, leaving debate
over politics-in-relief to later date.
But all such forecasts are now
disproved. In the relief deficiency
request designed to carry WPA ex-
penses from March l to June 30),
congress saw symbol of continued
big U. S. expenditures. First the
house deducted $3.50, 900, 900. Next the
senate approved the reduced appro-
priation, sending it back to the
house with amendments to curb pol
itics-in-relief. Thus showdown be-
tween White House and congress
has been precipitated Unexpectedly,

Congress SholDs Disposition
To Assert Independence

The proposition thus settles down
to only one possible answer. Since
the last election removed the rub
Der stamp from the hands of the
New Dealers and the congress has
shown disposition to assert its in
dependence of the unelected elmer
CIRCLE" they are resorting to new
strategy. They can not always con-
troll congress but they have access
to the appointive power vested in
the hands of the President. They
have this because they have the
Presidents ear and they take pains
to see that none of the practical poll
iticians, like Vice President Garner,
or Sen. Pat Harrison, or Speaker
Bankhead, WELD any influence.
The strategy may work. 1t may
put into numerous governmental
posts and judicial positions men who
will continue to execute New Deal
plans. That, of course, is a brilliant
move if it works. There is, how
ever, more to think about than that.
The trend toward the middle of the
road, emphasized in last falls vot-
ing, can be given greater momen-
tum by the tactics of forcing upon
the country policies against which
the electorate expressed themselves.
In that event, the Democratic party
win be the victim.

International

More wars have been fought from
the speakers platform than on the
battlefield. More wars have been
averted the same way. When news
first leaked out that Reichschancel-
lor Adolf Hitler would celebrate
Nazidom's sixth anniversary with a
speech, every able-tongued states
man in Europe fastened to speak
first, because there was well-found-
ed evidence that Hitler would an
nounce new program Of German
aggression for 1889. Since France is
being bounded for territorial conces-
sions by Germany's ally, Italy, and
since Great Britain is Frances
friend, both London and Paris were

discouragingly anxious that Hitler
should speak no evil of them.
The situation was plain. Britain
and France were ready to appease
once more, because after each sue
cessive appeasement it becomes
more difficult to resist. Boosted No.
2 Nazi Herman Wilhelm Goering:
s'The greater Germany stands erect
amid the world, firmly knit, steel
block of strength and cohesion. Free
is the country broken are the
shackles of the PREPARATIONS system.
The honor and independence of the
nation are safeguarded by the party
and the new German defense pow
err"
These were fighting words, but
neither France nor Britain was will
ing to fight back. Two days before
Hitler spoke, British Prime Min
lister Neville Chamberlain gave his
speech, indicating that far from be-
ing stronger, Britain will resist die
tatorships only under the most I'M
likely emergencies: "Peace could
only be endangered by =. de-
n1and to dominate the world by
force" This means that little by lit
tie Mr.. Chamberlain is willing to
concede to Italo-German demands.
Completely ignored were the Span
ish situation and Italian claims
against France.
The same day, French Foreign
Minister Georges Bonnet FASTENED
to make his peace with dictators:
Regardless Of the violence of the
Italian press campaign (for French
Mediterranean territories) I have
warm friendship for the italian peo-
ple." M. Bonnet practically accept
ed Mussolini's demands when he de-
clared Italy had been treated badly
during and after the World war by
France and Britain.
Such tactics fell little short of an
outright invitation for Hitler and
Mussolini to make demands. BY
the time Der Fuehrer marched to
the rostrun in Berlin's Knoll opera
house every European ear was
cooked. BY the time he left, Europe
and the world knew what to expect
from Hitler in 1889:
On Colonies. Germany will de-
nand that all her pre-World war
colonies be returned, otherwise the
Reich will "remain aniexplosive fac
tor in Europe" Reason: Germany
must have access to raw materials.
The alternative is to force exports.
On Italy. "War against Italy for
any reason whatever will see Ger
many and Italy side by side," said
Hitler. This statement is expected
to bring an immediate resumption
Of Italian claims against France,
though France and Britain may in
terpret it with tongue in cheek.
''War against Italy means aggres-
sion against Italy, which is farthest
from democratic thoughts. Though
hoping Hitler meant to infer that
he would not assist in aggression by
italy, London and Paris knew this
was a futile hope. =
On Other Demands. Allied rep
arations demands against Germany
after the World war were 'sunrea-
sonable and irresponsible. Hence
Germany has been forced to make
more competitive efforts in the
world market. Hinting at almost
anything, Der Fuehrer dropped the

ton of the worlds riches was in

Tale Of Two Brothers

A man of rs told a Judge the
other day that he had only had
one brother-and he died 1875
years ago.
His father, it seems, was 70
when this man was born in 1868.
He had been married before-at
20-and had had a child, who died
a day or two after birth, in 1878.
So the man told the truth. Only
his brother was really a STEP
brother.
A longish "step," too.
