HITLER'S HEART WITH GERMANY EVEN AS CHILD Lad of Austrian-Bohemian Parentage Drilled for Hours in Goosestep. Kurop* and America are about to witness the rise of anew dictator to to power. Adolph Hitler, fiery chieftain of Germany* 12.000,000 Fascists, is preparing to take over the government, despite the refusal by President Von Hlndenburg to name h:m chancellor. Today The Times presents the first of a series of articles concerning Hitler and his rse to power. Written hv Guy V. Miller. Pittsburgh Press foreign editor, these stories present a vivid word picture of the man who holds the fate of Europe in his hands. BY GUY V. MILLER Older inhabitants of the village of Lam bach, in Upper Austria, still remember the puny, pale-cheeked son of Unterofßzer Hitler, of the customs service, who played dn the streets of the little town. They recall how the hoy, Adolf by name, played "soldier” for hours, marching tirelessly in perfect imitation of the. Prussian goose step. Sometimes to spur his own wilting spirits on the "march,” his thin, childish voice used to break out in song, not the words of the Austrian national anthem, hut the stirring refrains of "Deutschland über Allcs,” ( the war cry of German soldiers for generations. The village used to think it strange. Hitler Pere was a noisy Austrian patriot, boasting to cronies over steins of beer how well he served the Hapsburg emperor on the Austro-Bavarian border. Mother Was Bohemian And Hitler s mother was not even an Austrian. She was Bohemian, a Czech from Prague. They made a strange trio, the villagers thought, each devoted to a different race. Os course, the village never paid more than passing attention to the Hitlers, and especially to little Adolf. No one then dreamed that this sickly-looking youngster would become one of the world's greatest political leaders, chieftain of Germany's 12,000,000 Fascist: and perhaps future chancellor of the reich. And if you had told them that this boy would some day threaten the peace of Europe and the world, as well, the villagers would have thought you mad. Only Kings Counted They knew better, in those days only kings and princes could threaten the world's peace. Who then could have dreamed that a mere commoner would some day hold in his hands the fate of present-day Germany? Or that he would be able to plunge Europe into war by a few rash words? Today, Lambach has seen all of these things come true. Os course, there are the usual "I told you so’s,” who stoutly contend that they knew all along that Adolf Hitler was going to be a great man when he grew up. They cite the significance of the boy's fondner-, for the Prussian goose step and German songs. That proves, they say, that even then the lad had his eyes and heart turned toward Germany. But most of the villagers frankly admit that, they never thought much of young Hitler's chances for success. Why, he was not even bright in school, a rather stupid pupil, they recall. He Was Puny Lad Besides he was so puny. Now if it had been Butcher Schmidt's son, a smart student and rosy-cheeked and husky besides. But, alas for the village's hopes, Butcher Schmidt's son was destined to follow his lather's profession. Os course, every one in Lambach now is familiar with the rise to power of Adolf Hitler. They follow his daily activities eagerly in the Vienna and Munich papers. They know, for example, that Herr Hitler was refused the chancellorship of Germany by his war-time commander-in-chief, now President Paul von Hindenburg. But the villagers believe Adolf will get it anyway. And they are probably right. If Lambach is proud of its distinguished citizen, the latter does not return the compliment. In fact. Hitler today is rather reticent on the subject of his childhood. Retic-nt Ahnut Lambach Ask him about his war record and his political success, and he will talk for hours. But when you mention Lambach. he shuts up and refuses to talk. No one can quite understand why. Hitler is particularly closemouthed on the subject of his parents. He seems to be ashamed of his mother's Bohemian origin. Perhaps it does not fit in well with his vehement denunciations of all non-German nationalities and his program to purge the Fatherland of Jews, Slavs and similar races. Yet. Hitler's Bohemian ancestors gave him one of his greatest gifts, a flair for oratory. His speeches have a fluency and tang that smacks of the Slav, rather than of the German. Gifted as Orator He. alone of all Germany’s political loaders, is at his ease in addressing a crowd. While the others stammer and blunder through their prepared speeches, in heavy-tongued Teuton fashion. Hitler speaks for hours, naturally and without consulting a note. Furthermore, it was Lambach which gave young Hitler his first dreams of greatness It was in the , little village school that he studied the lives of Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar and Charlemagne, the famous dictators of the past. They were his heroes and he often dreamed of following in their footsteps as the dictator of his favorite country, Germany. That dream already is close to realization. • (To Be Continued) little left Estate Willed to Mary Astor Is Consumed by Expenses. LOS ANGELES.

Court-Harrassed Mother Fac .s Bad Check Charge

Woman Who Raced Half Way Around World Held on New Charge. A domestic tangle which had its inception in the South seas nearly two years ago, resulting in a mother's hurried voyage to Indianapolis to fight in court for custody of her two children, broke to the surface in local courts again today. This time, the mother, Mrs. Esther Anderson, whose trip around half the earth was rewarded by victory when she won custody of the children, faced Municipal Judge William H. Sheaffer on a charge of issuing fraudulent checks. It was the second offense charged to the mother since winning her fight for the children. Several weeks ago she was charged with neglect of the children in juvenile court, and the case still is pending. Although Sheaffer deferred hearing on the bad check charge until Aug. 25, police revealed the mother is alleged to have passed several worthless checks in downtown department stores. Mrs. Anderson, former wife of Joe Farb, bondsman, is said to claim she believed funds to be in the bank in the name of her second husband. Maurice Anderson, United States army officer, now stationed at Camp Knox, Ky. All the checks were returned by a Jeffersonville (Ind.) bank for lack of funds. At the time of the court battle for custody of the children, both now about 4 years old, Mrs. Anderson lived in Hawaii, where her husband was stationed at fln army post. When notified that Farb, her former husband, filed a complaint to gain custody of the children, then in care of Mrs. Anderson’s parents, the woman hurried to Indianapolis, reaching here two days before the hearing. Farb was denied custody of the children. The children now are in care of Mrs. Anderson's parents. GANNON HITS HOOVER President Loses Support of Bishop. GENEVA. Switzerland, Aug. 18.— President Hoover has lost the support of Bishop James Cannon Jr., a power in carrying southern states for the Republicans in 1928.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

PRINCE SLAIN AS CLIMAX TO THRILLING LIFE Woman With Razor Is Last Chapter in Adventures of Edgar De Bourbon. BY RICHARD M’MILLAN United Press Staff Correspondent PARIS, Aug. 18.—The colorful, adventuresome past of Edgar De Bourbon, reputed son of the Emperor Franz Joseph, intrigued investigators today as they questioned his timid Spanish woman companion who said she killed him on Wednesday with a razor. Senqrita Ondeleria Brau Solor. bespectacled beauty specialist of nearly forty years, w’ho admitted she slashed the "prince” in her hotel apartment after he threatened her with the razor, apparently could furnish no definite information. He held the reputation of an internationel adventurer. Some said he was a son of the late Franz Joseph, and that his mother was Alice de Bourbon. Popular When in U. S. The "prince,” past 60 years old, and somewhat eccentric, had posed ; many years as a member of the Austrian branch of the French royal 1 family. He was once in New' York, where, as Prince Charles Albert Edgar Sergo Caesar de Bourbon, he was widely popular at society affairs. He obtained a high position with the United States navy and, by report, was married to Claire De Cosse | Conger of New York, daughter of | a former minister to China. She | died ten years ago. Their son, ! Rodolph De Bourbon, 30, now sells ! automobiles in Cleveland, O. Police cabled the son today, after having found a letter on the body of his father, addressed and sealed. The letter had not been mailed, detectives said, because the man did not have money to buy stamps. May Have Been in Revolt The newspaper Le Matin said that police are investigating the possibility that the "prince” was involved in the monarchist revolt earlier this tveek in Spain, and that he likewise was sought in the coup d'etat against the late Spanish dictator, Primo Rivera. The "prince,” according to legend, led the Malissori uprising against the Turks and was elected a tribal chieftain in recognition of his services. He was arrested as a spy by the British during 1916, but later was acquitted. NEEDY PAIR IS HELD FOR STEALING FRUIT Recipients of Poor Relief Arrested for Theft of Canned Goods.

LESLIE SIGNS BILL SLASHING TREASURER PAY Salary Reduction Measure Is Held Invalid by Attorney-General. Bill reducing compensation of the Marion county treasurer was signed today by Governor Harry G. Leslie. the general salary reduction bill was held invalid by Attorney-Gen-eral James M. Ogden, and utilities are bombarding the Governor with telegrams urging him to veto the bill, which would smooth the path to public ownership of utilities. Just how much the Marion county! treasurer will be cut by the bill.: which becomes law, is not definite. ] The measures in its original form wa sdesigned to effect a cut from SIOO,OOO to SIO,OOO a year, but amendments adopted are said to make an income of $25,000 annually possible. Among those active in urging signing of the bill was its author. Senator J. Clyde Hoffman (Rep.), Indianapolis; Frank Noll, former Republican member of the house, and William Ciauer, Democratic candidate for treasurer. Ruled Amendatory Bill In holding the general salary bill unconstitutional. Ogden ruled that while it is purported to be an independent bill, it is in reality an amendatory measure. It had been designed to reduce the state pay roll $4,500,000 annually. The bill provides that salaries of three Democrats who now hold state offices shall not be reduced below $6 000 a year, but no mention is m-ide of the salary of the attorneygeneral, an office held now by a Republican, and his pay would be affected by the general provisions. These provide for reductions ranging from 4 to 25 per cent. Among other bills signed today were the following: Eliminating from the anti-lynch-ing statute a provision which made counties liable for personal injuries and property damage resulting from mob disorders. Negroes opposed the change. Utility Bill Faces Veto Measure reducing salaries of Vanderburgh county officials. Stricter gasaoline tax regulation with the object of curbing gasoline bootlegging. Fight of municipalities for an easier road to public ownership of utilities and subsequent reduced rates may be lost today through veto of the remaining Municipal Rights League bill. Although Leslie refused to commit himself regarding the bill, he devoted considerable attention to an opinion from Ogden, holding one of the principal sections invalid for the next five years. Announcement of Leslie's decision was expected today. Ogden held that section of the bill providing for erection of a municipal plant in competition with a private utility could not be effective until a five-year period elapsed. Leslie's proposed "pocket veto” for the pari-mutuel betting bill may be changed to a direct veto since Ogden has held the bill unconstitutional.
