The demands included more money for unemployment relief, a cess tion of evictions and equality of trea ment among white and colored persons In the intervening six weeks, he said. relief payments have been ' redu evictions and discriminations against the colored have continued “This time,” he said. “this delegation is not going back to our people witn any more promises.

Alice Zucker Feard. Phillips was followed by Alice Zucker, Tepresentative of the Nationsl Students’ League, who demanded free education for unemployed college students and free ILunchel and. free clothing for other pupils. Upon completion_of Miss Zucker' brief address, Dr. Reichelderfer heard Charles Spencee, Tepresenting the In- ternational Labor Defense. Terming the Scottsboro case a “symbol of the op- pression of “the black race,” Spencer insisted the Board of Commissioners send a telegram to President Roosevelt asking him to intercede for the nine Scottsboro youths. ‘The parade today,” Spencer said, is the vanguard of a much larger demonstration ceming here on May to demand help for the 8cottsboro boys. When Spencer had finished, he asked Dr. Reichelderfer what report he and the other delegates could carry back to the paraders waiting outside the Dis- trict Building. In reply, the Commis- sioner pointed out relief legislation al- ready is before OCongress. “Relief—to what extent?” Spencer broke in. A “You read the papers, don't you?" Dr. Reichelderfer replied. After asking permission to Temain outside the District Building for about five minutes longer to tell the glrnden of the reception given by the Commis- sioners, Spencer and his followers filed out, followed by Maj. Brown and half » dozen or more detectives. Other Parade Called Off. The other parad: which had been planned for today, sponsored by the Social party, was called off at the | last minute. According to Robert Sho- steck, who was in charge, the Socialists had made arrangements to terminate | their parade with & meeting at Typo- graphical Temple.

FIVE PLANTS ARE BOMBED. Chicago Radicals Rounded Up In $150,000 Explosions. CHICAGO, May 1 (#).—Five bombs of terrific force, fired almost simul- taneously, blasted in the 1933 May day five huge industrial establishments in or near the Loop. Police set out to round up every known Communist, direct actionist and anarchist in the city. They arrested five youths within a few hours. The bombs roared as if by prear- rangement, shortly after 2:30 am. damage was estimated at $150,000. Thousands of windows were shattered and guests in downtown hotels were startied from their beds. Plate glass windows were shattered as ar us five blocks from the bullding of the Illinois Bell Telephone Co., where the most damage, estimated at $50,000, was caused. City officials generally believed radi- cals st off the bombs, but Lieut. Mike Mills, investigator of radicalism for the Police Department, was not of that belief. “From my close contact with radi- cal: he said, “I do not believe they were responsible. 1 belicve there was another motive.” Officials of the Sprague, Warner Gro- cery Co., also damaged, said they be- lieved organizations protesting the food supplied by the firm for unemployment relief might have been responsible. Authorities also considered reports of underworld warfare over control of Iabor unions as & possible cause. One of the other places damaged was the Willett Bus & Teaming Co., where hun- dreds of teamsters are employed. The other two establishments dam- aged were the Hibbard-Spencer-Bartlett Hardware Co. and the Stratford Build- ing. three floors of which are occupied by shops of Marshall Field & Co. as a factory.

At least & million persons, including between 35,000 and 50,000 troops of the Moscow garrison, participated in the tumultuous but well ordered demonstra- n. Conspicuous by their absence from the diplomatic section of the reviewing stands were the official British repre- sentatives, none of whom attended be- cause of the strained relations between the two countries, resulting from the Metropolitan-Vickers sabotage case. : a score of gigantic tanks, me:hlf gray and mounting | 3-inch guns, provided something new for foreign spectators, who never had seen tanks so powerful in previous demonstrations. After the military exhibition thou- sands of workers and peasants poured |into the square from three streets, fc. .ing 8 solid, seething mass of hu- manity, filling the whole square as they marched slowly through, singing, yell- cheering and waving endless ban- effigies and signs chronicling the | progress of socialist construction. BERLIN CLAMORS FOR HITLER. Thousands Cheer Chancellor and Von Hindenburg, BERLIN, May 1 (®.—Thousands of | Berlin youths clamored so loudly for | Chancellor Adolf Hitler that he made an unscheduled appearance before them today in the first big Nationalist May ' | day celebration. Chief honors in the youth demonstra- | tion in the Lustgarten were planned for President von Hindenburg, who delivered the principal addiess. The Chancellor did not intend to speak until the dem- onstration at Templehof Airdrome to- night. He limited himself to proposing three cheers for the President. “You sre the future of the German nation,” the venerable President tol thousands of youngsters as he mally opened the “day of national lahor.” | " “In order to make this example per- fect, you must learn obedience,” Hindenburg continued. “He who has learned to obey can some day issue | orders.

When we all stand together with courage and taith God will help us The impressive silence with which the thousands heard the president: four-minute speech was broken. thun- derlike, when the field marshal called for three cheers for Germany, “our déar Fatherland.” Thunderous peals rolled through the Lustgarten as the crowd thrice returned his “hurrah.” First aid workers were kept busy carrying faint children off the vast square. Because of the great size of | Berlin, children from the outlying is- | tricts had started marching to the Lust- garten at 6:30 am., meaning they had | arisen about 5:30 am. | The ceremonies were over at 10 am and the children remained on foot al- most continuously. Later a score of veteran laborers flom all parts of the Reich. here as the guests of the government, spoke briefly on labor conditions in localities. All states, as well as parts f Germany lost under the Versailles treaty, were represented. Conciding with German citles, a Visit of 50 naval units to Swinemuende. including three bat- tleships and two cruisers, stimulated interest in Germany's future on water. Police Showered With Glass.

Yale Professor Points Out| Advantage to Roesevelt in Foreign Dealings. —_— By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 1.—If the Presi- | dent is empowered by law to devaluate | the dollar up to 50 per cent, as pro- | vided in the administration’s inflation bill, America’s position in any economic | conference will be much stronger thl‘ that of the British, in the opinion of James Harvey Rogers, sterling profes- | sor of politigal economy at Yale. | Interviewed on scme of the inter- national monetary problems which face the country, Prof. Rogers pointed out that to the extent that the dollar might be devalued, the British hold- ings of American exchange in the stabilization fund would decline in value. Thus the stabilization fund of Great | Britain is in no sense a bargaining weapon, which she can use effectively in an economic conference providing the gold devaluation clause of the in- flation measure is retained, said Prof. Rogers. | 0 reduce the international value | of the pound” e explained, “the stabilization fuid must be largely in- | vested in foreign currencies—dollar: French fiancs, Swiss francs, etc. Should a disagreement arise in the world economic conference as to the Telative rates at which the pound and the dollar would be stabilized and !)()Uld the British threaten to use the stabilization fund to keep the pound at an advantage with respect to the dollar, the American delegation could reply that in case this were dome, a | devaluation of the gold content to the dOR:fl' hwou]d be resorted to.” At the same time it should lin mind, Prof. Rogers mm'fd."‘lmi any considerable devaluation of the dollar thrcugh reduction in its gold content would throw off of the gold (S];lnxrllflrd all countries still remaining The United States would great magnet, he expllined,hmn: gold from all parts of the world. These drains, he added, in the absence of almost prohibitive import restrictions, ‘\\uuld lead to forced devaluation in suclhzuunmes. “The gold attractin; wer of any country “devaluating it money . wnis was clearly brought out after the franc was stabilized at 3.92 in December, |1926." Prof. Rogers stated. “In fact. much of the huge gold holdings of France are to be accounted for by the rate chosen at that time.” MAY DRILL IN PARK Western Hig}l Cadets Given Tel'-i mission in Montrose by Col.
