EUROPE ‘SCARED STIFF’ AS HITLER STARTS ON PROGRAM TO RESTORE GERMAN POWER Neighbors Will Remain Disturbed Until They Learn ‘Which Way Cat Will Jump’; Nazi Chief Holds Continent’s Fate in Hand. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Srripos-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.—Armed with his twenty-five-point plan for dynamiting 1 a way to a place in the sun for Germany, the reich’s new Nazi chancellor, Adolf Hitler, has Europe scared stiff. As King Victor Emmanuel 111 of Italy bowed to the inevitable when Benito Mussolini marched on Rome a decade ago, President Von Hindenburg has yielded to the fiery Fascist, and an entire continent waits in wonder and fear to see what use Herr Hitler will make of his power.

Here are some of the principal points in the Hitler program: 1. Revision of the treaty of Versailles and no more reparations. 2. Union with Austria—in fact, union of all Germans. 3. Abolition of the Polish corridor, and the return of German colonies. 4. Equality in the matter of armaments with France and Germany's other neighbors. 5. Supjierssion of German Communists. 6. Expulsion of foreigners, if there is not enough work to go around. Would Socialize Business 7. Socialization of large factories, department stories and big estates needed for the common good. 8. Control of the press. Reform of parliamentary regime. 9. Abolition or confiscation of war profits, agrarian reforms, care for mothers, children, aged and infirm. 10. Religious freedom, apparently for all save the Jews. Smacking a little of everything— Socialism, Communism, radicalism and reaction, the Hitlerites’ program Is so shot through rampant nationalism that her neighbors will remain on needles and pins until they see which way the new German cat is going to jump. The wonder Is, will Herr Hitler tone down, now that the responsibility for peace or war is his? The fear, however, is that, intoxicated by his fantastic rise from a nobody to the post of Bismark, he will embark upon a course as mad as. it almostly certainly would prove bloody. War Would Be Easy With a flip of his hand, he could have a war with France. At a word, he could bring on a conflict with Poland. A gesture would bring back the Hohenzollerns to their throne. Behind Herr Hitler are some 600,000 brownshirts, young, eager, hot-headed, the counterpart of Mussolini’s blackshirts, organized in companies, battalions, regiments, brigades, divisions and armies. In Prussia, under Hermann Goering, a zealous Hitlerite now in the cabinet, are 150,000 police—really soldiers. On President Von Hindenburg’s side, presumably at least, is the minister of defense, General Von Bloomberg and the regular German army of 100,000 men, trained as no other army in the world is trained. And former Chancellor Von Papen now is vice-chancellor and the reich's commissioner in Prussia. That gives him certain control over Herr Goerings police. Hinges on Whim of One Man This lineup only adds to the portentousness of the question mark overwhelming Germany. Probably not since the heydey of the kaiser has so much depended upon the mere whim of one man, and he an unknown quantity. Herr Hitler has been called a swashbuckler and a blowhard. Some admit he can throw an audience into frenzy by his "gift of gab.” But, these have warned that once he sat in the seats of the mighty and had to turn his promises into deeds, lie would collapse like a toy balloon. Others have prophesied that, given authority, he would show the world. MINE VOTE RE-ELECTING JOHN LEWIS COUNTED Hoosier Is Named to Important Committee, Tally Shows. Upon completion of the counting of votes cast by United Mine Workers, Dec. 12, in an international election, officers elected for twoyear terms, beginning April 1, were announced Monday. John L.

Saloons? Might as Well “Bone Dry” Wright no Longer Certain State Wants to Keep Prohibition. “If beer is to be sold in Indiana it might as well be sold in saloons.” Inat is the way Frank Wright, one-time G. O. P. representative and father of the famed Wright “bone dry” law, feels about it. He said so today when he visited the legislative halls.

For Wright knows that his law is due for repeal this session, and ha is not even being consulted regarding it. The only question seems to be whether it shall be repealed with or without draught beer. No longer is Wright so sure about Indiana going dry on a referendum either. “You see another generation has grown up and they do not realize how bad the old wet days were,” Wright explained. "It may be we will have to bring back booze to prove to them that it can not be controlled before we again turn to prohibition for keeps. "But this idea that beer can be sold and not have saloons is silly. In fact, it will be worse than if saloons were brought back. For there always were young persons who were ashamed to be seen entering a saloon, who will not mind going into restaurants and hotels to drink.” HOUSE COMMITTEE TO PASS UTILITY BILLS Several Amendments to Be Made, Chairman Says. Two bills for reorganization ot the public service commission and municipal ownership of utilities will be recommended to the hou e of representatives for passage. Representative William J. Black (Dcm.. Anderson), chairman cf Judiciary B committee, said following a public hearing Monday night. Majority of speakers or Monday night represented utilities opposed to municipal ownership. They were Clyde Jones, Indianapolis attorney for the Public Service Company of Indiana; John T. Beasley, Terre Haute, president of the Indiana Gas Utility Company, and Charles A. Edwards, president of water companies at Vincennes and Greencastle. The public service commission reorganization bill reduces the size of the commission from five to three and creates a public counsel. It is an administration measure. Jones warned the committee :hat competition of municipally owned utilities with private utilities will mean confiscation of the latter’s property in many communities. The committee expects to make several amendments in both bills.

STRIP ANNEXING RULED ILLEGAL Four-Mile Track Not Part of City, Is Verdict of Judge. A strip of ground one foot wide and four miles long, annexed by the city council to connect the city and the municipal airport, is not a part or the city, Superior Judge Clarence E. Weir ruled today . Weir upheld fifteen property holders living along the strip, who contended the city had no right to annex the strip as “contiguous territory.” Through Fred Allgood, petitioner, ’.he property owners sought a court cider that will relieve them of city taxes on property adjacent to the strip. Weir explained his ruling does net affect validity of the annexation of the airport property, since the legislature has passed a law giving the city council authority to arc:: territory not contiguous to the city. state Tax LAWS TOO GENEROUS, is charge Educational) Religious and Charitable Groups Target of C. of C. Legislative assistance to cure tax exemption evils is desired by the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, according to a statement made today by Louis J. Borinstein, president. Claim that many properties owned by educational, religious and charitable organizations produce substantial revenue and, therefore, should not be exempt from taxation is made by Borinstein. Indiana's laws are too generous, he asserted, and should be revamped to correspond to modern conditions. He said much property owned by educational, religious and charitable organizations actually is not used for these purposes, but is commercial.

HOUSE PASSES 1 BANKRUPTCY REFORM BILL Congress Moving Away From Inflation; Measured Purpose Simple. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER I nitcd l*rcss Stall Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. —As President-Elect Franklin Roosevelt's improvised machinery begins to move toward easing the debts, of foreign nations, the more noisy j wheels of congress likewise are beginning to turn in the direction of reducing the equally staggering debt burden of impoverished American citizens. The first major move was the action of the house in passing the j bankruptcy reform bill. Monday, j 201 to 43. It is a ccmplicated bill with a simple purpose. That pur- j pose is to permit an individual, an industrial corporation, or a railroad to go into court and get relief j from boom day debts without j necessarily being deprived of then-. last shirt in the process. Other equally significant bills are being considered to revise farm mortgages downward, to refinance them with federal money at re- ; dueed interest rates. Steering From Inflation The bankruptcy bill probably will be enacted at the present short ses- j sion, and if so it will provide im- j mediate ways of easing the predica- | ment of thousands of debt-ridden citizens. The other mortgage scaling meas- j ures may go over until the special j session. But in some form they are j likely to be enacted eventually. Congress, thus, is moving in one j of the two ways left open to it in the present emergency. The other way would have been toward infla- I tion. Word has circulated that Mr. Roosevelt is fearful of the results of inflation, of the danger of it get- : ting beyond control and of causing more harm than good. New Problem Feared One danger seen by some in inflation is that while it would enable debts to be paid off in cheaper dol- j lars, there is the possibility of a j simultaneous kiting of retail prices [ which would put the wage earners, i the farmer and the small-salaried man up against anew high cost of living problem. So the tendency in congress now is to forego, at least for the present, attempts to print more dollars and to work on the alternative of reducing debts. ‘‘Every one might as well be prepared to accept the situation,” said Senator Robert F.. Wagner (Dent., N. Y. >, in discussipg this problem. “Those who hold farm mortgages I and railroad securities will have to j face the situation. Eventually institutions like insurance companies I must be prepared to accept smaller returns than originally anticipated, and it may be that in the end this will be reflected in smaller dividends to policy-holders.” S. W. KEENE, 81, DEAD Retired Salesman Taken at Home; Survived by Son and Sister. Samuel W. Keene, 81, of 1327 Park avenue, a resident of Indian- j apolis for twenty-five years, and a j retired salesman for Warner Broth- : ers Company, corset manufacturers, died Monday at his home. Funeral services will be held at 10 ; Wednesday morning at the home. Burial will be in Crown Hill cemetery. He is survived by a son, Dr. T. Victor Keene, Indianapolis physician, and a sister, Miss Amy Keene, a teacher at Washington high school.

ANNUALMUTUR SHUW TU UPEN ! HERE SATURDAY Majority of Auto Plants Will Be Represented With Exhibits. Assignment of space for the ; twenty-second annual Indianapolis i automobile show, which opens at the state fairground Saturday, was begun today, E. G. Henry, manager of the Indianapolis Automobile Trade Association, announced. Prospects for nearly 100 per cent ; representation of automobiles now j being manufactured are exceedingly j bright at time for opening the show draws near. Henry stated. It is certain that at least two dozen | makes of passenger cars would be i shown, along with several conynercial lines. It is expected by trade officials that by the time the doors odou to the public at 10 o'clock Saturday morning, practically all available 'pace for exhibits will have been contracted. Special exhibits being sent here by factories from the show in Chicago and other large cities in the middle-west will require considerable floor area, Henry said, which, added to space for exhibiting the new cars has caused some manufacturers to increase their demands over last year. Among passenger cars now in product ion considered likely exhibitors at the local show are Chrysler, Willys, Dodge. Plymouth, DeSoto. Pierce-Arrow, Rco, Rockne, Buick, | Oldsmobile, Pontiac. Chevrolet, I Ford. Studebaker, Marmon, Stutz, I Continental. Graham, Lincoln. Nash, j Terraplane, Hudson. Austin. Packj ard. Auburn. Cadillac and LaSalle, j In the commercial field exhibits j will be confined largely to smaller | models of Dodge. Fed and Chevroi let, although heavier models in the j Stewart line will be shown. The exhibit will be open daily, j including Sunday, from 10 a. m. to 10:30 p. m„ and will close officially Friday night, Feb. 10. Do you want used furniture and 1 tool store?

ed by the chemists, bacteriologists, and pharmacologists of their 16 allied organizations in America, England and Germany. Mild Enough, Strong Enough These chemists examined the whole field of oral antiseptics. Some they found were too weak. A few were too strong for regular u.-c in the mouth. Most were very goed. But all were much too expensive. So they produced a balanced antiseptic—mild enough to be used daily without risk to delicate membranes; yet strong enough to do everything an oral antiseptic can and should do. For All the Usual Uses You can use Vicks Antiseptic in your customary way, for bad breath • halitosis); as a mouth-wash; as a gargle; as an antiseptic lotion, for minor cuts and abrasions; and for all the other customary uses of an antiseptic of this type. And Vicks Antiseptic has this additional unique advanetge . . . born in a depression year, it is priced accordingly. The regular size is a large 10-ounce bottle—a usual 75c value—for only 35c.—Advertisement.
