BERLIN, March 30. UF) Germany' military regeneration gained momentum today as the Cabinet era-powered the army to obtain land for maneuvers, garrison- and other military purposes. The Cabinet's decree would enable the relchswehr to condemn land for fortifications on the frontiers. A government spokesman said: "The purpose of the decree is not for fortifications but. for garrisons, drill and target practice grounds." Drill and maneuver grounds used by the army before the war were taken, away from the reichswehr after 1919.

To Berlin observers, Adolf Hitler's latest move Indicates he intends to push ahead his military program, launched amid International reverberations two weeks ago when he ordered renewal of military conscription, without awaiting the outcome deny that any far Eastern security pact with American participation was considered and Ameriran diplomatic officials here had not been advised of this proposal. Press comment today did not mention possible United States collaboration in East Asiatic matters. British and Russian sources made identical statements to the effect that the anglo-Fronch security plan devised at London was the basis for their exchange of ideas, but neither was willing to give an opinion as to what the chances were for putting that plan into effect after the Berlin and Moscow positions became known.

Well-informed Russian quarters professed to bo certain that Adolf Hitler replied in tho negative to suggestions advanced in his recent talks with Simon and Eden, and emphatically in the negative concerning the eastern European pact. Hold Mope for British Aid. If this bo true and if Eden's talks here nonetheless had results "satisfactory" to the Russians, observers said It could only mean that Moscow holds hope for British ro-opera-tion in some security arrangement whether or not Germany participates.

Foreign diplomats claimed to have heard from responsible sources that MacDonald, whose health has not been robust, would retire.

It was believed that If tho Cabinet is reconstructed MacDonald's son, Malcolm, who is 34 and has been parliamentary undersecretary of state for the dominions since 1931, would be promoted to Cabinet rank. 1935 Evansville College Class Speaker Named (Speca io Th Indianapolii Slot.

Diplomatic quarters today said they attached considerable importance to the conference of Japan's European diplomatic corps to ho held in Paris in June for general exchange of views concerning European problems.

Although the Paris meeting was not specifically occasioned by German's new moves toward rearmament, it was stated, it is nevertheless expected here that the European situation growing out of Hitler's initiative will be discussed.

Optimism has been voiced both at Asuncion and LaPaz concerning the Argentine-Chilean effort, though neither the belligerents nor the mediators have cited concrete reasons for hoping this peace attempt will succeed where eighteen earlier neutral efforts have failed.

VIENNA, March 30. -UP) -Austrian Nazis crossing into Jugoslavia with the avowed intention of joining the German army told officials there today Berlin would soon present to the world a demand that Austria be permitted to decide the question of union with Germany by a plebiscite.

Newspapers here have charged Germany is recruiting in this country for its enlarged army. The latest group of Nazi refugees reached Marl-bor, Jugoslavia, intonding to make their way from there into More Raids on Communists. A sharp upturn in raids on Communists indicated increased red activity, following the open conflict between the government's two largest private armies, the Heimwehr (home guard) and the Catholic storm troops. Many Communists were arrested here and at Innsbruck. Police who seized a large Communist print shop were amazed to find the same presses were turning out both Communist and Nazi "Red Eagle" propaganda.

This led some to believe there has been a consolidation of opposition to the government. Already apprehensive over Germany's military preparations, the government was worried at home by the menacing rift between the Heimwehr and the storm troops. Helnmwehr In Aggressive Mood. The Fascist Heimwehr, led by Prince Ernst von Starhembcrg, vice chancellor, is in an aggressive mood, demanding that it receive more public favors and protesting with a louder voice against clerical domination in the government. Fear was held in some quarters that the Heimwehr rank and file might get out of the hands of their leaders.

Mass meetings of the sub-chiefs at Llnz demanded action probably more radical than that desired by the national leaders. They insisted that Starhembcrg ordered them to "Btrike," leading to apprehension headstrong groups, tired of delay, may take provocative action without orders. ttoosier Taket 7 of 8 National Road Prizes OMAHA, March -The Hill Floral Products Company Of Richmond, tonight made a virtual clean sweep In the rose con SHELVADOR Electric Refrigerator GENEVA, March the real test of how far the powers are disposed to permit Japan to remain an active participant In organized political life will come in connection with the World Court of Justice. Judge Adatchl, the Japanese member of the court bench, died several months ago. His successor will be elected in September by the League of Nations assembly and council voting concurrently.

Japan is certain to nominate a Japanese who will probably be M. Nagaoka, former ambassador to France. Many other nations are likely to nominate one of their own citizens, or at least a jurist of some other country than Japan. Objection to Japanese, The idea behind this alleged objection to a Japanese is that Japan, reproved by the League of Nations for her initiatives in Manchuria, has resigned from the League of Nations. Hence she can not be expected to be favored for a place on the bench of the great Hague Court.

For example, the Baltic states recently complained to the league that although long-time members of the league their citizens are never named on league commissions or committees. This protest may lead to the forcing out of Japanese from permanent league committees as well as from the bench of the World Court. Other countries, faithful to their league membership, are stated to believe that one of their jurists should be elected to the World Court bench, instead of a Japanese. Invitations to Nations. The machinery of election has Just been started by the league.

It has sent out to all governments, Including the United States, invitations for the "national groups" to send in their nominations for the court vacancy. Although the United States Senate recently rejected membership In the World Court, it still possesses the right of nomination. This is done by the four Americans who are members of the old Hague Court, known as the Court of Arbitration. This court only meets in sections, and very rarely at that. It Is convened only when states elect to submit a dispute to some of Its judges for solution.

Each national group may nominate two candidates and the lists must be in possession of the League of Nations by July 15. Befor.e making the nominations each national group under the provisions of the World Court "is recommended to consult its highest court of justice, its legal faculties and schools of law and its national academies devoted to the study of law."
