Austrian Nazis Open Drive on Priests

And Jews. 4

PARIS, Feb. 23 (U. P.).— The segret Defense Committee, comprising the Army, Navy and Air Committees as well as a Finance Committee delegation, met today for the first time since the World War,

The committee met in the Marie de’Medici Chapel of the Senatorial Palace, with Former Premier Jo-

seph Caillaux presiding. Key members of the government presented reports on the defense situation. As the Committee met, reliable sources revealed that the Government intended to raise by a loan $105,280,000 for a special defense fund aside from the regular budget.

Austrian Nazis Open Drive on Jews

VIENNA, Feb. 23 (U. P.).—Austrian Nazis opened a campaign against Jews and “political activities” of priests in the provinces today while approximately one million working people pledged themselves to support Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg to whatever limits he may deem. necessary to preserve Austria’s independence, His position is expected to be clarified in his speech to the Austrian Bundestag or Parliament tomorrow. Defying a ban on propaganda, Nasis in Styria and Carinthia provinces distributed hand bills :-de~ nding a ban on “political activities” of priests of all creeds and “radical expiration of all sub-human elements,” with specific allusion. to Jews, Communists and Socialists. As regards priests, Austria is 95 per cent Catholic. “We have conquered,” said the hand hills. “Soon Hitler flags will fly on all buildings. Surely Jews will last only a short time.” - Members of the Government’s Fatherland Front paraded this morning in small groups-——also in defiance of a ban on demonstrations—in support of Chancellor Schuschnigg and Austrian independence. All over the country, people signed a resolution: pledging lastditch support to Chancellor Schuschnigg. Of an estimated one million signatures it. was asserted that more than 500,000 were those (Turn to Page Three)

CHAIN LETTERS MAKE REAPPEARANCE HERE

Bear Names of Church and Veterans’ Groups.

The chain letter craze, which took Indianapolis and other cities by storm several years ago, today appeared to be gaining a new start here. Several months ago, a chain letter bearing the name of a Milwaukee, Wis,- church was circulated here, without making much progress. Recently, two others, one using the name of an Indianapolis church and the other a veterans’ organization, were organized. They appear to be thriving. They are operated as “mutual profit-sharing clubs” and investors receive “membership cards” upon payment of $1. All fees are collected and distributed by the club. Neither U. 8S. District Attorney Val Nolan, nor deputies of County Prosecutor Herbert Spencer were aware the system was operating again, they said.

NOT CANDIDATE: FOR ANY OFFICE,

Giving Entire Time and Energy to Philippine Affairs, He Declares.

Commissioner Insists Shift Of Col. Johnson Purely Routine Move.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23 (U. P.)— Paul V. McNutt, High Commissioner to the Philippines today declared: “I am not a candidate for any public office.” “I am giving my entire time, energy and thought to American affairs in the Philippine Island,” Mr. McNutt said. Asked if he would return to the United States this fall to launch his candidacy for the Presidential nomination, the former Indiana Governor said: “I am going back to the island and stay there as long as I am needed.” wr Denies Johnson Rumor

At the same time Commissioner McNutt spiritedly denied that Lieut. Col. Davenport Johnson, commandant of Hamilton Field, Cal, had been disciplined because he flew the Commissioner and Wayne Coy, his administrative assistant, from San Francisco to Denver last week. Contending that both he and Mr. Coy were War Department employees and received their travel orders from that agency, -Mr. McNutt declared there was no relationship between Col. Johnson's transfer to Chanute Field, Ill., and the San Francisco-Denver flight. Commissioner McNutt steadfastly refused to discuss the possibility of a Shirt term for President Rooseve “That is a question for the President of the United States to answer,” he said.

Schedules Conferences Mr. McNutt answered questions concerning both his political future and that of the President by declaring “1940 is two. years off and let’s talk about some of the problems that are facing us now.” i. Declaring case full” of information on the Far Eastern situation, he went to a conference with Secretary of War Harry H. Woodring. He was to meet with Secretary of State Cordell Hull later. He refused to deny or confirm reports that he would accept the In-. diana University presidency, reportedly kept open for him since June 30, 1937, before he returns to the Orient. . It has been said that Mr. McNutt may accept the Indiana University position, take a leave of absence frome the school, and return to his Manila post to fulfill the mission on which the President dispatched him more than a year ago. Reception Plans Complete His Indiana Democratic supporters made final preparations for a huge reception late today to which more than 4000 persons have been invited, including Cabinet officers, Congressional leaders, heads of various Government departments, and dipomatic corps members. Asked if he felt that the huge party would “put him on the limb” as a candidate for the Presidential ‘noniiin tian, Commissioner McNutt sai “My friends in Indiana have never placed me on a limb.” “What the future holds for the Philippines will depend entirely upon what our final policy is regarding Far Eastern affairs,” he said. “I am here prepared to answer any questions asked by the proper . officials regarding both Philippine affairs and what I observed in the Orient my visit to Shanghai.” President Roosevelt is due to re(Turn to Page Three)

The Boys Put Out the Whisper That Mann May Get a ‘Short Loan’ of Title

The boys were always putting the whisper on Mr. Tex Rickard’s gaudy knuckle operas, and you may remember how successful Mr. Rickard was as a promoter.

The purpose of the plot is to stymie Max

8-Hour Prison Guard Shift Advocated by Gottschalk

State Welfare Director Thurman A. Gottschalk today recommended to Governor Townsend that an automatic searching machine, or “gun detector,” be bought for the Miche igan City State Prison and that working hours of guards be reduced. Mr. Gottschalk’s recommenda tions were based on an investigation of prison conditions he made after the escape of five inmates, Feb. 10.. “We can hardly hope for intense supervision from men -who are working as much as 13 or 14 hours

ing eight-hour shifts. Asks Guard School He also asked that consideration

The automatic searching machine

or “gun detector” is needed, accord- |

ing to the report, because large numbers of ‘convicts must go outside the walls to work every day. “This large (in-and-out) gang represents a considerable hazard from the ‘standpoint of carrying ars ticles in and out of prison. These men re searched by the gate but such would be
