Many expressed the opinion that a meeting of a joint committee, chosen to settle upon terms of the sale, would never be held. Crowley was jailed last week fol- Iluwim: the shooting of Macmurdro. The minister went to the taberna cle with a court order recognizing him as its pastor and he said that he shot in self-defense after order ing MacMurdro to leave. L. H.

Honor is some thing without which one cannot | ‘live.” : © The: cnancellor reproached the previous government for uselessly participating in int®rnational con fferences without first being conce ‘ded equality. Support of his foreign policy was offered by Hitler as the price of ireconciliation with his former do ‘mestic opponents. The address, which made public only at noon Wednesday, also con- Ttained the opinion of the chancel ‘lor that his predecessors had fall en victims to the “Géneva Illness.” | The chancellor emphasized that ‘the campaign over the Reichstag election and the German plebiscitel would be focued 'solely on the for ‘eign policy ' question.

The widespread movement came ‘| to light as government investiga tions continued into alleged Nazi »'lplots at the . Linz Garrison and | elsewhere to seize arms for use inl | “further action.” } Details of the investigations' | were only slowly forthcoming, but | enough has been revealed to show a small corner of the Nazi organi | zation. : Outstanding in the disclosures is | the fact that Nazi storm troops no longer are being organized by civ | ilians, but are in the hands of . | Austrian army officers—either ac | tive or recent retired. . A second plot is that these Nazi | storm troops are ofticered by army men and drill regulalry. The third fact uncovered in the investigations, it was said, is that the under cover military organiza |!tion——enlisting civilians but organ lized from within the army and al-. » | legedly preserving contact with‘ /| Germany-—is divided into brig-| S‘ades. 3 The scattering of handbills in 3tthe Austrian upper air by large| 7 | fleets of Nazi balloons was report-i l,ed Wednesday . | Dispatches from Salzurg said > | small balloons in wholesale quan -Iltities apparently had been sent upql r'in Bavaria loaded inside with a \"loose ballast of handbills attacking 51 the Dollfus government. | BARNETT CASE NOT LIKELY TO COME UP AT TODAY’S SESSION ATLANTA —(AP) — A delay is in prospect for Captain J.

An ecorpmist for the executive council has presented figures to the President showing that the products the farmer sold in Sep 'tember brought 32 per cent more than in the 12 months ending with ‘March. ~ In the same period, it was stated in official quarters today that the ‘economist had reported, the cost of }things the farmer buys has in creased 11 per cent. | Despite these figures, the ad- Eministration was desecribed as feel ing that the farmer’s return is still 'far too low. i Figures also have been submit ited to the President showing that factory employment in September |compared with 1929 had recovered ’two fifths of its decline, and the income of factory workers had re | gained a quarter of the loss, |while the cost of llving rose 9 per cent -from March to September.
