America1 Anuto Manufacturers

Major League Standings
AMERICAN LEAGUE
TOKIO, Aug. 9. - P) - A cabinetr
decision made it likely today thatf
considerable interests of American
automobile manufacturers in Japan
would be subjected to a system ofl
rigid government regulation because<
of the army's determination- to con-.
trol industry of vital importance to7
its military program.
The cabinet approved unanimously1
the draft of an automotive industry
control law for presentation to parlia-t
ment early in 1936.<
. If passed it would affect the status
and business prospects of assembly
plants of the Ford Motor Co. at Yoko-
hama and General Motors at Osaka,t
where American companies have in-t
vested millions of dollars.
Gen. Senjuro Hayashi, minister of
war, urging the cabinet to approve1
the bill, stressed the vital role of the
automotive industry to the Japanese
Empire's defense dispositions.
Automobiles would be the secondl
large American industry in Japan tot
suffer government control owing to
military importance. Japan's pe-
troleum, control law has been affect-i
ing seriously the Standard Vacuum
Co. and has been subject to Japanese

Jury To Indict
Zenre Monday
Young Missourian Is Calm.
Despite Tlightening Net
Drawn About Hin
CHICAGO, Aug. 9. - (P) - On the
basis of what prosecutors termed
one of the strongest chains of circum-
stantial evidence in their experience
Mandeville W. Zenge, twenty-six-
year-old Missouri carpenter, was re-
ported indicted today by the grand
jury for the mutilation murder of
his rival, Dr. Walter J. Bauer.
Assistant State's Attorneys Charles
S. Dougherty and Edwin J. Spiro in-
dicated the true bill, voted after the
grand jury had heard four additional
witnesses, would be returned Monday.
Zenge continued to maintain his
stoical calm and steadfast protesta-
tions of innocence.
Shortly before the grand jury's ac-
tion became public, William Leinert,
a cab driver, testified before the grand
jury. Leinert was seized with Zenge
48 hours after Bauer died from a
crude operation. Prosecutors said
Leinert's testimony was "satisfac-
tory."
Testimony formerly given by Louise
Schaffer Bauer, widow of the slain
man and former sweetheart of his
and American diplomatic exchanges I
for the last year without an agree-
ment.C
The Ford and General Motorsj
plants for five. years have turnedt
out approximately 80 per cent of allr
the .automobiles sold ,in Japan,. about.
10,000 apiece annually.
The cabinet bill provides that com-
panies organized for the manufacture
of automobiles and parts must be li-
censed and subjected to government
control with the majority of shares
Japanese-owned.
Respecting companies such as Ford
and General Motors, which were op-
erating prior to the promulgation of R
the law, the bill says: "Their vested
rights will be respected." However,
any expansion of such companies will
become subject to all the law's pro-
visions.P
This apparently blocks Ford's plans
for a new factory at Yokohama un-
less the majority of the capital is1
Japanese-owned, a suggestion which1
Ford hitherto has refused.1
Local financial writer said the cab-
inet's action would hasten the pros-,
pective consolidation of General Mo-
tors with the Japan Industry Co. and
predicted that Japan Industry would
hold 51 per cent of the stock in the
consolidated concerns.
Japanese Industry, a rapidly ex-
pandinrg holding company, includes
in its holdings the Nissan Automobile
Co., which manufactures the small
Datsun cars now appearing in the
export markets.
A statement by the ministry of
commerce pointed out that foreign-
owned assembly plants produce al-
most all the passenger cars in Japan
and that therefore it was impossible
for Japan to establish a national au-
tomobile industry unless adequate
measures to foster it were taken.
Colorful Shower
Of Meteors Near
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 9.--(P) -
Sparks will fly when the earth, ram-
bling along its orbit at 19 miles a
second, goes through a cloud of ce-
lestial dust this weekend.
This cosmic cloud, an oval ring
whose long diameter is several billion
miles, is whirling at some 50 miles a
second.
The result of the contact will be ce-
lestial sparks. It is the richest an-
nual display of showers of "shooting
stars," the perseid meteors.
Persons who stay up after the set-
ting of the moon - that's after mid-
night - may expect to see 60 or 70,
meteors an hour. Saturday, Sunday
and Monday nights are expected to
be the best showers this year.
Look to the north for them. They
came from the direction of the con-
stelaltion of Perseus.

Luther Asks That
U. S. 'Understand'
Hitler's Fear Of Greater
Unemployment Seen As
Main SemiticHope
BERLIN, Aug. 9. - RI) - An order
)ublishedNby the Peasant leader for
the Free State of Brunswick indicated
oday that Nazi policy may now be
:efinitely directed at depriving the
Jew of doing business with Gentiles.
Hitherto, Nazidom has maintained
that the Jew was not to be interfered
with commercially.
Gustav Giesecke, the Brunswick
Peasant leader, issued an order de-
laring:
"Whoever as a German Peasant
engages in trade with the Jew, or
>therwise maintains a connection with
him, commits treason and to his blood
ives comfort to the deadly enemy of
he German people, the Jew."
Threaten Removal
Giesecke said that he would re-
nove from positions inhthe Nutritive
Guild any found guilty of, dealing
with the Jews and instructed sub-
leaders to report on farmers' com-
mercial relations with Jews.
The ultimate goal of Nazi state-
raft, is, if possible, to eliminate the
Jews altogether from Germany. Julius.
Streicher, and other anti-Semitic
leaders, leave no doubt as to that.
There are numerous considerations,
however, which prevent an immediate
realization of this "totality" program.
For instance, Jewish business is still
so vital a factor that the immediate
elimination of the Jew in commercial
moncerns would draw in its wake the
dismissal of thousands of Aryan
workers.
Figures Cheering
Germans, turning from the worries
of Jew baiting, were cheered by Gov-
ernment figures which indicated that
unemployment in the country had
been cut off $1,754,000 in July. The
number receiving doles was reduced
by 63,000 to 904,000.
NEW YORK, Aug. 9. - (P) - Dr.
Hans Luther, German ambassador to
the United States, arrived today from
the Fatherland with the declaration
that "it is absurd to talk about re-
ligious intimidation" in Germany.
"If only the great evolution in Ger-
many were understood in America,"
he said, "it would be of great interest
to the American people." He added
that people in Germany "are al-
lowed to worship in whatever church
they choose."
Nearly 100 police officers were de-
tailed about the pier where the Ger-
man diplomat disembarked from the
steamship New York en route to
Washington, but there was no dis-
turbance.
A. A. U. To Probe
Status of Jesse
Owens As Amateur
CLEVELAND, Aug. 9.-(P)-Lou
N. Bloom, president of the Northeast-
ern Ohio division of the A. A. U., said
late today that a meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee would be called for
either tomorrow or Sunday to investi-
gate why Jesse Owens, Ohio State
athletic star, is receiving pay from
the Ohio Legislature as an honorary
page when the Legislature is not in
session.
Bloom said he believed that if Ow-
ens is receiving pay from the Legisla-
ture without working for it his am-
ateur standing is in jeopardy.'
At the meeting, Bloom said, the en-
tire matter would be investigated. He
said Owens would be asked to ap-
pear before the body.
Earlier in New York Dan Ferris,
national secretary of the A. A. U.,
ruled that Owens' amateur athletic
standing would be jeopardized "if
Owens did not actual work in the Ohio
State Legislature" and was receiving
pay.

Approval Of Bill Without
Record Vote Brings End
To 7-Months' Conflict
Calls For Nation's
Greatest Tax Load
Many Believe Bill Will Be
Ruled Unconstitutional
Despite Precautions
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9. -(w) -
Congress today granted the Roose-
velt administration authority to em-
bark on the most extensive social
experiment ever conducted in the na-
tion, intended to safeguard millions
in their old age and in times of stress.
The grant of power was extended
in the social security bill, which re-
ceived final Congressional approval
in the Senate without even the for-
mality of a record vote. Thus ended
seven months of turbulent debate and
backstage negotiation.
Regarded by President Roosevelt
as the most important of all his legis-
lative proposals, the bill not only
would steer America on a new social
course, but would impose the great-
est tax burden ever approved by
Congress.

SoX Drive Tigers Hard
DETROIT, Aug. 9. - (Special) -I
Schoolboy Rowe, after emerging from
a ninth-inning Chicago rally, par-
tially redeemed himself to his many
critics yesterday when he pitched the
Tigers to a 4-3 victory over the White
Sox. Detroit remained 5 games ahead
of her nearest rival, New York, who
yesterday whipped the Athletics, 3 to
2.
The White Sox counted their first
run in the fifth inning.
Hank Greenberg scored Gehringer
and White to bring the Tiger total
to 4 in the fifth when he made his
thirty-first home run of the season.
Washington, after being walked by
the Schoolboy, scored on Dykes' single

Strike Against
'Security Wage'
Moving Slowlyi
Work-Relief Program It
Threatened By Action Of
New York Labor
NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-(AP)-Or-a
ganized labor's general strike against t
the Federal "security wage" in New.
York City, with its potential threat to
the Government's huge work-relief
program throughout the country, ap-
peared tonight to be getting off to a
slow start.C
Union leaders insisted, however,
that it would be in full swing byu
Monday.
Administrator Hugh S. Johnson de-t
clared that all strikers who had not
returned to their jobs by Monday
night would be dropped from the pay-1
roll.
In changing the deadline from to-
night to Monday night, Gen. John-
son said he wished to give the strik-
ers the week-end to think things over.
Reiterating his charge that the
strike was Communist-inspired, he
said:
"In this case the Government is
the employer. Therefore it is a strike
against the Government."
Works Progress Administration of-
ficials estimated that 727 workers out
of a total of 15,000 union and 85,0000
non-union employees were on strike.
This-was fewer than the 770 report-
ed to have been out yesterday, before
the Central Trades and Labor Coun-
cil voted to suport a general strike
The Government is paying skilled
workers $93.50 monthly for 20 six-
hour days, or at the rate of 78 cent.
an hour. Organized labor demand.
the "prevailing wage" of $1.50 ar
hour, even though, under the old
Works Division, this allowed them
only $60 a month, for five days' work
The American Federation of La-
bor contends that monthly earning.
of skilled craftsmen could be limited
to the $93.50 "security wage" but that
the hourly rate should be kept'at the
prevailing local scale to prevent that
scale from being broken down in
private construction. The minimum
wages tends to become a maximum,
FederatioA chiefs contend.
Thomas Murray, president of the
Council and chairman of the exec-
utive strike committee, said that all
of the 15,000 union men probably
would walk out Monday and predicted
that they would be joined by many
non-union workers.
Representative Traux
Drops Dead In Capital
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9. --P) --
h Rep. Charles V. Traux, of Ohio,
It would provide old age and un-
employment benefits for an esti-
nated 25,000,000 workers and appro-
priate handicapped mothers and chil-
dren.
Proposed In January
President Roosevelt recommended
t last January to secure "the men,
women and children of the nation
against certain hazards and vicissi-
udes of life."
The Senate's calm aproval of the
igantic measure today was in strik-
ng contrast to the bill's long and
2ontroversial course. The only point
at issue was the Clark amendm'ent
to exclude private pension plans, and
even its author, Senator Bennett C.
Clark, (Dem., Mo.), acquiesced in its
elimination.
Administration leaders expressed a
oelief that the striking out of the
Clark amendment removed one of
.he major constitutional hazards from
,he bill. But there were still many
nembers of Congress who forecast
that part or all of it would be in-
validated by the Supreme Court.
The section most frequently -chal-
lenged on Constitutional grounds was
,hat authorizing the creation of a
nationwide old age pension fund by
the levying of a 3 per cent tax on
,he salaries of the workers up to $3,-
3000 a year.
Fifty Billions By 1980
This fund, which by 1980 is esti-
:nated to reach the, total of almost
X50,000,000,000 is expected to provide
pensions for retired workers of 65
gears 'and older up td $85 a month.
To supplement this system, the
?ederal government would offer
;rants of $15 a month, to be matched
ay the states, for all needy aged not
;aken care of under the contributory
'ystem. Similar grants would be made
or needy blind, regardless of age.
The government also would levy
1 3 per cent payroll tax against em-
>loyers of eight or more persons out
f which deductions can be made up
'o 90 per cent for payments to state
unemployment insurance systems.
Police On Hand
As Housewives
Renew Boycott
DETROIT, Aug. 9. - (P) - Picket-
.ng housewives renewed. their seige
if numerous Detroit butcher shops
for the third straight weekend today,
out police were on hand to see that
they did not molest purchasers.
The threat of a meat shortage in
Detroit, which had been predicted by
Emil Schwartz, director of the Na-
ional Retail Meat Dealers Associa-
tion, unless the boycott were ended,
aparently was dispelled by the police
action.
Although almost half the stores
vemained closed in some of the shop-
ping centers where pickets have been
