HITLER CAUTIONS TROOPS ABOUT WAR fTelis 110,000 Soldiers Ger- b many Seeks No New Laur- els on Battlefield. By the Associated Press. NURNBERG, Germany, September 4. —Hundreds of thousands of Chancellor | Hitler's Nazis resumed their tasks of Tebuilding the National Socialist Reich today after five days of convention ac- tivities designed to teach them how to do_those jobs better. From Hitler they learned their duty was to educate every_German to be & citizen of the Nazi state, that they must | have one will and discipline, and that the world “must not think we have the -slightest wish to win added laurels on the battlefield.” The last injunction was given to 110,000 picked storm troopers and 250,- 000 spectators after a four-hour parade that demonstrated how well the troop- ers had been drilled “No war could bring us greater honor | than we gained in the World War, when we held out four and a half years| against the entire world” said the chancellor. | “Our only dishonor came at home, #nd that has now been wiped out.” In a later speech Hitler said Nazi- 3sm was “fulfilling a truly European mission” by fighting bolshevism in Ger- many. i “Common admir all is impossible the democratic all contributed equal | It follows that the state cannot be ad- ministered by all. as democracy claims. | “The people rebel against leadership | only if it is poor leadership.

BY PAUL MALLON. ‘ ‘ HE backstage events leading up to the Cates resignation from the N. R. A. disclose the whole inner picture of that organiza- tion. It is & one-man show. Anyone who disagrees with Gen. Johnson does uot | belong. no matter how big a job he has. The general takes some advice from the Laborites. Donald Richberg and Leo Wolman., No one else counts. Dudley Cates mever actually be- longed. He had the high sounding title of assistant administrator, but early in the game Johnson put him on thd shelf. ‘That arrangement would have con- tinued indefinftely had Cates not seribbled critical memos continuously to the general. These notes took so much of the general's time that the resiguation was mutually agreed on to save them both the trouble of arguing indefinitely. Disciples of Barney Baruch. Cates was one of the original Moline plow boys. They took that company out of the red and made something of it years ago. They are just about run- ning Washington now—Pesk in the farm control; Johnson in N. R. A. Brown in the Budget Bureau—all dis- ! ciples of Bernard Baruch. Johnson broke first with his friend Cates on the blanket high-wage dfive. Cates walked into a confidential council one day and announced his Division Committee voted unanimously sgainst continuing the blanket -effort. Johnson raised his eyebrows, but tried to forget about the matter. Cates would not let him. He advo- cated abandonment of that drive so often that Johnson became annoyed. AOTES FROM Their former close personal relation- ship woud have prevented an open break except that Cates staged the same inside campaign agaiust the labor unionization theory. Didn't Want the Advice. That was not the kind of advice Johnson wanted, so he switched Cates to another kind of work. He tried his friend out on handling individual codes. The lumber code was the first. Johnson's friends whisper that he shot the lumber code back to Cates six times for revision before he got what he wanted. . It was about that time Johnson started talking publicly about getting “some high-class new men” in his outfit. Johnson runs his outfit like an army. Occasionally there are coun- cils of war. The discussions are fairly free. When every man has had his say, Johnson makes the de- cisions. Disagreements are not per- mitted after that Each man is ex- pected to follow orders without a murmur, Anything else is consid- ered treason. ‘That feeling has become the essence of the N. R. A. > Sometimes it is carried to extrémes. For a time, at least, every N. R. A. em- ploye who talked to & newspaper man was required to file a confidential re- port, nanvng the news man. Whatever the news man wrote next day was blamed on the employe he interviewed. The purpose was to frighten employes into letting Johnson do all the talk- ing. It did. N. R. A. Has 1067 Employes. When the N. R. A. was formed, they said 165 employes would be enough. The other day they had 1.067. The reorganization is being under- taken with the long-range view of let- ing Commerce Secretary Roper handle the outfit when Jolnson gets through. Assistant Secretary Dickinson probably will do the work. He knows all about it. The Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce is being jockeyed around so it can handle the N. R. A. routine. That is Hoover's beloved old bureau. -~ ® WTie N\ However, the accent now is on do- mestic. The foreign angle of the bureau re- cently was turned over to the State Department. The step caused a loud inner howl. Any one who has ever traveled abroad wall tell you the bureau attaches are the people to deal with, not the State Department representatives. Most at- taches are young and business-minded men. Putting them under the State Department means they will have to push cookies and drink pink tea, The social aspects will be more infldential an business. A new cooling system is being in- stalled in the Treasury rooms where clerks work op the public debt. The installation was ordered direct- They decided that grappling with the increasing public debt would bring perspiratiop even in Winter. The N. R. A interview reporting system is supposed to have been modi- fied recently, but shreds of it remain. The resignation of Cates will have no influence on N. R. A. policy. Such things only make Gen. Johnson more determined. The coming resignation of John Hancock as executive officer has no in- ner significance. Hancock came for only 30 days and has remained 60. The stature of Richberg in the N. R A. can be measured by the fact he gets $12500 while the others (in- cluding Johnson) get $6.000. (Copyright. 1933.)

STEWARD ASSAILS ECONOMY ACT, RAPS GREEN AT MEETING _(Continued From First Page) certain prominent newspapers and s number of socially obtuse industrialists mouthed on every possible occasion the patter about hundreds of thousands of useless, supernumerary employes, over- paid, underworked, all receiving 30 days annual and 30 days sick leave each year, with innumerable holidays: in addition, that hundreds of millions of dollars each year could be saved by the abolition of useless bureaus and commissions and overlapping func- tions.” ‘The result of that was, he added, that “balance the budget was the «ry on every hand by countless numoers of people who had not the remotest idea how the expenses of the Federal Gov- ernment were apportioned. but were completely carried away with the idea that if the overpaid employes were cut and hundreds of thousands were re- moved from the pay roll, and the un- named and unidentified useless bureaus and over-lapping and duplicated func- tions were eliminated. the Government would go on as usual.

When the so-called economy legislation began to be framed, the speaker said, “it was done in secret largely by men who could be depended upon to be hard- boiled and impervious to ideas.” Hear- ings, Steward .amplified. either were denied those who opposed the retrench- ment measures, or were given with the plain implication that the testimony would be unheeded. Flowing from these hardships—dis- missals, W cuts ranging above 50 per cent. excessive overtime work with- out compensation, lengthening of hours —he told the delegates have come “mental and physical break-downs, premature deaths and suicides.” However, the union head predicted, this present phase is only transitory and “out of the turmoil of injustice, discrimination and general confusion will develop a better Federal service.” Steward discussed proposed legislation to ald workers only briefly, this subject being due for atment in the huge volume of resolutions which today go to various committees to be whipped into final shape before coming to the floor. He explained that the general situa- tion has been a barrier to any improve= ment in the condition of the workers, but that it was intended to push for legislation to classify field employes and for standardizing sick and annual leave, emphasizing in this connection that “the inconsistencies and injustices of the present leave situation are ap- parent.” There also is need for lberalization of retirement legislation, he said, char- acterizing compulsory retirement at ate tained age as “unduly harsh, restrictive and out of harmony with the Federal retirement system,” and adding that the federation should seek repeal of this provision. Will Recommend Change. Steward also recommended that the organization renew its efforts to have deputy collectors of internal revenue —now patronage positions—placed un- der civil service. He also favored plac- ing naval planners and estimators un- der classification, explaining that the shift of this group from the annual basis to the category of employes whose pay is adjusted by wage boards had caused them to take a cut and that lefforts to rectify this situation had failed. Steward promised also that when Congress convenes an effort will be made to get reimbursement for em- ployes in navy yards and arsenals to whom leave they had earned on July 1, 1932, when the leave privilege was_suspended, was denied. A move of this sort failed in District Supreme Court. Relief for War and Navy work- ers put-on a short week with corre- sponding pay cut is also being sought, he said. Steward’s assault on President Green of the Federation of Labor came in the course of a recital of the history of the secession from that group by the Federation of Federal Employes, which took place since the last convention of the latter, as the result of differ- ences over classification. He accused Green of attempting to destroy the Federation of Federal Em- ployes and assailed the American Fed- eration of Government EmgléPes as a “rump” organization. Referring, inferentially, to pending resolutions for reaffiliation, Steward said this would only be possible if the Federation of Federal Employes gave up its identity and went into the other group om the latter's own terms. The report of Miss Gertrude Mc- Nally, secretary-treasurer, which also was submitted today, put the federa- tion membership at approximately 50.000 in every Government branch but the postal service. This report showed that in the past two years the federation has added 85 new locals and that 23 more have been “revived” and reinstated. — NEW LUMBER BOOKINGS LOWEST SINCE APRIL By the Associated Press.
