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 (Continued On Page Three) Elsie Janis Injured In Automobile Wreck EAST VIEW, ;N.

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.

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?
