THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, JULY 31, 1935 Nazis Slacken Drive Against State Enemies Communism, Especially In The United States, Will Be Treated Next Press Slaps Others Say Other Nations Should Clean Their Own Houses Before Bothering Nazis BERLIN, July 30. - (-') - Naziism, paying heed to foreign opinion, slack- ened its campaign against "state enemies" today, and turned its at- tention instead to Communism-es- pecially in the United States. A high scource said Nazi leaders, in council with Reichfuehrer Adolf Hit- ler, decided to curb ultra-radical ac- tivities against Jews, "political Ca- tholicism" and other "menaces" be- cause of the reaction abroad to the drive. "Prompted Press' Speaks News Of The World As Illustrated In Associated Press Pictures The press, apparently prompted by the propaganda ministry, advised im- mediately and unanimously that oth- er nations should clean their own houses before paying so much at- tention to the Reich." Hitler's own newspaper, the Voel- kischer Beobachter, carried dis- patches and photographs in connec- tion with the tearing of the Ger- man flag from the liner Bremen at New York Friday and the Seventh Communist Internationale at Mos- cow. Two photographs of strikers clash- ing at Sioux Falls, S. D., were dis- played on the front page, and anoth- er of a Negro lynching at Fort Laud- erdale, Fla., on an inside page. 'American Turbulence' The caption over the strike picture proclaimed: "Workers at Peace in Germa'y- turbulence abroad." Other newspapers advised the United States to take care of its Communists as it will, but warned: "America has a duty to prevent them from disturbing friendly rela- tions between the United States and Germany." While the Communists of other countries held the center of the stage, a high source said a national police campaign against individual acts of terrorism was planned behind the scenes, with any further pressure against Jews, Bolshevism and other "reactionaries" to be in the state's hands. Incidents Still Appear Isolated incidents, however, con- tinued to orop up. Three more Catholic youth organizations at Ba- den were dissolved and three new cases of discrimination against Jew- ish lawyers also were reported. Jewish lawyers were forbidden to appear before labor courts at Madge- burg, and thedistrict court of Char- lottenburg ruled them out. Baden authorities ruled that anyone engag- ing a Jewish lawyer and then dis- continuing his service must pay an Aryan taking over the case a double fee. The Reich finance ministry ordered employes to report before Sept. 1 whether they are or have ever been Free Masons or members of similar secret societies. An affirmative ans- wer, the order said, would be weighed against any promotions. Evidence that the Nazi leaders were putting a brake on the cam- paign, however, was seen in the re- moval of "don't buy from Jews" stickers from Jewish shops. Jews also were ordered to be considered for military enlistment if they had only two Jewish grandparents. IDAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN (Continued from Page 3) tending the meeting ar ecordially in- vited.

Formosa Is Hit ByTyphoon;No Casualties Yet Severe Property Damage Reported As Battering Wind Sweeps Island TOKIO, July 30. - (P) - A typhoon battered the island of Formosa today, inflicting severe property damage as it roared on toward China. Communications were disrupted, preventing an accurate estimate of the extent of the damage, but no loss of life was reported immediately. Although there was comparatively little rainfall, the wind proved par- ticularly destructive. The central section of the island was reported suffering extensively. The typhoon passed from Formosa at 5 a.m. An unestimated number of houses was destroyed in closely populated areas, and banana and sugar plan- tations were damaged seriously. Train operations were halted. Communica- tion lines fell in many places. The typhoon-the third this season and one of the worst ever to strike the island ,about 800 miles south of Japan off the coast of China - plunged the capital city of Taihoku into darkness today after the rising winds damaged the power house. The city of Shinchiku, which ex- perienced two disastrous earthquakes earlier this year, also was hard hit. LUZON ALSO HIT MANILA, P. I., July 30. - () - A typhoon, rains, wind and high tides caused damage throughout northern Luzon island today for the second successive day. Heavy damage to roads, bridges and crops was reported in the north- ern provinces. One drowning was re- ported. High tides again flooded the downtown sections of Manila. The small inter-island steamer Venus, disabled in yesterday's ty- phoon, arrived with 38 passengers in tow of the steamship Bohol, 'Fans' Riot For Admission To Peoria's Trial Trial Of Gerald Thompson For Sex Murder Brings A Mob Of Women PEORIA, Ill., July 30. - () - A riotous crowd of about 2,000 men and women, clamoring for admission to he sex murder trial of Gerald Thomp son, tore a door from the Peoria county courthouse today. The mob, mostly women demanding to hear the spicy testimony of the trial, broke through lines of special police reserves and surged to the north side of the building. With shouts the men and women smashed the glass panels of the door and finally ripped it from the hinges. Several persons were slightly in- jured in the melee. Women's dresses were torn and police, after dispersing the rioters, picked up two battered wrist watches and other articles of jewelry. A similar disturbance occurred yes- terday when the door of the south entrance of the court building was ripped away by angry would-be spec- tators.' Many of those who took part in today's demonstration had been wait- ing outside the courthouse since 6 a.m., three hours before the conven- ing of court for the start of defense evidence. The disturbance took place at the entrance through which Thompson, on trial for the brutal slaying of pretty Virginia Hallmark, 19-year-old cafe hostess, is brought into the court- house from the county jail across the street. There were frequent threats of mob violence and lynching while Thomp- son was held in jail pending his trial. Thompson, a pasty-faced youth whose defense is based on a plea of congenial insanity and Sex aberra- tions, caem into court today with two more guards added to the cordon of four who ordinarily accompany him. A scratch from a rosebush thorn, resulting in lockjaw, was fatal to Mrs. Albert Chappell, 27, of Dallas, Tex. Finishing touches are being put on the TC-14, believed to be the world'sk largest non-rigid dirigible, at Scott Field, Belleville, Ill., the army's lighter-than-air flying base. The ship, which will make its first test flight early in August, is 235 feet long and is being built at an estimated cost of $200,000. It carries a crew of ten men. Japanese Say Bandits Have Looted Trains Train Robbers Supposed To Have Cremated Jap Soldier On Train TOKIO, July 30. -(P) - Manchou- kuan bandits were reported by the Rengo (Japanese) news agency today to have held up the Hsinking-Tumen express and slain a number of pas- sengers. Dispatches said the bandits de- railed the night express last night about 50 miles east of Hsinking, cap- ital of the Japanese-sponsored state of Manchoukuo and deliberately sought out Japanese passengers for death. , Of the 11 or 12 slain, the Rengo correspondent at Hsinking reported, one was a Russian and, four were Manchoukuans, apparently mistaken for Japanese. Sergeant Imamura of the indepen- dent guard corps of the Kwantung (Japanese continental) army was the first victim of the bandits, the cor- respondent said, and after he was shot the slayers burned his body and danced around it, shouting: "Down with the Japanese." An unestimated number of persons were wounded, among them five Jap- anese and three Manchoukuans. Twelve guards were reported, kid- naped after attempting to beat off the bandits. Japanese and Manchoukuan troops hastened out in an effort to rescue the prisoners and capture the slayers. The vernacular press meanwhile re- ported the kidnapings by bandits in inner Mongolia three weeks ago of John Goette, American newspaper Army TestsLatest 'Mystery Ray'; To Detect Ships At Sea FORT MONMOUTH, Highlands, N. J. - W) - Double details of military police paced outside the army reser- vation today while officers, amid ut- most secrecy, studied a new "mystery ray" said to be capable of detecting the presence of a ship 50 miles at sea through fog and darkness. Signal corps technicians declined to confirm reports that they already had begun a series of nightly tests designed to demonstrate the ray's ef- fectiveness in spotting not only ships but airplanes at high altitudes. Visitors were rigorously excluded from the fort and from Navesink lighthouse nearby. There was no sign of unusual activity save the pres- ence of a large portable searchlight mounted on a motor truck and parked on the lighthouse grounds. First hint of the experiments leaked out through a bulletin of the bureau of lighthouses containing in- structions to mariners. Signal corps men were silent, but officers in kindred branches ventured unofficially the opinion that the in- vention might "revolutionize" coast and air defense. Neither Lt. Col. William Blair, in charge of the signal corps labora- tories here, nor general headquarters at Washington would discuss the in- vention. Other sonic devices for lo- cating and setting the- firing range on airplanes have been conducted by the ordnance department at Aberdeen, Md.

CHEAP AT HALF THE PRICE Refusing to pay an alleged 25-cent The home of William Johnson of Lancaster, 0., became a mass of debris when it was caught in the turbulent waters of Hocking river which caused one delath and property damage estimated at $1,000,000. These pictures show the house just before the wall of water hit it, and a moment later as it tumbled into the stream. Neighbors rescued the family. Medical Society Summarizes The Life History O A Cancer In the preceding articles the es- sential facts about the causes of can- cer, its varieties and distribution, have been presented. It is now possible to summarize the life history of a cancer. A cancer begins by the lawless growth and multiplication of a cell or group of cells belonging to the human body. From the practical standpoint, chronic irritation is the most im- portant cause of this wild growth. As. it grows the cancer may produce an open sore, or an elevated irregular mass, or a contracted hard area. This great variation in appearance of a cancer is due to the kinds of cells which happen to be growing. For a time the cancer is a purely local condition. Unlike the less dan- gerous benign tumors, it does not en- large simply by pushing back the sur- rounding normal tissues. The cancer" has the ability actually to grow into the neighboring structures. The can- cer cells insinuate themselves into thej most slender spaces between -fibres and cell sand thus infiltrate and de- stroy the healthy tissues.{ The best chance to cure a cancer is in the early stage of its growth, while it is still a local disease. Curet can be accomplished only by com- plete surgical removal, or, in properly selected cases, by killing the cancer' cells with radium or X-rays. If not diagnosed and treated in thisj early favorable stage, two serious de- velopments may occur. In the course of time the local growth may be so extensive that complete removal is impossible. Or cancer cells may find in the body. There they may grow into new tumors like the original one. The medical term for these secondary or daughter tumors is "metastases." When daughter tumors have de- veloped the chance for cure is very greatly reduced, for now one must deal also with them. This explains why it is necessary to discover the disease as soon as possible.
