MONARCHY DEAD, HITLER DECLARES Nazi Leader Also Says Re- publicanism Will Never Return. By the Associated Press. MUNICH, Germany, February 25.— Monarchism and republicanism are dead in Germany, says Reichsfuehrer Hitler. Der Fuehrer so told his old Nazi campaigners yesterday in an aggres- sive address commemorating the fif- teenth anniversary of the party’s foundation. ‘The speech, delivered in the huge Munich town hall and broadcast throughout the reich, marked a re- turn of Hitler's old-time fighting style of oratory and elicited uproarious cheers from his followers. Dooms Old Systems. “I prophesy again,” he shouted, “that none of the old systems will return. “We had no confidence in the ex- isting regime, but in the German peo- ple when we began our fight. Democ- racy promised to enable a majority of outstanding achivements, but job- bers and usurers directed German economy, charlatans and criminals ‘German policy. “We didn’t believe in Germany as represented before the war,” Hitler sald, turning to the monarchial system. “Bourgeois Nationals told us to cease attacking the republic and give peace. You monarchists suddenly expect the third reich’s collapse and the ap- proach of another system. But you forget the state must grow out of its people.” Sees Greater Progress. Reviewing Germany’s development under Nazi leadership, the Reichsfueh- ter exclaimed: “We destroyed parliamentarianism and democracy and the foundations of the old state. What we created in two years only forecasts what is coming. Here I announced a program 15 years ago. We have fulfilled the mission be- queathed us by our dead comrades end will continue.” “To fools who still dream of a re- stored regime,” he asserted, “I say that what once was can never be again. You will never return to power.” Of the reich’s foreign policy the Fuehrer said: “We are all for peace, but not at the price of our honor. We are ready for any kind of co-operation, but if the world does not understand, we are ready at all times to stand on our own feet.” TWO GOING TO TRIAL IN THREE SLAYINGS Pair Captured by Enraged Fosse After Unsuccessful Raid on Illinois Bank.

MILL WILL TEACH COTTON WORKERS Opens School to Train Em- ployes for Higher Places in Firm. By the Associated Press. LAGRANGE, Ga. February 25— ‘The cotton textile industry today con- tributed a new idea to the field of vocational education in the form of a mill-owned school here where work- ers may obtain the equivalent of a college education in textile engineer- ing. Founded by the Callaway Mills for the benefit of their 6.000 em;:nluyes,1 the school has no matriculation fee and the courses of instruction range from business office to spindle room sweeper, There are 20 subjects from which the students may learn the textile business. Tests Frequent. Required hours of class work vary from 90 hours for minor Jobs to 140 hours for posts requiring skilled work- ers. Examinations are a regular thing, and qualifications for a certifi- cate are similar to the requirements expected of a candidate for a degree at any institution of higher learning. A faculty of 32, composed of execu- tives selected from various depart- ments of the mills, conduct night and day classes for the convenience of workers employed on the day and aft- ernoon shifts. Sees Happier Workers. “If a man on a job is thoroughly acquainted with his task and enjoys his work, he is a much happier and a better employe and citizen,” Fuller E. Callaway, jr., treasurer of the mills, said in explaining the idea behind the school “It is our purpose not to give a general smattering of what goes on in a cotton mill, but to give the men and women a specific knowledge of every phase of a textile plant and equip them so that when they finish the school they will be able to hold down any job in the mill.” Callaway said enrollment was vol- untary and that the school’s 300 avail- able places have been spoken for.

Trades and Labor Council of Greater New York and vicinity. The “Melody Strollers,” a six-plece stringed orches- tra, presented a series of folk songs. Negro spirituals were sung by the Department of Labor Crescendo Male Chorus, of which George W. Brown director. is 3 ‘Then the whole audience swung into community singing, led by L. Camilieri of New York, director of the People’s Chorus. These choruses included “I've Been Workin’ On the Railroad,” “Auld Lang Syne,” and “America, the Beautiful.” At the reception, a distinct novelty in building dedications, Miss Perkins and her staff, and President Green of the A. F. of L. were in the formal recelving line. ‘The great hall itself, in which the formal exercises were held, located be- tween the Department of Labor on the west and the Interstate Commerce Commission on the east, was elabo- rately decorated. Flags of all 48 States were draped from the high windows and the auditorium stage was banked with flowers, flanked on one side by the American flag and on the other by the standard of the Department of Labor. A seal of the department, elabora done in colors, stood before the lorm, WORK UNDER WAY ONNEW FOODLAW Agriculture Department Analyzes Proposals in Copeland Measure. Officials of the Department of Agri- case for a new food and drug law With the expectation that much legislation will be built around the Copeland bill, now before the Senate | Drug Administration of the Depart- ment of Agriculture has just com- pleted an analysis of the New York Senator’s proposal, it was learned to- day. His recommendations then were submitted to the solicitor’s division of the department for further examina- tion. Comment Is Refused. Meanwhile, both Secretary Wallace and Undersecretary Tugwell have de- clined to comment in more than pass- ing manner upon the legislation. The latter, who was generally credited with being author of last year's proposed measure, is believed to have discussed new attempts to force through such legislation during a recent talk with the President at the White House. Although the Department’s exact reaction to the pending Copeland bill is thus kept under cover by the re- fusal of Wallace and Tugwell to com- ment, it was learned that the recom- mendations now before the solicitors called for some strengthening of the measure. Unable even to bring the bill up on the floor of the Senate last year, the New York Democrat this year has modifled the measure in some particulars in hope of more fa- vorable consideration. Departmental recommendations will call for a return of some of these con- cessions. New Law Long Desired. The shaking loose of several mem- bers of the so-called “left wing” of the A. A. A. and Department of Agri- culture has had little effect upon this particular legislative effort since some of the veteran officials of the Food and Drug Administration and mem- bers of the solicitor’s office who have Leen active in prosecuting violations long have been anxious for enactment of a new law. The influence of Wal- lace and Tugwell, of course, still is effective. On Capitol Hill the measure is awaiting hearings before a subcom- mittee of the Commerce Committee recently appointed by Chairman Copeland. This group consists of Senator Clark (Democrat) of Mis- souri; Senator Caraway (Democrat) of Arkansas and Senator McNary (Republican) of Oregon. No date has yet been set for the hearings.

BETHLEHEM, Pa, February 25.— Department of Justice authorities dis- counted today an alleged plot to kid- nap Eugene G. Grace, president of Bethlehem Steel Co., for a ransom supposed to be $25,000. Agents of the United States Inves- tigation Division Bureau at Phila- delphia dismissed the purported conspiracy as a “lot of wind,” while one Federal source said he was con- vinced the matter amounted to a prisoner “just letting off steam.” Police Run Down Story. Pennsylvania State police, however, were actively engaged in running down the story, obtained from one of four men in custody here in connec- tion with a series of bank robberies and holdups. The alleged conspiracy included the plan to abduct the steel executive, Mayor Robert Pfeifle of Bethlehem and Nicholas Castelucci, & Northamp- ton County courthouse attache.

By the Associated Press. Considering there was “something to the story” of a plot to kidnap him, Eugene G. Grace, president of the Bethlehem Steel Co., said today he was “not putting himself in the hands of kidnapers.” While Pennsylvania State police checked the purported plot, as al- legedly mentioned by men arrested in Bethlehem, Grace calmly testified to the Senate Munitions Committee in- ing Co., of which he also is head. Asked whether he was taking any | special precautions in the matter, Grace replied: s “I am not putting myself in the hands of the kidnapers.” INCOME PUBLICITY HELD AID TO CRIME Immediate Repeal of Tax Meas- ure Is Sought by U. S. Chamber. By the Associated Press. Immediate repeal of the law re- quiring publication of income tax re- turns was sought by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States today with the assertion that such publicity would encourage crime. “The informatign to be made public will disclose business and private af- fairs to competitors and will be used improperly in connection with secur- ing credit ratings, locating prospects, for satisfying mere personal curiosity and for racketeering,” said a state- ment issued by the chamber. “Publicity will encourage crime, as the data will be a prolific source of information for those plotting kid- naping or other crimes.” e TWO JOBS PERMITTED UNDER STATE RULING Attorney General Hojds in Favor of Hyattsville Counsel Who Is Sasscer Secretary.

The “descendent distribution” bill, designed to give the female line equal rights with the male line in inherit- ance in the District of Columbia, was passed by the House today. ‘The measure, in similar form, has been before Congress for at least 10 years. It was passed by the House in the Sixty-ninth and Seventy-second Congresses. It was reintroduced at this session as part of the Commis- | stoners’ 10-point legislative program. The House also passed a bill chang- ing the name of Leffler place northwest to Second place. Leffler place runs north from Oglethorpe street to Pea- body street. The change to Second place, Chairman Norton of the House District Committee explained, is to conform in the general practice in the naming of short streets in the District. On motion of Mrs. Norton, in charge of the District legislation in the House, | the House voted to substitute a bill | which already has passed the Senate | for a similar House bill authorizing a license to be granted to Dr. Chester P. Groff, for many years a practicing | physician in the District, who several years ago lost his license through | failure to apply within the specified time when the new law was passed regulating the practice of the healing art of the District.
