INFLATION IS DEMANDED BY COTTON GROUP Southern Farmers Threaten Strike If Pleas Are Not Needed. RAP AGRICULTURAL PLAN Currency Increase Proposal Greeted by Thunder of Approval. BY THOMAS L. STOKES Tim.. Correspondent WASHINGTON. Sept. 19—President Roosevelt was confronted today with the vanguard of the inflationist army in the persons of southern congressmen and a number of dirt farmers who are demanding expansion of the currency and talking of a cotton farmers strike if thev don't get what they want The capital awaited, with rather tense expectation, some inUmsfiwn the chief executive on inflation. He will have the opportunity when the farmers' delegation representing eleven southern states march to the White House to present resolutions adopted Monday in solemn convention demanding "immediate currency expansion - ’ to raise the price of cotton and other farm Products They also carried to the White House a biting attack on the President's agricultural program, as it affects cotton. This was in a resolution asking that the cotton processing tax be suspended until Jan. 1 on the ground it is being paid by the farmer. This was adopted with a few timid, sotto-voce “Noes ” The inflation resolution, asking that the President use his power to issue treasury notes, went over with a thunder of "Ayes." Mild Inflation Purpose Usually reliable administration authorities were of the opinion today that the administration practically has decided upon a mild inflationary program upon which it would embark shortly before congress met, if conditions had not improved sufficiently to still the farm clamors. The redoubtable and persistent Senator Elmer Thomas <Dem., Okla.. who engineered the convention here, said today he had received responses from 150 members of congress in his poll of that body. Ninety-five per cent of them are for inflation, he said. Because of the present uncertainty of administration financial policy, it was doubtful President Roosevelt would tell his visitors anything today. He may not even see them because of his illness. H° was unable to see them Monday night, though they were all for rushing over to the White House immediately with their complaints. The farmer delegation also plans to call upon Agriculture Secretary Henry H. Wallace. Condemn Processing Tax They adopted the resolution condemning the cotton processing tax despite a warning from Representative Miles Allgood iDem.. Ala.), that Wallace was arbitrary” on that point and resolutions would not move him. "Wallace doesn't make the cotton —we make the cotton.” shouted back Senator Ellison D. Smith ,Dem.. S. C.‘. who was chairman and jammed through the resolution by main force and some rather fancy oratory. The inflation resolution, which bore the stamp of Senator Thomas throughout, declared that the present price of cotton jeopardizes the national recovery program and said that currency expansion is necessary to restore the farmer's buying power. It urged inflation to bring 20cent cotton with the proviso that If inflation failed to do that, then the price be fixed at 15 cents. The farmers named S3O a ton as the price of cotton seed. It recommended that hereafter the cotton reduction be on the basis of bales instead of acreage and that Wallace fix 9.000.000 bales as the crop for 1934 and fix the necessary figure for 1935.

STATUS OF WOMEN CHANGED BY HITLER

Girls Quit Political and Economic Work as Nazis Stress Homelife

Thi* i* the eichth of • series of stories an Hitler and Germany. BY GEORGE BRITT Times Special Writer. THE countess' butler clicked his heels, thrust one gloved hand behind his back, bowed sUffly at the waist and passed a sidecar. The countess herself, a beautiful slim blond neurotic, was having brandy and soda. "Americans don't understand Hitler,” she said. "He is such a wonderful man. In private life he is almost shy; but he is so magnetic, so brilliant, has such power to move people and carry them out of themselves! He is in love with Frau Winifred Wagner and she with him, bift he's too busy to marry yet. "The Jews? Well, let them go back to Jerusalem or anywhere they want to. They’ve done enough harm here They were taking everything Yes, we had a Jewish doctor and a Jewish lawyer, but now we have German Christians. “If Hitler hadn’t stepped in exactly when lie did. everything would have been finished. The Communists w r ould have had us. I've got some things written down here to tell you about. First of all. the brown shirts and the arbeits camps. Have you heard about them? Boys in the poorer classes were becoming Communists and getting into all sorts of mischief, and Hitler started this to keep them busy. “And the girls were growing up without any morals at all. There was all this nudism. I suppose you have heard of it. Hitler right away put a stop to that and to cases like the El Dorado, horrible places. “Every little girl in Germany wanted a job and to make money, and he is sending them home. When you read about his ordering women not to use powder and hpstick, that means these little snippy girls. He's right. What business have they got to make up? It's all right for women of the proper age.” a a u THE countess, I think, deserves to be quoted at such length because she reflects so completely the conservative upper-class feminine attitude toward Hitler. One evening in Munich at the little coffee house next to the Volks theater, w-here all the waiters are ex-vaudevillians, I listened to the opinions of a girl university student, member of the Studentenbund, an enthusiastic Nazi sympathizer. She sat with a German lad just across the table from me. Alertly she looked around the room through the smoke of her cigaret, and pretty soon she was talking. "Women were going too far,” she said. "They were crowding men out of the professions. Yes, I know' there are 2.000.000 more women than men in Germany, and they must support themselves. But they can do womanly work, such as teaching, nursing and social service. "I am studying history and I expect to teach. The new restrictions on woman's careers do not arouse resentment in me. I approve. And this drive to increase the birth rate is not a desire to produce soldiers. It is to raise the percentage of pure Nordic elements in our population.” “You are such a good Nazi,” I interrupted. "I should think you wouldn't be smoking. Hasn’t Hitler sent out word that 'Deutsche frauen raucht nicht.’ ” She laughed and blushed. Then she turned up the lapel on her blouse and showed on the under side her swastika pin, symbol of allegiance.”

Girl Kidnaping Suspects Deny Charges in Hearing

Bad Business Cotton Laborer Finds No Profits in Sale of Wares for $1.50. Bu United Prcgf WASHINGTON. Sept. 19.—Congressmen and farmers came here to ask for inflation, and one of them described the attitude of cotton producers with this story: A Negro took his six bales of cotton to the gin. After it had been ginned, the seed and cotton sold, and crop debts paid, the gin man gave Charlie $1.50. Charlie carefully scrutinized the bill and the silver piece in his horny palm. “What's the matter, Charlie?” the gin-man asked. "Well, suh,” Charlie replied, “ah wuz jist thinkin’ bout my dollah and so bits, and ah wuz sayin’ to mahself. Cha’Ue, the nixt time you sez git up to a mule, hit gonna have to be sittin in yo lap.’”

I’ll quit just as soon as she government gives mp enough to get along on without work.” One Sunday afternoon in Berlin there was a typical Nazi sport event, an endurance march for young storm troopers through the city streets. Each lad was fully uniformed and carried an infantryman’s field pack, a back-break-ing burden, over a thirty-five kilometer course on one of the hottest afternoons of the summer. Hundreds of young Nazis took part, and the curbstones were lined with admirers, just as at a wartime parade. At almost every corner as I watched along the Unter den Linden and the Friedrichstrasse there was a sympathizer offering a lump of ice, a glass of water, half a lemon, anything to refresh the weary marchers. Most of these refreshment givers were women. nan ON any Sunday anywhere in Germany may be seen truckloads of "Hitler Jugend,” the "Hitler Youth.” successors of Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, out for a day in the country and a lesson in Nazi patriotism. Their uniforms are as nearly like the adult Nazi costume as a tailor can design them and they have a Germanic fondness for marching in parades with a flag. The trucks are provided by the general Hitler Youth organization, which the government carefully encourages. One hears a shout in the street as they roll home from the country in the evening. They are singing. At the corner all arms are thrust upward in salute to the

policeman and he gives them “Heil Hitler” in return. The Hitler regime has made the most sweeping changes in the direction of restricting the activities of women and of supercharging the children with propaganda. And in spite of the restrictions and of the tendency to undo all the legal and social advantages bestowed by the preceding socialist regime, German women by the million are strong Hitler supporters. When the Hitler movement began to assume ominous size a few years ago, a special appeal was made for woman votes, in some of the elections it was estimated that naif of Hitler's strengtn came from women. Now he has ordered women to get out of political and economic lue, and heard none of his admirers complaining. The reichstag contained twen-ty-one woman members. ine tnirteen woman Socialists were the first to go. Now ail the others are out. Pressure has been brought against business houses to eliminate women to the irreducible minimum. Married women are to have no choice about getting out, while married men are to receive special preferences. The Hamburg tobacco firm Reemtsma patriotically offered a present of 600 marxs to each girl employe who gets married and quits her job before Dec. 1. Only men are to be engaged for replacement. it a a THE government’s widely advertised help-for-marriage plan runs in the same direction. To each girl who gives up a job and gets married, agreeing not to go back to w'oric, a loan will be made up to 1,000 marks, repayable in small installments at 1 per cent interest, the money to be allowed in the form of credit for buying furniture and household necessities. Each child born of the marriage will serve as complete cancellation of 250 marks of the debt, releasing from all obligation to repay that amount. Hardened bachelors, both men and women, who remain single in spite of all encouragement and caolery, must pay a special income tax of 3 per cent. The list of women is to be permeated by Nazi thinking, however, just as are the impressionable minds of children. New Germanic dances are to be encouraged, to the exclusion of such popular importa-

A three-way automobile accident in which a car driven by Thomas McCormick. 31, of 25 North Greely street, struck two other cars on W T hite River boulevard today resulted in McCormick facing four charges. He was arrested on charges of intoxication, drunken driving, reckless driving and no driver's license. Paul Dcrey, 18 Vicksburg, Mich., sustained a leg injury and cuts on his head when he was struck by a car driven by Harry Chapman. 20. of 4810 Winthrop avenue, at Thirtyeighth and Meridian streets Monday night. Anohter pedestrian injured was Earl Forbis, 14. of 466 North Randolph street, who ran into the pain of a car driven by Rowe Grogg. 29, of 1936 Tallman avenue, at Massachusetts avenue and Tenth street. Forbis, who sustained minor injuries, was taken to his home by police.

A Times reporter obey-% the summons. Walking into the office on the fourth floor of the K. of P. building, he found three men. He asked for "Doc.” "They call me - Doc.’ How do you do?" one of the men said, j rising and extending his hand. "I understand this is Klan headquarters,” ventured the reporter. a a a SMILING agreeably, Doc asked, • Who sent you?” At the reply that the visitor represented The Times.

tions as the tango and the fox trot New Germanic styles are to be promoted. The latter activity is the special function of the Deutsche Mode, amt, headed by a former wool dealer, Dr. Hans Horst. Not financially supported by the government, still it is instigated and encouraged to the fullest. The handsome wife of Propaganda Minister Goeobels was for a time the honorary president. At the beginning of this attempt at a declaration of independence from Paris styles, 300 German designers were called in—admittedly not so renowned nor so experienced as Parisian modistes, but the best available in Germany. Each was asked to submit three independent designs for dresses, suits or accessories. Late in summer, after the Paris openings, the result, the first distinctive German style show, was to be held in Berlin. The stage for the show was to be one of the big exhibit halls at the Berlin zoo. “I read American fashion papers every day,” said Dr. Horst, the style pioneer. “We are extremely interested in what your American designers are doing. HUB artists were instructed to V-F be independent in all details. There was only one rule which could have restricted them in any way.. We want them to use as much German-made material as possible. This means their materials and effects should favor native products. “Germany is especially good for laces, feathers, flowers, embroideries, artcraft buttons, velvet. These are the materials we want used. Otherwise. Nazi styles will be simply the best-looking styles our people can devise.”

Gospel —At $5,000 Per Aimee Comes to Big Town and Sin Takes to Cover on Old Times Square. BY H. ALLEN SMITH United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Sept. 19—Sin took cover in Times Square today as Aimee Sempie McPherson Hutton arrived to spread the Gospel along wicked, wicked Broadway at $5,600 a week Sister Aimee will appear Friday at the Capitol theater with an act in which she will do nothing but preach. "

The California evangelist was reluctant to discuss her marriage troubles with David Hutton, but she managed to leave the distinct impression that Hutton, who is appearing in Brooklyn as a crooner at the same time she is making her appearance on Broadway, is trying to cash in on her fame. a tt tt SISTER AIMEE'S arrival at the Grand Central Terminal was a thing to behold- Dozens of reporters and cameramen were present and it took at least four policemen to assist her in getting through the crowd. When she finally reached the clear, she beamed upon the cops, shook hands with each of them and gave all of them a ringing “God bless you!”

derstand that kian summonses have been issued for appearance at this office and to ask for “Doc',” the reporter remarked. "A lot of people in the real estate business call me that, but I don't know anything about the klan.” Doc replied. "Hasn't any one come up here in response to the summons?” the reporter asked. "Say, I believe there was, the other day.” the second man interposed. "He came in and asked me if this was klan headquarters. I thought he was joking, and told him to sit down. When he started talking. I told him I never was a member of the klan and didn’t know what he was talking about.”

All women’s activities in German of whatever sort are to be co-ordinated under the Deutsch Frauenfront, the all-inclusive organization of clubs and associations. The head of it is Fraulein Lydia Gotschewsky, a social worker from Danzig, active in Nazi political work for six years past. Fraulein Gotschewsky being away at a political convention when I called at her office. I saw instead her assistant, Fraulein Dr. Emmy Wagner, who had spent a year in Cleveland, 0., as an exchange student. “How many million women we have I can’t say, for it is too vast and too loosely organized as yet,” she said. “But we have a leader of the National Socialist Frauenschaft in each town, heading a unit or cell which is to infuse the spirit into all other women’s work. “One of our activities is to foster camps for girls quite like the work camps for the men volunters. We want to put city girls on the land again. Already we have about 33,000 girls between 16 and 22 enlisted for twenty weeks’ service, learning to be useful in country life. We want to train girls for home life, too, not merely so they can make a quick meal, but to be real German housewives. “The Frauenfront will take the lead in women’s political interests, in the Red Cross, the youth movement, charities and social service, economic activity, cultural interests, education, religion, everything that women are interested in. We do not want women to be narrow specialists in a field. They must relate everything they do to the broad background of national Socialism.” Next—Munich is changing.

Mrs. Hutton herself revealed the stipend for which she agreed to appear on a Broadway stage. She has a contract for six weeks, she said, at $5,000 a week, and if the profits are beyond a certain sum, she will share in them. tt u tt ONE reporter informed Sister Aimee that the audience at the Capitol, when her engagement was announced, unleashed a flood of boos and hisses. “I am merely heeding my Master’s command,” she said. “Go ye into the streets, the lanes and the broadways and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.”

DOC asked to see the summons. When it was shown him and had been inspected closely, he remarked, "Well, that beats me. somebody is using our address.” “Then you don’t know anything about this summons?” “No. but I am going to find out who sent it. Where did you get it?” Doc shot back. "The only thing I can think of is that somebody is trying to cause me trouble,Doc mused. “I used to be an organizer for the Lion's Club, and worked in Evansville. Once I came to Indianapolis and met a man named Stephenson.” “D. C. Stephenson?”

DRASTIC BREW ACT ISHALTED Protests of Retail Beer Dealers Block City Councilmen. “Too much heat” was the reaction of members of the city council at Monday nignt’s meeting at which the proposed city ordinance on closing hours of all beer drinking resorts in the city was to be introduced. Following newspaper stories regarding the proposed ordinance restaurant owners and club managers, who have complied with the excise director's rulings, expressed their indignation. Under terms of the proposed ordinance, which now rests upon Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan's desk, all “firms, corporations and persons” where food is sold and where alcoholic, malt or vinous liquors are sold or given away, it is “unlawful” for them to "remain open between the hours of 1 a. m. and 5 a. mIt also was proposed that "musical entertainment of any kind or character” should be stopped at midnight and banned until 7 a. m. Fines of SIOO and sixty-day sentences are penalties for conviction, and the mayor and city controller are given authority to revoke any city restaurant license, following conviction, which is tantamount to the revocation of beer licenses, as it is necessary, under the state law. to have both. Because complaints from downtown clubs and hotels which are serving beer in their grills, Mayor Sullivan and members of the council agreed that introduction of the law should be withheld until a more “suitable” ordinance could be drawn. However, it is anticipated by those close to the administration that no such ordinance will be drafted, and that Chief Mike Morrissey will be instructed to take advantage of the "disturbing the peace ’ ordinance to hush overzealous beer drinkers who became noisy during the early morning hours.

JAIL PROMOTER OF AD RACKET Tennessee Man Is Meted 60-Day Sentence in Peru Court. Indiana was just a little safer for the credulous today as result of action by state police at Peru, Capt. Matt Leach announced here today. Leach reported conviction of John Adams, Jackson, Tenn., at Peru, on charges of obtaining money under false pretenses. He was fined $lO | and sentenced to sixty days on the i Indiana state farm. Adams, who was arrested by Vern Shields, plain clothes state policeman, was charged with working the | old advertising racket on persons renting rooms to tourists. For a $7.50 advertisement in the "United Travelers’ Guide,” which, it is alleged, never was printed, Leach | said, Adams guaranteed the “suckI ers” the ad would rent at least three : rooms a night, five nights a week for five years. Leach said Adams had operated I in several Indiana cities.

rates in county history, were blamed by city officials for the 5-cent city levy increase asked for 1934. Budget Is Slashed The requested new rate is $1.31, i compared with $1.26 this year, alI though $204,000 had been chopped ! from the budget, Evans Woollen, city controller, asserted. "On last year’s property valuation, our requested budget would call for a tax rate of $1.20,” Woollen declared. "Thus, if it had not been for a decrease in Valuations this year of $43,000,000, we would be cutting our rate 6 cents instead of asking for an increase of 5 cents. “In this connection, we call your attention to the fact that the budget under consideration would require a rate of only 91.74 cents on the 1930 valuations.” Woollen pointed out that, despite increased demands for city hospital and social free services, the city budget had been reduced $1,800,000 since 1930. Two-Year Program After Mayor Sullivan had outlined a two-year tax reduction program, based on "return of normal times and prosperity” and increased revenue from supplemental indirect taxation, Woollen amplified the statemen twith detailed figures of the city’s expectancy from state tax sources. "We understand it to be the theory of these new laws that the property tax burden shall be lifted to the extent to which relief comes from these sources,” Woollen said* “We estimate receipts of $247,000. “Our estimate, is of course, speculative, because we have so little experience with these new taxes. Our estimate was made on the basis of current receipts from beer tax and bank and building and loan tax, and after conferences with the state board of accounts and members of the state tax board.” Reduction of from 30 to 40 cents at a time in the property tax levy is possible in the next two years when the city will “receive more revenue from miscellaneous sources, such as the state income tax, license fees and other state taxes,” Sullivan declared.
