Staff Correspondent) (Copyright 1934 by United Press) BERLIN (U.E)—Chancellor Adolf Hitler fought for his political life Friday amid rumors of an impending reactionary coup and a general strike. Though the situation was serious, competent, unprejudiced German opinion saw evidence that he would win.

There were half a dozen -circumstances that might lead to the overthrow of Hitler and national socialism, and determined to find- a solution for what promised to be a finish fight between radicals and conservatives. More important, both sides expressed publicly and privately confidence in him personally as the only man at the moment who could remain in power. To a dangerous political fight there was added an economic crisis. Two'significant developments seemed to indicate the reluctance of either of the elements openly at war in the political field to risk the fall of Hitler's "third reich." 1. Dr.

Paul Joseph Goebbels, minister of propaganda and leader of the radical nazis, issued an order which seemed to mean an end, for the time, of the "anti grumbling" campaign which started the fight by antagonizing the powerful non-nazi conservative element. He decreed that all ministry officials and party orators should take a vacation thruout July because the campaign had taxed them "extra and they needed rest for the fall and winter speaking campaigns, 2. Franz von conservative leader, whose speech at Marburg "was a declaration of delegates of German Chambers 'of Commerce abroad and, speaking of Goebbels, said: "Is" it surprising that in any struggle of such historic propor- (Continued on Page Seven.)

PROJECT Contract Award By Nov. Expected Special to the Tribune-Times. WASHINGTON, D. "red 'tape" will be virtually, eliminated in handling the construction of the Ames post office project, along with more than- 300 other building projects just included in the new emergency public works program passed by congress. Treasury and post office department officials predicted Friday that bids on the Ames job would be called for before the end of November, and it is hoped work can be started before the end of the year.

Novel methods will be employed in 'hese federal construction jobs, it was learned. One "red tape" elimination makes it possible greatly to speed the work of procuring sites for projects now approved The site for the Ames post office was purchased more than a year ago. Another elimination which wil directly affect the Ames project vOL be that which formerly necessitated holding within a specific cost limil in construction. "With fluctuating prices of materials and labor, it has frequently been necessary to revise plans after bids have been taken, thus causing great For the Ames project, and others to be carried out under the emergency appropriation bills, specific limits of cost have been eliminated. Plans will-be prepared which will provide adequate postal, facilities, and the treasury bill will be free to award a contract to the lowest responsible bidder on the basis of those plans, regardless of whether Ms bid is the original cost estimate.

Not, only wil this greaty expedite construction, but it will do away with "balances" -between the actual cost and the. limit of cost which have heretofore been, required to be "covered into" the treasury, and have therefore been lost for use on other projects.

Scarcely a breeze blew in all the great territory affected. Government weather observers said that an almost universal high humidity made the attack one of the most torturous in their records. Sixteeh official weather bureau stations in 11 states reported' temperatures above 100 degrees, Thursday. Hundreds of unofficial readings ran as high as 110.

At Mattoon, 111., the high point was 112. In Chicago, where the 99-degree maximum had dropped only eight degrees at 3 a. m. Friday, the mur- cury started briskly upward again at sun-up. Farmers and -grain traders awaited nervously the sequel to heavy buying of grains Thursday which sent corn up almost two cents.

There was a general fear that a crop already damaged by the recently ended five-month drouth would not survive prolonged heat of the current intensity. 14 Lives Lost In Iowa Heat DES' MOINES (Iffi) Iowa's scorching heat wave Friday carried a death toll of 14 persons, eight from prostrations and six from drowning, as the mercury boiled past the 100 mark for the sixth-consecutive day.
