BERLIN. — Fresh bans against
Catholic youth organizations were
issued in the Palatinate today
with indications that similar re-|
strictions may soon be expected
throughout Germany. \
The full machinery of the Nazi
press was Invoked in a general
fight against political Catholicism
and Jewry with both Catholic or
ganizations and Jews mncluded in
the term ‘“reactionaries.” 1
Reichsfuehrer Hitler's newspa
per, Voelkischer Beobachter, rank
ed political Catholicism as ‘“public
enemy No. 1,” while Nazi antag
onism against the Jews was dis
played at an increased heat.
From the Palatinate came word
that Catholic youth organizations
can no longer wear their distinc
tive garb in public and may not
display flags and emblems. They
also were forbidden all athletic
activities as organizations .
Same Bans Expected
It appeare¢ but a question of
time when all Nazi district lead
ers throughout the Reich will have
'lssued the same bans on Catholic
youth organizations.
Even the synagogues were
proven not to be exempt from the
anti-semitic violence of the Nazis
yesterday.
The stately synagogue on Prinze
Regentenstrasse in western Berlin
was smeared with inseriptions
such as “out with the Jews,” while
anti-semitiec slogans were painted
on the sidewalks in front.
Other parts of the city alsc
showed today that Sunday was
employed by the ardent anti-se
mites to assist Joseph Goebbels,
minister of propaganda, in his
“cleansing of the Jews”. Before
one well known ice cream parlor
owned by a Jew, a photographer
! stood ready to take a picture of
every Gentile who entered.

VAN DROWNS WIFE;
HELD FOR MURDER
Confessed Slayer Says
Love for 16-Year-Old
Girl Motive for Crime.
WORCESTER, Mass.—(#£)—His
love for a 16-year-old girl was
blamed today by Newell P. Sher
man for tl}e confessed slaying of
his young wife, the mother of his
two children.
State Detective Edward J. Mc-
Carthy said Sherman confessed
he deliberately overturned the ca
noe in which he and his 23-year
old wife were paddling Saturday
night on fog-covered Lake Sin
gletary.
As the woman struggled fran
tically to grasp him, Sherman
thrust her away and she sank
from sight, the detectvie quoted
him.
McCarthy said Sherman admit
ted he was in love with a 16-
vear-old Whitinsville, Mass,, girl
with whom he worked. She dis
liked “going around” with mar
ried men, McCarthy - said, so
Sherman decided to “make a good
impression on the girl by having
no wife.” !
Sherman was charged with mur
ler in the first degree. He is 26
vears old and a member of an old
New England family.
The two children left mother
less by the tragedy are Janet May,
2% years old, and_ Dudley, 18
months.
Police did not identify the Whit
insville girl named by - Sherman
in his confession, but MecCarthy
said she had been ‘completely
exonerated of any blame.”
“We are convinced,” he said,
“that Sherman forced his atten
tions on this girl and that, in no
'way, could she be held responsible
for what happened to Mrs. Sher
man.” .

Picturesque Resort
At Agua Caliente Closed
As Gambling Is Banned
AGUA CALIENTE, Mexico.—(&)
—The picturesque Agua Caliente
resort, largely paid for by Ameri
can dollars lost in its palatial
casino by film celebrities and
thrill-seeking tourists, was pad
locked today.
By decree of President Cardenas
of Mexico all gambling was for
bidden at the resort after Satur
day night. Since gambling, either
in the casino or on its race track,
had been the life-blood of the
resort, Baron .L.ong, president of
the company controlling the re
sort, immediately ° ordered the
closing of the hotel, the spa, res
taurant, bars-—everything.
Guests were ordered from their
rooms yesterday. Horses began
to move to American tracks as it
became evident there would be no
more racing.
VON CRANIM EVENG
VIS CUP SERIES
Wilmer Allison, U. S. No.
I, Loses to German Ace
Today in Straight Sets.
WIMBLEDON, Eng. — (AP) —
Baron Gottfried'Von Cramm scored
a straight set victory over Wilmer
Allison today and enabled Ger
many to draw level with the
United States at one match all in
the interzone Davis Cup tennis
final. The scores were 8-6, 6-3,
6-4.
Von Cramm’s victory atoned for
the defeat his teammate, Heiner
Henkel, suffered at the hands of
red-headed Don Budge of Oakland,
Calif,, Saturday in the first singles
match, which gave the United
States a jump on the Teutons.
Budge won in four sets.
Allison said he had no regrets.
“I have him all I had,” he said.
“He’s just too good. I kept the!
pressure on, thinking he would
crack. He finally cracked in the
third set and knocked one out. I
got a few bad breaks on decisions!
but they didn’t hurt me as I won
the game each time.”
Because the Allison-Von Cmmm[
match, originally scheduled for|
last Saturday, was postponed ow-l
ing to rain, the one doubles match|
will not be played until tomororw‘
with the final two singles contests
slated for Wednesday—the whole!
series being a day behind schedule. |
In Saturday’s match Budge ob-|
viously suffered from stagefright|
in his Davis Cup debut on Wim-|
bledom Turf. Henkel, t hou g hi
equally erratic, proved a tougher|
proposition than the Americans |
anticipated. The young German.|

~—ESTABLISHED 1882
Anniversary of Slaying of
Yohn Dillinger Recalls
Other ‘‘Headliners.”
CHICAGO.—(#)—The month of
July added another anniversary
to an imposing list today with the
turning of the first year since the
violent death of John Dillinger,
nationaily known bad-man.
Still fresh in the mind of the
American public is the killing of
Dillinger by federal officers a
year ago tonight when he walked
out of a theater here and was
shot to death as he attempted to
bolt into an alley.
For centuries the month hasg
been packed with thrilling events,
some such as Dillinger's demise,‘
fading into oblivion with the
lapse of time, others leaving their
mark forever on the face of the
world. Such front rank anniver
saries as American Independence
Day, Bastille Day in France, Can
ada’s Dominion Day, the Battle of
Gettysburg and events which her
alded the World War and fall dur
ing July.
“First” Events
Aside from these, the month of
fers a prodigious array of com
memorative days and “Pret”’
events. Particularly for baseball
and aviation has the month been a
gala one, :
It fathered the first intercollegi
ate baseball game of record. July
1, 1859, Amherst defeated Williams
college by a score of 66 to 32 in
26 innings at Pittsfield, Mass,
The first night game in a regu
lar league was played at Grand
Rapids, Mich.,, July 8, 1809. The
home team defeated Zanesville, O,

ATHENS: TOPS OTHER
CITIES OF ITS OWN
SIZE IN NEW HOMES
Representative of Map
Company Comments on
Residential Crowth.
REQUIRED NEW MAP
Estimate 300 Homes Built
In Athens in Last
Five Years.
Athens’ growth in the last five
years has exceeded that of any
eity of its class in Alabama, Flor
ida or Georgia, R. E. Kellner of
the Sanborn Map ocompany, New
York City said today.
i Mr. Kellner, who is stopping at
{the Georgian hotel, has not com
pleted his work for Athens but he
estimates that around three hun
dred new homes have been built
here since 1930.
} Many improvements have been
lm&de in the business district, Mr.
Kellner said, but the greatest de
velopment has been in the resi
dential sections. Several new res
idential sections have been devel
oped in recemt years and another,
the McWhorter estate division, is
|underway at the present time,
Many new homes have been
built in the Oglethorpe avenue,
Atlanta road and King avenue sec
tion, while several have been con
structed on Rutherford street,
Catawba street, Cherokee avenue,
Milledge “Circle, University Drive
and other streets in that vicinity.
In recent weeks the property of
Chancellor-Emeritus C. M. Snell
l!ng, which ltes at the end of Mil
ledge avenue, has been opened and
new homes -are being planned in
that division. - - -
Mr. Kellner said two maps have
been made of Athens for the San
born Company in the last ten
years, one in. 1926 and another in
|19304 The .revisions were made
inecessary by the. continued new
| building here.. The company has
lno stated time for revising maps,
Ibut does so when new building
requires that it be done, as in the
'case of Athens.
Insurance Maps
The maps are used by insurance
companies for underwriting pur
poses, Mr. Kellner said and, of
course, must be up-to-date. Mr.
Kellner said that he is not pre
pared, of course, to determine
whether the new residences in the
last few years indicates an in
crease in population, but that the
insurable values here Mave cer
tainly increased more than any
other city of the same class in
this state, Florida or Alabama.
Mr. Kellner said he has not

CONVICT CHARGES
Franklin, Ga., Newspaper
Defends Treatment of
Convicts in Camp.
FRANKLIN, GA,, —(#)— A con
troversy flared today over charges
of a legislative committee investi
gating state convict camps that
cruelties were practiced in a high
way convict camp here.
The News and Banner, a week
ly newspaper, said the committee
could have learned of true condi
tions by consulting leading citi
zens and officials of the communi
ty. |
It said residents here who “see
and know” conditions “are pre
pared to deny all charges of cruel
ty, inhumanity, or punishment not
in accard with necessary discipline,
and authorized by law.”
In Newnan, Ga., Stonwall Dyer,
representative from Coweta coun
ty and co-chairman of the com
mittee, advised of the editorial
said:
“You cannot always believe ev
everything prisoners in a convict
camp may say about conditions.
However, you may believe part of
what they say when you see scars
on their heads and bruises on their
bodies.” .
The legislative committee recom
mended dismissal of the camp
‘Warden, Captain H. B. Smith, at
the Franklin camp, and also of
Warden J. C. Robertson of the
White county camp.
The News and Banner said re

FINANGIAL “RALLY
STAGED BY CHICAGD
City Owed Employes 5 1-2
Months Back Salaries in
April, 1933,
CHICAGO. — (&) — This city,
“broke” twenty seven months ago,
is staging a financial comeback.
In April, 1933, the city owed its
employes five and one half months
pay, roughly $17,000,000. Banks
demanded six per cent interest on
any tax warrants bought, purch
ased them sparingly and freely
pronounced Chicago's credit bad.
Tax warrants glutted the market,
and sold at discounts,
Since then, Comptroller Robert
P. Upham said today, the city has
lifted itself out of the financial
quicksands in a transformation
unequaled by any other large city
in the United States,
Only $198,000 of tax warrants
remain unpaid in the hands of the
public against tax levies in collec
tion. In addition to that sum,
$16,662,000 in warrants for 1934 are
held publicly.
The city council, on Mayor BEd
ward J. Kelly’'s recommendation,
last week authorized a reduction
of 50 per cent in the 21 per centJ
general pay cut given .the city’s
97000 workers in 1931, |
Upham cited the interest rates
the city has been paying in order
to dispose of its paper as a relia
ble index to its financial standing.
July 1, $8,000,000 in old bonids
bearing 5 1-2 per cent interest
were refinanced. Bonds issued in
their stead were sold at the prem
ijum price of $101,077, bearing 3
1-2 per cent interest, the lowest
rate the city has paid in more
than thirty years.
Chicago's blackest financial year
1931, saw the city with $80,880,000
in warrants outstanding. The to-

To President Supported
By Both Parties. .
OPPOSED BY SMITH
Advertising Amendment
Is Likewise Approved By
Senate Today.
WASHINGTON.— (&) —By a
vote of 60 to 17, the senate today
adopted an amendment by Sena
tor LaFollette (Progressive, Wis
consin) to the AAA bill permit-
ting the President to impose
quota - restrictions on azflcult‘lfiffll
imports to preserve price gains
achieved by the dJdomestic farm
program.
The LaFollette amendment was
;suvported by many Demoerats
and many Republicans.
In effect, it is a substitute for
the house provision in the bill
which would have permitted the
President “to impose quotas and
increase tariffs on commodities
whose importation was found to
be depressing the price of basie

The vote came quickly today

an expansion of the “protective”
system which he had always op
posed. ;
Supporting it, Senator Vanden
berg (R.-Mich.) declared it was
to stop a “flood of basic commod
ities coming over the tariff
walls.” i
