HITLER BRANDS GERMAN TERROR REPORTSFALSE Nazi Leader Offers Defense to Anti-Jewish Drive in Interview. By Timet Spertal NEW YORK, June 23—“ There has been no terror in Germany,” declares Adolph Hitler in an Interview published today by Collier's Weekly, In which he defends himself for his attitude on the Jewish question. "You Americans, too, have an immigration problem,” he continues. “You have made restrictions against immigrants of the sort you don’t want in America. Why are not Americans fair enough to admit that Germans have the same right? "We don't want Jews from eastern Europe. It is for Germans to decide this matter. You Americans make similar restrictions. Why don't Americans show an understanding for questions of this kind?

Violence Is Past "How can any American believe, for instance, the tales told before the reichstag election of the terrorizing of voters by the National Socialists, in view of the fact that 90 per cent of the Germans, entitled to vote, actually went to the polls. Under a reign of terror people don’t go to the polls. They stay home. "Whatever violence there was now is past. Perfect calm reigns in Germany. Not a street has been destroyed, not a house. "We have Communists in Germany who would not be allowed in America. You w’ouldn’t tolerate what we have been forced to endure from Communists. Americans should view isternational problems from the viewpoint of other nations. I know this isn't easy, but only thus can understanding come. Berlin Is Volcano "If only Americans could come over here! They would look about and ask themselves, ‘Where is this revolution, where is this terror, where is all this destruction and chaos we’ve heard about?”’ Nevertheless, says the Collier’s interviewer T. R. Ybarra, looking around Berlin after his talk with Chancellor Hitler, life in Berlin still resembles sitting on the edge of a volcano. "At the time of my talk with Hitler,” explains Mr. Ybarra, "there was no indication of a cessation of anti-Jewish persecution. Daily lists were being published of professors dismissed from universities, many of whom are Jews with nothing else against them. “A big chain-store firm and other companies were being obliged to close temporarily because their Nazi employes had struck against Jewish control. "At the headquarters of a big publishing house, a procession of striking employes surged through the corridors shouting, ‘We want all Jewish bosses fired!’ Here, as else-

KIDNAPER HUNT SPURRED BY REWARD

Business men of St. Paul, Minn., have offered rewards of $30,000 for apprehension of the kidnapers of William Hamm Jr., wealthy brewer, shown here, right, as he returned after payment of ransom. He is shaking hands with W. W. Dunn, brewery business manager, who negotiated with the kidnapers.

where, there was nothing to do but obey. “Many Jews, being dismissed after years of faithful service, now were besieging the offices of Americans in business in Berlin, seeking work. The fruits of a lifetime of toil had been snatched from them—in many cases they faced destitution—and often men who formerly had held the most important and best-paid positions were telling Americans that they were willing to do anything for wages no better than an office boy’s. “Some observers believe that the situation inside the Hitlerist ranks is another case of Frankenstein and his monster. They feel that, because Hitler for years has been promising his adherents that Jews would be uprooted and all opposition crushed, and that foreigners should be shown the temper of a new Germany, he was obliged to make good his violent promises.”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

KENNETH BUCK LINKS M’MATH TO JODNAPING Plot Engineered So Father Could Get Money, He Tells Court. By United Press BARNSTABLE. Mass., Kenneth Buck, 28, jobless chauffeur charged with the kidnaping of 10-year-old Peggy McMath, testified late Thursday that he became involved in the case only after a bootlegger told him Neil C. McMath, - Peggy's father, “needed money and this was the only way to get it.” The bootlegger was known to him only as “Bill,” Buck said, and informed him “that it was not a real kidnaping, as McMath knew all about it.” Kenneth testified after his older brother, Cyril, 41, also charged with the abduction for $60,000 ransom. He testified that “Bill” first approached him at Hyannis in regard to a bootlegging deal. The deal, he said, developed into a kidnap plot, with “Bill” assuring him that McMath was aware of it and wanted money from relatives in Detroit. Breaks Down and Weeps “Bill,” Buck said, gave him detailed instructions as to how to go about the kidnaping. He told him to blacken his face with burnt cork before going to the Harwich Center school, where Peggy was seized, and to wear his chauffeur’s uniform. Kenneth said he asked ‘‘Bill’ how he knew he had a chauffeur’s uniform, and “Bill” replied McMath had told him of it. Several times during his sensational recital, the witness broke down and wept. The stranger, Kenneth said, asked him to store 800 cases of liquor for $1 a case. During his search for a storage place, he continued, he entered the vacant small estate, where Peggy eventually was concealed, and decided it might be a suitable spot for storing liquor. ‘Not Beal,' He Says “I told Bill about the places I had found for the liquor,” Kenneth said, “and Bill said, ‘forget it, I have a real job for you and you can make SIO,OOO. All you’ve got to do is wait for a girl at school and take her and hold her a couple of days for ransom.” “I said to Bill I didn’t care to have anything to do with a kidnaping, and he said I didn’t have to worry because this was not a real kidnaping. Bill told me about the McMath girl and that her father knew r all about it, that it was all planned and if I got in any trouble McMath would help me. “He said McMath needed money and that he couldn’t borrow any and that this was the only way he could get it from some relatives. Then he told me to think it over, but if I mentioned a word about it he would kill me.” Police Were “Too Active” Kenneth then described Peggy’s kidnaping and her concealment at a shack in a cranberry bog. “Bill” met him there he said, and told him he did not dare get in touch wfith McMath because the police were too active. The witness said he was told to take the girl to the small estate and hide her for a few days. “He told me to take care of her,” Kenneth said, “and make it look like a real kidnaping and get a contact man and said I must not mention to this man anything—to him it must be real. He told me to ask for $250,000 and I would get $70,000. I was to get SIO,OOO, the contact man SIO,OOO, and I was to hold $50,000 for Bill.” He brought food to Peggy’, hidden in the half-cellar of the small estate, he said, and stayed all night. Peggy told him, he said, that “she didn’t mind because she was used to crawding under houses.” Next day, he said, he w f ent to his brother Cyril’s garage, bringing a note from Peggy telling him he was “hooked up” with the kidnaping. At this point Judge Hanify adjourned court until today because the witness was tired. MAN KILLED IN~BLAST Garage Owner Dies Intsantly; Five Others Injured.
