The House Banking Committee Is holding hearings on a proposal to set up a Federal 'czar" to solve the housing shortage. There's probably nothing to the rumor that an ideal man for the job was picked but didn't take it because he couldn't find a place to live in Washington.

HITLER Hints Of Fear
OF Uprising in Speech
Urging Fight 10 Death

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Feb. 24.-Adolf Hitler
told the old guard Of the Nazi party
today that Germany had taken such
terrible" beating that now there
is no greater terror in store for U.s."
and he called on every man, woman
and child in the Reich to fight until
the last breath, threatening shirkers
with death.
Hitler's speech to his old party
comrades on the 25th anniversary Of
the announcement Of the National
Socialist program, read for him by
an aide and transmitted to the press
by pNB, the official German news
agency, contained hints of fear Of
an uprising inside Germany.
Anyone who showed himself a
coward, refused to join the Volks-
sturm (Home Guard or attempted
to sabotage the fanatical defense of
the country would be annihilated,
Hitler warned. Threats against
slackers and unbelievers in the Nazi
regime were sprinkled throughout
the speech.
Sees Turn in War.
Predicting that turning point in
the war would come this year, but
without saying in whose favor the
turn would be, the Fuehrer hkened
Nazi Germany's role to that of the
central European nations who cen
turies ago held off the invasions Of
Huns and Turks who threatened
to turn our continent into q desert" ("
"We shall be weighed in this CEN
tury, and particularly in our own
decade, according to whether we
are steadfast enough to encounter
an invasion from Central Asia such
as the world has seen many times
before since the dawn of history"
he declared.
Germanys preoccupation with
fear Of the Soviet invasion was
shown clearly in Hitler's emphasis
on the Jewish Bolshevist plague"
and his references to the Western
Allies only as the aides of the Rus
slams.
Assumes Martyrs Role.
Assuming a martyrs role, Hitler
declared he would be happy to bear
everything others have to bear to
the last. as far as this is possible
for human being"
He even expressed regret that his
mountain retreat at Berchtesgaden
had not been destroyed In a recent
Allied air raid, for whatever I can
call my own is no more valuable
than what belongs to my people"
Only toward the end of his long
harrangue did Hitler show any,
thing but pessimism. Then he de-
clared, twenty-five years ago I
predicted the victory of our move
ment. Today, filled as always with
belief In our nation, I predict final
victory for the German race"
Warns Against weakness"
This Jewish Bolshevist annihila-
ton of nations and its Western Eu-
ropean and American procurers can
be met with in one way" Hitler told
his people, " :. by using every ounce
OF strength with extreme fanaticism
and stubborn steadfastness which a

Meanwhile, the Lee Memorial
Hospital here reported that there
was some improvement today in
the condition of Ensign F. L. Mid,
daugh of Los Angeles, probably the
worse injured of the survivors. The
fifth survivor is Ensign Leonard j.
Ricci of the Bureau of Aeronautics,
Washington, whose family lives in
Meriden, Conn.
In connection with the crash, one
Of the first Of the searching party
to reach the scene expressed the
belief that several had lived after
the impact only to die during the
prolonged period while they waited
for aid. One civilian passenger
had crawled from the wrecked air
craft and was slumped across a
tree stump. Another, a marine Of
ficer, was found some distance from
the wreck with his head resting on
a seat cushion.
A spokesman for the American
Airlines said William K. Andrews

tonight and an investigation would
be started into the cause Of the

Tenn, the stewardess, insisted on
caring for the injured and suffered
exposure after refusing at first to use
some of the coats taken from the
plane for protection against the
bitter cold.
Another survivor, 1t. Erwin
Schwartz, U. S. NJ c., of Syracuse,
N. Y, in relating the acts of forti-
tude by the women, said both were
swell"
Capt. Francis Ulen, U. S. NJ, who
come here from Washington to be
with his wife, said Mrs. Ulen climbed
over one mountain before reaching
help. The shoes she took from a
dead man when hers could not be
recovered from the wreck kept COM
ing off, which added to the ordeal
of her early morning trip.
You are angels" she was quoted
as saying when she finally found
the farmer and his wife.
Capt. Ulen said his wife told him
that the motors began sputtering
prior to the crash.
Then we crashed and the lights
went out" she said. THE stew
ardess was thrown clear of the
plane.
Gasoline from the tanks started
leaking all over the plane. Some
one wanted to strike a match to see
what time 1t was, but another of
the survivors said: For Gods sake,
don't do that
1t. Schwartz said that Just before
the plane struck the mountainside
it felt as il the ship was being
bounced from tree TO tree" He said
he was thrown free of the plane
that he went back to the wreck and
obtained four or five. coats and a
rug to protect. the survivors.
/ 1t. Schwartz said he counted nine
or 10 voices during the night hours
indicating that that number still,
lived for a time after the plane
struck.
Il heard the motor sputtering, but
I did not realize what it was all
about until I saw the stewardess
run forward" 1t. Schwartz related
Il frightened my belt, and then the
crash came"
1t. Schwartz said that when he
returned to the plane one OF the
passengers, a lieutenant colonel, was
strapped in his seat.
He was badly injured and begged
me to kill him." the marine said
Five of us who got out Of the
plane crouched under the wing. We
tried frantically to attract the at
