G. 0. P. PREPARING FOR 1964 1SSUES Tariff, Money, Nationalism and Treatment of Vet- erans Cited. } Forum Speaker __(Continued From First Page) with seeking to break down the efforts | of the administration to bring the! country back to better business and em- | ployment. They will give the admin- | istration all the rope it wants. Il ‘The Republicans, and they admit it, are as anxious to have business recov- ery in the United States as any Demo- | crat. In a measure this desire, and a knowledge that the country would tolerate no other position, is cramping the style of the Republicans somewhat up to date in getting ready for the coming campaign. But the G. O. P., Senator McNary | pointed out yesterday, has always been | the party of the business man, the! laborer and the farmer. It is the job | of the Republican leadership to unite again under the Republican banner the West, the Middle West and the East. He looks to the tariff as a real issue in the coming campaign, and also to! sound money, the treatment of the, veterans by the administration under the economy act, and to the “national- ism” of the Republican party, for which it has had a reputation for many years. The view of many Republican lead- ers is that the party cannot afford to| and will not be reactionary. On the other hand, the Democrats have gone ! so far in certain directions, looking to | the management of business, agricul-| ture and labor, they say, the Repub- | licans look for some swing back of | sentiment away from the Democrats after these new laws have been in operation. Despite the fact that the presiden- tial race is so far in the future, the talk of presidential possibilities crops , out ong the Republicans now and then. The opinion expressed by Re- publicans who were very friendly to| former President Hoover, as well as by some who were not friendly at all, is| that Mr. Hoover is not likely to figure in the picture. Purthermore, some of his friends insist that he himself has! no idea of becoming a candidate for! renomination. But that is something that time and conditions and the people | themselves will determine finally. Mills Likewise Out. It Mr. Hoover is out of the presi- dential picture, then, it is argued, many of the men who were most close- | ly identified with his administration are likely also to be out of the running, including Ogden Mills of New York, former Secretary of the Treasury, and Patrick J. Hurley of Oklahoma, former Secretary of War. While Representa- tive James W. Wadsworth of New | York, former Senator, has many friends and supporters, the same people who reckon Mr. Hoover and Mr. Mills out of the running are inclined to be- lieve that Mr. Wadsworth is not to be a real contender for the nomi- nation in 1936. Mr. Wadsworth ‘was prominently identified for yeuars with the anti-prohibition cause. His early pronouncement against the re- tention of the eighteenth amendment ‘was the cause of his defeat for re-elec- tion to the Senate in 1926, for the Re- publican ultra-drys in New York would | not_stand for him. The expectation of the Republicans is that national prohibition as an issue will be eliminated before the congres- sional campaign begins, and that it will be out of the way long before the presi- dential race comes on. They are not sorry that this is likeiy to be the situa- tion. Prohibition played havoc with the G. O. P. in the past campaigns in a number of States, notably in the big in- | dustrial States of the East and in Illi- nois. While there were wet and dry Democrats, the great mass of Demo- cratic voters outside the “solid South” ‘were wet, and except in the year 1928, the Democrats in the South have always remained in the party fold, no matter ‘whether the candidate for President was wet or dry. The Republicans may look to the Middle West or to the West for their next standard-bearer. Indeed, it would be rather a logical thing for the nomi- nation to go to one of the States of the Middle Western tier which includes In- diana, Illinois, Ohio and Michigan, States that have been almost invariably in the Republican column, but which all went Democratic in the last election. Without these States, plus the Coast States, California, Washington and Ore- gon, in combination with the Eastern and Northern States, the Republicans | can scarcely win national elections. Vandenberg Mentioned. ‘The congressional campaign may ‘bring forth a new Republican standard- bearer for 1936, or give added gl&mor to & Republican already in office. The Republican leader of the Senate, Mc- Nary, is a potential presidential possi- bility. Among the younger men in the Senate on the Republican side of the chamber is Senator Arthur H. Vanden- berg. Vandenberg was & strong spon- sor of the immediate guaranty of bank deposits up to a limit of $2,500. His proposal, in a modified form, was writ- ten into the new banking bill, and be- comes effective January 1, unless sooner ordered by the President. If this bank deposit proposal proves successful in operation, Vandenberg’s name will come more and more prominently into the picture. Most of the old Republican war horses were victims of the Democratic victory last year. Watson of Indiana, Curtis of Kansas, Smoot of Utah, Moses of New Hampshire, and literally scores of others were relegated to private life. | The Republican leaders in the Senate | and the House during the special ses-| sion of the Congress now closed, Mc- Nary on the Senate side and Snell of New York on the House side, were faced with the job of welding their forces together when some of the Republicans had openly supported President Roose- velt in the last campaign. Generally speaking the leaders have done a pretty good job. And only recently such ardent Progressive Republicans as Sen- ator La Follette of Wisconsin and Sen- ator Nye of North Dakota have begun to talk in private about the need of rebuilding the Republican party into a strong and dominant organization. La Follette was one of those who followed Roosevelt in 1932. The Republican Progressives to a man broke with the President in the dispute over veterans’ compensation at the wind-up of the session of Congress. How much longer the President will be able to count on the support of La Follette, Johnson of California, Cutting of New Mexico and Norris of Nebraska remains to be seen. Norris, who sponsored the Roosevelt boom in the early days of 1931, is likely to cling to the administration longer than the rest. The very fact, however, that men like La Follette and Nye are talking about reviving the G. O. P. is!| particularly significant. ‘The Republican National Committee, under the leadership of Everett Sanders of Indiana, is beginni to function again, with regional conferences. The Congressional Campaign Committee, headed by Chester C. Bolton of Ohio, is quietly active and making prepara- tions for breaking into active political warfare in a few months. So far no new chairman of the Republican Sena- torial Committee has been named and Senator Hatfleld of West Virginia is holding on to that office. As both he and Senator Hebert of Rhode Island, the vice chairman, are up for re-elec- tion themselves next year, it is ex- pected that the chairmanship will go to_some other Republican Senator. ‘The national headquarters have been operating with a skeletonized force. However, there is talk that before long an active publicity campaign may be undertaken, with the Republicans out- lining the them.

MKELLAR FORUM SPEAKER TUESDAY “What Uncle Sam Is Doing| for His People” Will Be Senator’s Topic. “What Uncle S8am Is Doing for His People,” will be the subject of an ad- dress to be delivered by Senator Ken- neth D. McKellar of Tennessee in the National Radio Forum Tuesday. July 4, The National Radio Forum is arranged by The Washington Star and broadcast over the network of the National Broad- casting Co. Senator McKellar has had an im-| portant part in legislation for the | resent set up of Government oper- and for many previous Congresses. In his address July 4 he will discuss the steps which are being taken to hel Americans back to nrosperlty. He wi also discuss what his people should do to aid Uncle Sam—the Government— in the movement back to better busi- ness and employment. e SR . AGENCES AP DISHISSAL PLANS “Weeding Out” of 3,000 .Workers Here Will Be Con- tinued Tomorrow. ‘The “weeding out” process which is taking the jobs of more than 3,000 Government workers in the Capital will be continued tomorrow, and before the end of the week the personnel retrench- ment program in the old-established agencies is expected to be pretty well shaped up, although the separations in prospect are not to be concluded before the 15th. The departments and independent offices know in general what they are going to do, but have not gotten down to_details. ‘War, Navy, Labor, Justice and State, which are accounting for about 1,000 of the dismissals, aiready have this hase of their retrenchment programs ined up, but more is to be done in Commerce _Agriculture, Interior and ‘Treasury, where cuts already have been made, although in the case of the last named there are few in sight other than those already decreed in Public Health, Internal Revenue and Coast Guard. Notices Go Out Tomorrow. At Commerce, it was said yesterday, separation notices would go out gen- erally through the department tomor- row, although there was no estimate as to what these would amount to. Here, there already have been vigorous slashes in the ranks of the married and 30-year workers and in the Bureaus of Foreign and Domestic Commerce and Stand- ards. The departments, too, must fix their furlough scales, although with the single exception of the Post Office, where one figure will apply to all, they are using various periods in an effort to keep within appropriations. The Post Office Department expects to announce the extent of its furloughs in the next few days, and this time also is expected to see the programs of at least Interior and Agriculture formulated. Among the principal independent offices no decision has yet been reached by the Power Commission as to savings that will be necessary, and the Civil Service Commission furloughs are still to be settled. Get 15-Day Leaves. In connection with the separations, it was disclosed that at least one office— Internal Revenue—where 500 in the field and 100 locally, are losing out, is seeing that its workers get full ad- vantage of the 15-day leave privilege restored on April 1. Under a ruling| by Controller @eneral McCarl, the leave | Arice would amount to 11% days this year, based on 1Y%, days allowance for the nine months, April-December, and em- ployes being dropped at the bureau are being held on the l?:g roll, but on leave, until they have due them. This action is optional with any establishment, as the controller general has held that leave is a privilege and not a right. Meanwhile employes los!ng their jobs in the classified groups are with the return of President Roosevelt there may be some move made that will aid them in obtaining employment in the new emergency agencies being set up.

C., JULY 2, 1933—PART O DENY HITLER HAS ABANDONED FAITH {Wolff’s Agency Publishes Offi- cial Statement Branding Report a Lie. | By the Associated Press. BERLIN, July 1.—Wolff's (German) Agency tonight published an official denying that Chancellor tional Protestant Chprch, after aban- doning his Roman Catholic faith. Previously Rev. Ludwig Mueller, Nazi church leader, announced that the chancellor expected to join the church as soon as reorganization of Proteci- antism in the Reich had been completed. He added that the head of the Nazi movement will urge German Catholics to affiliate with the new church. ‘The Wolff's announcement read: “In the entire world reports have been circulated that Chancelior Hitler has joined the Evangelical Church. These are a fantasy and lies. Hitler be- longs now, as previously, to the Cath- olic Church, and has no intention of leaving it.” News Spreads Rapidly. ‘The announcement by Mueller spread rapidly through German church cir- cles, and Protestant authorities won- dered if the head of the government, in embracing Protestantism, would also claim the title of sumus episcopus— head bishop—which was formerly borne by the kaisers. The revelation of this highly impor- tant change came after President Hin- denburg, a strong Evangelical church- man, had appealed to Chancellor Hit- ler to compose the difference between the government and the Protestant church groups. In Protestant circles it was gener- ally believed the chancellor’s transfer from the Catholic communion to the Evangelical fold would be signalized as a dramatic feature of the nation- wide celebration of Martin Luther's 415th birthday anniversary October 10. Chancellor Hitler suggested a year ago to Mr. Mueller, it was said on ex- cellent authority, that he join the it comm , but the Nazi church organizer advised against the change, sugesting that since Protest- anism was not united under one head, Hitler might cause offense by showing a preference for it. Actions Arouse Interest. Several recent incidents in Hitler's career had aroused special interest in the religious classification of the chan- cellor, who is listed in the Reichstag handbook as a Catholic. ‘The Nazi chief created a sensation February 5 when he attended a state funeral of storm troopers and police at a Protestant cathedral On March 21 he failed to attend Catholic_services celebrating the “Day of Potsdam. when members of the cabinet and Reichstag, as well us President von Hindenburg, attended services at_either Protestant or Cath- olic churches. Instead of attending services the chancellor placed wreaths on_the graves of storm troopers. Rev. Mueller, who made the star- tling announcement, was the losing candidate in the recent election of Dr. Friedrich von Bodelschwingh to the new office of Protestant Bishop of the Reich. This choice has been and con- tinues to be strenuously contested Mr. Mueller, who declared that Dr. Bodeischwingh would not be accepted by the head of the government. PRELATES NOT SURPRISED. Church Officials Have Been Inclined to Regard Hitler as Agnostic. VATICAN CITY, July 1 (#)—Prel- ates of the Catholic Church were not particularly surprised at the news of Chancellor Hitler's “l‘nwnél\oel; }1:7 lh'g; don Catholicism, since ave .sg:ze t?me been inclined to regard him as_agnostic. The proposed change, churchmen said, nsepd scarcely be attributed to an excess of religious fervor, but rather to litical expediency. pon the German chancellor embraces Protestantism it will not assist Vice Chancellor Von Papen, who is now in Rome, in his efforts to negotiate a con- cordat with the Vatican for the whole of the Reich, prelates indicated. Col. Von Papen had another long conversation—probably s final one— with Cardinal Pacelli, papal secretary of state, in the Vatican today, and it was believed that the German chan- cellor's attitude toward the church of the Reich was discussed. e WASHINGTON LACKS A ROUND 5,000 OF 500,000 POPULATION —__(Continued From First Page) 1,131 over the Federal census on April 1 of that year.

Completion of the first leg of the flight of the Italian air armada from Ortebello to Chicago, a new speed rec- ord for transcontinental fight in this country and thrills for thousands of spectators at air races in Los Angeles and Chicago were achievements of air- men yesterday. The Italian fiyers beund for the ‘World Fair City in s history-making group flight afforded an impressive sight as their 25 seaplanes descended at Am- sterdam, to recelve a cordial welcome from Dutch authorities. One ship cap- sized, however, to mar the perfect ex- {ecution of the fivgt leg of the fight, with a fatality in the death of one non- commissioned officer and injuries to three others of the crew. Jurner Breaks Record. Col. Roscoe Turner, transcontinental speed king of America, sped across the country from New York to Los Angeles to break his own record of 12 hours 33 minutes for the East-West flight and win first prize money of $5,050 for the cross-continent air speed race. He flew the approximately 2,500 miles in 11 jhours and 30 minutes. His feat was a feature of the National Air Races at Los Angeles, in which a number of well known pilots qualified A‘Tii hstunt pilots displayed their spe- clalties. Races Open At Chicago. At Chicago the American Air Races opened a four-day program in which 21 Army pursuit planes from Selfridge Field, Mich., joined to provide thrills.

Averages Better Than 219 Miles an Hour in Race. MUNICIPAL AIRPORT, Los Angeles, July 1 (#).—Rocketing westward from New York to set a new transcontinental speed record from the Atlantic to the Pacific, Col. Roscoe Turner, veteran racing pilot of Hollywood, won the cross-country dash of the National Afir Races today with a time of 11 hours 30 minutes. Half an hour behind him came Jim- mie Wedell, the New Orleans plane de- si]sa::r and speed pilot, to take second Pl ‘Turner's flight broke his own record by 1 hour 3 minutes and Wedell was 23 minutes ahead of the mark the Pacific Coast pilot set last Fall. Amelia Earhart Forced Out. In the wake of these two were four other fiyers, one the transatlantic pilot, Amelia Earhart, all forced out of the grueling race. One, Russell Boardman, holder of the American long-distance Fork to Totanvul. 1y in i Indanapois or] ul, lay in an hospital, critically injured by the crash of his ship. The other two, Lee Gehlbach and Russell Thaw, were forced out early in the race. Thaw broke a wing tip in landing at Indianapolis and & faulty gasoline line put Gehlbach out in an emergency landing near New Bethel, Ind., ieaving only Turner and Wedell to finish. ‘Turner, fighting strong head winds all across the continent, brought his golden racer across the finish line here at 12:29 pm. (Pacific standard time), after taking off from New York at 12:59 am. He averaged slightly better than 219 miles per hour, flying his fast- est lap between Wichita and Albu- querque, where he averaged 261 miles per hour for the 640 miles.

Officials of the races were thrown into confusion over the exact times made by Turner and Wedell after | two conflicting reports had been handed to_them. official word from National Aeronautic Association timers at New York on the take-off times of the two fllers, air-race headquarters was in- formed that Turner left variously at 12:49 am. (Pacific standard time) and 12:59 a.m. (Pacific standard time). If he left at 12:49 am., his record would be 11 hours 40 minutes, or if he left at 12:59 a.m., he made the cross-coun- try dash in 11 hours 30 minutes. ‘Wedell was variously reported out of New York at 1:45 am. and 1:47 am,, making his time either 12 hours flat or 11 hours 58 minutes. The fliers themselves were not sure of the exact times of their departures. Victory brought $2,250 to Wedell. The Contest Committee of the races had not decided what would be done with the remaining prize money, $1,700. HAGUE WINS EVENT. Whips Around Pylons at 164 an Hour.

TALIANS BEGIN LONDONDERRY HOP 24 Planes Leave Amsterdam After First Landing Fatality. AMSTERDAM, July 2 (Sunday), (®). —The Italian air armada of 24 sea planes led by Gen. Balbo, minister of aviation, took off at 7:30 a.m., Amster- dam time (1:10 am. Eastern Standard time), on the second leg jof their flight from Italy to Chicago. The arrival here yesterday of the ar- mada was marked by tragedy when one of the ships capsized on striking the water, resulting in the death of Sergt. Quintavelle and the injury of three other members of the crew. Gen. Balbo, the youthful bearded leader of the squadron, and his com panions were much disturbed at the lossof life. Shortly after midnight, however, he talked with attaches of the Meteoro- logical Institute of Holland and then ordered the pilots to be ready to leave their hotel at 5 am. (11 p.m. Eastern standard time Saturday) for London- derry, Ireland, 40 minutes later. Given Warm Welcome. ‘The Italian squadron made a spec- tacular arrival here and received a warm welcome. The plane of which Sergt. Quintavalle was engineer turned over as it alighted and the sergeant was suffocated. The tragedy was for a while officially denied. ‘The commander of the ill-fated craft, Flight Lieut. Baldini, was stated to be | suffering from concussion; Flying Of- ficer Novelll, second in command, had a broken arm and leg, while another member suffered a fractured jaw and broken shoulder bone. Only one mem- ber of the crew was unhurt. The descent of the Italian armada at Amsterdam was a brilliant spectacle ending the initial flight from Orbetello and over the Alps. Describing the journey over the mountains, the general said: “The flight over the Alps was dif- ficult. We flew at a height of between 11,000 and 13,000 feet. “After crossing the mountains we encountered dense fog and had to fly by compass, but after passing Basel the weather again was excellent.” Six black machines flying in forma- tion of threes led the way, followed successfully by three other groups of six marked with redt.h(.hen lwhltg. then een, making up the colors of the talian flag. The twenty-fifth plane, a reserve ship, drew up the rear. Sixty Dutch seaplanes formed an es- cort for the Italians as they dipped down into the harbor here. Gen. Balbo himself made the first landing and within 20 minutes the en- tire group had descended. SUCCESS ELATES ROME.

B, but word sped ahead of him for some of his official family to journey to An- napolis on Monday. | Secretary Ickes of the Interior De- | partment, chairman of the Board of |Cabinet Officers in charge of the $3,300,000,000 public works fund, was | w‘n;-mea those called to meet the Pres- | ident. | _Although formal official word was | lacking, it was considered probable that | the Chief Executive and his advisory | |officers would go over in some detail | |the unfolding developments in the Roosevelt recovery program since the President left the White House for his vacation cruise up the New England coast. Secretary Wallace was expected to post the President on projects of farm relief plans and the future outlook, and similar statements were expected from several other cabinet officers. Reports concerning the conference varied. Some understood it would be held at Annapolis after the President leaves the Indianapolis, but others were informed the sessions would be aboard the cruiser. Minor offitials in the Government said they considered there was no un- usual need for the meeting, except that the President wished to be advised quickly of what had taken place dur- ing his absence, thus preparing himseif to push ahead quickly with the resump- tion of his official duties.

They identified her at the hospital as the woman they had seen giving the police, a detailed de- scription of her companion, which was broadcast to all precincts. As they passed the couple on their way up the embankment, they said, they heard Miss Mahan suggest that she and her companion move farther away from the stream. A check-up by the police revealed the slu occurred on the west side of the creek. Miss Mahan’s hat and pocketbook were found beside the stream, and there were unmistable signs that a furious struggle had taken place there. The hat was torn to pieces, and the pocketbook, which had contained $1.60 when Miss Mahan left home, had been emptied of everything but a dime. Another man, picked up near the | scene, was booked for investigation at | wh | the seventh precinct, but the police | acknowledged they had no evidence he 'had any knowledge of the attack.
