CATHOLIC YOUTH BANS ISSUED AS NAZS PUSH FIGHT ON CHORCH, WS Several Priests Defy Hitler and Speak on Political Situation, but Action Against Them Is Delayed. ANTI-SEMITIC VIOLENCE INCREASES IN REICH| Kerrl, Der Fuehrer's Aide in Charge of Drive, Believed Map- ping Program to Stifie Catholic and Lutheran Opposition in Decisive Action. (Copyright. 1935, by the Associated Press.) BERLIN, July 22—Wilhelm Frick. minister of the interior, ordered all German state governments today to forbid all organizations of confessiouzl (Lutheran and Roman Catholic) youth to wear distinctive garb or in- signia or to march together. The new order, a direct blow at the young members of the Lutheran and Catholic Church “political organiza- tions,” followed within a few hours after Reichfuehrer Hitler's newspaper Voelkischer Beobachter had ranked political Catholicism as “public enemy No. 1” and in the midst of an increas- edly heated Nazi campaign against the Jews. Frick’s decree ordered the organi- vations of confessional youth to re- frain from all quasi-military and ath- letic sports. Activities “Overstepped.” The decree declared: “In recent times, the observation has been made in an increasing meas- ure that confessional organizations, especially Catholic youth formations, have overstepped the limit set for their activities by political develop- ments and are unfolding intense ac- tivity in the realms which today are reserved alone for the Hitler youth as the youth organization recognized by the state.” The full machinery of the Nazi press was invokei m a general fight against political Catholicism and Jewry, with both Catholic organiza- tions and Jews included in the term “reactionaries.” ‘Two factors, apparently, were de- laying more stringent action against | both the Roman Catholic and Prot- | estant churches — consequently, .ar- | rests which had been threatened | against all priests who commented on political subjects from their pulpits yesterday did not take place. The first factor is the fact that the | man designated by Reichsfuehrer Hit- | ler to handle religious affairs as a | cabinet minister, Hand Kerrl, has left | on a three weeks’ leave “to prepare | himself for mastering the task with which he is charged by Der Fuehrer.” | This is interpreted in some church | eircles to mean that Kerrl will map | a precise program for action in stifling | the Catholic and Lutheran church | opposition, so that when he returns | the blow will be all the harder. Catholic Conference. The second delaying factor is the | approaching conference of all Catholic | bishops August 16 at Fulda. As the | intervening time will be taken up in negotiations with Rome, the confer- ence will announce a Catholic policy at about the same time Kerrl is ex- pécted to return to office and an- nounce the Nazi policy. Even the synagogues were proven not to be exempt from the anti- Semitic violence of the Nazis yester- | day. | The stately synagogue on Prinz | Regentenstrasse in Western Berlin | was smeared with inscriptions such | as “out with the Jews,” while anti- Bemitic slogans were painted on the | sidewalks in front. Swimming ostablisbmients in East- ern Berlin, notably the Grueuneide beaches, were combed for Jews and any found bathing were chased out. Other parts of the city also showed today that Sunday wus emploved by the ardent anti-Semites to assist Paul Joseph Goebbels, minister of propa- ganda, in his “cleansing of the Jews.” Before one well-known ice cream par- lor owned by a Jew a photographer stood ready to take a picture of every gentile who entered.

The House quickly passed nine District bills this afternoon and then opened debate on the divorce bill, which already has passed the Senate. Its sponsor, Representa- tive Carpenter, Democrat, of Kan- sas, declared all objectionable fea- tures of the bill had been elimi- nated and predicted passage. Among the bills passed were the smoke control measure and that calling for semi-annual inspection of all registered motor vehicles. ‘The House today passed the bill pro- | viding for semi-annual inspection of | all motor vehicles in the District. This was the first of 14 bills await- | ing action in the House today. It still| requires action by the Senate. Chairman Norton of the District | | Committee emphasized that it is a| | traffic safety measure and the Com- | missioners strongly urged its enact- ment. | | The bill was amended on motion of Representative Blanton, a member of | | the subcommittee on District ap-| propriations, so that the funds set up for establishment of three tspection stations through an annual contribu- tion of each auto owner would be kept under the control of Congress. the same as the fund built up under the gasoline tax. Several other amend- ments were offered, but were defeated. Lobby Is Charged. During the debate, Representative Ellenbogen, Democrat, of Peunsyl- vania charged that a lobby is en- deavoring to preveut passage of the | unemployment compensation measure, | which has been paxed by the House and radically amcroec in the Senate. The debate also was featur.d by an attack on th> civil service system by Representative Faddis, Democrat, of Pennsylvania. Those speaking in support of the| bill included Representatives Blan- ! ton, Texas; Dinged, Democrat, of | Michigan; Ellenbogen, Democrat, of Pennsylvania, and Carpenter, Demo- crat, of Kansas. Those who spoke in opposition were Patman, Democrai, of Texas and McFarland, Democr=t. of Texas. Chairman Norton explained the reason for this legislation is the enormous increase in traffic accidents, which District officials are endeavor- ing to reduce and control. This bill embodies the so-called Memphis plan and was proposed by the director of vehicles and traffic in the District, | William A. Van Duzer. Calls for Repairs. Mrs. Norton pointed out that many accidents occur because of mechan- ical imperfections in motor vehicles, such as bad brakes, bad lights and so forth. It is proposed to set up three District testing stations to make periodical tests on the 180,000 reg- istered cars. The bill carries authorization for appropriation of $85,000 for construc- tion or rental of these inspection sta- tions and $75,000 for salaries. During debate it was emphasized that all of these positions are under the classifi- cation act. Several amendments offered en- deavored to control the appointments or place limits on salaries, but these were defeated. The fund is to be raised by requiring automobile owners to pay an additional dollar when they apply for their 1936 license tags and thereafter each year each owner would pay an additional fee of 50 cents for maintenance of the stations. el R Driver Bailed in Death. FALLS CHURCH, Va., July 22 (Spe- cial). —David Campbell of Falls Church, said by police to be the driver of a truck which struck and killed a 2-year-old colored child near here Saturday night, was at liberty today on $2,000 bond for appearance at a coroner’s inquest tonight.

DIPLOMATS TO REMOVE ACTIVITIES TO DJIBOUTI Special Train Put at Disposal of Consulate Corps—II1 Duce to Get New Request. By the Associated Press. ROME, July 22.—Foreign diplomats at Addis Ababa were reported today to be arranging to move their legations as Italian officials expressed doubt that final efforts by England and France | would ward off an Italo-Ethiopian war. The authoritative newspaper La Stampa of Turin said diplomats have decided to go to Djibouti, French Somaliland, when growing resentment among Ethiopians to white men makes | the situation too serious. The Ministers and consuls of the United States, England, France, and Japan already have acquired legation buildings at Djibouti, the newspaper said, and have begun to send their archives there. Special Train Held Ready. ‘The management of the Franco- Ethiopian Rallway between Addis Ababa and Djibouti was reported to have ordered a special train placed at the disposal of the consulate corps. Briush circles said they believed Sir Eric Drummond, British Ambassa- | dor to Rome, would ask Premier Beni- | to Mussolini to submit his documents in the Italo-Ethiopian impasse to the | League of Nations in an effort to avert | open conflict. Italian authorities, however, said Il Duce probably would turn down such a request. | The French Ambassador, Paul de | Chambrun, also was expected to have another audience with Mussolini con- cerning the latest developments in the | dispute. There was no indication of unity in the British and French ac- | tions. Mussolini's own newspaper, Popolo | D'Italia of Milan, said in a front| page editorial: “We don't know if actually the English government intends with that | of France to make a final effort to avert the conflict. “However, this effort can only be made either i:. the direction of Addis | Ababa or in the direction of Rome. | That is to say, it must have for its | objective either to induce the Emperor | to acknowledge a large part of the | Italian demands or to induce Italy to | renounce part of her demands. | Certain Failure Seen. | “In one case or the other it will be destined t> certain failure.” | All newspapers reporting the protest | against the Emperor’s speech to Par- | liament said the Italian government | reserved the right to make a further | decision in connection with the inci- | dent. This reference was interpreted first to mean a possible rupture of diplo- matic relations Later it was believed to imply that the address would be one of many items in a bill of grievances to be delivered in an ultimatum to the Ethiopian government in September. HUNT FOR SOLUTION PUSHED. British Cabinet Instructs Envoy to Renew Efforts.

LAST PRICE-FIXING VESTIGE IS KILLED La Follette Amendment to A.A.A. Bill Also Passed, Restrict- ing Imports. By the Associated Press. Moving to protect the administra- tion’s farm program against court at- tacks, the Senate today voted to validate crop-control contracts be- tween the Agriculture Department and farmers. Quickly the Senate then struck out of the A. A. A. bill the last vestige of price-fixing provisions by adopting an amendment by Senator Byrd, Demo- crat, of Virginia. Another amendment was attached by Byrd requiring that no marketing agreement may be entered into among handlers without the consent of two- thirds of the producers. By e vote of 60 to 17, the Senate earlier adopted an amendment by Sen- ator La Follette, Progressive, of Wis- consin, permitting the President to impose quota restrictions on agricul- tural imports to preserve price gains achieved by the domestic farm pro- gram. An amendment by Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of Montana, setting aside $50,000,000 of work-relief money for | purchase and retirement of submar- ginal land, was adopted. Wheeler explained it was to meet a ruling by the controller general that the bill appropriating $4,880,000,000 for work relief early this session made no provision for such purchases. Wheeler said the money was to be used in taking up options already held by the Government for moving farmers from marginal lands. He ac-| cepted a revision limiting it to this purpose, leaving to future congres- sional action whether the program | should be continued beyond present | commitments. } ‘The program of marginal land buy- | ing was described as socialistic by | Senator King, Democrat, of Utah. “There is no justification,” he as- serted, “for any of these socialistic | schemes conceived by brain trusters. I deny the right of the Federal Gov- ernment to go out and condemn lands to lie fallow.” The La Follette amendment was supported by many Democrats along | with a number of Republicans. In effect, it 1s a substitute for the House provision in the bill which would have permitted the President “to impose quotas and increase tariffs on commodities whose importation was found to be depressing the price of basic farm commodities.” ‘The vote came quickly today after the Senate convened two hours early | in an effort to speed action on the A. A. A. legislation which has already been debated 10 days. Opposition Veiced by Smith. La Follette’s proposal was opposed vigorously by Chairman Smith of the | Senate Agriculture Committee, which had stricken out the House language entirely, Smith declared it was an expansion of the “protective” system which he had always opposed. Supporting it, Senator Vandenberg, Republican, of Michigan, declared it was to stop a “flood of basic com- modities coming over the tariff walls.” Seventeen Democrats voted against the import quotas while 38 Democrats, 20 Republicans, 1 Progressive and 1 Farmer-Labor supported them. The roll call on the La Follette plan follows: FOR THE AMENDMENT—60 Democrats—38.

Parliamentary Maneuvers. ‘The vote came after parliamentary maneuvers in which several adminis- tration leaders joined in an effort to get the amendment to conference with the House in some form as a means of avoiding further debate. The proposal to let it go to con- ference with the House without fur- ther debate was agreed on after the Senate accepted a ruling by the Vice President that the conferees would be required to bring back “some kind of an amendment” along the Iines sought by both branches.

SUMMER FLIRTATIONS SOMETIMES ARE SERIOUS! IPANESEACCUSED BY SCOOL EROUP Missionaries Charge Gun- boat Fired on Buildings and Grounds. By the Associated Press. HANKOW, China, July 22.—Amer- ican missionaries at the Missionary | School of Huping College at Yochow, Hunan Province, reported today they | were subjected to machine gun fire | from a Japanese gunboat July 18. The missionaries reported the in-| cident when they arrived here from | their post which is in the vicinity of Tungting Lake, where the gunboat, which was not identified, was said to have been cruising. One of those making the report was the Rev. Edwin Beck of Tiffin, Ohio. Huping College, fehich Is & school for Chinese boys, fs owned by the Re- formed Church of the United States with mission headquarters in Phila- delphia. According to the Rev. Mr. Beck, the | armed Japanese craft subjected the | Huping College building, including the residence for foreigners, to a shower of softnosed machine gun bul- lets, endangering the lives of nearly every one in the place, but no one was injured. He stated that the Japanese craft departed without explanation of its | “strange act.” Japanese naval officers | here in Hankow did not comment | upon the charge. Accident Theory Rejected. It was suggested here that the in- cident was an accident arising from a Japanese gunboat's target practice upon Tungting Lake. The Japanese naval patrol boats which go on the Yangtse River frequently indulge in this practice, but hitherto they have always done their shooting farther from Yochow. However, the mission- aries involved in the incident were skeptical. According to the Rev. Mr. Beck, for several days prior to the alleged shoot- ing into the mission property, a con- ference of the Chinese Young Men's | Christian Association workers, includ- | ing American representatives, had | gone on in Huping College. It was said the participants had “freely, and in an uncomplimentary manner discussed the Japanese acti- vity in China.” ‘The American said he believed the conference was spied upon by Japan- ese agents and that the machine gun- ning was connected with the alleged espionage. He declined, however, to comment on whether he believed the gunboat’s fire was meant as intimidation or re- taliation for what was alieged to have gone in within the Y. M. C. A.

NEW MEANS OF NAVAL LIMITATION CONSIDERED System of Co-ordinating Naval Programs by Agreement for Defense Alone Is Planned. U. S.-British Teeth for Kellogg . Pact Are Proposed. By the Associated Press. LONDON, July 22—Sir Bolton Eyres-Monsell, first lord of the ad- miralty, told the House of Commons today that England was definitely abandoning the principle of naval ratios adopted in 1922 at Washington. Sir Bolton, who made his statement during a defense of the recent Anglo- German naval pact, declared Great Britain's new policy had been adopted because some nations felt it wounded their national pride to accept perma- nent inferiority. 5—5—3 Ratios Established. (Under the Washington treaty of 1922, later supplemented by the Lon- don treaty of 1930, the naval tonnage ratios of the leading powers were es- tablished at 5 for Great Britain to | 5 for the United States to 3 for Japan —the famous 5—5—3 ratio. The navies of France and Italy, on the same basis, received a rating of 1.5 each.) Sir Bolton explained that other means are being sought to accom- plish the same result of naval limita- tion. They would be based upon a sys- tem of naval programs, which, by agreement, would accommodate the various naval strengths in such a way | as to provide adequate navies for des fense while attempting to el¥minate | navies for offensive purposes. 1 U. S.-British Unity Urged. The view that the British govern- ment and the United States should effect naval co-operation designed to put teeth in the Kellogg-Briand anti- {war pact was voiced in the House | earlier by Admiral Gordon Campbell. “The two great English-speaking nations,” said the admiral, “should ‘co—opeuu far more closely in such a way that the world would know, in the event of any nation attempting to break the Kellogg pact, the two navies of these great nations would stand | together as they did in 1917 and 1918."
