Unaware of the single blast of buck- shot from Leo Holscher’s shotgun with which he drove off 20 strikers attacking his ice cream truck in the downtown district, the Rev. Francis Haas said mediatoys were seeking to draw the strikers closer to the em- ployers’ peace terms. Holscher was not held. Troops in trucks plied the streets again during the outburst three blocks from guard headquarters. Earl Col- lins and George Schirts, with minor wounds, were treated at a hospital after they and 18 companions had smashed windows in the truck with bricks, ripped out ignition wires, and scattered ice cream containers. Father Haas and E. H. Dunnigan, federal mediators, reiterated their hopes of settlement despite the re- jection Saturday by strike leaders of the employers advisory committee's Proposed agreement and the central labor union mediation committee, an- nouncement today in supporting strikers by demanding settlement on the basis of the Haas-Dunnig: sentenced to up to 90 days at hard labor.

Chancellor Hitler's address, a chan- cellery spokesman intimated, will be of a political nature, with a direct e\Jogy of von Hindenburg reserved for the funeral services at Tannen. berg. Because of the unusual circum. stances of his coup d'etat, whereby he Merged the offices of president and chancellor, Hitler was believed to be intending to seize the occasion to ey, bis assumption of the powers of a mi . From the reichstag rostrum Der Fuehrer is expected to utilize what may be his best opportunity to justify in a People and the world his precipitate action of Thursday, immediately after von Hindenburg’s death. Hitler's last appearance before the reichstag was July 13 when he de- fended to Germany and the world his bloody purging of Nazi ranks June 30. World Reaction Studied Displaying a lively interest in world reaction to the situation, Hitler is understood to be especially desirous! of having America understand his mo- tive and plan. Some observers wondered if this leadership might not take Hitler to| a throne, comparing his steps to those of Napoleon. In designating August 19 as the date of plebiscite in which he hopes tc gain the approval of the German na- tion for his acquisition of new power, Hitler has sharply limited his oppor- tunities for effective pleas for votes. Confidence in Adolf Hitler as the “leader of new Germany” was ex- pressed Saturday by Franz von Papen, until recently vice chancellor and a critic of extreme Naziism, after a visit to the death bed of President Paul von Hindenburg. Von Papen said Hitler would serve as “a trustee of President von Hinden- burg’s noblest tradition and history who will continue the work to which the life of the sainted lead marshal was devoted.” ‘ The statement was regarded as re- assuring to Nazis, since von Papen had been considered a leader of conservative Germany. He was named special envoy to Austria by Hitler last week.

In the past 10 days, according to C. M. Barks, assistant state feed dis- tributor for the FERA, the state pic- ture of available feed has acute. Corn has been stunted by continued drouth, forcing farmers to cut the stand in an effort to conserve what little green silage remains. Leaves left on stands in the fields have withered and been blown away by the wind. Several hundred thousand tons of feed will be shipped into the state by federal authorities, to meet the need during the winter, E. A. Willson, state federal relief administrator, Only one section of the state is expected to produce a fair crop of roughage, according to Barks, in the north and central eastern portions. Southeastern portions had been par- ticularly hard hit, with the remainder of the state expected to produce little. Rain is expected to aid the millet crop in the Slope area, if it comes this week, Barks said. He doubted “if much corn will be available.” Majer Blow to Steckmen He termed the crop situation a “major blow to the livestock industry in North Dakota.” “A week or ten days ago many had fields of corn which would have given an abundance of roughage,” Barks said. “At the present time the corn is so badly stunted, it is being cut now to conserve what little green stuff is in it. “Corn is burning up and is going faster all the time,” was Willson’s re- Port, “hot winds have taken sub-soil moisture. Conditions have been bad and are getting worse all the time.” As farmers and others exhaust their resources much of which has been received from cattle purchasing and wheat allotment program of the gov- ernment, a gradual increase is noted in the number on relief, Willson said. An extensive grain-feed program has been planned for this winter by the relief administration. Farmers have been placed on water conserva- tion projects throughout the state. Fifty-three dam projects have been approved. The administration is rushing the work to completion be- fore freezing weather sets in. Work thus provided for farmers of passed early Saturday led to extreme Precautions of federal and county of.

THE TRIO’ SOUGHT IN EXTORTION PLOT AGAINST FIVE MEN In- Los Angeles Millionair: cluding Gettle, Receive $60,000 Demand Los Angeles, Aug. 4—(7)—A gang. known to police only as “The Trio,” is being sought in connection with an extortion plot directed against five niillionaires, among them William F. Gettle, Beverly Hills Oil magnate, who was kidnaped last May and freed without the payment of ransom. The search for the gang was dis- closed Saturday as investigators of the district attorney's office and United States postal inspectors at- tempted to trace letters in which $60,000 in cash was demanded of the five business men. Besides Gettle the men who re- ceived the threats were Alexander Pantages, film impresario; E. L. Do- heny, oil king; J. J. Doyle, oil and fight promoter; and Ora Monnette, vice president of the Bank of America. ‘The first extortion letter was de- livered to Monnette Thursday. A few heurs later another was delivered to Friday, Doyle received a letter. Neither Gettle nor Doheny were approached, so far as is known, tut their names were mentioned in the: other missives.
