GERMANY UNDER ECONOMIC ‘CZAR’ . AS CRISIS LOOMS Boycotts of Goods, Slowing 1 Up of Industry and Moratorium on Foreign Debts Lead to Drastic Move. UNLIMITED POWER GIVEN MINISTER Non-Nazi Is Named to ‘Advance Industry and Trade’; Von Papen to Ask Showdown in Revolt Dispute. BV FREDERICK OECHSNER I mini Prf Staff Orrnpnnilfnl iCopvrutht. 1334. bv Un;'f(l Pre.vw BKRLIX, July fi.—A national financial and economic ■ -i>. all but ignored in the bloody events of the last week, im (veiled the government today to name Minister of hconomwa Kurt Schmitt as dictator of trade and industrial activities. Behind the decision of economic dictatorship were these considerations: Boycotts of German goods slowing up of industry alter an initial spurt under Nazism; diminution of the gold reserve to the vanishing point; a financial situation so grave the government had to face the threat of trade wars by declaring a moratorium oil its foreign debt obligations.

Schmitt’s powers will extern! to Oct. 1. He is given blanket authority to “promulgate order’s for the advancement of trade and industry. as well as for the protection of industry against harm.’’ He will have the privilege himself of proscribing fines anti imprisonment for violation of his orders. Meantime, it was learned that n.iron Franz von Papen. vice-rhan-i .-:ior. is planning to see President Paul von Hmdenburg and put tip to the aged field marshal his dispute with the Nazi government. Von Papen. it was learned, has demanded that the government pron ire proof of any evidence against members r— his staff on which the government might seek to justify arrest of his aids and his own detention in his home under protective custody.’’ Dodd Seeks Parley American Ambassador William E. Dodd has asked ail appointment with Foreign Minister Konstantine von Neurath, it also was learned today, and it was believed he intended to discuss the moratorium on foreign debt services. Schmitts appointment was a diversion from a confused and exceed political situation. Newspapers attacked France as implicated in the alleged plot of the laie General Kurt von Schleicher and Ernst Roehm to overthrow the government. The French embassy issued an indignant denial. Nazi political leaders adjourned their emergency convention at Flensburg. were behind doors guarded by SS bodyguards they discussed the state an future of the party and the government. Schmitt Appointment Mystery Before they adjourned Rudolph Hess. Chancellor Adolf Hitler s chief political lieutenant, told them, according to an official announcement : ' The elimination of a dozen traitors has saved Germany from a terrific massacre." There was as much mystery in the appointment of Schmitt as trade and industry dictator as there was about the status of Von Papen. Like Von Papen. Schmitt entered the cabinet as a non-Nazi. Reports that Von Papen s home was raided, that Cardinal Fulhauber was under arrest and that anew anti-Jewish drive impended were proved untrue. Von Papen moved ins personal papers from his vicechancellery to his home. It was announced that all members of his staff had been released from arrest Cardinal Fulhauber s staff at Munich '•aid he was pursuing his normal duties and had not be*’n molested. Jews No! Molested A careful check of reliable sources disclosed no evidence of a resumption of anti-Jewish activities. There has been no serious effort to connect Jews with the Roehm revolt —an obvious mov* if anti-Jewish activity was planned The talk of French participation in the Roehm revolt has brought no comment from officials. Everything has been gossip and rumor, and Poland. Russia. Czechoslovakia and even the United States have been mentioned as the ’foreign power." Schmitts dictatorship was regarded as recognition by the government. planning the second phase of its third reich. that the coun;rys immediate future depends on economic rather than political measures. Nazis Face Problem For six months the country lias been in a precarious economic condition. and the government's sweeping measures have done little if anything to help it. The recent forced rutting of imports to save the Reichsbank s dwindling stock of foreign exchange aggravated the condition As the result of a practical strangling of imports, factories are increasingly finding themselves short of raw materials. This causes she dismissal of workers. Social repercussion* to these conditions are groat and doubtless will be greater.

‘Two Bares in the Woods’ Locked in Stuffy Cells Honeymoon Nudely Interrupted, Modern Adam and Eve Are Taken From Elysian Jungle at World's Fair. Rut m Hril Prcx* CHICAGO. July 6—The “two bares in the woods ” —otherwise known as Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Wallace when they have their clothes on—were ■aken from their Elysian jungle today and locked up in stuffy jail cells.

Before their honeymoon was so nudely interrupted, the young couple went romping about in scanty leopard skins at a prehistoric world's fair exhibit called "The Lost River." , Theirs was the life of Adam and Eve. But Judge Francis Borelli of the (municipal court, before whom they were haled on charges of indecent 'exposure, hath no sympathy for the children of the sun. • To jail you go—with your clothes on—until you can furnish substantial bonds." he said sternly. The arrests of Mr. and Mrs. Wallace were brought about by a woman attorney who sent a spy to their marriage in the raw" ceremony. A young divinity student, disguised as an unblushing photographer, gathered the evidence. Wallace, sometimes called Tarzan. was placed in a cell on the tenth floor of the county jail along with a collection of convalescing drunks. His bride kissed him goodby with a smile and rode upstairs in an elevator to the women's quarters. The young nudists were to have gone on trial before Judge Borelli today with psychiatrists, motion pictures. and all the legal trappings. But pretty Yvonne Stacey, "goddess of the sun" at the Zoro nudist colony and unadorned bridesmaid at the naked nuptials, failed to appear in court.

M’NUTT GREETS CRIME EXPERTS

Asks Group to Study Penal System and Recommend Needed Reforms.

Governor Paul V. McNutt wants to know what, if anything, is wrong with Indiana's penal and correctional institutions and he wants to know what should be done to correct anything that may be wrong.

He said so today to the commitlee of experts on penal and correctional administration, summoned to Indiana by him at the suggestion of the state committee on governmental economy, as the experts met for the first time in the statehouse. Without its two most widely known members, the committee held a two-hour session, mapped its procedure and prepared to visit the state's penitentiaries, prisons and reformatories. The two who can not be here for the committee's study are Warden Lew is E. Lawes of Sing Sing prison, and Sanford Bates, federal prisons bureau director. Mr. Bates sent his assistant, Dr. F. L. Bixby. Mr. Lawes said he would be glad to aid in any way he could. Professor John Landeseo, criminology teacher at Chicago university, w f as named anew member. With him in the session were Burdette Lewis of the American Public Welfare Association, committee chairman: Glenn Loet, assistant director of the welfare group; Dr. Bixby, Ernest N. Roselle, director of the Mooseheart (111.) children's home, and Dean A. A. Potter. Purdue university engineering school. Governor McNutt made one veiled reference to the case of John Dillinger; “The problem of crime in Indiana is similar to that of other states, though a few spectacular criminal cases have given us more than our share of front page space.” Hoosier Killed by Car Rn In i led Prr an HAMMOND, Ind..

Patterson, the court said it was informed, has been threatened and coerced because he broke up the strange honeymoon of Wallace and his shapely bride. “Maybe that’s why he isn't in court." suggested Miss Mary Belle Spencer, attorney and nemesis of nudity. It was she who proved the undoing of Sally Rand and her fans a year ago. Miss Spencer, tall and wearing a mannish tailored suit, said newsreel movies of the wedding—showing the bride and groom wearing bashful grins and nothing else—would be shown in court.

“What the hell is the matter?" snapped an inquisitive policeman. Dempsey mopped his brow' with a blanket. “Babies," he muttered, “just babies." “They had a baby shower for Mr. Dempsey,’’ said the bartender. “Mr. Dempsey is going to have a baby." a a a NOT ME." said the former heavyweight champion, looking askance at a dangling diaper. “My wife, Hannan Williams. I’ve already engaged a room at Polyclinic hospital for the end of the month. Say, which is it—l mean if it’s a boy do you use a blue blanket and if it’s a girl do you use a pink blanket?” “Blue for a boy and pink for a girl,” decreed the policeman. The baby shower was given Dempsey by several hundred of his friends, including George Jessel, comedian, and Maxie Baer, heavyweight champion. Dempsey found it difficult to enter into the festive spirit. “Well, Jack.” Jessell greeted the gloomy ex-champ, “I have been a married man one month and a half myself and I know how you feel.” “Yes.” interjected Baer, “if it’s half the man you are it’ll be a good man.” “But, Max,” said Jessel, “suppose it’s a girl?” “If it’s a girl,” responded Baer, “I will wait.” KILLER OF GENTRY IS GIVEN LIFE TERM Itinerant Painter Pleads Guilty to Murder.

By-Drink Sales Are Ruled Illegal; McNutt Calls for Rigid Local Enforcement Attorney-General’s Office Memorandum Holds Director Has No Authority to Waive Provisions: City and Town Officers Warned to Check Violations. That unwanted foundling—the by-the-drink whisky problem—was left on the doorstep of county and city officials today by the state administration. Governor Paul V. McNutt called on city and county officials of the state to enforce the law after he was informed in a memorandum from the attorney-general's office that sale of whisky by the drink is illegal under the state liquor control act.

CITY BY-DRINK PRICES AT TOP Concoctions Costing About | 15 Cents Are Retailing for 35 Cents. BY JAMES DOSS Times Staff Writer The Indiana liquor control law is a misnomer as far as any control on the whisky profiteering which is prevalent in Indianapolis more than any where else in the state, is concerned. The retail dispensers of whisky by the drink are giving the drinking public a fearful “gypping” at any one of a half dozen down town bars, a survey of their prices reveals. Take that soothing hot weather concoction known as a whisky sour. It will cost you 35 to 40 cents a copy. Know what's in it? Approximately 12 cents worth of whisky, 3 cents worth of lemon juice, a pinch of powdered sugar, and a shoe of seltzer. There may even be less than 12 cents worth of whisky in it. Drinkers frequently complain that there is more seltzer and lemon than anything else. A popular whisky blend used in most of the downtown Indianapolis bars, costs the by-the-drink dispenser, no more than $1.89 a pint, at I most. It can be bought for less by | the case and an Indiana avenue drug store retails it at $1.73 a pint. ! There are sixteen drinks in a pint. I At 25 cents a shot, that's a profit of i $2.11 a pint on straight drinking The profit soars accordingly, with the addition of lemon juice, sugar and seltzer. Take a mint julep. The shades of thousands of Kentucky colonels probably raise their hands in holy horror at the thought of a shot of bourbon, plenty of cracked ice. a little sugar and a sprig of mint, costing 45 cents. That’s the customary assessment in the Indianapolis bars. Evidence that by-the-drink profiteering is a purely local problem is contained in a comparison of prices charged in other Indiana cities. The scale runs about 10 cents a drink less on the fancy drinks, although 25 cents for a shot of whisky appears to be general. In Lafayette, Ft. Wayne and Gary, for instance, one can buy a whisky sour for 25 cents that is just as palatable, apparently has just as much whisky in it and is dispensed in just as genteel surroundings as any of the fanI cier Indianapolis bars.

"My apartment,” boomed Mr. Levy, "is overrun. I can’t sleep. I can t stand it. I can't live here. I'm moving. Good-by.” The operator had another call waiting when Mr. Fishman hung up. Mrs. Sam Ornstein had a question. "What kind of place.” she asked, "is this?” Mr. Fishman knew from her tone that the question was rhetorical, so he didn't answer. He listened. Mrs. Ornstein invited him upstairs to 'see what I see—hundreds of them. Literally hundreds.” Mr. Fishman didn't go. The telephone burred again.

The memorandum, written by Fred A. Wiecking. assistant at-torney-general, discloses that it had been recommended by the Governor's liquor control advisory commission that hotels be permitted to dispense whisky by the drink and by the package, if such sale could be held legal. “The most cursory reading of the alcoholic beverages act would indicate the answer to the first recommendation must be in the negative," the memorandum said. Retail permits are restricted to drug stores which must have been operating under a state pharmacy board permit three years prior to application for the whisky permit, the memorandum held. Quotes Disputed Clause “Proponents of package sale by hotels invariably," the memorandum said, “point out a clause in the liquor control act which reads as follows; 'Unless the excise director shall, in his discretion, deem it advisable to waive such requirements Only the three-year operation could be waived by the excise director. the Wiecking memorandum said, and ob viously the second recommendation also must be denied. “I am perfectly aware,” Mr. Wiecking told the Governor, “that a great number of people will disagree with my views, some honestly and others through motives of their own. The question of enforcement also will be raised. The newspapers have been commenting on the fact that liquor is being sold by the drink in hotels and restaurants. Local Police Responsible “The enforcement of Chapter 80 of the excise act is in the hands of local police and local prosecuting attorneys in each county of the state, the same as all other crimes and misdemeanors. While it is true that Section 6 of Chapter 80 provides that the excise director shall furnish information to law enforcement agencies of all violations coming to his attention, it does not mean that such local officers shall stand idly by in the face of flagrant violations and wait for such information to be furnished. “The violations especially referred to in Section 6 are the secret and secretive violations and not the open and notorious ones that any police officer may observe and should correct. “If there are violations of the law, responsibility for prosecutions rests with local authorities. Where police and sheriff's bring in violators, and the prosecutors do not prosecute, judges of the cirpuit and criminal courts have the inherent right to secure justice, to empanel grand juries and to appoint special -prosecutors to enforce the criminal laws of the state. Requirements Not Waived “It also is true that the excise director has not waived any of the requirements for the issuing of permits to include other than drug stores for the retail sale of spirituous beverages and the sale by persons other than permit holders, either by the drink or in packages, is a violation of the statute. The enforcement, as pointed out above, is in the hands of local law enforcement agencies." Questioned immediately after he received the memorandum, Governor McNutt said that the attorneygeneral's office statement clearly indicates that the problem primarily is one for local officials. The Governor asserted that if local agencies fail in their duty, the state will use the two weapons at its command—beer license revocation and the padlock Paul Fry. state excise director, had not received a copy of the memorandum, when questioned. Told of its contents. Mr. Fry refused to commit himself on the length his office would go on enforcement.

The falling of night and the arrival of soldiers cleared the last of the strikers and sympathizers who withstood wave after wave of tear and nauseating gas to battle police hour after hour. Adjutant-General Seth Howard warned the public to stay away. ‘•These troops are armed with firearms and not with clubs, he said. "After one warning has been issued, the troops will act immediately.” “Get Them First” Before the One-hundred-fifty-ninth infantry and the Two-hun-dred-fiftieth coast artillery left their armory, they received these instructions from Lieutenant-Colonel David P. Hardy: "If it is a question of you or the rioters, get them first. If you are attacked, clip them, then bayonet them, then use bullets." Remnants of the army of 3.00(1 strikers that fought so bitterly yesterday were found in alleys and side streets leading to the water front and the warehouse district around Beacon Hill. They were sullen and gave no indication they planned to give, the troops trouble. "We can not stand up to police guns and national guard bayonets,” Harry Bridges, "left wing” strike leader, said. San Francisco residents seemed to greet the troops joyfully and the cause of the strikers was compromised further by a refusal of San Francisco union labor generally to support them. Other unions charged the maritime workers were led by "Communists and radicals—men who ara not workers but agitators.” Fighting- Lasts All Day At one time yesterday 10,000 rioters were fighting along the waterfront and as many as five distinct riots -were going on at one time. The fighting lasted all day, with a, brief respite at noon when police and strikers refreshed themselves with sandwiches and coffee. Streets in the strife-torn area of approximately one square mile were littered with broken clubs, bricks, stones, broken glass. The sickening odor of tear gas still lingered. Growing more bloody as the day progressed, the worst fighting occurred near a ferry slip which police were attempting to clear to protect rommuters during the evening rush hour. For one hour police ard 2,000 strikers battled with fists, clubs and finally with riot guns, revolvers, tear gas and the vicious nauseating gas only recently introduced in police work. Police Kill Two The two dead both died of police bullets. At least two had injuries so critical it was learned they rri’ght die. Thirteen rioters were shot; seventeen more were injured or gassed so seriously they were in hospitals. Some thirty others received treatment for lacerations caused by police clubs. Hundreds were made ill by gas. Fighting in Mission, Steuart, Spear and neighboring streets during the late afternoon resembled actual war. Police charged the massed strikers, firing riot guns. Special gas guns looped bombs through the air for a distance of 250 feet. The air reeked with fumes. The battle lasted for more than an hour. The battle resulted from the effort of the industrial association to open the port, which has been blockaded since May 9, when the maritime strike was called.
