ANOTHER NAzI
PURGE, REPORT

LONDON-The Yorkshire Post
asserted today that Adolf Hitler
has just undertaken a new purge"
Of the German army command
and that more than 80 officers,
including five generals in key posi-
tons, were involved.
Opposition to policies the off,
GERS feared might involve Ger
many in war on wide fronts was
cited as reason for the purge.
The newspaper. usually reliable,
said officers involved included
Generals Lieb. in charge of the
military organization of industry;
Stuelpnagel, a high air force Off
GER: Quade, of the air force col
lege; Lehman, commandment of
the war academy, and the gen.
eral commanding the fifth army
corps.
II was suggested that Gen.
Ritter Won Leeb. an army COM
mander in the Sudetenland occu-
patton, might have been confused
with the Gen. Lieb mentioned.
Gen. Won Leeb has been described
by some Nazis as reactionary and
not sufficiently in sympathy with
the regime.
The Yorkshire Post suggested
that in a renewed struggle be-
tween German military and politi-
cal leaders the Nazi party had
trimuphed again. as 1t did in the
purge Of February. 1888. when
high officers were dismissed.

Subtle Growth of Compulsory
Cooperation Danger>>HooVer

bert Hoover told the gradual
university Sunday that the
he United States today Is the
compulsory cooperation under
and prejudice and cultivated
through the "miseries' suffered by
the people in war and depression.
Need Free Minds
He said certain controls by gov
eminent were necessary TO curb
unethical and greedy interests. but
insisted that the proper role of the
government was that of an "um-
pire," and that above all II should
see that liberty is not trans
crossed" He praised the American
system for developing high stand
ard of living, for protecting per-
sonal and religious freedom and for
stimulating great advancement IN
learning and the arts
1T is true that we need free
speech. free press, free assembly
and all the other freedoms he
concluded. But We need. above
all things, minds free from ignor.
ance. We need awakened imagina.
tions. We need disciplined reason.
Without them there will be no
other freedoms"

most menacing danger facing
subtle growth" of a system of
the dictation of government.
The former president delivered a
commencement address on the need
for protecting personal liberty un-
der changing economic pressures.
He said the United States had de-
veloped and flourished under a free
system of voluntary cooperation,
but that there was presently a
danger that the system might be
undermined and personal liberty
perish.
The difference between the sys-
TENS of voluntary and compulsory
cooperation, he said, provided a
measure of the whole distance be-
tween liberty and no liberty"

The great danger to America is
not from violent invasion of sys-
TENS from abroad" Hoover said.
The danger is not from open agita-

fascism. The danger is the subtle
growth of these compulsory ideas,
as a means of remedy to war dis
location and depression"
Hoover sketched the histories of
three revolutions"-the revolution
of liberty the revolution from sci
entific discovery and the revolution
of new Utopias to end the miseries
of the times" The last he termed
a swing back to the ancient ideas
of compulsion,' rooted in hatred

BEHIND The
TICKER

NEW YORK Congressman
Bruce Barton's stock market theory
that while the president is at the
White House security prices act
badly, and that when he quits for
an extended trip share prices ad-
vance, is due for the acid test.
About the middle Of this month.
the president is slated for another
one OF his trips.
The presidents last vacation at
Warm Springs wasn't accepted as
a true test of the Bruce Barton
stock-market theory because Euro
pean war scares brought frighten-
ed liquidation into the market. But
this time it's expected that there
will not be any outside interference.
Watched-Interests close to the
Canada Dry Ginger Ale manage
ment say that the earnings i'm
provement shown for the first six
month period ended with March 81
will continue through the balance
OF the fiscal year. The company's
new cola drink - Spur Cola - Is
making splendid sales progress
without the benefit Of spectacular
advertising. And advertising costs
per case Of Canada Dry are de-
creasing due to larger unit sales.
Since the company is about TO en-
ter its best selling season, traders
who follow seasonal securities"
have been scale-down buyers of the
shares.
mill operations are to be further
curtailed. Mill operators say that
with spot cotton priced at the high
est levels OF the season, high wage
scales and lack Of prospects for
obtaining higher prices on manu-
featured goods, it's better to close
down than operate at loss. It's
hoped the government will find a
way to let out load of cotton from
its IL, 300, 900 bale hoard so that
the tight spot situation can be re-
lieved.

CHAPTER xxIY

Dick escorted Susie to the broad casting studio. He was attentive, en- couraging, vastly excited. Brown or- >chids trembled on Susie's breast as she faced the microphone. Panic shook her. She couldn't say a word sing note - she couldn't. Sudden ly her frantic eyes were drawn to the back rows of chairs in the stu dio. Jef- His chin went up as he smiled.
 At once Susie,s panic took wings. At once everything was right with the world. And, at once, she forgot Jeff. Her song of love was for Dick, her nicely worded batter on the subject of beauty was for him. She knew her act had been successful before they crowded around her in the studio, before MT. Jasper called from New York, before Edna and John Harker wired from Miami.
 In a way, as the January days passed, Susie was content, in an- other way she frantically fought against time. Dick loved her, his every glance, every gesture, told her SO. What then was the re- serve against which she was powerless? Beyond a certain point he did not go and, today un- versed in siren wiles, Susie knew not how to break through his silence. In his presence she was confident, felt him trembling on the verge of an avowal. Away from him he escaped her. With every parting she had the fren- zied feeling that she might never see him again.
 It was a hectic interval, not conducive to happiness, although Susie would have said she was the happiest girl in the world. Her stomach, which already seemed shrunken to walnut pro- portions, suddenly refused food. She lost five pounds, was forced to use more rouge, felt stringy and burned out. Late hours, days of soaring hopes and black de- pression began to take their toll.
 It was toward the last of January that Susie took a cold, miresable,

General Gront: Soldier Who Fought for Peace


 RUGGED Ulysses S. Grant spen most of his life as a soldier Yet Grant fought consistently for peace. As a matter of fact, he revealed in his memoirs that he never liked service in the army, that he did not want to go to West Point, that it was only under his fathers orders that he enrolled.
 Grant hated the Mexican War, said frankly afterward that he felt it was an unjust cause. The Civil War found him in retirement, working in a Galena, H., leather store. But his belief in the Union cause this time was well fixed. So the man whom the army had ed- ucated returned to the colors.
 But he continued to fight for peace. Every action, every move he made as Union commander was calculated to bring an early end to the titanic struggle. Finally, on April 5, 1865, Grant began the peace negotlatlonS with General Lee which were to climax at Ap- pomattox.
 The final truce found Grant tri- umphant in his pacific views. De- spite all manner of criticism, he permitted the Confederate soldiers to retain their horses, gave Lee rations for his famished troops, paved the way for other lenien- cies in the last hour. Hardly had the war ended, when he undertook a general program to make peace effective in the torn south.
 Grant, pictured on many U. s. stamps, is shown above on the is- sue of 1890, 5-cent light brown, enlarged.
