Strengthened. German View News of the Memel high treason verdict against alleged Nazi enaratist. plotters reached the chancellerv where Simon and Hitler was negotiating. Hitler took occa.-ion to remark with emphasis that it was proof of the seriousness of the situation from the German viewpoint and to repeat Germany* insistence that guarantor powers act to protect. Germans in Nemel It was said on reliable authority that Hitler was temperate and made no specific demands such as that a plebiscite beheld. But it was believed that the verdict* strengthened Germany not only as regards Memel itself, but as regards arguments that portions of the peace treaties are ineffective and unfair to Germany.

A government spokesman said: “The Memel verdict puts the situation in a most lurid light,. It should prove that foreign guarantor powers of the rights of Germans in Memel must wake up. It should strengthen our hands in demanding a showdown on Memel. The situation there and the administration of the Memel statute are obviously untenable It is impossible that Germans should be .*> sentenced in peacetime."

Hitler this morning repeated arguments for a seiies of direct and regional non-aggression treaties and was said on reliable authority to have submitted extensive new material regarding Russian armaments, gathered by German agents in Russia. He repeated his arguments that Russia hated Naziism and said again that Germany feared Communism, There were also on the agenda Germany’s re-entrance to the League of Nations, the proposed aerial defense treaty and disarmament.

Headline! j t a a Mrs. Roosevelt ’Cheap Publicity Seeker.’ Says Western Woman.
*>*>> ■ *' Mrs. Roosevelt . . “Publicity Seeker” By f iiHr4 Prr% BERKELEY. Cal.. March 26 Miss Martha Ijams. University of California alumna of the class of 1901. carried her private war against the Roosevelt Administration to the first lady of the land today in calling Mrs. Roosevelt a ‘"type of cheap headline seeker." Miss I jams had plenty to say about, the President's wife and she said it in the same manner in which she last week called Miss Frances Perkins. Secretary of Labor, a "mere politician" in criticising her selection as speaker at the university Charter Day exercises. ‘ Mrs Roosevelt would do well to remember that the people didn't, elect her President.” said the tall, slender Miss I jams in answering the nation's First Lady, who in a Washington press conference contended that Miss I jams had not intended to snub Miss Perkins in refusing to be her hostess at a university luncheon. What First Lady Said "A snub is an effort of a person who feels superior to make someone else inferior,” Mrs. Roosevelt was quoted as saying. "To do this it is necessary first to find someone who could be made to feel inferior. It is rare that a kindly person attempts to administer a snub.” And Miss Ijams lost as little time in replying as acidly as she had flayed the university choice of the Cabinet secretary in preference to Dr. Mary Woolley of Mt. Holyoke College as the first woman to address the charter day gathering. “I have nothing but contempt for her 'Mrs. Roosevelt*.’” Miss Ijams said She is as presumptious as usual in her assumption as to what I intended or did not intend relative to Miss Perkins. “Why Should I Answer?” “Why should I answer her? Nothing she ever says is worth answering. I have yet, to read of her saying anything on any subject in which she was manifestly versed. "The obvious fact to sensible people is that Mrs. Roosevelt, is of the type of cheap headline seeker. Her position, of course, insures that when she says startling things about matters oif which she is ignorant, she stirs attention. “That is her purpose. Her pontifical remarks might come with grare from a President, but I have yet to read of her election to the presidency.”
Wayne Citizens Threaten Suit in Homestead Fight

HINTS AT BOYCOTT OF LIBERAL PAPERS Priest Raps False Report on Relief Birth Rate. By f Hitcrl Pirns NEW YORK. March 26. Boycott of so-called liberal newspapers —those that “aim repeated, insidious and deadly blows at the Christian doctrine and ideals” is a problem Roman Catholics may have to consider in the near future, Father Ignatius W. Cox. professor of ethics at Fordham University, warned this afternoon in a Lenten lecture at St. Peter's Church. Citing recent news dispatches concerning the high birth rates among families on unemployment relief, the Fordham professor said: “I do not accuse of conscious falsification either the news collecting agencies or the papers which printed the falsehoods. What I am emphasizing is the untruth of the story which nullified it as ‘news.' Whether the agencies were tricked from within or without I do not know.” He described as "news of great importance to millions that FERA is not worried about the high birthrate of relief families.” “Will the Associated Press, the United Press and their patron newspapers carry this story which happens to be real news?" he asked.

HORSE BETTING LID TIGHTENED BY MORRISSEY City Bookies Are Closed Indefinitely, Chief Declares. The lid is on the city's horse betting books to stay indefinitely. Chief Mike Morrissey said today. Announcing a campaign of unremitting warfare against the city handbooks, Chief Morrissey indicated he was considering the formation of a plainsclothes vice squad which would move in on the books a sfast as they reopen. "And there'll be no favorites played.” the chief siad. "You can’t close one without closing them all. and that's what is going to be done.” The hint about the special vice squad came when the chief pointed out that uniformed officers are under a handicap in enforcing gambling laws and that plainclothesmen not generally known to the bookies can serve the purpose better. New Establishment Opened Chief Morrissey clarified the muddled handbook situation todayon his return from Syracuse. N. Y.. where he had been attending the American Bowling Congress tournament. The chief left for Syracuse last Tuesday morning and immediately thereafter came the police order to the bookies to close. In the interim, there was a great deal of mystery as to responsibility for the order and the motives back of it. The situation further was complicated by the fact that, anew and ornate bookies establishment had opened over a downtown eat-and-drink-place with rumors that the police drive was a political maneuver calculated to drive some of the small fry bookies out of business to the eventual benefit of the new place. Received Many Complaints Chief Morrissey explained today that he had time to issue only a verbal closing order to Capt. Ed Helm before leaving for Syracuse. He issued a written order shortly after reaching headquarters. As to the motive for the police drive, Chief Morrissey explained that he had received complaints from business men and other repuITurn to Page Three)

Temperatures of 14 degrees below zero at Nome, 18 below at Bethel, and 34 below at Fairbranks have been reported.

Filipino Pact Invites War With Japan , Author Says
The united States could be drawn ! into a war with Japan under terms I of the agreement giving the PhilipI pine Islands its independence, Nicholas Roosevelt, distinguished diplomat, author and journalist, said here today. Should Japan wish to seize the Philippine Islands within the next 10 years, the United States would be forced to intervene, because, while the island's government can draft its own laws, this country is held responsible for its affairs for 10 years, Mr. Roosevelt said. He suggested that the stewardship period be reduced to three years. Mr. Roosevelt, an affable, quickthinking cosmopolite, said that the United States probably would not be involved in a European war and stated that the peace of Europe rests with Germany and Russia. Should Russia and Germany form ian alliance, those two countries could dominate Europe, he said adding that, even if Hitler should be assassinated, the principal of GerI man superiority is so much a part j of the ideals of the people that the 4 Nazi government would continue.

Mr. Roosevelt, who was interviewed at the ClaypooL, believes that Germany can not rely upon Poland as an ally in jase of any war in Europe. Austria and Hungary are elated at Germany's repudiation of the Versailles Treaty, because it will be easier to break down the treaties which took territory away from those two nations, according to Mr. Roosevelt, a former United States minister to Hungary. A close observer of American affairs in his position as an editorial writer for the New York HeraldTribune, Mr. Roosevelt scorned the idea that- the lines between conservatives ar.o progressives were growing more distinctive in national politics. "It Is more probable that they are fighting among themselves.” he said. He predicted the possibility of four political parties in the United States—the Republican, Democrat, Southern radicals under Huey Long and the northern agrarian radicals under Gov.

Tn discharging the grand jury, the .iudge said that he had had other cases involving embezzlement to bring before | the jury, but had decided “it i would be no use. in view of your i attitude in the Washington Townj ship case.” Prosecutor Spencer let it be. known, at the same time. Uiat he and Alvah J. Rucker, special investigator of the bank cases for Circuit Judge Earl R. Cox, had gone through the bank cases, but he refused to say definitely whether he would issue affidavits in them. Asked specifically about the State Savings and Trust Cos. case, for which the statute of limitations expires April 5, he looked dreamily out of the window and remarked it was a nice day. “Pretext,” Charge Jurors Then he turned, fingered reams of typewritten statements on his desk and added: “Os course a man doesn't do that much reading of bank laws for nothing.” Then, just to make the whole picture more complicated, two of the discharged grand Jurors, William Sullivan and Frank McCready, charged to The Indianapolis Times | that the Bailey case “was used as a | pretext for firing us so we couldn't I vote on the State Savings Bank case. “We have been ready for five days to vote on that case,” they said, "and each time we were delayed by j The prosecutor on the grounds that | he had more witnesses to produce.** Charge “Cover L’p” “This today,” they charged, “was a political move to cover up for poli- . ticians who were officers in the State Savings Bank.” Such were the circumstances surrounding the first discharging of a, grand jury in Marion County in 10 j years, and one of the most sensational exchanges of charges and counter-charges yet to occur over the defunct bank situation, which, for some time, has been charged with political electricity. Judge Baker stopped a robbery trial and called for the grand jury report and the jurors, two of whom protested later that they even then were ready to vote on the State Savings Bank case, were taken into the court room. Judge Delivers Tirade They had with them 28 indictments involving 55 defendants, six of them fugitives, and these they placed on Judge Baker’s desk, together with their report. The judge fingered the indictments, read the report and began talking. He said: “I find attached here, a report of the former assessor of Washington Township. There is something here about the record of the State Board of Accounts. My recollection is I did not instruct the grand jury to find out what the State Board of Accounts records show, but I did instruct you to find out if this man is guilty of embezzlement. I think you had all the evidence necessary in this case, when the first witness came before you, and that you have had all the necessary evidence for some time. “Restitution Not Excuse” “Then, I learned you proposed to wait; not to vote an indictment, and, in fact, not to vote at all—to give this man a chance to repay his shortage.
