GREAT
NAZIS ATTACK ON 3
FRONTS A 3 DRIVE 13
CARRIED ON TODAY
Scorn Heaped on Foreign
Press, Catholic Press,
And War Veterans
EDITORS WORRIED
Political Police Dissolve
Steel Helmet Units in
Mecklenburg
By RUDOLPH JOSTEN
Associated Press Foreign Staff
BERLIN. —(#)— The Nazid at
tacked' today on three fronts—
against the foreign press, against
the Catholic Press at home and
against the War Veterans’ organ
ization, the steel helmets. .
A large portion of Germany’s
press heaped scorn on foreign
newspapers: for - alleged ' “slander.
biased reporting and exaggeration”
of the German government's anti
semitiec and anti-Catholic meas
ures.
Catholic editors were worried as
to how Oon Max Amann, the
president of the Reich presscham
ber and boss of the German pub
lishing business, would strike
against Catholic newspapers which
he decides are not edited “in the
national socialist spirit.’”
Political police dissolved the
Steel Helmet units in western
Mecklenburg, atParchim, Ludwig
slust and Waren on the grounds
of subversive activity.
The attack on the foreign press
took the form mainly of pointing
out that other nations had their
own riots, lynchings, and such
disords and that therefore there
was no cause for them to get un
duly excited over disorders in
Germany, i
The Nazi party organ at Baden,
“Fuehrer,” appeared with a de
mand that Catholic mewspapers
be eliminated, as part of the Nazi
drive against “political Catholic
ism.”
Last April 25, Amann published
an edict giving newspapers three
months to show they agreed with
Nazi party principles. That time
now has expired.
The dissolution of the Steel
Holmet unit in western Mecklen
burg was ordered, it was officially
announced because “resistance
has been offered by members of
the Steel Helmet to orders issued
by state officials and officers of
the (Nazi) party.”
Most particularly, the complaint

Athens, Ga., Thursday, July 25, 1935,
More Material Used on Federal
Roads, U. S. Engineer Declares
Wilburn Replies, Saying
‘. Specifications Are
| Generally Same i
ATLANTA — (#) — Federal
highway engineers and state offi
cials were at odds today over what
causes the difference in building
roads as federal projects and as
state jobs.
J. T. Marshall, resident engineer
in Georgia representing the feder
al bureau of public roads, took is
sue with the state highway depart
ment in the latter’s contention that
federal construction work costs
more because of the NRA wage
scale, when he was asked to ex
plain the difference.
i Marshall said in most instances
the cost on federal projects is
greater because more material is
used and that naturally more labor
is required. He said he recogniz
ed, however, that there was some
difference in the wage scale.
W. E. Wilburn, chairman of the
state highway board, differed with
Marshall. He said that in most
projects advertised, specifications
were the same and that state jobs
are less expensive because con
tractors ar allowed to pay prevail
ing wage scales.
Roads Strengthened
The federal engineer said in most
cases roads built under federal su
pervision are 24 cents to 25 cents
per square yard more expensive
than state work because they are
‘strengthened with a 9-inch thick
ness at the edges, tapering off to
~gix inches in the center, whereas
state pavement is six inches
throughout. The more expensive
roads also use cork or rubber in
the expansion joints, where the
state uses wood, and steel barrel
rods are put into the concrete as
reinforcements to spread the load.
Contractors do not use these on
state projects.
Using the Atlanta-McDonough
project as an example, Marshall
said the federal bid of approxima
tely $67,000 wag about SII,OOO
higher than the figure as a state
undertaking and that the difference
was in excess of the cost of labor.

to New York today, balancing sun
~dry political comment on the ice
cold rim of a cocktail shaker,
~ Judas Iscariot, Benedict Arnold
and the Trojan horse incident roll
ed off his tongue as he drew and
quartered his eritics.
The senator’'s chlef concern—in
his purely fiip mood—appeared to
be the ingredients of a gin fizz,
“and mind you,” he warned spec
tators and reporters. ‘“l'm on the‘
wagon.” But he found time to call
“those five congressmen back
home” Judag Iscariots and Benedict
Arnolds.
“If 1T was to say to those guys—
those traitors—these birds,” he an
nounced, in speaking of the con
gressman who this week termed
him a traitor to the party, “ ‘chil
dren, come home, youd sée such
glee ag to shame the hottentots.
“Those guys are going to get
what is coming to them. Pretty
soon they're going to be ex-con
gressmen. The only difference be
tween them and Judas Iscariot and
Benedict Arnold, is that Iscariot
and Arnold got paid off”
On President Roosevelt, he com
mented: “I don’t know when they're
going to hold the Democratic con
vention. Why don’t they hold the
Democratic convention and the
Communist convention together,
and save money. The Democratic
convention will be a New Deal
Bolshevist meeting.
“The New Deal crowd quit the
party—or were they ever in the
party? It was just another Trojan
horse. They brought the horse
into the Democratic camp, and
what did they find inside? Felix
Frankfurter, and a l‘unch of other
guys.”
Long ostensibly came to New
York to show the boys how to
coagulate a gin fizz. “I've been
on the wagon 18 months,” he an
nounced. ‘“This is just to show.”
And a show it was. Exhibit one
was a black-haired, swarthy young
