wells sufficient water to meet re-
quirements Of his contract, the

luton granting him another 40

Clement ave.
The resolution was presented by

satisfied with the present capacity
of a well which all were confident
will produce more capacity than
has been developed.

out OF two or more wells. He has
drilled four, one, however, which
has not yet been tested. The
project was financed under a PWA
grant and PWA approval is re-
quired for the extension approved
by the council.

one gave Bobbie a small ladder.
He promptly braced it against the
fire alarm box and turned in the
alarm. He was still occupying the

HITLER
BELIEF ON j. s.

PARIS - The Paris Soir today
published a statement by Her
mann Rauschnigg. former presi-
dent OF the DanEig senate. quoting
Adolf Hitler as saying that Ger
many had means of preventing
America from trying to intervene
In the war"
Rauschnigg purported to give
quotes from talks with Hitler be-
fore the war started.
There are new arms which
would be particularly effective in
such case" Hitler was alleged
by Rauschnigg to have said.
THE United States permanently
sits on the edge OF revolution, and
1t would not be difficult to foment
few riots and troubles to keep
them sufficiently occupied with
their own affairs.
Those people have nothing to
say about Europe"
Rauschnigg, according to his ar
ticle in the Paris Soir, talked with
the Nazi fuehrer at his Berchtes-
garten retreat prior to the begin
ming of the European war and
while Rauschnigg was closely as
ISOLATED with the Nszi leadership.
He later broke with the Nazis
and wrote a book bitterly attack
ing them.
He said In his Paris Soir article
that Hitler claimed, even before
the war, to have devised a new
type OF conflict tofimpose on the
Allies, differing entirely from
World war tactics. He indicated
the fuehrer hoped to combine war
with revolution, staging fake
communist revolt in France which
would enable the Nazis to enter
France as a savior"

FARMERS MOSTLY
FAVOR REGULATION

The greatest sentiment for in
creased government regulation Of
labor unions comes from the farm
population. Since 1888, when the
Institute began its continuous sur
veys OF public opinion. farmers
have been found the least sympa-
thetic of all groups toward the
aims and activities OF labor unions.
The farmers attitude probably
springs from the fact that, in
many cases, he Is an employer of
labor himself. So long as his atti-
tude persists. any movement to-
ward the formation OF farmer
labor party--the dream of many
a politician-probably faces an
uphill climb.
The farm vote for greater regu-
lation Of unions Is higher than the
vote Of any other group. The fol-
lowing few comparisons serve to
Illustrate the difference in the
survey.
do you think labor unions
should be regulated to
greater extent by the federal
governments"
