Other candidates for President of Germany devoted the weeck end to campaign addresses elsewhere, Adolf Hitler, the Fascist leader and nominee, declaring at Weimar that his National Socialists were ready to take over the government The Washington memorial exercises were given an official character by the presence of Chancellor Bruening. several other members of the cabinct, a repre- sentative of President Von Hindenburg, many members of the Reichstag and members of the American embassy, headed by Ambassador Frederic M. Backett. Chancellor Bruening. giving an elect- tion twist to his words, said the diffi- culties facing Republican Germany to- day were similar to those of early America and that Washington had over- come them because of his strength of character, Citing statements of James Truslow Adams, American author, and Dr. Nich- olas Murray Butler, American educator, to show how Washington was the vic- tim of bitter personal attacks, Dr. Bruening referred to Hinderburg, with- out mentioning his name, as a similar target of the Rightists in the present presidential campaign. Lesson From Washington's Life. “Unprecedented are the personal at- tacks and suspicions of opponents against a man who is still living and also bears the name ‘father of his coun- try,’” he said. ‘The chancellor said a lesson for Ger- many of “persevere, never give up," ‘was taught by Washington's life Closing with & review of prominent Germans in American history. he ex- pressed the hope that good relations be- tween Germany and the United States would never again be broken off. Am- bassador Sackett, responding in English on behalf of the United States Govern- ment, lauded Gen. von Steuben, Baron von Kalb and other Germans in the struggle for American independence In the largest single demonstration of Germany's presidential campaign. 50,000 Republicans representing the anti-Fascist “iron front” thronged the Lustgarten while a half dozen airplanes with Hindenburg’s name painted onl their wings roared overhead. Six Republican Reichsbanner men were injured in coflicts after the dem- onstration. The political fights were particularly intense between Hitler's National Socialists and Communists over the week end. Many Arrests Are Made. One Nazi was shot desd and four were seriously wounded. Thirty Nazis and 90 Communists were arrested. A Dbystander was in a eritical condi- tion from a fractured skull received in & mauling during an affray between political antagonists, Otto Wels, president of the Social Demacratic party, warned at the “iron front” meeting that “if Hitler, a for- eign adventurer, triumphs the working class will be ruthlessly suppressed.” He appealed to the Socialists to vote for Hindenburg because he was a “bul- wark against civil war.” Vice Chancellor Hermann Dietrich teok the stump for Hindenburg at Koenigsberg. He appealed to the Ger- man nation to take into account the difficulties confronting the govern- ment since the war, blaming Germany’s present dilemma on the world conflict. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF.

NEW YORK, March 7.—George Reith has his own system of one over one in contract and is a vigorous op- ponent of jump-forcing bids. He was chairman of the committee which con- ducted the recent Eastern bridge cham- pionships and was himself a competitor. slam, he believes, is a convincing ex- ample of the merit of his method of starting the bidding low and keeping it open by minimum responses. Here is the hand: EAST. 8—10817 H—91 D—KJ105 C—A 1095 REITH (South-Dealer). S5—A K 4 H—K Q10 5 D.—2 C—Q J 86 4 The bidding: ~ ‘West. North. 1D. (A). 4 H. (C). 6 H. (E). Pass. Pass. Pass. Pass. Holds Trick Count Superior. Mr. Reith's explanation of key bids under his system follows: A—One over one. B—Another one over one, & bid of a second suit indicating a fair hand. C—A raise to four with six probable tricks. D—Speculative slam invitation. E—Slam invitation accepted because of control of two suits, ample heart support, singleton spade and the King of clubs to fill out a suit bid by South. Mr. Reith believes a probable trick count is far superior to honor trick valuation in determining the merits of hands. Under systems which use the honor trick valuation and jump-forcing bids the hand probably would be bid as follows Difference Revealed. Bouth, one club; West, pass; North, three diamonds, a forcing bid because of three honor tricks and a biddable suit; East, pass: South, three hearts, showing another biddable suit of four- card length: West, pass; North, four hearts, Indicating satisfaction with South’s secondary suit; East, pass; South, six hearts, based on knowledge of partner's possession of at least seven honor tricks.

Pressing need for the passage of a “new and effective corrupt practices act” before the adjournment of the present session of Congress was de- clared by Basil Manly, special investi- gator and advisor of the Nye Senatorial Campaign Committee, at a luncheon of the Woman's Democratic Club today. | The Nye committee has prepared a bill dealing with corrupt practices which has been introduced in the Senate by Senator Nye of North Carolina. After pointing out the huge expendi- tures which have been made in recent political campaigns for the nomination of Federal officers, including members of the Senate, and their election, Mr. Manly said . “The unusual political situation with which we are now confronted offers an almost unparalleled opportunity for the corrupt " use of money to accomplish substantial control over national policies during the next four years. In the Re- publican party there is no presidential contest and it will be relatively easy, therefore, for selfish and corrupt groups to take advantage of the lack of public interest in the doings of that conven- tion to write into its platform whatever policies they may desire. Democratic Situation. “In the Democratic party there is also a situation which invites activity by corrupt wealth to promote its own ends. Here we have a multiplicity of candidates and a confusion of issues, which makes it relatively easy for any well organized and well financed group to secure control of mougg delegates to dictate, not only the choice of the candidate, but the major issues upon which the party will wage its cam- paign. This situation i rendered the more favorable to the corrupt manipu- lation of delegates and the shrewd trading of votes by the existence of the absurd ‘“two-thirds rule” under which the will of the majority of Democratic voters may be absolutely nullified and thwarted by a handful of delegates. “The present congressional situation likewise lends itself to the corrupt in- fluence of money in politics. Here we have the control of both Houses of Congress hanging in the balance and offering a great political prize that may perhaps be gained by influencing the Tesult of elections in a few States and congressional districts. It is perhaps true that there will be less money than usual aveilable for politics this year. Nevertheless, for that very reason, not only will every dollar expended produce 10 times the customary effect but that money is likely to be from those sources whic or corrupt ends to gain.’ Provisions Outlined. Mr. Manly discussed briefly the pro- visions of the corrupt practices bill pre- pared by the Nye Committee after thor- ough hearings on the subject. The prinicpal feature of the bill, he said, is that which fixes upon the candidate and upon the chairman of a political committee their full measure of respon- sibility, who are held not only respon sible for the filing of complete and ac curate reports, which they must per- sonally approve, but also for holding the expenditures within the ‘‘reasonably generous” limits provided by the bill. “In order that they may be able to exercise this responsibility,” said Mr. Manly, “the bill forbids any solicitation of contributions or expenditure of funds except by such persons and organi- zations as they may designate in writ- ing. The bill also seeks to provide ef- fective regulation of political expendi- tures in connection with primaries as well as in general elections.” 0SLO CABINET RESIGNS OSLO, Norway, March 7 (#).—All the cabinet ministers who served under the late Premier Kolstad submitted their resignations today to King ke asked that they remain in office e time being. o GERMAN CAMPAIGN HASODD FEATURES Only One Candidate Has Set Program—Issues and Outcome Clouded. BY EDGAR ANSEL MOWRER. By Cable to The Star. BERLIN, March 7—With the Ger- | man presidential election only a week off, the issues and outcome become less | and less clear. Consider the candidates President Paul von Hindenburg, born conservative, is the candidate of the Democrats, Liberals, Socialists and Pacifists Adolf Hitler, who calls himself a So- cialist. is the choice of the extreme Fascist Right Ernest Thaelmann, Communist can- didate. is wanted for high treason in Hamburg, and only his standing as a Reichstag deputy saves him from ar- rest Theodore Duesterberg, leader of the Steel Helmet organization, is an out- spoken monarchist. In his great meet- ing last night two of the former | Kaiser's sons, Eitel Friedrich and Oscar, | marched with the Steel Helmets, while | Wilhelm's eldest son, the former |crown prince, and his father are ad- | herents. Another brother, August | Wilhelm, is a member of Hitler's band. One Has Precise Program. President von Hindenburg, the Prot- estant North German, is supported by the numerous South and the West German Catholics Hitler, Austrian-born Roman Catho- | lic, has the support of a large share of the North German Protestant clergy. Duesterberg announces that he op- poses Socialism in every form. Hitler declares he is the only true Socialist and that the Social Democratic and Communist parties are “Marxists,” who do not understand true Socialism. ‘The only candidate with a precise | program is Adolf Gustav Winter. He wants only to compel the government to revalidate the Red pre-war 1,000-mark notes. Thirty-five thousand other Ger- mans want the same thing. The Socialists are voting for Von Hindenburg to prevent the election of Hitler. The Nationalists are urging the candidacy of Duestenberg to prevent the election of Von Hindenburg. Prepared Speech Never Made. No attac on Hitler has been so bitter as the one prepared for last night by the Steel Helmet leader, Maj. Frans Von Stephani. Hitler's movement, said Maj. Stephani, is un-German; his belief is Roman; his Caesardom is Roman; his infallibility is Roman; his political idea is Roman, and the costume and symbols of his followers are Roman. Yet his speech, after being circulated, was never made, apparently because the Nationalist leader and newspaper mag- nate, Alfred Hugenberg, wants to keep the door open to negotiate with both sides should the first balloting in the election prove undecisive. The ifists, who are voting for Von Hindenburg, are becoming alarmed. Meanwhile, it is the impression ot competent observers that Hitler is gain- ing ground. His meetings are unques- tionably the bets staged of all and his theatricality is proving very attractive, especially to youths and women. It is possible that the women's vote will de- cide the election. (Copyright. 1932.) DESERT UPRISING LOOMS IN ARABIA! | Laconic Report Bares Alarming Unrest Among Tribes Nominally Governed by Ibn Saud. By the Associated Press AMMAN, Syria, March 7—A laconic | report, reaching here from the northern | areas of Tebuk and Theima, in Hedjaz, contains a threat of revolt in the desert | against Ibn Saud, “the Puritan Ruler of Arabia.” The message, from an unnamed source, simply said: “The tribes are alarmingly restless.” This was interpreted here as mean- ing that some sections of the Bedouins, whose allegiance to Ibn Saud has beer at best only nominal, were preparing to_throw off his yoke altogether. . British officials recently have notieed signs that have led them to wonder if the “peace of Tbn Saud” could be main- tained much longer. The_energy and skill with which Tbn Saud has governed his realm from his capital of Riyadh, seemed to give the lie to any forecasts of its failure. It has been known for some time, however, that the world economic dif- ficulties have affected even the wild nomads of the desert, and that some outlying tribes were increasingly prone to turn to their old sport of camel raid- ing and staging blood fueds, which Tbn Saud has done his best to suppress.
