HITLER CONVERTS ISSUE INTO LABOR FESTIVAL Machine Guns and Barbed Wire Dominate Scene in Vienna. 200 Jailed. By the Assoctated Press. May day, traditionally the occasion for radical demonstrations, was most widely celebrated today in two great dissimilar nations—in Russia, where the Communists are all-powerful, and in Germany, where the Communists are most hated. For the most part, the United States was quiet. Bombings in the heart of Chicago’s business district caused heavy damage—one estimate was $50,000—but there were no casualties. A million persons, including between 35,000 and 50,000 troops, paraded through Moscow's Red Square, where they were reviewed by the highest _offi- cials ¢ the government and of the Com- munist party from the customary re- viewing position on top of the venerated tomb of Lenin.

The Berlin celebration centered in the Lustgarten, traditionally the prop- erty of Communists on this day, where in the past there have been many bloody clashes between demonstrators &nd the police. In Madrid, police fired into the air| several times to break up a demonstra- tion by 1,000 Communists before the ministry of war. A few persons were injured. Vienna Under Guard. Vienna saw a great military show of strength by the new dictatorial Dollfuss regime. Streets were strung with ‘barbed wire and machine guns were mounted at strategic points. Some 200 persons were arrested. In Paris, extremists for the first time since the war were allowed to hold an open-air May day assembly. ‘They pledged they would confine themselves to_oral violence. In Tokio a split in the ranks of labor resulted in a double celebration, with conservatives and anti-militarist radi- cals holding separate parades.

By the Associated Press. NEW ORLEANS, May 1.—Mounted police arrested about 12 men and dis- persed a crowd of the unemployed who staged a demonstration in front of the City Hall here today. The demonstrators took up positions ‘before the City Hall and a nearby of- fice building in which C. A. Stl)r,l chairman of the State Relief Adminis- tration, maintains offices, after a march through downtown streets. Police estimated about 10,000 people joined the parade, most of them unem- ployed and some curious spectators. Leaders of the unemployed said the march was organized as a protest against $1.50 a day as the basic pay for Louis M. Sanchez Cerro (top), assas- sinated President, and Gen. Oscar Benavides, who was sworn in to fill the vacancy. PERU UNDER SIEGE WITH LEADER SLAIN President Sanchez Cerro and 3 Others Dead—Gen. Benavides Takes Oath. By the Associated Press. LIMA, Peru, May 1.—Peru was under a state of slege today as national mourning was decreed for President Luls M. Sanchez Cerro, who was as- sassinated by a revolutionary yesterday as he was accepting the plaudits of the public in an army review. Gen. Oscar Benavides assumed his duties as head of the state, having been chosen as permanent President by the Constituent Assembly. ‘Theatrical performances, movies, sports events and all kinds of public manifestations were suspended through- out the nation, and everywhere flags were at half-stafl. ‘The new President received the im- mediate support of the old ministry, every member of which agreed to re- main in cffice until the emergency has passed and the executive has had an opportunity to select a cabinet of his own. Assassin Is Slain. President Sanchez Cerro was killed by Abelardo Hurtado de Mendoza, who was immediately slain by guards. Two soldiers were killed, and six soldiers and two civilians—one of them a wom- an—injured in a riotous outbreak im- mediately after the assassination. Gen. Sanchez Cerro was slain only 16 months after he became President at Jorge Chavez Park, where he had just finished reviewing a parade of 20,000 army recruits. A message Was sent today to the eastern army, en- gaged in fighting with Colombian troops for the possession of the Leticia border strip, stating everything is normal at home. Hurtado de Mendoza, described as a revolutionary, jumped on the running board of the President’s automobile as the latter started to drive away from the park. He fired several shots into the President’s body. The President’s those given jobs by the relief organi- ation. Only one arrest occurred, as the march proceeded in orderly and sometimes joc- ular fashion, but the crowd later ignored police orders to move on after taking up positions in the vicinity of City Hall and the mounted police moved on the sidewalks. During the clash a large plate glass window collapsed under pressure of the crowd, but no one was hurt. The crowd milled wildly when a man earrying a banner reading “Unemployed of New Orleans demanding & wage for their families—all for one and one for all,” refused to move and a policeman took the standard away from him. After retreating for several blocks, the crowd sighted Rene Pourcine, chairman of the Grievance Committee of the un- employed, who had been in conference with State Chairman Stair. He was hoisted to the shoulders of the crowd and a second parade was started. Order was restored in the streets when Pourcine requested his followers to maintain quiet while he went into con- ference with Mayor T. Semmes Walms- ley in City Hall. The police allowed the demonstrators to assemble in orderly fashion in Lafayette Square, fronting on the Municipal Building. NEW YORK PLACES TAX ON RETAIL SALES TODAY W5 the Assoclated Press.

SNELL DEFIES THREAT TO FORCE BILL THROUGH “Go Get Your Rule and Jam It Down Our Throats,” He Replies to Representative Byrns. By the Assoclated Press. Democratic leaders abandoned their efforts to force a vote today in the House on the inflation amendment to the farm relief bill after failing to obtain unanimous consent for a ballot. ‘Their original plans upset by objec- tions by Representative Snell of New ‘York, the Republican leader, they turned to preparation of a rule to force a voté xpect committee of Senators and Representa- tives that will be named to harmonize differences between the measures passed by the two houses, to approve the cur- rency expansion measure and leave only the other amendments to be agreed in conference. Snell demanded that two days of de- bate be granted on the bill and that the House consider it under the five- minute rule, which would permit amend- ments. “I can't grant unanimous consent to this far-reaching proposal that changes the fundamental financial structure of the country,” Snell said. Snell Defles Byrns. Representative Byrns of Tennessee, the Democratic leader, reminded Snell that a vote on the inflation amend- mentl could be forced tomorrow under a rule. “Go get your rule and jam it down our throats,” Snell replied. Byrns said the House members were informed as to the Senate debate on the inflation proposal. “Yes, but there is a certain respon- sibility on every member of this House,” Snell sald. Byrns then sought permission of the House for the Rules Committee to have until 12 o’clock tonight to file a report on a resolution, under which the Demo- crats plan to compel the inflation vote and send the bill to conference. After several minutes of debate over Byrns' request, Snell finally agreed to it. This will force a vote on inflation in the House tomorrow. ‘The parliamentary situation was a delicate one.

BRITAIN TO DEFEND RIGHTS IN MANCHUKUO Open Door Principle Will Be Pre- served, Acting Prime Minister Baldwin Tells Commons. By the Associated Press. LONDON, May 1.— Acting Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin told the House of Commons today that Britain would take any step open to it to defend the principle of the open door in Man- churia if it became necessary to defend that principle. His statement arose from a query about whether the government's atten- tion had been called to “a declaration recently made by Tetsuzko Komal, Japanese member of the Manchukuo Privy Council, that the new Manchukuo tariff would be based on reciprocity with Japan and that Manchukuo’s trade door would not remain open to states which have withheld recognition of her status.” Mr. Baldwin said that he had' seen the press report to that effect. “The statement reported,” he con- tinued, “is obviously in complete con- tradiction with the repeated declara- tion of the Japanese government and of the present administration author- ities in Manchuria. “Preservation of the open door is pro- vided for by treaty. If it should appear that they repudiate their intention, the government will take any step open to them to defend the principle in ques- lon. “But I have no information to show that this is the case and I find it difficult to credit any such thing in view of the assurances to which I have referred.” By the Assoclated Press.

PARIS DEBATES ABILITY TO STAY ON GOLD BASIS Question of Change Raised, but Spokesmen Say Franc Will Weather Storm. By the Associated Press. LONDON, May 1.—Norman H. Davis, American Ambassador-at-large, sought today for reaction to the American proposal for an economic truce which he presented at last Saturday’s meeting of the Organizing Committee of the ‘World Economic Conference. ‘The iliness of Sir John Simon, the foreign secretary, made It necessary for one of Mr. Davis’ engagements to be broken. In Sir John's place he con- ferred with P. Stoppani, director of the financial section of Nations. Stoppani is in close touch with the ambassadors in London who preferred the American proposal to their govern- ments after Saturday’s meeting. France Approves Truce, Mr. Davis awaited official confirma- tion of word from the Ile de France, on which former Premier Eduard “Herriot of France is returning from the United States, that M. Herriot had been in- formed that Prance completely approves the truce. The comment of the Times on the tariff truce proposal was: “It stimulates hope that the World Economic Conference will not be al- lowed to drift aimlessly over the vast sea of its agenda if that can be pre- vented by energetic leadership on Mr. Roosevelt's part. “Economic armistice is a necessary preliminary to ~negotiation of the economic peace, which must be the main object of all governments par- ticipating in the conference.” Plan Declared Premature.

EMERGENCY RE RGENGY RELIEF PASSED BY SENATE District Would Share With States in $500,000,000 Fund if Bill Little Changed. ‘The Nationwide emergency relief bill, under which the Federal Government would aid the States and the District of Columbia in meeting distress due to present economic conditions, passed the Senate this afternoon with only a few minor changes from the form in which it was approved by the House. ‘The measure makes available $500,- 000,000 to be distributed to the States, Territories and the District of Colum- bia by a Federal relief administrator. Of the total fund, $250,000,000 would be allocated in p: ion to the amount spent locally by each jurisdiction. The remaining $250,000,000 would be dis- tributed where the need is greatest upon a showing by State authorities that funds from all other sources are still inadequate. Under the first portion of the bill, each jurisdiction would be entitled to receive immediately following enact- ment of the measure a grant 1 to one-third of the public money spent locally during the last three months. In the case of Washington this imme- diate grant from the Federal Govern- ‘ment would amount to between $125,000 and $150,000 and would come at & time when it is urgently needed to take care of the large number of families in need of emergency aid at this time. Senator Wagner, Democrat, of New York, steered the bill through the Sen- ate without a roll call vote. There was only a brief debate which related only to the amount of salary that should be paid the Federal relief administrator and whether the employes to administer the act should be employed from Civil Service. ‘The bill now goes back to the House, which may either accept the Senate amendments or ask for a conference. In either case, final enactment of the law is expected this week. i in- | Election Strategy Disclosed U. S. Building at Special Dispatch to The Star.
