TAX OBJECTORS TO ASK TEETH FOR SUO LAW Protest Session to Back Demand for Assembly to Amend Acts. A general demand for a special j legislative session to amend 1933 tax legislation probably will be made in i the state-wide mass meeting of taxpayers at 1:30 tomorrow in the Claypool. it was indicated today. Leaders in the tax reduction movement, sponsoring the meet- j ing, voiced a belief today that the 1 emergency clause of the $1.50 law should be eliminated. It was pointed out that a spe- [ cial session of the legislature prob- j ably will be necessary to set up a liquor control system when the re- , peal of the eighteenth amendment finally is ratified. Cite Liquor Revenue The large amount of excise rev- j enue resulting from liquor control \ will accomplish a notable reduction j in the tax money to be raised by | property assessment, it was pre- i dieted. The emergencies under which j many county tax adjustment boards have increased property levies be- j yond the $1.50 limit thus will be eliminated, forcing the property assessment maximum to be observed. A resolution advocating a special session and abolition of the emer- j gency clause is expected to be introduced by a Committee named at the leaders’ conference. Committee Announced Members of the committee named , yesterday are Linton A. Cox, In- i dianapolis; Claude Cline. Hunting- j ton; William Yarling. Shelbyville; | Edward Eikenberry. Wabash; David j Rhoades, Peru; Elwood Morris, Mt. j Comfort, and Joseph Day, Anderson | Another outgrowth which may; develop from tomorrow's meeting is a united movement of taxpayers J pledged to pay only an assessment j of $1.50 regardless of levies required by budget needs. Gavin L. Payne, local leader of the tax reduction movement, declared today that petitions are being circulated in Washington county to obtain signatures of taxpayers to pledges not to pay more than $1.50. Murray to Speak Similar movements are afoot in Marion and a number of other counties. In Indianapolis, the real estate board has been circulating pledge cards for several months. Announcement also made today that Prank Murray of South Bend has been added to the list of speakers at the meeting tomorrow. Mr. Murray has been active in the tax reduction movement in the northwestern part of the state. STATE LEAGUE WILL HOLD SESSIONS HERE Savings and Loan Group Names ! Speakers for Convention.

Beaten With Blackjack and Whip in Nazi Prison, Says Young American

Many Political Foes of Hitler Maltreated, He Declares. A tory few would dare or be able to tell ... a storv of conditions inside secrecy-shrouded German prisons under Nazi rule ... is related in the following article by Walter Orloff, young Jewish medical student of Brooklyn, N. Y., who was arrested and imprisoned in Germany last summer. This is the second of two articles which Mr. Orloff prepared for The Times. BY WALTER ORLOFF Written for NEA Service MY arrest as a political enemy of Adolf Hitler was on the 27th of last June. I was taken to the police jail and put into solitary confinement for four days. Then I was transferred to the prison adjoining the court in Greifswald, and again placed in solitary confinement. Both political and non-political prisoners occupied this place. Most of them were taken out each morning and allowed to walk around in a circle in the courtyard for half an hour. Talking was strictly prohibited The windows of the cells were high up in the walls so that one could not look out. After a few days I succeeded in sending a letter to the American consulate in Berlin. Prison authorities required all letters from prisoners to be unsealed so they could read them. When my answer came from the consul, it also had been opened before I received it. One day the guard told me to get ready to see the prison physician, and then took me downstairs. Two men were there. One I recognized as having been in the police station at the time of my arrest. He had a whip with him. The other, a beefy fellow, wore a death’s head insignia in the lapel of hi3 coat. The man with the whip said: “You are going to be stood up against a well, but we don’t want to make it so easy for you. Before that happens there is some information we are going to get from you.’’ a a a THEY began asking me questions about things of which I knew nothing. The larger man took a blackjack from his pocket and let it dangle significantly. The other man lost his patience after one of my answers and cracked me across the face with his whip. “You're lying.’’ he said. The big fellow went to work with the blackjack. For some time they alternately beat me and asked questions. After awhile J was taken back to my cell. Later in the day I was taken before Kriminalkommissar Voss for further questioning. The same two men were sitting in the room with him, and he threatened to have them punish me again. This time, however, they tried different methods. The man with the whip offered me a sandwich. I said: “No. thanks, I am not hungry.’’ And I didn’t eat for three days after that, One day I was taken downstairs to a room and found that Raymond Geist, American consul in Berlin, had come to Greifswald to assist me. We were not alone; a man connected with the court sat in the room as we talked. The latter did not understand English very well, so I switched to German as I told the American official how I had been treated. a a a POLITICAL prisoners in Germany suffer from the uncertainty of their fate. No one knows how long he must remain a prison-

er. One man told me he had given up all hope for himself. The prisoners are given Nazi publications to read. I noticed in one of them that prisoners were not to be mishandled, because that corresponded to the Jewish-bolshevist way of doing things! One day I asked whether I was a Jew. I said yes. I was ordered to stand at attention facing a picture of Hitler. While I was in this position, a Hitlerite in black uniform, slapped me in the face several times, and I dared not move. After that I was made to sign a statement that I did not remember having been beaten at all. Later I was taken to the police jail at Alexanderplatz. The routine was about the same as at Greifswald. I saw a political prisoner, an old man with gray hair, who had marks on him of a terrific beating. The next day I was taken out of ray cell and told that I was to be taken to the consul. An official asked me if it were true that I had been maltreated. When I said yes, he said that there are always exceptions and that that was not general. He furthermore said that they perhaps had thought that I was a Russian! a. a a IWAS taken to the Geheimpolizei once more and there coached to tell the consul I had not been hit. A few minutes later I was taken into another room and left alone with Consul Geist. He noticed that I was rather hesitant about talking and said: “I am your consul. I am your only hope.” The consul told me not to lose my spirits. I was brought back to my cell at

Alexanderplatz. In the next few days I learned that many political prisoners were beaten. Among the prisoners I saw several Jews and even some Nazis in uniform. The next day the consul came to see me and I was then handed over by the prison authorities to a detective to be taken to Hamburg. I slept over night in Hamburg in the jail. The next morning four men took me by auto to Cuxhaven where they put me on a steamer bound for New York—and freedom. Screech owls of the very same species, and of the very same age, often are so different in color that their identity is sometimes confusing: they also can change to a different color phase without losing their feathers.
