THE EVENING STAR, LUDENDOREF, T, | et Germnmy] .. PRYNENTS LAUDED BY RE Kaiser’s Left Bower in War Declines to Become Field Marshal. (Copyrisht, 1035, by the Associated Press.) MUNICH, April 9.—The little vil- lage of Tutzing on the shore of pic- turesque Starnberg Lake, the home of QGermany's famous war-time strate- gist, Gen. Erich Ludendorff, became the Hub of the Reich’s universe today. High dignataries of the government directed their steps toward the old warrior's Bavarian retreat, an hour’s drive from Munich, to felicitate him on his 70th birthday anniversary. Gen. Werner von Blomberg, min- ister of defense; Gen. Werner von Fritsch, Reichswehr chief of staff, and | leaders of the old Imperial Army, with Crown Prince Friederich Wilhelm as their spokesman, were among those who carried greetings. Crowds surrounded Ludendorfl's simple and comfortable two-story, gabled country manor early in the day in the hope of getting a glimpse of the general. Hitler Expected to Call. An added air of excitement was produced by the expectation that Reichsfuehrer Hitler himself might appear later to express his good wishes and thereby affirm that the feud which has separated him from his one-time associate has been healed. In every Reichswehr barracks sol- diers started early to shine their boots and those of their superiors and bur- nish the buttons and epaulettes of their uniforms for the muster of 31,100 troops in honor of the World War eampaigner. Each commanding gen- eral nad orders to address a eulogy of Ludendorff to his men. Flags on public buildings reminded the nation of the occasion, which the Reichsfuehrer emphasized in a special proclamation. A notable exception in these ges- tures of respect, however, was afford- ed by the Roman Catholic and Con- fessional Synods, which announced they would remain aloof from the cel- ebrations. No flags would fly from their houses of worship, they said, be- cause the ald soldier has pronounced anti-Christian doctrines. Reich Buildings Closed. “With feelings of deep gratitude,” Der Fuehrer’s proclamation said, “the German people remember the imper- ishable achievement of its greatest fleld commander of the World War. Impressed by this sentiment and the national debt of gratitude, I, there- fore, order all Government buildings to be flagged April 9.” As if to forestall any call on his services on terms other than those imposed by himself, Ludendorff flatly declined to accept the title of field marshal tendered him by the govern- ment, saying his present designation as “feldherr,” field commander, was sufficient. He elaborated his program for Ger- many in an article in his bi-weekly magazine, Volkswacht, which appeared on the newsstands on the eve of to- day’s anniversary, Demands Unity. In this statement Ludendorff said: “I demand the unity of our people ‘on the basis of the knowledge of our race, both from the bodily (biological) and spiritual point of view. I demand the unity of our people as regards law, culture and economic life. “Such unity cannot be achieved if international doctrines of any kind, not only economic but also religious, hold sway among our people. Our people must tumn away from foreign doctrines and Christianity. May the 'German people listen to me. May the entire people at least listen to me this one time on my 70th birthday anni- ‘versary. “It is not hatred of Christianity; it is not hatred of supernatural powers that are the fountain source of my struggle against Christian teachings and against the powers of their tools. ‘The reason for my struggle lies in my Jove for the German people and for tts defence force. Only because of this love have I become the enemy of Christian teachings and supernatural powers.” “Powers” Defined. By “supernatural powers” Luden- dorff previously has explained he means the Catholic Church, Masonic brders and international Jewry. From a source close to the general, 1t was learned it will prove most diffi- eult, if not impossible, to persuade him to return to active service as he is 80 unyielding in his terms, which are regarded as too severe for the Hitler regime to accept. EX-KISER PENS LETTER. Expresses Gratitude for Services in ‘World War, By the Associated Press. DOORN, the Netherlands, April 9.— Former Kaiser Wilhelm took the in- itiative today in repairing the breach which has existed between him and Gen. Erich Ludendorfl since the closing days of the World War. ‘The former German monarch, join- ing in the activities honoring Luden- dorff on his 70th birthday anniversary, addressed to his old quartermaster general & letter of congratulations written in his own hand. In it he expressed his “gratitude for your wll‘nll achievements during the World ar.” Ludendorfl’s devotion for the former Kaiser cooled after his removal as quartermaster general toward the end of the war. The same incident was partly responsible for his estrange- ment with former President Paul von Hindenburg, who Ludendorff is said to have believed should have resigned from his generalship in protest against the treatment accorded his army colleague.

YOUTH PROGRAM ASKS SO0 Miss Perkins Urges Fund for Unemployed—Would Give Scholarships. By the Assoclated Press. A $96,000,000 Federal program for jobless youth, including scholarships to keep 16 and 17 year olds in school, was recommended yesterday in a Children’s Bureau report sent to the Senate by Secretary Perkins. The survey estimated that there were from 2,000,000 to 3,000,000 un- employed between the ages of 18 and 24 and that they had been aided only indirectly by Government reiief. An $8,100,000 allotment to the Office of Education would furnish the funds for the scholarships of $2 a week for one school year to 100,000 boys and girls whose families cannot supply carfare, books and incidentals. Other recommendations were: Setting up an advisory committee on youth employment methods from Federal agencies now concerned with the subject, this committee to co- operate with the States and local communities, Establishment of a junior work and emergency education division to pro- vide work, combined with recreation and education, for persons in the 18- to-24 age range. Dr. Mary S. Hayes, New York spe- cialist in youth employment problems, made the study in response to a reso- lution introduced by Senator Walsh of Massachusetts, asking the number of youth unemployed, the extent of Federal study of the problem and the feasibility of creating a special youth division in the Labor Department of Public Works Administration. Among specific suggestions for the unemployed 18 to 24 year olds were a fund of $84,370,000 for combined work, recreation and education proj- ects, of which $72,000,000 would be for allowances to young people and $12,370,000 for materials, supplies, ac- cident compensation and administra- tion. “This would provide allowances of $15 a month for combined work and training experience for 800,000 young people for periods averaging six months,” the report said. RECREATION COUNCIL| PLAN IS INDORSED Kalorama Association to Hold Last Meeting of Season May 13. A ‘recreation council consisting of nine members, as proposed by the Advisory Council of Playgrounds and Recreation, was indorsed by the Kalo- rama Citizens’ Association last night at its meeting at Collier Inn, 1807 Columbia road. Three members each would be chosen by the Board of Education, the District Commissioners and the National Capitol Parks. The associa- tion held this plan was the only way to provide a unified program for recreation. ‘The organization approved the pro- posed bill, which provides for raising the status of vocational schools from elementary ranking to that of junior high schools, and passed a motion indorsing it. The bill is proposed by Representative Wood, Democrat, of Missouri. The association decided to co- operate with the Rhode Island Ave- nue Citizens’ Association on their ‘The final meeting of the season will be held on Monday, May 13, at the home of Mrs. Harvey Wiley, newly elected president. CRUELTY CHARGES INVOLVE PHYSICIAN Carolina Prison Camp Head In- cluded in Warrants Issued in Probe. By the Associated Press. CHARLOTTE, N. C., April 9.—War- rants issued for alleged cruelty to convicts in State prison camps in Mecklenburg County, today were amended to include the names of Dr. C. 8. McLaughlin, county physi- cian, and T. 8. Brown, superintendent of one of the camps. The action was taken by Judge Don Phillips, Superior Court judge, who is sitting as a committing magistrate in an investigation of practices at the camps. The two men are charged with as- sault by torture upon Robert Barnes, 19, and Woodrow Shropshire, 19, and with the common law felony of maim- Loyal Legion, which will open at the | ing.

By the Associated Press. A. A. A. officials estimated today they will pay out approximately $550,- 000,000 o American farmers for tak- ing pert in the 1935 crop-adjustment program. This is $20,000,000 less than the payments for 1934. At the same time officials indicated there was a growing sentiment within the Agriculture Adjustment Adminis- tration to develop a new type of pro- duction control which would be based on regions rather than on crops. Benefit and acreage rental pay- ments already made to farmers now are approaching the billion-dollar mark. Reduced payments this year will come largely in the corn-hogs and tobacco programs, where restrictions have been eased. Cotton farmers, however, will re- ceive more than they did last year, officials estimated. On the basis of present contracts, they say, $126,- 906,000 will go into the Southland as compared with $115,000,000 for 1934. Money to make these payments is raised through processing taxes now being attacked in Congress. A. A. A. officials generally express the view that the current programs are emergency and temporary adjust- ments to remove heavy crop surpluses which existed at the time the A. A. A. was created. Now, they say, the time is ripe to make permanent adjust- ments in each region. Under such a regionalized program the South, for instance, would be divided into subregions, such as the large-scale cotton area of Texas and Oklahoma, the delta cotton section of the lower Mississippl and the Pied- mont section. Wheat-growing area would be simi- larly divided and each section allotted & proportion of the total crop pro- duction. ‘This action, however, would be only part of a long-time program which would include promotion of farm own- ership, rural rehabilitation, soil ero- sion control and Government pur- chase of submarginal land. Farmers trying to make a living on poor land would be moved to richer soil. Cotton, wheat and other farmers signed two-year reduction contracts which will expire in 1936. Definite regional programs, officials said, might be ready for consideration then. HILLCREST HEARS PAST PRESIDENTS Four Former Officers Tell of Im- provements in Citizens’ Association. Past President's night was observed at a meeting of the Hillcrest Citizens’ Association last night at the East Washington Heights Baptist Church, with four of the former presidents Pparticipating. George E. Sisemoore, first president of the association, spoke briefly on the many improvements that had oc- curred in the neighborhood since the inception of the association 10 years ago. He was followed by Henry L. Gramp, Clinton Scott and Albert Sell- man, all former presidents, each one | pointing out the improvements that had taken place in the association. Previous to the celebration a short business meeting was held. Commit- tee reports and communications were read. The association was informed that the hourly bus service now in ef- fect will be changed within a few weeks to 20-minute service, an im- provement that the association has looked forward to for many years. The association tabled until the next meeting the request of the Junior Board of Commerce asking the senti- ments of the association on daylight saving time during the Summer. F. H. Shellady, Scoutmaster of the newly formed troop, spoke on the ad- vantage of Scout troops and the ben- | efiis derived by young boys active in this kind of work. The troop, which was d by the association, re- cently received its charter and is of- ficially known as troop No. 68. Four new members were admitted at last night's meeting, which was pre- sided over by the president, Rudolph Malth.

Providing room for 500 additional | statistics fans will be happy to learn pupils at Eastern High School by!that the huge relief fund comes to changing the school’s two gymnasiums into class rooms was asked in a resolu- tion adopted last night by the Stanton Park Citizens’ Association. A. H. Gregory, chairman of the as- soclation’s School Committee, intro- duced the resolution and sald another gymnasium could be provided, possibly in a separate building near the school. “School ¢fficials are opposed to the erection of a new wing to the school,” he declared, “but it is certain if the gymnasiums were converted, another would have to be erected immediately.” The school's attendance has in- creased 50 per cent in the last six years, he pointed out, and now houses over 3,000 students instead of the ap- proximately 1,800, as was the original intention. He declared there were over 3,000 youths within a radius of 12 blocks square of the school, located at Eighteenth . and East Capitol streets northeast. The resolution was adopted unanimously. Part of the entertainment program at the meeting included movies of im- provements in the Chesapeake & Po- tomac Telephone Co, Announcement was made that the bingo party sponsored by the associa- tion Saturday in an effort to raise funds éar the association netted more 5. ¥ James P.

Authorizing its secretary to trans- mit a letter of protest to the Public Utilities Commission, the Piney Branch Citizens’ Association last night laid plans for a determined fight against the recent order of the commission | establishing an express bus service on | Thirteenth street. The meeting was held in Roosevelt High School. Condemnation of the commission’s stand in refusing to grant a new hear- ing on the bus question was voiced. The utilities body, after considering a | petition of 400 families residing in the upper Thirteenth street area, last week reaffirmed its previous action in in- augurating the express line. At the instance of Benjamin Meiser, it was decided to communicate with the Takoma Park Citizens' Association | to acquaint that group with increased | traffic congestion allegedly resulting from the new bus service. The existing committee on the mat- | ter, headed by Charles Morrell, plans to continue efforts for a new hearing before the Public Utilities Commission. Morrell pointed out that the Columbia. Heights Citizens' Association, the Co- lumbia Heights Business Men’s Asso- ciation and the Columbia Heights Forum also have gone on record as| opposed to the express line. The Piney Branch group approved the campaign of the Petworth Citizens’ Association for the erection of a branch library to serve the Roosevelt High School area, but reiterated its position for the utilization of the Nurses’ Home of the Tuberucolsis Hos- pital, upon its abandonment, as & library building if funds are not forth- | coming for construction of & new structure. Although no formal action Wwas taken, sentiment was expressed urging immediate completion of Fort Sheri- dan drive, northern link in the pro- jected express highway from the out- iying sections to the downtown area, of | which the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway forms & part. 90 Ten-Ton Trucks Could Not Carry Relief Fund Gold Sum in $1 Bills Would Occupy 924 Cords or Cover 20 Acres. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, April 9.—To settle & burning issue, 90 trucks and a strong pushcart are what you would need to carry off the $4,880,000,000 relief fund. That is just one statistic out of a bushel, and, spesking of bushels, nine bushels, even in $1,000 bills. The truck figure is based on what Chicago money transfer experts com- pute the weight of $4,880,000,000 to be, in gold coin. To check it you start with the information flvllt $5,000 in gold weighs, roughly, 18% pounds. Ninety 10-ton trucks would not quite do the trick. 924 Cords of Currency. Put on s kindling basis, the statis- ticians estimate that $4,880,000,000 is roughly, 924 cords of currency, in $1 bills. The relief fund would stack that high, in standard currency pack- s of 4,000 bills. muld end to end, the relief fund would be considerable of a nuisance. Picking up $1 every second, on the eight-hour day, 1,000 men ‘would need something more than 16 years to ther the cash. "A bank roll like that would have its rosier side, however. With it, you could buy any city in the country, ex- cept New York and Chicago, at its assessed tax valuation. You could buy Philadelphia (assessed at $4,162,- 012,643 in 1933) and have enoug left over to buy and Denver. ‘Would Cover 20 Acres. It is 20 acres of money, in $1 bills, and with it would go considerable economic security. Your family could spend $50,000 a year without fear that any descendant would need a job for 97,600 years. As a nest egg, it is slightly more than the total deposits of the coun- try’s four biggest banks, on early 193¢ figures. It is also more than the value of all the gold produced in the United States since 1792. Still, $4,880,000,000 isn’t one of the big figures in American history.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, April 9.—In- dorsing Senate bill 299 as passed by the Maryland Legislature, amending the charter of the town of Takoma Park, Md, members of the Young Men's Democratic Club of Takoma Park urged Gov. Nice to affix his sig- nature to the bill, at & hearing here today. President J. Bond Smith, acting as spokesman, informed Gov. Nice that the proposed amendments to the charter were all of constructive char- acter, suggested and drafted by citi- zens interested in the town's progres- siveness, all being property owners and taxpayers. The speaker said no objections, as far as the club is aware, have been presented to protection of town funds in excess of $5000, printing a brief resume of the annual report of the auditor, or payment of town taxes in semi-annual installments. Objection, Mr. Smith said. had been made to the division of the town into wards and election of councilmen from these wards, on the ground of expense. *“At the last municipal election,” he said, “over 2,000 votes were cast at the one polling place provided and the judges, clerks of election and door- keepers were s0 numerous as to retard rather than facilitate the voting. The cost of this personnel was about $225, while voting by wards would elimi- nate such confusion and congestion and the cost would be about $150. As the amended charter abolishes an- nual elections and establishes bian- nual elections instead, there would be an actual saving of $300 every two years. Cows fhat Keep Farmers money crop.

SCHOOL “MENACE” HELD NONEXISTENT Dartmouth firesident Says Freedom of Thought Rules Colleges. Pears of communistic growths in the Nation's schools and coileges, widely publicised by some groups, are unfounded, said Dr. Ernest Martin Hopkins, president of Dartmouth Col- lege, who addressed a dinper meeting last night in the Carlton Hotel of local Dartmouth alumni. Since freedom of thought, discus- sion and action is the essence of truly liberal education, current campaigns against & non-existent red menace imperil education itself, he declared. “The college is useless as an insti- tution of learning unless it knows the basis and basic purposes for any con- solidated group of society,” he said. “Each group must be studied, the bad rejected and the good accepted, as the student’s good judgment dictates.” Regimentation Denounced. Holding that Americanism is synon- ¥ymous with liberalism, he charged that “the people who shout so loudly for Americanism in education appear to be the least practical about it,” since they would create regimentation in thought. If any menace of revolution exists it 1s not in the colleges and universi- ties of the United States, but among the poverty stricken. Dr. Hopkins, who recently returned from a tcur of Europe, emphasized the growth of regimentation there. “In Europe there is regimentation and stereotyping of men's thoughts,” he asserted. “I would never accept that here, but it is marvel of efficient training. Particularly in Italy, ma- terial progress has been immense, Might Borrow in Part. “We might borrow from them the compulsion of having certain required subjects which all students should study.

LOUIS, April 9.—Spirited bid- ding by 77 buyers from the world's principal fur markets yesterday netted the United States Government $616,990 at its semi-annual auction of Pribilof Island sealskins. The 26,403 skins brought prices averaging 20 to 25 per cent higher than the Spring sale of a year ago, when sales totaled $603,952. Under the three-power pact of 1911 Japan and Canada each get 15 per cent of the arnual kill. The United States gets the lion’s share for acting as guardian.
