NAZIS PLEA FOR DANZIG RETURN TO FATHERLAND ‘Remember the Saar,’ Cry German Orators as Vote Nears. i (Copyright. 1935, by United Press) DANZIG, April s.—Nazis of Dmzig, spurred by the exhortations of orators from their Fatherland, fought today for a “back-to-Ger-many” majority in Sunday’s diet elections. To them the election is an unofficial plebiscite to tell the world that they want to go back to the Fatherland from which the Versailles Treaty tore them. It is the first drive in a movement whose nature was revealed with crystal clarity b ythe election placards in the streets: ’’The Saar is free; now it's Danzig’s turn.” Official German interest in the election for 72 members of the Diet of this little “free city of Danzig” nestling on the border of East Prussia is intense. All week a corps of high-pressure Nazi orators has urged the people to be German, to be Nazi, to go with Adolf Hitler and the new' Germany to the heights of honor and naiional virility. Yesterday, forceful Hermann Goering, flight general of Germany’s new military air force, as well as minister for aviation, came here to urge Danzig to vote German. His speech showed German feeling. “Remember the Saar!” he said.

FISTS FLY IN LOS ANGELES MEATSTRIKE Society Matrons’ League Is Shocked by Hair-Pulling ‘Left-Wingers.’ By United Press LOS ANGELES, April 5.—A group of motherly society matrons who championed a meat strike to lower the high cost of living were horrified today to learn that their efforts had precipitated a hair-pulling street brawl. Police were called to 12 widely separated districts yesterday to stop street fighting after striking “pickets” attempted to pull shoppers away from butcher shop counters. The “pickets” involved in the street brawls were definitely identified as members of a “left wing” radical group in no wise connected with the Los Angeles housewives’ League which engineered a “meatless menu” campaign to force down meat prices. Nevertheless reports of the fighting had the league’s socially prominent leaders all a-dither. “Gracious,” said Mrs. Margaret Matteson, former Washington socialite who sometimes looks one over from head to foot through a long-handled lorgnette. “We had no idea anything like this was going to happen. We certainly don’t agree with snch a policy.” The “left wing” group which calls itself the “United Front Against the High Cost of Living” and was said to be responsible for picketing which ended in hair puliing, has the more conservative Housewives’ League “scared to death,” according to leaders of the organization. Police made no arrests during yesterday’s street fighting, but were
