P.) Berlin, July 2—President Paul von Hindenburg Monday made the Reichswehr (German army) personal- ly responsible for the safety of Vice Chancellor Franz von Papen, threa- tening a state of siege if he were vic- timized for his recent bold stand in criticizing some Nazi policies. A guard of special vlackshirt sol- Giers was delegated to insure Von Papen’s safety. The ultimate fate of the vice chan- cellor, bitter conservative critic of some of the Nazi methods, had be- come a question of burning moment 3a Germany when his friend and pa- tron, President von Hindenburg, gave his blessing to Chancellor Hitler Mon- Gay.

Others close to Von Papen were said to have been given the alterna- tive of caine ineediley themselves or facing tl squad. Hitlerites Firmly in Control It was apparent to all that Hitler and his chief adjutant, Hermann Wil- helm Goering, were, in the present situation at least, firmly in the sad- le, With principal leaders of the op- rumored hourly, opposing forces had no directing to lead them into action.

FLYING SQUADRON TO MARK OPENING OF SOUTHERN ROUTE Reception Planned When Air- mail Ship Arrives Here at Gay tour of North Dakota. Refusing to make any statements Tegarding his conclusions reached after an inspection of the proposed Missouri river diversion project, Tug- well, however, it was learned from experimental station 5 “They're doing a great job there,” he remarked. He paid officials at the station a tribute fér their labor in panied by Ryerson, chief of the bureau of plant indus- try, and Lee Strong, chief of the bu- reau of entomology, Tugwell inspect- ed the experimental station in a tour that lasted for several hours. In his Party also were Senator Frazier and C. C. Talbott, president of the North Dakota Farmers Union. Refuses to Make Statement Tugwell replied the weather “was nice” when he was asked _ directly about his opinion of the diversion Project. Asked for a comparison He and his party expect to halt at Livingston, Mont., where they will be met by forestry scientists, who are to take him on a tour of blistered forests. No definite schedule has been ar- renged, although eventually Tugwell said he expected to reach Washing- ton, then move down the west coast into California, “if we are not called back to Washington before then” The undersecretary of agriculture completed his inspection of the re- servoir system and dam site of the Missouri river diversion project at Big Bend, Missouri river, near Coleharbor. Sunday. Tugwell’s visit to North Dakota was to observe drouth conditions and get an idea of how relief expenditures, which will mount to millions in the state before another crop is harvest- ed, may fit into the plan for the Mis- souri river development. He will re- port his conclusions to Relief Director wary Hopkins and President Roose- velt. His visit to North Dakota was the result of action by the Missouri River Diversion association’s special dele- gation which spent two days in Washington before the adjournment congress. ‘ _N. D.

FARM CREDIT HEAD DEFENDS SIX-YEAR MORATORIUM BILL Myers Declares “Slight Minor- ity” Only Will Have to Go Into Bankruptcy PRESIDENT SIGNS SATURDAY Measure Fits in With General Program of Protecting Distressed Farmers Washington, July 2—(4)—William I Myers, governor of the farm credit administration, said Monday only a “very slight minority” of farmers will “have to go into bankruptcy to save their homes” under the Frazier- Lemke act giving a partial six-year moratorium on farm mortgages. The measure was signed Friday by President Roosevelt, but his action was not announced until Saturday. He expresesed the opinion that “losses of capital will not greately exceed, if they exceed at all, the losses that would be sustained if this measure were not signed.” Myers, in a statement, said the leg- islation fits.in with the farm credit program “since it attempts to prevent eccasional selfish creditors from fore- closing on distressed farm debtors.” Land Banks Brought Relief The general recovery program of the past year and loans made by the federal land banks and the land bank commissioner have relieved the “great majority of distressed farm mortgage cases,” Myers added. He said more than 86 per cent of the installments on land bank com- missioner loans which matured prior to June 1 were paid before they were due. Of the delinquent loans two- thirds were for less than 30 days, he added. Myers’ statement in part follows: “The Frazier-Lemke amendment to the bankruptcy act is in accord with the program of the farm credit ad- ministration, since it attempts to prevent occasional selfish creditors from foreclosing on distressed farm debtors. “The program of the farm credit administration has been to prevent farm foreclosures and to refinance excessive debt burden on a basis which would permit good farmers to work out. “As a result of the general recov- ery during the last year and the loans of the federal land banks and the land bank commissioner, the great majority of distressed farm mortgage cases has been relieved, leaving a very slight minority of farmers who will have to go into bankruptcy to save their homes. “Farmers as a class are very slow tO take bankruptcy and my experi- ence in working with them personal- ly and in the farm credit adminis- tration gives me every confidence that they still retain an ever-present urge to pay their debts. ceedings “An examination by me of the transcripts and exhibits in the inves- tigation of the Northwestern Bancor- poration leads me to conclude that there is sufficient evidence available criminal proceedings against certain individuals connected with that institution,” Governor Olson said. 8.

Of those which are delinquent, two-thirds are for less than 30 days. Farmers Show Good Faith “This shows that even the most heavily indebted farmers are acting in the highest good faith. “In lending almost a billion dol- lars on the security of farm mort- gages, 90 per cent of which was used to refinance existing farm debt bur- dens, and in making commitments to lend $700,000,000 more, the farm cred- it administration has become the creditor of the vast number of farm- ers who otherwise might have needed to avail themselves of bankruptcy as by the Frazier-Lemke bill in sioner have been made, and will con- tinue to be made, up to 75 per cent normal value of farms, al- less than one-tenth of the in the country were indebted more than 70 per cent of their at the time the refinancing n program i “At that time more than one-half e farms in the country were MEMO ene re ] Young Astor’s Bride JUDGES 10 DBCIDE IP THEY WILL TAKE CONTROL IN MATTER Sathre, Representing Langer, Denies Their Right to Rule On Proposal FULLER SPEAKS FOR OLSON If Court Accepts Jurisdiction Further Arguments Will Be Heard in Case BULLETIN Without waiting for the state su.

AFTER BANK HOLDUP Arch Public Enemy Believed Headed for Chicago Fol- lowing Indiana Raid Chicago, July 2—()—Once again John Dillinger has outwitted, momen- tarily at least, his pursuers. Although the cry “Get Dillinger” was shouted with new vigor by peace officers on the theory it was he who led the $29,898 raid of bank bandits on the Merchants’ National Bank of Scuth Bend, Ind., the trail they fol- lewed was as cold as the others left from time to time by Amirica’s arch Public enemy. An attack by one of two despera- Goes on a North Webster, Ind., phy- sician looked for a time like an im- portant clue in the hunt for the elu- Sve gunman, but it was dissipated leter when the doctor said he could not identify the men as Dillinger mobsters. The physician, Dr. Leslie A. Laird, was knocked unconscious when hit: Over the head with the butt of a revolver in the hands of one of two mien after he had beet: called from his home to his office early Sunday to treat one of them for a bullet wound in the arm. After he had giv- er, the wounded man his professional sttention the pair asked for narcotics. They request was refused and the at tack followed. Although Dillinger has often been reported dead, investigators said they were confident he was the leader of the band of robbers who killed Police- man Howard Wagner in the South Bend raid. All roads leading into Chicago were patrolled by heavily armed officers. The belief that Dillinger and his men may have headed toward Chi- cago seeking their old big city hide- Outs, was based on the finding at , Ind., 100 miles southeast mandamus be issued directing Byrne to do so, or show cause why he should not. This brings the question of eligibil- ity before the court in still another way. Stitzel, who formerly lived at New Rockford, has been & salesman, rep- resenting the National Cash Register company. Argument as to whether North Da- kota’s supreme court should take orig- inal jurisdiction in the offort to un- seat William Langer from the gover- nor’s office began before the five Justices of that body Monday after- noon, The suit is being bi ht by Lieu- tenant Governor O. H. Oth on the ground that ® man convicted of » felony is automatically disqualified from holding public office. Objecting to the petition was At- torney General P. O. Sathre, whc contended that the court could not match, following Astor's break [take coghizance of the subject mat- ter of the petition. H. G. Fuller, Fargo, is representing Olson. Olson recently took the oath of of- fice as governor but his first ouster action was not considered on the ground that the case against the gov- ernor was not complete at that time, since no sentence had been passed following his conviction in federal court. If the supreme court takes jurisdic- tion, two orders could be issued by it. One, an alternative writ of quo wa! ranto, questioning “by what right” Langer continued to hold office, would have no affect on the governor's status—he would continue exercising the duties of governor until final dis- position of the hearing; the other, an injunction proceeding, would enjoin the governor from execu- tive duties pending final ment of the court. “_ Court Allows Appeal Counsel for Langer and his co- Gefendants in the federal court trial, under sentence of Judge Andrew Miller for their crimes against the United States, Saturday obtained an order from the court at aFrgo allow- ing an appeal to the circuit court of appeals. A citation was served on the gov- ernment attorneys, notifying them of appeal, and bonds for the defendants were approved by Assistant District Attorney Donald M. Murtha. The bonds, as fixed by the court Friday following sentence of the de- fendants, are combination bail and supersedeas bonds guaranteeing all costs in connection with appeal and guaranteeing the amounts of the fines susan . d beter we the five men whom e jury found guilty of conspiracy to obstruct the orderly operation of an act of congress. Patterson Signs Bonds Among the bondsmen, it is under- stood, are G. (Dell) Patterson, warden of the state penitentiary, and Frank Langer, " ble the amount of the bonds. Langer’s bond is for $10,000, the amount of his fine. Bonds of High- way Commissioner Frank A. Vogel, R. A. Kinzer and Oscar J. Chaput are for $5,000 each, and Harold McDon- ald’s bond is $1,000. Vogel, and Chaput were fined $3,000 each, and McDonald was given no fine at all, being sentenced only to four months in the Burleigh county jail. The governor's prison term is fixed at 18 months, the others, besides Mc- Donald, at 13 months each.
