The Nazi storm troops, who fought side by side with the Steel Helmeters to establish the Hitler regime and shared police duties with them since, had accused the Iatter of enrolling more than 1000 former Reichsbanner (Republican defense force) ‘men to oust the Nasis. The order disbanding the Steel Hel- meters in that state and removing them as auxiliary police will be rescinded Sat- urday, it was announced. This was de- cided after a conference between Die- trich Klagges, Nazi minister of interior in Brunswick and Franz Seldte, the National leader of the Steel Helmet and minister of labor in the Hitler cabinet. Leaders of the Steel Helmet, which 1s a monarchist organization, Teports that the incident have repercussions nationally and tend to. estrange Nationalist members of the Hitler cabinet who are closely connec with the group. It was just a *sol- diers row,” they said. The Jewish newspaper Vossiche Zle- tung, commenting on the boycott, said if it “is carried out to a finish it would mean the economic ruin of hundreds of thousands of German Jews, irrespec- tve of age or sex, and the ejection of German Jewry from German communi- tles.” & ‘The comervnuve}?eumhe An:nelme.i:s Zietung advised the governm Nazi pirty to consider the possible ef- fect on “the interests of 12,000,000 Ger- mans” living in foreign countries.

One hundred thirty-five persons live on 8 square kilometer in Germany and in America hardly 15 to the square kilom- eter. Despite this, America has re- stricted immigration even excluding completely certain nationalities.’ ‘The release of the boycott announce- ment last night was seen as a victory of the Left Wing of the party, including Capt. Hermann Goering, minister with- out portfolio, and Hans Kerrel, presi- dent of the Prussian Diet, over the more moderate wing of Chancellor Hit- ler and Dr. Willlam Frick, minister of interior. Shop Windows Smashed. Twenty-four Jewish shop windows were smashed overnight in Emden by persons who have not been traced. In Goettingen virtually all Jewish shop windows were smashed. Auxiliary police were guarding the premises today. At Gleiwitz, Beuthen and Hinden- burg, Jewish stores reopened today as anti-Jewish proj da ceased afl Tepresentations by the Silesian Cham- ber of Commerce, which pointed out the inexpediency of such a campaign. At Goerlitz, on the other hand, crowd numbering 1,000 assembled be- Zore the court house shouting demands for the removal of Jewish judges and lawyers. Nazi storm troopers then oc- cupied the building and took several Jews into protective custody. At Wernigerode storm troops closed Jewish stores and arrested some owners, who later were released. Wolff’s Telegraph Bureau today is- sued a “warning against German national wealth” which read: “During the past days there have been repeated excesses, in the course of which show windows in numerous Jewish businesses have been smashed. “From a special source it is pointed out that the real sufferers from such actions are not the Jewish firms con- cerned, but German insurance com- panies, and hence that thereby, in the last analysis, German national wealth is being deliberately destroyed.” Closed for Public Safety. Police at Zittau closed a chain store and a Jewish drapery store “for pub- lic_safety.” Nazl delegations at Eberswalde ap- peared at all Jewish stores and demand- ed immediate closing, as well as dismis- sal of all employes. During the night show windows of all Jewish shops were smeared with tar and glass cases in the town’s two Jewish-owned motion picture houses were smashed. Nazi headquar- ters expressed disapproval of these acts of vandalism. Storm troopers at Bad Frelenwalde stood before Jewish shops warning against buying in them. Only half of the usual number of tradesmen ap- peared at the annual jahrmarkt, since the Jews remained away. On order of the storm troops, pickets were withdrawn from Jewish shops in Schwedt after negotiations with the lice. momclam in Wuppertal issued orders prohibiting the purchase from Jews of supplies for municipal undertakings or offices. The newspaper Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung reported Chancellor Hitler as having said at today's cabinet meeting that measures against the “atrocity campaign” are necessary because pop- ular indignation otherwise might take undesirable forms. The situation is under control now and violence by individuals must prevented under all circumstances, said the newspaper, quoting Herr Hitler, but the Jews must bear in mind that any Jewish campaign against Germany would resct most sharply upon Jews in Germany. RUSSIA PLANS PROTEST. Moscow Dislikes Nazi Raid on Soviet Trade Office. o MOSCOW, March 29 (#).—The raid in Hamburg, Germany, yesterday by criminal and political police on a branch of the Soviet trade delegation today drew a caustic reproach from the news- paper Izvestia, which said “our gov- ernment will not accept this outrageous procedure without the most energetic Totest.” 5 (The police in raiding the trade dele- gation office yesterday said they were searching “for a person whose arrest had been ordered.” offices were searched without finding the man they sought, the delegation’s records were not disturbed.)

NAZIS OF AUSTRIA DEFY GOVERNMENT Official Organ of Party Says Dollfuss Agreements Will Not Be Recognized. By the Associated Press. VIENNA, March 29.—Austrian Nazis, through their official organ, “Deutscho- esterreichische Tageszeitung,” today warned the world that the forthcoming Nazi regime would not recognize any agreement signed by the regime of Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss. The newspaper also warned members | of the present government: “You are playing not only with the last resources of our people, but you are risking also your heads and your lives.” ‘The newspaper was confiscated soon after its appearance, however. It pointed out in its warning that the ¥overnment. in mortgaging the people’s uture income to repay foreign debts of the Creditanstalt “and other collapsed s” is acting without authority, “for long ago it lost the people’s confi- ence.” A Nazi effort to demonstrate what they considered the weakness of the Dollfuss dictatorial machine by swarm- ing through the inner city last night in deflance of government decrees, did not meet with serious resistance by police, although 50 persons were arrested for smashing windows. Defy Dollfuss Decree. ‘The demonstrators smashed windows in business houses and coffee shops while shouting allegiance to Chancellor Hitler of Germany. ‘They marched through the main part of the city in defiance of the edict is- sued against such demonstrations three weeks ago, when Chancellor Dollfuss assumed dictatorial powers. ‘The chancellor had issued the ban immediately after nation-wide demon- strations celebrating Hitler's electoral victory. Paper swastikas, emblems of the Hit- lerites, were strewn along the boulevards and streets as the marchers swung along singing campaign songs. Another demonstration in Leoben by Nazi students was more than police could cope with. They called in the gendarmerie, which cleared the streets with bayonets. Act to Help Banks. A government communique March 20 announced the institution of drastic measures to restore the liquidity of Austria’s big banks. ‘The decrees authorized loans by the finance ministry of 140,000,000 schil- lings (approximately $19,600,000) and by the national bank of 40,000,000 schillings (about $5,600,000) to an “in- stitute for revision and trusteeship.” The institute, in turn, was authorized to lend the funds to banks. Reports that dny Austrian bank was in danger of collapse were described by communique as ‘“entirely un- founded.” SIR WILLMOTT LEWIS SEES REGIONAL U. S.

Her body was found on the kitchen floor by her widowed mother, Mrs. Cath- erine Reinburg, about 6:30 am. Dr. Melville Fischer, 1801 I street, who was summoned by Mrs. Reinburg, examined the body and called Deputy Coroner Christopher J. Murphy, who issued a certificate of suicide. Had Been IIL Mrs. Martin, who was formerly so- clety editor of the Washington Post, had been in ‘“very ill health for some time,” according to her mother. Only 10 days ago she returned from Florida, where she had spent the Winter in an effort to regain her health. She had suffered from a nervous disorder, which had caused her considerable worry, Mrs. Reinburg said. A widow, Mrs. Martin had been well known in Washington society for years. After leaving the Post six years ago, Mrs, Martin had occupied herself as an interior decorator, becoming unusually successful, according to friends. Shortly before her death, she had started work on a book, presumably covering her ex- periences as society editor, during the Harding and Coolidge administrations. Maintained Apartment Abroad. For several years after leaving the Post, she lived abroad, maintaining an apartment in Paris and visiting her first cousin, George Reinburg, military at- tache at Berlin.

TAX AND DUTY MAY BAR IMPORTATION OF BEER Federal Charge on Brew From Abroad Will Amount to $36 Per Barrel. By the Associated Press. Beer can be shipped into the United States from foreign countries—but the prohibitive tax is expected to keep the flow to a trickle.

Th i r Basis Held False. “The basis upon which such control is asked, ‘that of over-production,’ is false and the announced aims, stabilization and prevention of waste, are hypocriti- cal in the extreme.” Jones said the industry needed noth- ing more than rigid enforcement of the anti-trust laws. Elliott's delegation planned to carry its Zght to the White House today, by pre- senting its case to President Roosevelt at a private conference. The President has been keeping in close touch with proceedings at the oil meetings. Political Move Seen. Political significance attaches to the move by this group, since Elliott played an important role in the Roosevelt election. Long associate and intimate of Senator McAdoo, he conducted the campaign which carried California for Garner, acted as chiet strategist for McAdoo at the Chicago convention and managed the Roosevelt-McAdoo battle in California after Roosevelt and Gar- ner were nominated. He was to act as spokesman for his independent asso- clates before the President today. ‘The Elliott group, all of whom were to accompany their chairman to the White House, includes a score of the largest independent producers and re- finers of California, Oklahoms and Texas. They state that they represent actual production of 200,000 barrels of ofl daily and a potential production of more than a million barrels.

Postal clerks today were told to greet patrons with a smile, in instructions sent out by Postmaster General Farley. “Complaints are occasionally made to the department of discourtesy on the part of window clerks,” the Postmaster General said. “While it is realized that there are few who offend in this ticular, it will be helpful to rem! 11 employes assigned to window duty that they are expected to serve the public not only promptly and efficiently but with unvarying patience, cheerfulness and courtesy.” ASKS RENO DIVORCE Mrs. Suzanne Chase Smith Filed Suit Yesterday.

RAIL CONFERENCE GALL IS PLANNED President May Act Saturday to Bring Operators, Labor, Shippers Together. By the Assoclated Press. President Roosevelt plans to call a conference — probably Saturday — of rallroad operators, labor and shippers, 10 go over his program for the rehabil- ::nnon of the country's rail transporta- on, ‘The plan, whipped into shape after extensive conferences, went to the President yesterday. It includes a groponl for & Federal co-ordinator with extraordinary power to supervise reol izations, and also les repeal of the recapture clause of the transportation act and Federal regulation of holding companies, two items that have been incoporated in pending in the House. Fixed Charges Reduction. Readjustment of top-heavy financial structures through appropriate reduc- tion of fixed charges is one of the ob- Jectives of the program, while the co- ordinator also would be given author- ity to suggest and recommend consol- idations in the interest of effciency and economy. Another proposal that has been ¥r=ued vigorously in the days of con- erences here over emergency railroad legislation would have pooled the inter- | ests of the roads for the elimination of | milage and operating costs. This, how- ever, has been side tracked. The measure that went to President Roosevelt's desk yesterday emanated from a conference of experts headed by Secretary of Commerce Roper and in- cluding Joseph B. Eastman, & member of the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion, and W. W. Splawn, rail authority. ‘They have consulted frequently and at considerable length in secret hearings with the rallroad executives and others interested in the problem. Executives to Meet. ‘The Rallway Labor Executive Asso- ciation assembles here tomorrow to consider the legislation. Power is given by the legislation for the President to name the proposed co- ordinator. Several names have been heard in the discussion, including East- man and Carl Gray, president of the Union Pacific. Othr legislation not regarded as of an emergency character, including reg- ulation of motor trucks and busses, will be left for separate attention, possibly in the regular session convening next January. One of the things the President has in mind is a unification of the railroad system. Consequently the co-ordinator, it 1s understood, would be given broad {»wer to abolish competition where raffic is insufficient but with due regard for protectdon against monopolies.

Iur the Rice Millers' Association, ap- proved the measure, but warned it would have to be carefully administered to_prevent injustices. Representative Hart, Republican, of Michigan, proposed & form of the ex- port debenture plan, with a proviso that import debentures be granted to offset it, along with tariff revision to stimulate trade exchange. “If we have any more farm market- mg{ acts we'll be sunk,” Hart said. e approved the Smith cotton auction pool plan to aid that commodity, but ex- pressed opposition to the Roosevelt bill as a whole. L. J. Taber, master of the National Grange, told the committee his organte zation favored the export debsnture plan of farm relief and had for many years. The Grange, he said, favored the Roosevelt bill, adding: “And we hope it will be enacted at the earliest prac- tical date.” The homely philosophy of Christian Jensen, “a plain dirt farmer” of Putney, S. Dak, brought intermittent roars of laughter from those in the committee room s he voiced his opposition to the administration plan. essence of the Jensen plan was that farmers would be much better off if the mortgage holder foreclosed on their land. Causes Many Chuckles. Tall, but chunkily built, and with a sturdy shock of gray hair fiying as he bobbed his head for emphasis, Jensen observed as Senators chuckled heartily. “The farmers are becoming well-off for the first time in their lives—they are losing their mortgages!
