IT IS NO SALE FOR RACKETEERS IN INDIANAPOLIS Thugs Can’t Get Footing in City, Police Chief Morrissey Says. (Continued From Pair One! rested several times in liquor eases, served a liquor term in 1927 at the New Mexico state prison, and a three-year federal booze rap in 1928 at Leavenworth penitentiary. Bank robberies throughout Indiana and adjoining states have shown a heavy increase in recent months, with most of the stickups attributed by police to gangs recruited partly from the forces of desperate hijackers and big-town gunmen. Narcotic* violations here, as well as in most other cities, show a heavy decrease in offenses. This is due partly to efficient work on the part of agents, federal court co-operation W'lth long sentences, anti partly to international treaties ’imiting producing of narcotics in other countries reducing the amount available for illicit importation into this country and causing prices to soar out of reach of many addicts. Leggers Despise Dopers “The dope racket is safe, as far as bootleggers are concerned." commented one federal officer. “The average bootlegger despises a dope peddler, and wouldn't get, into the game even if he were starving. “Lots of times bootleggers give us tips on narcotics peddlers. They won't have anything to do with the narcotics racket because they don't want ‘blood money’ on their hands.” Postal crimes also seem to be at a low ebb. no new mail frauds having cropped up recently, Counterfeiting, however, is one offense which definitely has been affected by the decline of the liquor industry. An increase in counterfeiting activities is attributed by federal officials to lessons learned by liquor dealers. Good Way to Get in Bad Paid w ith counterfeit currency for loads of liquor by enterprising liquor runners, the larger booze dealers found themselves fared with the problem of how to get rid of the bogus currency without too great a loss and without, getting into the clutches of the federal government. Most of them experimented a little and found that with proper caution they could pass it on. This seemed so easy that some of them went so far as to buy up quantities of the fake bills and peddle them on an unsuspecting public. Quite a few have met their Waterloo at the hands of secret service agents, but some others haven't—yet. Another factor leading bootleggers into the counterfeit currency racket is their experience with counterfeit whisky strip stamps and labels, which they purchased in large quantities from clever engravers. They learned quickly to distinguish between good, passable counterfeit stamps and labels, and poor ones which might be detected. It’s Public's Fault Familiarity w#h this form of counterfeits made the step to passing of eountwfeit currency a little less abrupt. • The depression has made “shoving of the queer," or counterfeit, just a little easier because in its eagerness to get its hands on money again, for a change, the public becomes careless about examining bills and coins to see if they are genuine. An interesting study is shown by cases of bootleggers placed on probation in federal court. The records show that “99 per cent" of the small-time liquor otfenders. who got in the game by accident or because they were hungry, go straight when given a chance to make good on suspended sentences.

OLD MUNICH CHANGING UNDER HITLER

City of Mellow Charm Is Monument to Fall and Rise of Nazis

ThU l the lt of *ori n on Hitler arid his rule of Germany. BV GEORGE BRITT - Time* Soffiil Writer IN Munich still you may see men by the hundreds in Bavarian peasant costume, their knees bare, their cheese wTapped in a newspaper, com** into the historic Hofbrau, buy dark beer in enormous arm-break-ing crockery mugs and spend the afternoon in hearty conversation with whoever happens to be seated next at their table. That is the old Munich of mellow charm. But it is changing in many ways. Out at beautiful Nymphenberg weeds are growing up in the palace gardens, and the state apartments have been made over into flats to be rented out. Downtown in Munich in the Briennerstrasse is a mansion of ponderous architecture, the center of a constant bustling of uniformed Naz,is, all bent upon business doubtless important. This is the famous Braunhaus. national headquarters of the Hitler political machine. This is very much the new Munich and the promise of what is to come. In the splendid Odeonsplatz old and new T combine in a memorial to Hitler's lowest fall and his highest triumph.

Here was the scene of that unfortunate march of Hitler, LudendorfT and their companions in 1923. the beer hall putsch, when a salvo from police machine guns scattered and dissuaded them. The Hitler cause touched bottom. And the uneasily brooding memorial here also represents the Hitler triumph of bringing Bavaria into complete unity and assimilation with the rest of Germany. The graceful loggia in the Odeonsplatz is hung with mourning wreaths, each to one of the lost provinces of the Fatherland, shorn off by the treaty of Versailles. nan LTPON the steps, constantly ' guarded by armed Nazis, is a fresh wreath to tfoe Nazi dead. Overhead, inscribed in huge letters, is the prayer. "Gott Mach Uns Frei." Germany has not forgotten her cut off territory. Hitler, not to be surpassed, omits no opportunity to proclaim his Brown Shirts the blood brothers of the war heroes. Nothing could be farther apart temperamentally than the Lutheran dogmatic Prussians and the Catholic easy-going Bavarians. The Bavarians, still glorifying their own royal house represented by former Crown Prince Rupprecht. have a traditional antipathy toward Prussia. They would not impress one as good Nazi material. When Bismarck formed the old German empire he left the Bavarian kingdom in independent control of its railroads and postal system and with various other sovereign rights. Some of these were surrendered at the coming of the German republic, but still the Bavarian government functioned independently from the rest of Germany in many important local variations. “Whenever a representative of the Berlin government starts down to take charge of Bavaria.' announced Dr. George Heim, leader of the Bavarian People's party last winter, “he will be shot at the border.” So Munich, adopted home of Hitler in Germany, still offered unique difficulties to the Nazis. And yet a system which sought to bring every individual into regimented control of the central government could not be balked by a line on the map. A week after the election of March 5. when Hitler was seated in power beyond the possibility of dispute. Storm Troopers staged a putsch which quietly bounced out the local government. Bavaria was reorganized as a thoroughgoing unit of the Nazi state. n n n C GENERAL VON EPP came in J serenely as governor and Bavaria was Hitler's. It was a feat which Bismarck had been unable to do. therefore all the more a feather in Hitler's cap. Germany remains tremendously impressed. One very good reason for Bavaria's submission is her economic dependence upon the rest of Germany. There was talk of separation. But Bavaria would be lost without the protection of the German tariffs. Her markets are not foreign, but consist largely of the rest of Germany, and alone she would face economic suicide. Whenever dissatisfaction was heard the storm troopers adroitly scattered it before it could crystallize. Baron von Aretin. for instance, former editor of the Muenchner Neuest Nachrichten. was accused of preparing to proclaim Prince Rupprecht the king of Bavaria. Into jail he went at once, and he remains imprisoned without the opportunity for trial. Dr. Heim has resigned as leader of his People s Party, and the party itself is dissolved. The cardinal in Munich, once a power in temporal politics, is no longer consulted.

In Bavaria, where all the stein songs were born.

The Nazis have taken over Bavaria complete. Hitler’s having accomplished this, the Germans believe, is one of the reasons why he is a great man. His forces also, particularly Walter Darre, radical Minister of Agriculture, at last have obtained the consent of the East Prussian Junkers to a partial use of their excess land by the state on which to settle the impoverished peasantry. Take this as a sign of the Junkers’ impotence if you will. Nevertheless, it was the reform upon which other recent German governments have broken up in failure. ‘•Hitler,’’ said one cynical German. appraising his various accomplishments, “is the greatest force for peace in the world today. “Before he came in all Europe was torn by rivalries end hatreds. War might have broken out in half a dozen places. Now what do we see? France and Italy have got together for such united action as no one dreamed of a year ago. Italy and Yugoslavia have made friends. Russia has signed nonaggression treaties with nations all along her western front. Even the Balkans have calmed down. nun YY*LY one thing remains to unite the whole world against Germany. That is for the United States to recognize Russia. The Nazi policy, of course, wants

to see Russia segregated, American recognition would be one of the bitterest of disappointments.” It is not love which has brought this about, but fear. The nations believe Hitlerism means war that all the organizing, propagandizing, drilling and equipping in Germany means that Germany wants war. The nation, at present, is concentrating its economic plans upon getting that independent food supply which is as important in a war of blockade as arms themselves. -Germany must be made self-sustaining. As an expert in the sugar industry wrote in the Beobachter this summer: “Germany's ability to provide all her own foodstuffs is the basis for an independent foreign policy. Without this sufficient production of foodstuffs all other armaments are useless. The sugar industry furnishes a contribution to Germany’s preparedness. Armament requires sacrifices. But no one has a right to profit from armaments —not the consumer, absolutely not the the dealer, and certainly not the sugar industry.” The more self-sustaining Germany can be made, say the Nazis, the more immune she will be to economic attacks, which include foreign boycotts. What Germany u r ants, apparently, is first, of all her old feeling of being a first rate power, of be-

General Von Epp, Nazi conqueror of Bavaria. ing respected and perhaps feared, of being able to meet all comers on equal terms. It is not unreasonable. Tied up to it is the specific wish for the lost territory and the markets. The Nazi propaganda keeps up these desires at fever heat, never letting down. And they are continuously emphasized by references to the hard times, the economic WTongs which almost every German has felt; first pride and honor, then prosperity. All are tied up together. And the individual young Nazi is made to believe, of course, that the zenith of glory is to be found in w r ar. u a IS there any way of correcting Germany’s injuries and recovering her territory except by war,” I asked a highly intelligent upper class woman. “I never heard of any, have you,” she answered. How ; ever romantic and oratoi’ical may be the men now in control of Germany's hopes and destinies, they are too realistic to wish any outburst until they feel sure they are ready. They are in no hurry. What is happening in Germany today excepting always the uniquely vicious Jewish persecutions finds a counterpart in Italy, somew'hat in Russia, in Turkey, and elsewhere about the world. The Germans point to the United States under the new deal as another example of a state undertaking minute regimentation of individual actions. President Roosevelt's new book, translated as “Blick Vorwaerts,” is seen in the bookshop window's almost as prominently displayed as even Hitler's “Mein Kampf." “We simply are continuing a phase of the world's history which began in August, 1914," said a German professor, probably the most learned and objective person with W'hom I talked. ‘No one can

The lack of those qualities is no reason to exclude Adolf Hitler from his place. He is a man for the ages, almost beyond a doubt, even though he may be known only as a megalomaniac, a man of riotous and unreasoning emotionalism, a reckless demagogue, whose bad influence poisoned Germany and brought misery to Europe for decades. I believe Hitler is all of that. He also is exactly what his worshipers call him, a leader. I think he need not have to come to power save for a combination of blunders by the enemies of Germany abroad and by his own political opponents at home. I think that any beneficial results he may produce wall be lost in thp evil. Germany itself is such a charming and desirable country, it is all the more poignant that it should have fallen under Hitler's control. One has a nostalgic pang at departure that this Germany he has seen is changing, that'it will not be there when he returns. And likewise the friends one met in Germany. “We shall not be writing,” said one in farewell. “There is really nothing now' that we can take the chance of saying in a letter.” THE END. Projects Committee Chosen Henry Fauvre, Marynette Hiatt, Elizabeth Meyers, Stewart Williams and Aloyse Bottenwiser have been appointed as an executive committee to decide upon projects of the Shortridge chapter.
