Dual Purpose, Says Gerard iCopvnfht. 1935. br Lr(*ed Pres.il NEW YOP-K. March 18- Former Ambassador James W. Gerard said today that Adolf Hitler's conscription of anew army has a dual purpose. It wil satisfy the newly aroused nationalistic spirit of his people; it will provide a partial solution of the unemployment problem. In an interview with the United Press, gie former ambassador said that the move to multiply the ranks of Germany’s army, in violation of the military clauses of the Versailles Treaty was a “very crafty action." "Hitler.” he declared, "will thus place in tne army some 500,000 young men who otherwise would have to be taken care of in some other way. by public works, a dole or some other manner. “Left unemployed, this great body of youth might become a menace to his regime. Enrolled in the army, they will receive the excellent F*>ichswehr training and become pillars of the state.” Hitler will not have to pay them as much in the army as he would under a public works program, he pointed out.

Anderson’s Net Victory Hinders Soul Saving by Pretty Girl Evangelist

HE

Betty Weakland .... not here to reform. Youthful Preacher Who Has Scathed Forces of Devil Before 6,000.000 Persons Will Speak at First Baptist Church Here. Pretty 18-year-old Betty Weakland, who started saving wayward souls as an evangelist when she was 6, came to Indianapolis today to tell the sinful here about "A Man Who Couldn’t Take It’’ and to come to grips with the devil. '

Last night, Betty was in Anderson to combat the forces of evil, but she said every one was so excited about the high school there winning the state basketball championship that the whole town “had an Armistice Day atmosphere” and there was “some doubt” as to the number of souls saved. In a series of “one-right stands” in the Hoosier state, Betty, who preaches tonight at the First Baptist Church. 401 N. Meridian-st, will mak* no effort to become a reformer. “It’s none of my affair what people do,” the girl-preacher said. “I merely hold out to them what is right. If they want it they'll accept it. If they don't—well.” “Mama” Weakland, who with •'Preacher-Daddy” J. Roy Weakland. and 15-year-old Dorothy Weakland. a violinist sister, are here with Betty, allowed that the cirl-evangelist has too much common sense to attempt any reforming. “It's better to make people white than to whitewash them,” Betty insisted. The Rev. Dr. Weakland conducts the sendees, “Mama” Weakland plays the piano and sister Dorothy sings with Betty when Betty isn't preaching. Betty, who has spoken to 6.000.000 persons since she started evangelistic preaching in El Centro, Cal., would not say card playing or dancing or such goings on are sinful. She fell back always, when asked such pointed questions, on: “I'm not a reformer.” In addition to preaching, Betty, who lives in Cleveland, likes swimming. tennis, aviation and other sports. She did not forget to remove her hat and adjust her brunette hair, carefully, when a newspaper photographer appeared, $1,379,064 SPENT ON HIGHWAYS THIS YEAR State Board Program Smaller Due to Reduced U.

During February, work totaling almost three-quarters of a millon dollars was placed under contract by the state department.
