"VOL.XV No. 11 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, JULY 7, 1934 PRICE FIVE CENTS Tell Story Of How Hitler Was Nearly Killed In Revolt: Fears Of New Uprising Keep Nazi Troops On Their Guard Give Schmitt Wide Commercial Powers Believe That He Might Relax Jewish Policy To Help Trade BERLIN, July 6. -- (?) -Fears of a new uprising against Adolf Hitler kept Nazi forces on the alert tonight, as the first week after the summary killing of "traitorous" subleaders came to an end. That Hitler himself barely escaped death in his "purge" of the revolting storm troop chieftains was related at Breslau today on good authority. Edmund Heines, Breslau police chief and Storm Troop leader, an Am rican citizen there was told, ran up o Hitler with a revolver when the Chancellor raided Ernst Roehm'sa house at Munich. One of Hitler's aides shot Heines down saving the Chancellor's life, said the American, who heard the account from a former friend of Heines whom he regarded as absolutely reliable. While keeping close watch for new outbreaks, the government was busy with its economic problems. Realizing the acuteness of the eco- nomic situation, the authorities took steps to tighten their hold on indus- try. There was talk of wartime reg- ulations, including the enforced use of many home-produced substitutes for maiterials heretofore imported. May Relax Anti-Jewish Policies Kurt Schmitt, minister of eco- omlcs, was given sweeping powers to carry out the commercial policies, an act interpreted as a move in the direction of the conservative elements. Schmitt has been given unlimited authority to impose fines on per- sons and institutions that refuse to obey his orders. He was even ex- pected by some observers to bring about a relaxation of the anti-Jew- ish policies as a means of improving foreign trade.. Nazi spokesmen told of the renewed, vigilance against revolt after hear-, ing rumors that friends of the ex-, ecuted Roehm, supreme Storm Troop; commander, and other victims of Hit- ler's firing squads were considering a new attempt to overthrow the present' government. Storm Troopers in civilian clothes) were said to have met in Berlin sec-.. retly today and to have shouted "re- venge!" This and other reported develop- ments caused the guard in Berlin to be strengthened. The Nazi Press Department said that the list of those executed has been withheld to prevent excitement among their friends. A full communique from Hitler,, telling all about the mutiny, will be forthcoming within a few days, the Press Department reported; Force To Be Reduced Victor Dutze, who succeeded Roehm as head of the Storm Troopers, today gave the first official confirmation that the force of 2,000,000 will be reduced after the July vacation. Reorganization, he wrote in Der Angriff, Propaganda Minister Goeb- bels' newspaper, might involve a re- duction in number. Lutze expressed the view that the former leaders had opened the ranks] to Communists and other anti-Nazis and declared that hereafter only true Nazis can belong to the organization.] Assurances that*the old enmity be- tween the Storm Troopers and the Stahlhelm (veterans' organization) was ended was given by Franz Seldte, cabinet minister and head of the Stahlhelm.

Neighbors who, through boiling hot nights, had tossed and tumbled and stood the tooting of the saxophone, the main instrument in a three-piece band, complained to police. So early today police backed a patrol wagon up and hauled away every person in sight. Magistrate Jo- seph O'Donnell heard complaints against the tooting. He sympathized, and suggested that if a saxophone tooted all night in his neighborhood he would feel jus- tified in tossing a bomb. By the way, which one is the saxo- phone player?" asked the magistrate. "He got away," Sergt. Joseph Say admitted sadly. MacNider Hits Democrats At G.O.P. Meeting Calls For United Front Of Republican P a r ty As Country's Need By ROBERT S. RUWITCH (Daily Staff Correspondent) JACKSON, July 6. - Republicans gathered for the 80th anniversary of the party's founding here were told that a "vigorous fighting unified Re- publican party" was the crying need of the United States government in its present problems by Col. Hanford MacNider, former American Legion commander and former minister to Canada, who addressed the two-day pieeting "under the oaks" in the his- toric spot where the party was born. Approximately 50,000 party stal- warts heard Col. MacNider lash Dem- ocratic "ineptitude," planned econ- omy, government professorial advis- ers, and "undermining" of the Con- stitution. Up To Party "There can be no doubt," he said, "that the Constitution is being under- mined today. It is up to the Repub- lican party now and every moment from this moment on to see that that Constitution is not overcome.", Earlier in the day, party members attended various meetings, most im- portant of which was that of the state central committee, where former Governor Fred W. Green of Ionia was the chief speaker. Evening speakers, in addition to Col. MacNider, included Paul W. Voorhies, former attorney general of the State. , Tomorrow the meeting will take on an added significance with the pres- ence of two prominent party person- ages, Henry P. Fletcher, newly elect- ed chairman of the Republican na- tional committee, and Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg of Grand Rapids. These two men will be the principal speak- ers of the day. Also to be heard tomorrow are Rep. Clarence J. McLeod of Detroit and Frank D. Fitzgerald, secretary of state, both of whom have been named for the Republican gubernatorial nomination. In addition, two former Michigan governors will speak, Wilber M. Brucker and Mr. Green. Second Concert Is Planned By MusicFaculty Members of the faculty of the School of Music will again unite their talents in the second concert of the Summer Session, Tuesday at 8:15 p.m. in Hill Auditorium. Wassily Besekirsky, violinist, Hanns Pick, violoncellist, and Joseph Brink- man, pianist, who were among the players last Tuesday, and Thelma Campus Poll Gives Margin To Roosevelt New Deal Is Supported By 2-1 Vote, While State Gives It Only 3-2 Edge Roosevelt Stronger Than When Elected Seventeen Schools Report Favorable Results When Digest Poll Closes University of Michigan students in- dicated their approval of the policies and acts of President Franklin D. Roosevelt by a margin of two to one, as shown in the final returns of the special campus poll conducted by the Literary Digest in co-operation with The Daily. The completed tabulations reveal that 1,660 students support the New Deal, while only 812 registered dis- approval. The Roosevelt Administration was also given a favorable margin in the nation-wide poll conducted at the same time by the Literary Digest when,1,083,752 people cast their bal- lots im support of the president and only 688,411 opposed him, giving the New Deal a three to two majority. Vermont Opposed Michigan as a state signified its ap- proval with a vote of 34,262 to 22,472 for the president. Vermont was the only one of the 48 states to oppose the New Deal. A comparison of the ratio of the final returns in favor of Roosevelt's acts and policies with the popular- vote ratio he received officially in 1932, indicates that he has increased his strength 3.83 per cent sinc his elec- tion. An analysis also shows that the Presidentahas incurredhnet lossesof support among the voters in this New Deal poll in 20 states and net gains in the, other 28 states since 1928. Mich- igan is included in th latter class with Roosevelt receiving an 11.27 per- centage of gain. Student Feeling General The vote cast by students here was r'epresentative of the feeling on other campuses, tabulations show. Sixteen thousand, two hundred and ninety- three undergraduates, or 64.35 per cent on 17 college campuses balloted in favor of the Administration, while 9,025 voted against it. Not one of the universities returned an unfavorable report on the New Deal with students at Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Vassar, University of Wash- ington, Dartmouth, Brown, Univer- sity of Virginia, University of Wis- consin, University of Colorado, Uni- versity of Minnesota, Wellesley, Stan-1 ford, University of Illinois, New York University, and Columbia, as well as the University of Michigan.

Is Deadline For Those Wishing To Make Third Excursion With reservations for 50 students already made, Prof. Carl J. Coe, di- rector of Summer Session excursions, announced that two buses had been chartered for the trip to the Cran- brook Schools in Bloomfield Hills to- day. This makes it possible for a considerable group to make arrange- ments for the trip as late as 8 a.m. today, if they still wish to join the party. The buses will leave from in front of Angell Hall at that time this morning, and will return to Ann Ar- bor late this afternoon. The group will first visit Cran- brook School, the main unit of the six which make up the Cranbrook Foundation. There they will be met by Dr. Charles J. Keppel, assistant headmaster of Cranbrook, who will conduct the party while it is in Bloomfield Hills. Cranbrook School, considered one of the leading private schools in the Middle West, is na- tionally known not only for its aca- demic ranking, but for its remarka- ble architecture, which has received several national prizes. Kingswood School, the girl's school of the Cranbrook Foundation, will also be visited by the group, as will Ann Arbor Is HitBy Worst Gale In Years Manchester Man Injured As Tree Falls On Leg; Taken To St. Joseph's Campus Trees Are Damaged By Storm Wind Velocity Rises From 15 To 48 Miles An Hour In Few Minutes By BRACKLEY SHAW In one of the worst wind and rain storms Ann Arbor has had in years one man was injured and hundreds of trees and branches were toppled to the ground. Reuben Sodt, of Manchester, was brought in to St. Joseph's Mercy Hos- pital yesterday afternoon after a tree had fallen on him and fractured his leg. According to hospital authori- ties his condition is serious. Worst In Years "The worst storm we've had in years," said Herbert . Sylvester, dis- trict agent for the Detroit Edison company. Mr. Sylvester reported that the path of the storm covered from Howell to Toledo with lines down throughout the area where trees had fallen across them. Many treesonmthe campus were felled or injured by the storm, Irving W. Truettner, inspector in the Build- ings and Grounds department of the University, said last night. Three trucks and 15 department employees were working overtime last night clearing up the wreckage. The most damage done on the campus was by a large tree blown down near East Hall. Observatory records show that at about 3:30 p.m. the temperature sud- denly fell 22 degrees, from 92 to 70, and the wind, which had been blowing at 15 miles per hour, rose quickly to 48 miles per hour followed by .31 inches of rainfall.- , 200 Trees Down' Eli A. Gallup, Superintendent of Parks and City Forester, reported last night that at least 200 trees were seriously injured and many more had limbs blown off them. Aside from several automobiles damaged by fall- ing trees and a porch on a residence damaged in the same way, property damage was slight. Two crews from the Park Department and two more from the Board of Public Works were at work last night and by nightfall it was reported that all streets were open and most of the sidewalks were cleared. Mr. Gallup requests that any persons wishing to report trouble call 9415. The Bell Telephone company re- ported a great deal of trouble with rural lines knocked down by falling trees in this regiop. DETROIT, July 6. - P) - Wind and rain storms sweeping across southern and southeastern Michigan late today killed five persons, injured a dozen others, and caused an un- estimated amount of property dam- age, In Detroit Mrs. Fanny Clemens, 88, and Frank Peak, 8, were killed when they were struck by falling trees. Near Jackson Louis Conners, 60, a farmer, was electrocuted when he attempted to disentangle his automo- bile from a high tension wire blown down with a tree. At Waldron, in Hillsdale County, Robert Azmoine died similarly attempting to move a wire which had fallen -outside a tav- ern. Mrs. Lavinia Frederick, 47, of Jackson, was drowned in Gillett's Lake, four miles east of that city, when waves swamped the boat in which she and her husband, D. H. Frederick, were fishing. Four persons narrowly escaped drowning in the St. Clair River dur- ing the storm when waves upset their small boat. All were rescued. From all over the southern part of the state came reports of broken power and telephone lines, unroofed barns and houses, leveled trees and wrecked signboards. The towns of Chelsea and Manchester were cut off from electric power for a time and communications with other towns were temporarily broken.

Perry Routs Crawford In Tennis Finals Lott And Stoefen Vanquish German Pair To Enter Wimbledon Semi-Finals WIMBLEDON, Eng., July 6. - (A)- Fred Perry, England's "Artisan" ten- nis player, rose to the greatest heights of his career today to present England with its own singles championship for the first time in 25 years. A. W. Gore was the last Englishman to win, in 1909. Where John Bull's best "public school boys" had proved inadequate for a quarter of a century to cope with the invaders, Perry stepped in and crushed Jack Crawford, the world's No. 1 player from the end of the empire, Australia, 6-3, 6-0, 7-5. Perry, the boy who only a few years ago had to ask his employer's per- mission to get off work to play in park tournaments, proved himself the undoubted master of the present crop of amateurs, and possibly entitled to rank with the greatest of all time. Seldom has a player of Crawford's ability absorbed such a thorough beating as Perry applied. Third Victory In Year What's more, he was doing it for .the third time in a year. Perry went to Australia to take Crawford's home title away on his own grounds, and he whipped Crawford for the Ameri- can singles championship last Sep- tember. But for an injured ankle, which probably cost him a quarter final match against Gregario de Ste- fani, in the French championships, he might have achieved the tennis equiv- alent of Bobby Jones' golfing grand slam of 1930. The only thing lacking to make Perry's triumuh comulete was the fact Licensing System May Be Instituted Unemployment Insurance Is Favored By Leaders, Report Says (Copyright, 1934, by the Associated Press) NEW YORK, July 6. -(P) -The Roosevelt administration, it was re- ported tonight by an authoritative source, is working on a plan to sup- plant the NRA with a strictly regu- lated self-government for industry. Hugh S. Johnson, the recovery ad- ministrator, indicated such steps sev- eral weeks ago in a preliminary set- up given President Roosevelt for study. Revisions were suggested. They are being made now for final considera- tion and approval by the President. The Associated Press could obtain no direct official government confir- mation tonight, but the source of the information is unusually close to the administration. This authority said the plan is almost certain to be ef- fected. Codes Would Be Permanent As outlined to the Associated Press, the program provides for continuance of codes as a permanent feature of industrial life. Under these codes, pursuant to rules of conduct laid down by ths Federal government and supervised closely, industry would be given the chance, to .goern itself.., Johnson, it was said, has paid par- ticular attention to the correction of the monopolistic tendencies charged up to the NRA. "The Federal government," said the Associated Press informant, "would watch closely to prevent any rise in prices it deemed unjustified. If the Sherman Anti-Trust Act continues under suspension, its provisions would probably be guarded by a licensing system to prevent such rises." Unemployment Insurance Vital For some months, the view has been held by some New Yorkers, prominent in industry and finance and friendly in the main to the aims of the Roose- velt administration, that the Federal government should unshoulder the pack of governing industry under the NRA. Some of these men also have felt that unemployment insurance, one of the points in the President's program of social reform for the next Con- gress, should be a part of any self- governing set-up for industry. They look on such insurance as a duty on industry. It was not learned, however, whether such a step was contemplated in the supplanting of the NRA. Johnson has been in New York for several days,' consulting with several persons on the change. See Influence Of Swope It was emphasized' that he has taken the lead in the reformation. Persons close to.the recovery admin- istrator said he has drawn on his own experiences in industry for some phases of the proposed supplanting and also has used ideas advanced in the past by others. This was taken to mean that John- son has been in consultation with Gerard Swope, president of the Gen- eral Electric Company, who three years ago advanced the program for stabilization of industry through sta- bilizing employment and co-ordinat- ing production, all under self-govern- ment. It' was held certain that any final plans, under which the government would turn over to.industry the right to rule itself, would contain some form of a guarantee continuing the NRA collective bargaining powers.
