REICHSTAG TO MEET FRIDAY Secret Police Arrest 70 For Alleged Communistic Activities Berlin, July 12.— (U.R) — A count of faces in the reichstag meeting tomorrow night to hear Chancellor Adolf Hitler make a “final accounting’’ of his suppression of the alleged storm troop revolt may give evidence of the number of Nazi leaders who incurred his ■ wrath. Eight of the storm troop leaders who were executed were members j of the reichstag, and names of other reichstag members have been mentioned in rumor as dead or in prison awaiting court martial. Hence persons interested in com- ! pleting the story of the revolt planned a check. There were two difficulties — first that many ot the reichstag members, hand picked from the ranks of the Nazi party, are unknown to most Germans if not to each other, and secondly that Minister of Interior Wilhelm Frick, tn his dual capacity of parliamentary leader, has personal power to appoint successors to any reichstag members evicted from the party or resigned. It was suggested that Frick might appoint successors to dead or imprisoned members before tomorrow night’s meeting. The foreign press association planned a meeting to discuss the speech of Minister of Propaganda Paul Joseph Goebbels, in which he denounced foreign newspapers in general as having falsely reported the storm troop crisis and its (CONTINUED ON PAGE NAVY DIRIGIBLE IS CONDEMNED — Dirigible Los Angeles Is Condemned As Unfit For Flight — Washington, July 12. —(U.R) —The navy department has condemned the dirigible Los Angeles as unfit for flight, Secretary Claude A.

NEW CRISIS IN RELATIONS OF TWO COUNTRIES Open Break Between Austria And Germany Feared Looming NAZI METHODS DISAPPROVED I Vienna, July 12— (U.R) —A new < crisis in relations between Austria i and Germany which may end In j an open diplomatic breach was threatened today. Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss, 1 It was said on reliable authority, I j lia»*ened a cabinet reorganization j that he might recall his minister to Germany without formally breaking relations. A source j equally well informed said the German minister had been order-; ed by Berlin to be prepared to j leave Austria at any moment. Even government officials were I puzzled at the full implications of i the little chancellor’s sudden re- j | organization of his cabinet. It was known he planned a drive against Nazis and it was j reported that attention would be ' paid to socialists and communists i ! also. There was doubt at first wheth- ‘ ier the appointment of Stephen Tauscnitz. minister to Germany, | as under secretary of foreign . affairs, was done in order to with- ; draw him—leaving only a charge l d'affaires to run the legation—or : whether Dollfuss wanted him. an rrnv-TTNURD ON PAGE FIVE) ARKANSAS BAD GIRL IS KILLED Escaoed From Prison, Killed By Guard On Failure To Halt Jacksonville, Ark., July 12.—(U.R) j ■—The body of Helen Spence Eaton.

CITY TRAFFIC PARALYZEDAS 4,000 STRIKE Teamsters Walk Out In Sympathy With Other Workers TWIN CITIES FEAR FURTHER RIOTING San Francisco, July 12. —• (U.R) — Dav citv traffic was ! paralyzed tod a v as 4,000 I teamsters struck in svmpalliv with maritime workers. The strike, involving 2.500 union drivers in San Francipco and 1.200 in Oakland, increased tension in the shipping crisis here and created a chaotic situation among wholesale food dispensers. With land and maritime shipping in the bay district both at a virtual standstill, armed guards along the San Francisco front increased vigilance to vent further outbreaks in ttte marine strife that has gripped the Pacific coast for more than two months. Leaders of the teamsters’ union, explaining the action, declared they were walking out because non-union teamsters had been employed to move cargo from docks. Fears of a food famine should the latest walkout endure for a lengthy period were allayed in part by storekeepers who said they had prepared themselves for the strike with a 30-day supply. Deliveries of meats, fruit, vegetables, liquor, flour, furniture and gasoline from warehouse to stores were impaired. Retail delivery trucks, however still rolled along the streets.
