Her* i* the opinion of a com- i pelent. impartial oh*er\er after a protracted Tint! to (ifrnunv, 'Copyright, 1934. bv Unite cl Press* GENEVA, May 21—The situation 1 m Germany is puzzling and full of paradoxes. One mans guess seems as good as another's whether Hitlerism will survive triumphantly or go down! under a wave oi popular discontent i and economic suffering That is the opinion of a well-in-formed diplomatic observer, recent- j ly returned from a protracted stay m Berlin. "The present situation in Germany is extremely hard to figure j out." he said today. ‘"When the | Nazis put on such a show as the incredibly vast demonstration at Tampelhof Airfield on May day, and taking into consideration both Hitler's personal popularity and the strength of his organization, you would be willing to bet that nothing short of an earthquake could ever upset them. "Then every once in a while the evidence of the really miserable economic situation piles up. the complaining ail over Germany becomes louder and you can’t see anything ahead but trouble. Hitler Still Popular • The May day celebration was an impressive demonstration of the hold Hitlerism has on the people. More than 2,000.000 people turned i out. and they were loyal. It was interesting to note, however, that the applause for Hitler was rather weak, compared with previous outbursts. They clapped a bit at r.ll the old standbys of exhortation that they knew should be applauded, but; since there was nothing new, they let it go at that. "Os course, the Nazis are harming Germany's economy. They are spending heavily, injuring trade by their natioalism and the distrust j they have aroused abroad, and try- ; ing to bluff the whole thing through ] with their eternal propaganda. “Depending largely on the out- '■ come of the debt transfer conference. which still is in session, imports still further drastically mav| be reduced. It may be necessary in! order to protect the mark, but its natural effect will be to hit even | harder the export trade which Germany needs for prosperity and reemployment. Wages on Decline ‘ They are now investigating the i possibility of cutting wheat imports j by using potato flour for bread, but so far there are no indications that } it will be successful. They are trying to build up domestic wool and leather production. "Unicmploymcnt has gone down, i of course, even discounting the | official figures to some extent, but so have wages. In some large factories where many have been reemployed, the total pay roll is less than a year ago. The chief trouble, with re-employment is that where it affects industry, the factories forced to take on more men are unfit to bear the added burden, and that where it takes the form of public works, the re-employment can I not be permanent and is a great | strain on government finances. “The people in the street are get- j ting in some good, old-fashioned I griping on conditions in general and are doing it much more openly than j before, although they still swear by Hitler. One thing holding discon- j tent in check, at least among the j middle class, is the fear that the collapse of the thud reich might mean something twice as bad. The best they say they could hope for would be that the Reiehswehr would step in and set up a military dictatorship. Novelty Exports Decline “Not as an analogy, but as an illustration, suppose persons in the j United States who express discon- j tent with the new deal were asked j by acquaintances. ‘Well, would you prefer this or something worse?’ “The German industrial situation, j particularly in Franconia, has. .brought forth increasing demands ; by party radicals for total elimina- j tion of Jews from the leadership of industry and for increased so-, ciali?ation. Franconia, according to reports, has been particularly hard j hit by the decline of the novelty j trade with America. "Despite the bad situation, men like Walter Darre. agriculture minister, tell the export people that after the farmer and small retailer have been relieved. "I can't see any reason why we shouldn't then give j you some help.’ "Then they are continually an- ; tagonizing the Catholics, who are a powerful force, here and abroad. I sod to Taking Orders "Probably, however, a foreigner is apt to overestimate the seriousness of che present set-up. The Germans! are so used to taking orders that! any one who can give them well is pretty sure to last until someone ; with a louder voice comes along. "Disarmament is a thing about : which every one knows something and no one anything definite. The Reiehswehr is rather definitely overstrength and many storm troops could be transferred rapidly into workable troops, but proving it is another thing. There probably are large reserves of supplies, perhaps of fighting plane parts, which could be assembled with reasonable speed in case of war. One story has it that much of the extra money voted for the navy budget will go for replacement of guns in the North sea and Baltic coast defense forts, the guns replaced bring theoretically outdated. but actually to be made mobile for use of the army." ALTENHEIM IS HONORED The Rev. Frank S. C. Wicks Speaks at 25th Anniversary. The Rev. Frank S. C.

A Chance for Fame and Fortune —and It Doesn’t Cost a Cent

I

Are there any children in the Indianapolis area as talented as little “Spanky” McFarland, the Dallas baby pictured above who has made such a hit in the “Our Gang” comedies. Hal Roach. “Our Gang” producer, is anxious to discover some new child stars for his movie gang, and tests of talented children are to be made for him when the celebrated Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Traveling Motion Picture Studio visits Indianapolis. tt a a a a a WOULD you like to be a movie star? Have you ever secretly thought that, given the chance, you could make good in motion pictures? Have your friends ever remarked that you possessed looks, and personality marked enough to bring you fame and fortune on the screen?

Well, here's the opportunity of your life time, then! Here's a chance for you to demonstrate your ability before the cameras and microphones of the greatest motion picture company in the world—the company which produces the most oustanding pictures released—and the company with the greatest number of stars! Metro- Goldwyn - Mayer is searching for new screen personalities for its own feature pictures. as w r ell as for the popular Hal Roach “Our Gang" comedies released by them, and within the next few weeks will take actual screen and voice tests here of outstanding Indianapolis area girls and talented children. e a a THEY have asked the aid of The Indianapolis Times and Loews Palace theater in discovering within this area girls and children with perfect screen personalities. If you would like to be among the fortunate group to receive screen and voice tests when the M-G-M Traveling Studio arrives here, all you have to do is to clip out the application blank appearing in today's newspaper and mail it with a good photograph of yourself to the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Screen Test Editor, The Indianapolis Times. Girls must be between the ages of 18 and 28. and children between the ages of 3 to 12. and all entrants must reside within a fiftv-mile area of Indianapolis. They can not be employes or members of the family or an employe of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Company, The Times, or Loew's theater, and they will not be considered eligible if they have had screen credit in any nationally released motion picture. So. you see. there really isn't very much you have to do to qualify for a screen and voice test, and it won t cost you a cent. nan AFTER the tests are made here, they are to be exhibited the following* week on the screen of Loew's theater, and judges then will select the girl and the child whose tests in their opinion show the greatest promise. The winning pair will be eligible to compete with other territory winners for grand awards offered by M-G-M and Mr. Roach. The lucky girl will win a three month contract and a trip to the M-G-M studios in Culver City, Cal. As for the lucky child—he or she will win a three-months contract to play m the world famous Hal Roach “Our Gang" comedies, and during this period will receive a salary of SSO a week. Further, Mr. Roach will assume all traveling expenses incurred by the child and hs or her chaperon. It's a chance for fame! . . . wealth! . . . and perhaps even stardom on the screen! And even if you aren't fortunate enough to win the grand awards, won't it be something to be given a screen and voice test just to see what you look like and sound like on the screen, and to see how vour

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

DARROW FIRES BROADSIDE AT RECOVERY ACT Johnson Charges Lawyer's Report Nonsensical, Intemperate. (Continued From Page One) General Johnson informed the President. As finally released last night after weeks of delay which excited curiosity over its contents and hoisted it toward status of a national best-seller, the Darrow report. with the accompanying NRA rebuttals, was a voluminous document of 80.500 words on 322 mimeographed pages. Charles Edward Russell, active for years in the Socialist party, was credited in Washington with writing much of the Darrow report. Russell was not a member of the review board, but has been associated with Mr. Darrow in the board's work. The other member of the board, who signed the summary in which Mr. Darrow called for “the planned use of America’s resources following socialization,” w'as William O. Thompson. That, Mr. Darrow and Mr. Thompson contended is “the hope for the American people.” General Johnson seized quickly opon the reference to Socialism. Fascism of Communism “Stripped of shadowy verbiage,” he said in his letter to Mr. Roosevelt, "this means that the choice of the American people is between Fascism and Communism, neither of which can be espoused by any one who believes in our Democratic institutions of self-government; nor can any public official, who has taken an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States, adopt or officially advocate such a program.” Mr. Richberg challenged Mr. Darrow' with complaint that the board “has made itself an agency to furnish ammunition for the malicious sniping of political partisans for the covert scheming of monopolists and for the mean attacks of chiselers.” The Darrow board urged a return to the anti-trust laws, temporarily suspended for NRA code operation, | as “one of the great needs of the j time.” Minority Report Made The sixth member of the board, John F. Sinclair, submitted a minority report, stating that only 10 to 20 per cent of the complaints heard by the board were “distinctly fundamental and important.” Mr. Sinclair said that 80 to 90 per cent of the complaints could be classified as coming from those w T ho ’ack knowledge of the code and code procedure. “Most of the questions raised by I the vast majority of complainants do not present a fundamental question which concerns monopoly or monopolistic practice,” w'as Mr. Sinclair's judgment. There are three outstanding criticisms in the Johnson and Richberg answers to the Darrow report. 1. The assertion that the review board, set up to help the NRA meet its problem of aiding smaller business enterprises, has not offered a single constructive suggestion. “Board Ignored Facts” 2. That the Darrow board ignored facts and formed its conclusions on the testimony of a minority in each industry. This minority, it was stated, w r as made up of malcontents whose statements in many instances had been disproved or w'ere questionable and not supported by facts. 3. That the Darrow report is contradictory, biased, and written with an eye to carrying out preconceived notions of w'hat would be found under the NRA. The Darrow' board had its origin in a series of events last summer w'hen Senator William E. Borah (Rep., Idaho), and Senator Gerald P. Nye (Rep., N. D.), began their criticism of the NRA on the ground it encouraged monopoly and w'ould ruin small business. 14 Codes Studied Nye and Borah reviewed the report over the week-end and probably will bring the senate into the controversy this week. The Darrow board, beginning its work March 15, studied fourteen codes. Its report reviews eight of these investigations, relating to electrical manufacturing, rubber footwear, motion pictures, retail solid fuel, steel, ice. cleaning and ; dyeing, and soft coal. The main point of criticism is that in most of these industries dominant persons or companies have been entrusted with code management and control, leaving independents at an alleged disadvantage and subject to oppression from the top. NRA Issues Denial The NRA counters with denial. In several instances Johnson or Richberg assert the statements made by the Darrow board are untrue and j contrary to recorded facts In other j cases the board is accused of naive \ acceptance of patently biased testimony and refusal to accept the true or proved facts w'hen offered. The Darrow report indorsed the NRA aims of higher wages and shorter w’orking hours. It contends, however, that it is impossible to have a “fair” competition such as is mentioned, without definition, in the recovery act. All competition, the report states, “is savage, wolfish and relentless.”

This is the twentieth of a series of histories of Marion county Ma lonic ; blue lodges which is being printed i weekly in The Times. A history of i Millersville lodge will be published Frii day. DISPENSATION was granted to twenty-eight master Masons, all residents of Irvington and vicinity, to organize Irvington lodge No. 666. Free and Accepted Masons, on May 15, 1905. This permission followed a long period of agitation and hard work on the part of Masons of the community, most of w'hom at the time w'ere members of Mystic Tie lodge, who felt a very real need for a blue lodge nearer home. The lodge was organized under dispensation with the following as officers: Lon Craig, worshipful master; Jason E. Baker, senior warden; Will J. Dobyns, junior warden; Thomas M. Richardson, treasurer; George M. Cornelius, secretary; Silas J. Carr, senior deacon; Ernest C. Ropkey, junior deacon; Arthur Dunn, senior steward; Ed R. Campbell, junior steward, and George Thormyer, tyler. Charter was officially bestowed on the lodge, with appropriate ceremony, on June 1, 1906. Past Grand Master Olin E. Holloway, Knightstown, presided and instituted Irvington lodge in ancient form, installing the officers, who, with a few exceptions, were the same as those who had officiated for the lodge under dispensation. L. Herbert Griswold tvas the new senior deacon. Silas J. Carr ivas moved down one notch to junior deacon; Charles M. Cross and J. Gifford occupied the positions of senior and junior steward. respectively. At the time the charter was granted Irvington had sixty-eight members. For the first sixteen years of its existence the lodge made its quarters in a rented room in Irvington. n a a ON July 6, 1906, a committee was appointed to obtain options on a site for a permanent temple.

of trustees was elected with Hilton U. Brown, Jason E. Baker and George M. Cornelius as members. On Jan. 7, 1910, a site at the corner of Dillon avenue, now' known as Haw'thorne lane, and East Washington street was purchased. Plans were formulated to erect a temple on this ground, but it was to be a long while before Irvington’s ambition for a home similar to its present splendid temple was to be realized. The trustees were directed to sell the tract at Washington street and Dillon avenue on Jan. 16, 1907. At the same time they w'ere instructed to replace that land by purchase of the Johnson property at the northwest corner of Audubon road and Julian avenue as a site for a temple. No building, however, was erected on this lot, and on May 6, 1921. the trustees w'ere instructed to purchase the site w'here Irvington Masonic temple now' stands at the southeast corner of East Washington street and Johnson avenue. A building committee was composed of John Fitzgerald, Frank B. Davenport, Bloomfield H. Moore, John E. Stone, William S. Camp-
