NEW YORK, April 7.—George Ber- nard Shaw, Irish wit and playwright, intends to elaborate on the theme that “All Americans are blind and deaf— and dumb,” when he arrives in New York April 11, but he denied today he ever made the remark in the presence of Helen Keller. Shaw made the denial in a wireless to the Brooklyn Eagle, in response to a query from that paper. “1 shall repeat the remark at greater length on the 11th, but I never made it in the presence of my friend, Helen Keller,” his message said. Miss Keller had sald, in a published article, that her teacher conveyed the remark to her at the home of Lady Astor after Shaw had been told that she was blind and deaf and dumb. The playwright is en route here from San Prancisco on the S. S. Empress of Britain. Louderback En Route Here.

By the Assoclated Press. , April 7—Chancellor Adolf Hitler has placed the price of Germany's “rebirth” at 330 persons slain, 40,000 persons wounded and 100,000 driven from commercial life. He declared outright to an audience of cabinet members, diplomats and newspaper correspondents last night that these were the figures on the long, Incipient revolution which led to his rise to power. “The German press hitherto marched behind, but today it marches abreast of the times. No government can destroy :hp:-?l which prints the truth,” he de- controlled executive board. Nazi Christians, in the meanwhile, have acted to wipe out all traces of Jewish religion in Christian teachings and a government “culture tax” was seen today as a further move toward nationalization of the Protestant Church. What course the Hitler government will take in regard to the Catholic Church may be disclosed after a talk this week end between the Pope and Vice Chancellor Franz von Papen in Rome.

Another meeting of the subcommittee probably will be held to act on the tentative draft before it is submitted to the full committee. the last session, and retains provisions of that measure designed to curb the use of Federal reserve credit for speculative Jurposes. Several new ions are in the bill, however, in addition to the insurance feature. . It would prohibit payment of interest on demand deposits and pre- vent interlocking directorates between banks and industrial corporations.

WISV FACES LOSS OF RADIO LICENSE Ordered to Eliminate Interference With Navy's Experimental Station by May 1. ‘The Federal Radio Commission today notified Station WJSV, Alexandria, Va., that it would be denied a license to operate ‘at its present location unless interference created with the Navy's experimental radio station at Bellevue, D. C. is corrected before May 1, when the present authority expires. A few days ago the commission au- thorized Station WJSV, controlled by the Columbia Broadcasting System, to experiment with a new type of direc- tional antenna, ed to vurtall its dgll in the direction of the naval laboratory. Should these experiments, being conducted after midnight, prove successful, it is presumed that the sta- tion will be given a regular renewal of license. In connection with these experiments Columbia has detailed a group of its leading engineers to Washington, in- cluding PFrank Falknor of Station ‘WBBM, Chicago, antenna expert. Several weeks ago the Navy Depart- ment formally complained to the Radio Commission about the interference al- ly caused with its operations by Station WJSV. Hearings were held be- hind closed doors. The commission’s decision today was based on the testi- mony given by the Navy at those closed hearings. Denatured Wheat Fund Voted.

The President was asleep when the gift was left. ‘When the clock struck midnight, the rain was coming down in bucketfuls, but nevertheless a crowd had collected around the brewery plant in George- town so dense that it became practically impossible to move through it. Police detalls were on duty both inside and outside the brewery in an effort to maintain some semblance of order.
