GERMANY DAZED, CONFUSED AS FINANCIAL MACHINERY OF NATION STANDS STILL - f Housewives Gather Before Banks Crying for Money to Buy Bread; Communists Shriek That Time for Revolution Is Here. BY FREDERICK KUH, 'CooyrlKht. 1931. by The Times i Untied Pres* Staff Corresonndent BERLIN, July 14.—Germany’s financial machinery stood still today, with all hanks closed and trading in securities and commodity markets suspended. The public was dazed and confused, wondering what to
expect, with the better-in-formed fairly confident the government would find a way out and a big international loan would come to prevent a crash. The feverish excitement of the last few days had abated somewhat into a sort of dull apathy. Nevertheless the cries of women before the locked bank doors, clamoring for money to buy bread, and the exhortations of Communist agitators in the Ruhr, Germany's "Pittsburgh area,” gave to the scene still a touch of desperation. Closed Under Decree Banks were closed under presidential decree for today and Wednesday, but it was hoped they could reopen Thursday, in time to distribute funds to meet wage and salary payments. The Bourse was closed for the week, and commodity exchanges followed suit, in a strenuous effort to prevent panic, runs on banks, and particularly a draip on the big banks through withdrawals of foreign currencies from Germany. Germany, long schooled in the hard discipline of years of the ‘‘verboten’’ era, responded stolidly to the emergency measures. Even the news that the bank of international settlements at Basle had agreed to a renewal of credits to the Reich —with prospect of international loans to tide over the present stringency—did not altogether allay nervousness of the past fortnight. Gather Before Banks Housewives gathered before many municipal savings banks, calling for their deposits. “Wir mucssen Gelt haben; Wir brauchen Brot," they called. "We must have money; we need bread." The United Press correspondent, witness of a scene like this before one of the banks, saw a bank official come out of the barred doors. He almost was mobbed. The women besieged him with frantic appeals to get money out of the "sparkasse" (savings department). He calmed them, telling them that even the officials were in a similar predicament. "My wife is in the same fix as you,” he said. “She’s almost desperate because she can't buy food and groceries." Meantime, the cabinet considered a proposal for introduction of a purely domestic currency, like clearing house certificates, supplanting the mark for internal use. It was believed designed to prevent marks from going abroad, and to prevent inflation such as marked the violent collapse of currency after the World war. Situation Is Aggravated The situation here was aggravated by news from central Europe, showing that the financial stringency was spreading eastward. In Hungary all banks were closed, and there were isolated closings in Austria, Rumania and Switzerland. Communist agitators found the situation ripe for their work. Ruhr miners and steelworkers were harangued by agitators, and the Communist newspapers published scareheads, warning laborers that “Your wages are endangered.” Revolutionary trade unions in the region summoned special meetings of the so-called Kampf (fight or battle) committees for Wednesday to declare that the time is ripening for a revolution. There appeared little real fear of a cessation of wage payments, however. An executive of the German trade union federation told the United Press that “the danger that wages be withheld is not acute, Reichsbank having assured that precautions were taken to meet wage payments Friday and Saturday promptly. May Be Complete Freezing "Our greater fear,” he added, “is that there may be a complete freezing of all credit sources which would result in anew and immense stoppage of Industry, throwing out of work hundreds of thousands and perhaps even millions of additional womers. Already there are 4,000,000 unemployed, and such a development would bring a terrible catasprohe.” A spokesman for the government gave a note of optimism when he told the United Press that the cabinet is confident the banks can reopen Thursday, though he admitted it depended largely on the success of President Hans Luther of the Reichsbank in negotiating a foreign credit of at least $300,000,000 in the mean time. American banking sources reacted pessimistically, and some sources believed Germany would be obliged to proclaim a national moratorium on private debts. The representative of one United States bank told the United Press that such a moratorium might “force quick foreign action for Germany's benefit." or it might cause foreign financiers to conclude thr.t, Alum to Page 15)

Turn Guns on Houses and Pursuing Posse as They Make Escape. By Times Special ROACHDALE, lnd., July 14. Shooting up the town after their robbery attempts had been blocked by fire from a double-barreled shotgun, three bandits early today escaped posses of officers and citizens and fled toward Indianapolis. The bandit trio, each of .them heavily armed, attempted to break into Fowler Brothers store, in which Otto Fowler, was sleeping as guard. Attempts to pry open the door failing, the bandits obtained a hammer from an auto stolen from John Clark, living less than a block from the store, and shattered the glass in the entrance. Fowler, awakened by their first efforts to er.ter the store, obtained a double-barreled shotgun and, as the trio returned to the door, fired both barrels. One Bandit Screams One of the bandits screamed and they fled to the stolen car, parked in front of the store. The shooting awakened majority of the residents, including Clark, who learned his auto was stolen and led the citizens in pursuit. Roaring down streets, the bandits fired shots into houses and turned their guns on Clark and others in the auto he had borrowed for the pursuit. No one was reported injured, the bullets missing their marks due to the speed of the autos. Clark and other residents pursued the bandits three miles outside the town, but because of the heavy dust missed the road where the bandits turned. Returning to Roachdale, Clark’s posse found anew coupe parked alongside the road. Had Car for Flight The bandits apparently had intended to make their escape in the car. but had succeeded only in transferring a bottle of medicine and glasses stolen from Clark’s car, they were so hard pressed in flight. The car, perhaps stolen, had been run but a few hundred miles, and the title was made out to a man living near Indianapolis. Sheriff Alva Bryan of Greencastle aided in pursuit of the bandits and confiscated the coupe. He and Clark at dawn picked up the trail of the bandit car, but lost trace of it at State road 36, where the car swung toward Indianapolis. Fowler told authorities the store had been looted six months ago and since then someone has slept in place each night. The last robbery- resulted in thieves stealing a truck load of merchandise. Roads Are Guarded Roads leading to Indianapolis from Roachdale w-ere guarded early today by deputy sheriffs and police in attempts to capture bandits after an attempted Roachdale store robbery One of the bandits is believed suffering from gunshot wounds. They are fleeing in a sedan stolen at Roachdale. One side of the car is said to be riddled with shotgun pellets. SHIP LOSES PROPELLOR Freighter Wallows fn Heavy Seas, Awaiting Naval Aid.

Weather forecasters declare no relief appears on the horizon and Wednesday, too, will see high or higher temperatures than today. With the announcement of lack of rain weather bureau figures show precipitation is 8.25 inches below normal. At ‘Lowest’ Stages Officials of the Indianapolis Water Company said that White river and Fall creek stages are "the lowest in history.” However, the company added there is no danger of lack of water, even if the drought should continue, because underground sources keep the creek and river supplied. Health department officers are watching the drop in the river, and will close beaches if it becomes stagnant and too low. From all parts of Indiana today came the reports that crops are in fair to good condition, with no serious damages resulting from lack of rain since July 5.

SCHOOLS CHIEF DENIES TENURE LAW MATED Stetson Says Marriage Not Issue in Dismissals of Teachers. UNFITNESS IS CHARGED I Ousted Instructors Assert Letters Couched in Form of Threats.
Battle over whether the Indianapolis school board is observing the teacher tenure law’ in the manner in w’hich approximately tw’enty j teachers have been dismissed w T as j being waged today as a result of 1 two suits already filed against the board. Other suits are being prepared. Ousted teachers charge that the letters of dismissal are couched in the form of a threat and that their contracts w’ere not renewed because they are married. On the other hand, Paul C. Stetson, superintendent of schools, to- ! day declared that the matter of being married had nothing to do with the ousters, but the teachers were not retained because of “temperamental unfitness” or because their w-ork was “unsatisfactory.” Stetson declared . that his position on dismissals w r as not actuated by a desire to get rid of married teachers. Denies Marriage Angle “No teacher, married or single, whose work was satisfactory, was dropped when the new contracts w’ere a few w’eeks ago. What we are attempting to do is raise the teaching standards here and are not fighting to invalidate the tenure law’. “I do not think the tenure law w’as WTitten for the purpose or intent of keeping incompetent teachers in the schools, and that is why the dismissals were ordered.” Although he declared that no request for a hearing was made, Fred Barrett, attorney for one of the teachers, demanded a hearing in a letter written June 24, on w’hich no action evidently has been taken. The 1927 teacher tenure act provided that a teacher receiving a contract for a sixth successive teaching year shall "become a permanent teacher of that school corporation.”
Entitled to Reasons Cancellation of the contract may be done only In the following manner; “Not less than thirty days nor more than forty days before the consideration of the cancellation of any such contract, the teacher shall be notified in writing of the exact date, time and place where such consideration is to take place; and the teacher shall be furnished with a written statement of the reasons for such cancellation. Tire teacher shall upon written request for a hearing filed within fifteen days after receipt of the notice, be given a hearing before the school board, and the hearing shall be held not less than five days after the request is filed, and the teacher must be given not less than five days’ notice of the time and place of hearing. Reasons Set Forth Witnesses may be used at the hearing. Cancellation of the contract as set out in the act may be made for incompetency, insubordination, neglect of duty, immorality, justifiable decrease in the number of teaching positions or other good and just cause, but may not be made for political or personal reasons.” “Temperamental unfitness" was given by Stetson as the reason for dismissal of Mrs. Nina Black, 3729 Guilford avenue who had been j teacher here eight and one-half years, in a letter sent her June 16, a week after school was dismissed for the summer. The report to the board by Stetson read: "I recommend that the contract of the board with Nina Black, a teacher of 3a grade school No. 55 be terminated for cause, the cause being temperamental unfitness for teaching.” Statutory provision regarding time, it is charged, was not observed. Hearing before the board was demanded on June 24. Letter Sent Teacher Outlining the policy adopted by the school board May 25, the letter to Mrs. Eugenia Johnson, Negro teacher, for nine years, 2516 Wheeler street, declared: “That teachers I married or unmarried, whether permanent teachers under tenure or j teaching their first five years in In- I dianapolis, whose records continuously are unsatisfactory will not be j recommended for retention after this fact has been established conclusively." The letter ads. “In accordance with this policy, a careful examination of your record in the Indianapolis public schools shows that your work has been unsatisfactory. 1 Therefore, you will not be recommended for reappointment. Should you prefer to have your office record terminate by resignation you will be accorded that privilege, provided an early reply is received for you." Mrs. Avanell Howk, 955 West Twenty-ninth street, was notified: "An examination of your record shows that your work has not been satisfactory enough to warrant your sixth consecutive appointment and, i therefore, you will not be recommended for reappointment. “If you prefer to keep your record clear with the Indianapolis schools and if it would save you any embarrassment, tre shall be willing to accept ycur resignation. Tills should, however, be sept to us at once." _
