HITLER RULE EXTENDED TO ALL INDUSTRY Nazi Chief Will Control Economic Structure, Top to Bottom. RESTRICTS PROFESSIONS Every Line of German Life to Be Guided by Will of Dictator. BY CLIFFORD DAY t nltcri Prr„ MafT Correspondent BERLIN, April 8 -The Nazi drive for absolute economic control of Germany is extending from top to bottom of the economic structure, it became evident today. Hitlerites started assuming domination over agrarian organizations and trade unions as they already had moved to control executive groups. Throughout the reich the artisan chambers, similar to American chambers of commerce, are being reorganized with Nazi sympathizers in control, in much the same manner that the once omnipotent federation of German industries was forced earlier to eliminate ts managing president, Ludwig Kastl, to make room for a Nazi confidante. The economic phase of the “ counter revolution” of Chancellor Adolf Hitler still is in its infancy, having had to wait for the more important political phase. In Control of All Life Now the political side almost is completed as a result of a cabinet law that practically eliminates the Federation of German States and creates in its stead a unified Germany under the utter dominance of Berlin—which means, of Hitler. The last step in eliminating final traces of republicanism in the government, came with passage of a law by the cabinet which permits the Nazis to remove at will any civil service employe, who entered the government service after the republic was established. Now the brown shirts are being placed in control of industrial, agricultural and vocational life throughout the reich. Agrarian organizations already were leaning toward the Hitler regime. but now they are being pulled wholly into line. Hitler in Supreme Control Trade unions, it was learned, will be ‘ adapted" to new conditions. Hitlerite representation in all organizations in the same ratio as the Nazi strength in the reichstag is being demanded; and with Communists barred from reichstag membership, that means absolute Nazi control. Professional organizations of lawyears, physicians and artists are meeting the same treatment. In the Langnam Verein. which represents Rhenish Westphalian industries, Hitler agente have been appointed to supervise every branch, including coal, iron and chemicals. In one drastic enabling act the cabinet practically has eliminated the Federation of German States that formed the empire created by Bismarck and the republic created by the Weimar constitution, substituting in its place a unified Germany under the utter dominance of Berlin. Berlin Appoints Governors Hitler was expected immediately to nominate Nazi governors for all the states. His nominees will be appointed bv the reich president. These governors will be empowered to dissolve state diets, fix new elections, prepare and promulgate state laws, appoint and discharge judges and other officials, and issue pardons. They and their cabinets will not be subject to misconfidence votes in their diets and their salaries will be paid by the reich. Restrictions against the Jewish people found their newest manifestation in Munich, where Adolph Wagner. Bavarian minister of interior. issued a decree barring Jewish mrdiral students from Bavarian universities. The decree restricted the admission of candidates to 34<* a year, declaring that, the supply of doctors was sufficient for German needs for the next nine years.

INDIANAPOLIS, SATURDAY, APRIL 8, 1933

At the Claypool grill two elderly ladies sat in a corner until late at night quaffing their brew contentedly. A trio of college girls stepped into Pop June’s and, giggling, ordered sandwiches and glasses of “it.” Women drinking the new brewmade up at least 50 per cent of the crowd at. Monninger's, the Severin, the Linco.n, Antlers, Lockerbie and other hotels and restaurants. Thousands of people Friday walked or rode downtown to make the rounds. A crowd of taxi drivers assembled outside the popular bars, soliciting trade.

The action precipitated a crisis in W’hich Soviet officials immediately wired the commissary of railroads at Moscow for instructions. Manchoukuo officials authorized that the connection be severed after they had failed to receive satisfactory answers to their charges that the Russians were carrying rolling stock into Soviet territory, and not returning it. The dispute had raged for months, marked by earlier charges that Russia was making unauthorized shipments of arms over the Chinese Eastern railway, which has been operated jointly by the Japaneseguided government of Manchoukuo and the Soviet. Director Rudy of the control bureau, Vice-Chief Director Kuzunetsov and the Russian consul-general, Salvtsky, held a hurried conference at Manchuli. They telegraphed Moscow a copy of the Manchoukuoan order, and awaited instructions before deciding upon a course of action. Meanwhile the Manchoukuo foreign commissioner ordered an official protest drawn up for Slavtsky, pointing out that his communications department had failed to negotiate for a settlement of differences.

STATE FIGHTS MOONEY TRIAL Forces April 15 Hearing for Ruling From Court on Double Jeopardy. By United Press SAN FRANCISCO, April 8. Hearing on whether trial of Tom Mooney on murder charges April 26 would constitute double jeopardy for Mooney was set for April 15 Friday by Superior Judge Louis Ward. Ward ordered the April 26 trial when Mooney's attorneys demanded that the prisoner be tried on a sixteen-year-old indictment charging him with the Preparedness day bombing of July 22, 1916. Mooney is already serving a life sentence on conviction of the crime. Judge Ward set the double jeopardy hearing when John OGara, former assistant district attorney, declared the new trial would be a waste of public money, as the prisoner could plead double jeopardy and escape sentence if convicted. “O'Gara should know that the right not to be tried twice for the same offense is a privilege the defendant may waive,” Leo Gallagher, Mooney attorney, said. Mooney never will set up such a defense.” Mooney, who has maintained he is innocent of the crime, sought a new trial in confidence he would be acquitted, and could use the verdict in demanding a pardon from the conviction on which he now is serving life.

"I look for beer to be more than just a wedge in the push against the depression. It's funny, but the women are more curious about the beer than the men. "Hundreds of women here today were not content with just any beer, they wanted to sample them all. We nad some heated discussions on the merits of the various brands.”

Ochoa brooded over his real or fancied wrongs at I the hands of Sos Cerona, 42, of 427 | West New York street, a Spaniard, ! and went to Ceronas home with a large knife. Cerona told police Ochoa struck him and then drew the knife. Due to the inability of officers Charles Winkler and Harry Hayes to understand Spanish, they were unable to learn what the fight was about. They arrested Ochoa on charges of drunkenness, drawing a deadly weapon and assault and battery. UTIUTY COMPANY SUED SIOO,OOO Damages Sought by Stinesville Stone Company.

BOMB SHAKES BIGBREWERY Chicago Blast Is Laid to Gangsters or Disgruntled Job Seeker. By l imes Special CHICAGO, April B.—A bomb was hurled today at the Prima Brewing Company, one of the city’s largest beer manufacturing plants, barely twenty-four hours after the new beverage became legal. No one was injured, although the plant was in full operation. Damage was estimated at $1,500. First theory was that the bomb was thrown by gangsters as a warning against interference with their illegal beer trade. There was also a possibility, police said, that the blast was caused by a disappointed dealer, who did not get his supplies rapidly enough in the first rush for beer. The blast struck at a doorway of a bottling and storeroom. It shook the entire brewing plant. Workmen, on night shift, were in nearby buildings. Apparently, police said, the bomb was exploded by a time fuse. Mathew Enrst, chief engineer and a director of the company, said he had no difficulty with gangsters and had received no threats.

Breakfast customers were waiting this morning when many of the downtown beer ; dispensaries opened, and the J pre-luncheon crowds promised ,to again diminish stocks j which would not stand the I strain Friday. William E. Clauer, importer estij mated today that approximately 16.000 cases of various brands were consumed in Indianapolis Friday, but could not place any figure on the amount that will be shipped in today from Louisville, Milwaukee, Chicago and St. Louis. Based on Clauer's estimate, approximately $65,000 was spent FriI day on beer alone, and no computa- | tion could be made of the amount I expended on food and in allied industries. Bars Again Crowded The Saratoga Bar. one of the mast popular resorts Friday, had patrons waiting when it opened at 6, and the bar was jammed again by 8. The place started serving beer at 9 p. m. Friday after its stock ran out several times during the day, and supplied a steady stream of customers until 2 a. m. Again today at Monninger's, Ohio near Illinois street, the bar was I lined three and four deep before 10, | with the prospect that the luncheon I trade in Berghoff would surpass j Friday’s. j Claypool. Lincoln and Severin hoI tels downtown reported they had | plenty of beer on hand for the noon | rush, the Severin having ordered 100 cases for a private party tonight. Chicago's Atlas beer made its appearance today at Joe Stahr's St. i Elmo Case, 127 South Illinois street, and Chicago’s Prima was being sold jat several downtown resorts. Price Remains at 20 Cents Clauer said 800 cases of Pabst from Milwaukee and l 200 cases of Edelweiss from Columbus, 0., were among the new brands received today. Klee & Coleman, Falls City beer distributors, said they had 700 cases on hand at 6 today and this supply had dwindled to fifteen at 9. The company anticipated a supply of 500 more cases this morning. It disposed of 1,800 cases FYiday and could have filled more orders. Prices of 20 cents a bottle continued to prevail at most of the restaurants, but some were dispensing miniature sandwiches with a bottle at 15 cents for both. One downtown bartender worked so hard filling early morning orders he suffered an attack of epilepsy and was removed to a hospital. Intoxication Rate Low Representative Fred S. Galloway <Dem, Marion;, who sponsored the first and unsuccessful Wright repeal bill in the Indiana legislature, said he made a personal surrey of drinking conditions Friday night and found only one intoxicated person. He did not know whether beer or harder liquor was responsible for the lone drunk he saw, Galloway said. Approximately 125.000 barrels of beer were consumed throughout the nation Friday, according to estimates by Joseph Dubin, editor of the Brewery Age. Dubin said Friday's sales constituted about onefourth of the total supply of beer on hand. This he stimated at 3,000,000 barrels. Sixty-nine carloads of beer moved out of Milwaukee early this morning, bound for middle west cities. No estimate on the Chicago shipments could be made. Take It at Breakfast So anxious were many to dnnK the newly legalized beverage that they upset all precedent by having beer at breakfast. This was the report from Tom Buskirk, 128 East Court street, and the Fendrick lunchroom in the Terminal building. These places reported large stocks on hand and that business Friday night was heavy. Buskirk. whose place is a rendezvous for attorneys and business men, commented today that women were plentiful among his patrons Friday night, those past their youth being most numerous. However, he said, "fellows and their girls” were fairly plentiful among the drinkers.
