Berlin, July 9.—(?)—Germany plans to push vigorously a friendlier foreign Policy, it appeared Monday, fearing other countries will build political fences completely shutting her out. Her hand was figuratively stretched out in mingled friendship, apprehen- sion and defiance to France and the world. A ringing pronouncement for Fran- co-German understanding, and at the same time a warning that Ger- many will fight “as no people ever yet fought for liberty,” by Rudolf Hess, trusted Meutenant of Hitler, was con- sidered something of an about-face| ried, Even science, enlisted Monday to clarify the questions concerning the duality or individuality of Siamese from a firm Nazi policy. 12,000 Nazi chieftains the visit to London of Louis Barthou, French foreign minister, in search of security agreements, and the concern of other nations over the drastic eec- ond Nazi “revolution.” Only a few weeks ago Germany emphasized that she must have many more arms and would not be dictated to—in short that the world must woo her friendship. Recounts Horror of War But Hess after recounting horrors of war, said: “I say as a veteran to veterans across the border, I, as a leader of one people, ask the leaders of other Peoples; must this be? Can we not by mutual goodwill sparé humanity another war?” Hitler was in seclusion Monday in “second revolution,” which has caus- ed critical comment abroad; The activities of Louis Barthou, French foreign minister, who is in London reportedly to seek Great Brit- ain’s assufances of sid in the event of an emergency—such as a war with Germany. Newspapers displayed Hees’ speech prominently. Some of them pointed out it was made on the very day of Barthou’s arrival in London. Editorial comment reflected skept- icism of the sincerity of the tures. +, Some while Hess France, of and Violet Hilton, Siamese twin, who want to get mar- New York, July 9—(/)—In justifi- bewilderment, the: twins, was slightly nonplussed.

Baker, state auditor, as the six months’ period ending June 30 was computed. While its neighbor, Minnesota, showed a deficit, the fund here has overcome a debit carried from last year. At the same time last year, the gen- eral fund was $59,545.80 “in the red.” ‘Mrs. Baker laid the present surplus directly to slashes made in depart- mental budgets, in a general scaling down of salaries and abolishment of other items by the last legislature. ‘The retrenchment, she said, has made Possible the saving which would not otherwise been affected.

Rumor that such action was con- templated spread late last week but the report was denied by Langer Sat- urday. Approximately 70 leaders of the Langer party gathered here over the week-end, however, and the matter was discussed in detail. No decision ‘was reached but there were signs that the call for a special session might be issued. If this course is chosen action will come soon, probably on Wednesday. What emergency would be declared to exist in the event a call is issued remains to be disclosed, but it is an- ticipated that one of the real pur- Poses of a special session would be to revise the law in an effort to pre- vent the ouster of Langer from the governor's chair as requested in a petition to the supreme court by Lieu- tenant Governor O. H. Olson, who seeks to take charge of the executive office on the ground that Langer was disqualified from further service by his conviction on a felony charge in federal court. The nature of such a move, if any is contemplated, was not mentioned. ‘Would Probe Court Methods Another rumor was that the legis- lature would be asked to investigate the workings of the federal court and specifically the activities of P. W. La- nier as U. 8. district attorney. Sched- uled for a place “on the pan” also, according to this report, would be Judge A. M. Christianson, a member jupreme court and federal re- lief administrator for the state. The idea back of this talk, appar- ently, is to probe the activities of both federal Soares pao view to aiding Langer in his appeal from con- viction in federal court and to dis- credit the two men before the public if it is possible to do so. At a meeting which lasted until early Sunday morning, it was report- ed, a tentative decision was reached to call the special session if such ac- tion met with the approval of Lynn J. Frazier, senior senator; William Lemke, incumbent congressman, and Usher L. Burdick, Republican nomi- nee.

Hugh 8. Johnson expected to clean up @ batch of business before convert- ing the recovery agency’s one-man. leadership into a “five-man control” for the summer. Most of the job of directing NRA will be shifted to five assistants. Johnson wants to see how NRA can get along without his hand on the helm. The tryout—which is purely informal and designed to give John- son a chance to relax—will be also ae test of commission con- trol. The general's way of relaxing will be a swing across the country to sell the Blue Eagle and put in a good word here and there for the new deal. A last-minute rush of affairs came to his desk Monday. Among problems that awaited his return from a week of rest and conferences in New York were: Big Problems Confront NRA 1, Promulgation of one big code for 450 small industries.

A 50-page report, ordered by President Roosevelt, on salaries paid moving picture stars, is expected to be turned in soon. Johnson's plans for his tour are tentative but NRA officials expect him to travel to the Pacific, beginning his speeches Wednesday at Waterloo, Towa. The five-man board will run NRA except for major decisions which Johnson must make under the law. On the board will be G. A, Lynch, NRA administrative officer; Robert W. Lea, assistant administrator for industry, and George L. Berry, A. R. Glancy and George Buckley, division administrators. q K. OF C. DEPUTIES NAMED BY MERGENS New Leader Also Appoints Rev. Father F.
