Sont. 13 Germany is well armed and ready to defend a miracle "the miracle of its own resurrection' Reichsfueher Adolf Hitler told 120,000 uniformed Nazis and 50,000 spectators in a ceremonial tribute to world war dead. "Let no one be deceived!" he shouted. "We are ready at any hour." The distant tolling of church bells emphasized the Fuehrer's words. He dismissed with a phrase the material achievements of Nazi rule expensive road building and claimed reduction in unemploy-ment.

"Our miracle, however, was res urrection a humiliated Hitler said. "That miracle consisted not in the fact that one man arose (Hitler) who believed in the resurrection but that millions followed him and went the same way. Good Fortune That I found you. That you bore with me all these years that was Germany great good lor tune." Emphasizing that the 120,000 unl formed men before him were only an extremely small percentage of his 2.500,000 storm troopers, his 225,000 black uniformed "S.S." men, not to mention the nation's equip ment, Hitler asked: "Who can oppose this bloc of national determination? "Our old enemy, Bolshevism, Is vanquished within Germany but still active around her borders, "But let no one be We are ready at any hour. We all have one wLsh to maintain peace but with it goes one firm decision: Never to surrender Germany to that enemy we have come to know so well." Referring to Spain he said: "Everywhere agitators are calling masses together in demonstrations against Fascism and against national Socialism demonstrations for supplying arms and ammunition and volunteers.

"But if I should call a demonstration it would amaze the world. Millions upon millions would respond with flaming hearts." In the early morning Hitler stood for a moment's silence before Nurn-berg's statue in memory of the nation's war dead. Silence Intense Such a deep silence fell on vast audience of 170,000 Germans, that only the twittering of birds in the grove behind the monument could be heard. As the crowd watched Intently, the bare-headed, coatless leader, wearing on his khaki shirt the iron cross he won as a corporal In the world war, bowed his head before the monument, and set a wreath at its base. Later, the crowd split the sabbath quiet with its repeated cheers for its leader, Adolf Hitler, ruler and spokesman of the third reich.

The Nazi pageantry reached the convention's climax during the' ral. lies of the storm troops, special guards and motor corps during the forenoon. After he honored those who died for Germany in the war, Hitler consecrated about 150 new standards of the fazi movement by touching them with' the "blood flag" of 1923, the most treasured relic of the National Socialist movement. Later he stood in an open auto mobile on Adolf Hitler plaza in the center of the medieval city to take the salute for three hours from marching Nazi columns and forma tions.

Last night the Republican presidential candidate, Gov. Alf M.

Landon of Kansas and Democratic Governor Louis J. Brann of Maine both bid for re- pective party support in broadcast appearances. As Maine goes, so goes ma union' has Deen a popular cam paign saying since 1840. but how valid a barometer the Maine vote actually is has been a matter ot dispute virtually since that date. Answers have varied in ine past according to the politics of tho speaker, at times, and to the margins by which the state elections were decided.

This particular campaign has seen barrage of major party appeals and denunciation. Traditionally Re publican Maine elected a Democratic governor four years ago and Republican efforts to storm the state back into its own column have been met with charges by Demo crats that the Republicans weri trying to nationalize a state election. Maine voters go to the polls Monday to elect a senator, governor, of congress and other state officials. They return in November to elect a President, along with the rest of the country. Governor Brann and Senator Wallace H.

White, (R) whom he seeks to replace, carry the standards of their parties. Republican leaders admittedly viewed Brann's conceded personal popularity as a threat to their hope for a clean sweep. Defends New Deal While his ticket mates defended New Deal ramparts against Republican sorties. Brann based his lone national interjection on a contention that Maine needed financial aid extended by the Roosevelt administration. As a senator he maintained he could obtain such assistance even better than as a gover nor.

The state campaign has been gathering momentum for weeks.

RICHMAN TAKES OFF ONFLIGHT Hopes That Plane Will Land in New York Late Today SOUTHPORT, England, Sept. 14 (Monday) (IP) Harry Richman and Dick Merrill hopped at 3:03 a. m. today (9:30 p.

eastern standard time Sunday) on their return flight to the United States. Richman, the Broadway crooner, and Merrill, his pilot, were attempt ing to be the first to make a round-trip trans-Atlantic flight. They landed in a south Wales pasture September 3 after flying from New York in 18 hours and 38 minutes. Merrill had taken some rest while their low-winged monoplane, the Lady Peace, was being prepared for the hop. Richman remained up while the plane's gasoline tanks were being filled.

The take-off for the second attempted Atlantic crossing of the silver-blue and gold craft was almost perfect. About a thousand English men and women cheered the two American fliers as the Lady Peace taxied down the runway, lighted by flares, and then disappeared into the darkness. Merrill and Richman arrived at the flying field at 2:30 a. after sleeping at a hotel at which they breakfasted. They came from Liverpool yesterday to make use of the long, smooth beach, here for their heavily laden machine.

Both obviously were nervous as they arrived. Richman shouted occasionally, but Merrill wore a grim smile and attempted to remain calm in the face of their hazardous venture. The east-west crossing of the Atlantic is generally considered more difficult than the hop they made to bring them to the British isles. Police struggled to keep back the crowd as the two Americans entered their plane after their mechanic made a minor adjustment of the motor. As the engine started up with a low roar, the watchers cleared a path in front of the Lady Peace.

Overhead the sky was pitch black, but the flares along the runway gave them light for the take-off. By making their start from South-port instead of Liverpool, Richman and Merrill were able to conserve gasoline. The plane's fuel capacity is 1,006 gallons. They also expected to cut down their flying time by almost an hour by taking off here. "I have already ordered a celebration dinner in New York tonight," Richman said.

"It will be steak and potatoes. If the steak is burned there'll be a riot." "If everything goes all right, I expect to eat at 7 o'clock tonight." Nudism Is Made Easy By Convention Edicts ALMA, Calif Sept. 13. VP) Nudism for beginners was made easier today by an announcement that tyros attending the west coast conference of nudists wouldn't be required to take off all their clothes at first If they didn't want to do so. George Spray, president of the Elysium foundation and host to a growing crowd of nudists who start ed a regional convention this morn ing, announced any "substantial citizen in perfect mental accord with the principles and standards" of the idea would be admitted.

'If the beginner feels less em barrassed in shorts," said Spray, they're permissible." "One should approach nudism gradually," he added, "building a fundamental appreciation of the human body." The convention is being held on the 100-acre mountain estate of the Elysium foundation here. Rooms, cabins and tents accom modating 50 persons were soon filled by the early arriving dele. gates and late comers had to seek housing facilities in, nearby Los Gatos. Spray said more than 200 practicing nudists would participate and that the conference had gained such favor that it would last a month instead of a week as originally planned. Spray made it clear that even the well-inured nudists would be permitted to wear clothes on occasions during the proceedings.

He said they could go as far -as they liked in bundling up themselves In case of cold weather. The temperature was 60 at the time. AND AVALANCHE Cliff Falls Into Lake And Wave of Water Destroys Houses 75 PEOPLE ARE DEAD Even Soil in Fields Is Scoured From Rocks At Loen, Norway LOEN, Norway, Sept. 13. (IP) Seventy-three residents of this famous tourist area were killed today when a rock avalanche plunged into Loen lake and sent a wall of water sweeping over the town.

The slide from the Rogne mountain with its resultant flood left little but death and destruction to greet would be rescuers who reached this picturesque village. They rushed to the town, awakened by a roar like that of artil lery fire. The catastrophe, at 5:30 a. left not a single house standing! Even the fields were scoured clear of soil, leaving bare rocks to show where the waters had rushed and then subsided. Rescuers found about 20 survivors but many of them were severely injured and some were expected to die.

One woman, who had risen early to milk her goats pastured in a high field, saw the flood envelop her home and drown every member of her family, she said. Swept Away A farmer who had worked late in the field, slept in a small field-house and was carried 1,200 feet by the flood but survived. "My wife, four children, my father and mother all are gone," he said dazedly. "My house, which was one of a group of nine, has been swept away so entirely that I cannot find where it stood." A battered steamboat, which since the catastrophe of 1905 in which 60 were killed had perched 350 feet from the water, was carried another 300 feet up the moun tainside. Several of the victims were carried hundreds of yards from the village.

Apparently they had frozen to death. Not a single family escaped at least one death. Tourists from every part of the world who have visited the scene of the catastrophe always marvelled at the temerity of the inhabitants, living under the constant threat of death. Avalanches, minor ones except for that of 1905 and today, are not uncommon here. Wave Is Huge Loen lake is a narrow two-mile body of water, flanked by 1,000 foot rock cliffs so steep they appear actually to hang over the lake.

The settlement of Bodal, straight across the precipice from which the mass of rock hurtled down to. day, is the only community in the region still standing. Fourteen families at NesdaL three-fourth mile away, were awakened by the roar of the ava- lanches and fled their homes. They were overtaken by the water and only one survived. Loen, which had a population of 120, was directly in the path of the wall of water.

The flood wave was so immense that one house standing on a high ridge two miles up Rogne mountain was demolished and its inhabitants killed.

is urging teachers' oaths to prevent Communistic ideas' from seeping into our educational system." With Devereaux and other V.F.W. officials requesting oath laws in 41 states lacking such statutes, the Denver teachers' union adopted a resolution condemning the oath as discriminatory. Admiral Richmond P. Hobson, re. tired, who led the volunteers who bottled up the Spanish fleet in Santiago harbor in the Spanish-American war, asserted: "The best peace insurance the world could have would be for the United States to double the size of its navy, increase its air forces and quickly gain and permanently maintain control of the air and sea In the northern hemisphere at least from the middle Atlantic to the middle Pacific." MAGNUS JOHNSON DEATH REACHES FARMERLEADER Magnus Johnson, Former Minnesota Senator Pneumonia Victim LITCHFIELD, Sept.

13. VP) Magnus Johnson, a Swedish immigrant to the northwest in the '90s who became a United States congressman and senator, died early today. He would have been 65 years old next Saturday. Stricken with pneumonia August 23, Johnson was brought to a hospital here from his home in Kimball. He rallied last week until Friday, when his condition took a sudden turn for the worse.

Heart stimulants were administered and he was placed under an oxygen tent, but lapsed into unconsciousness last night and died at 3:27 a. central standard time. Members of his family, including the widow, were at the bedside. Soon after he established a homestead in Meeker county, Minnesota, after working several years as a Wisconsin lumberjack, Johnson interested himself in cooperatives and the farmer-labor movement. He served in both houses of the Minnesota legislature and in 1923 was elected to the United States senate to fill the unexpired term of the late Knute Nelson.

When the former senator was defeated for the governorship of Minnesota in 1926 by Theodore Christianson, Johnson returned to his farm.

CHARGES READY IN DEATH CASE Alfonso Ballesteros Is Facing Manslaughter Accusation Alfonso Ballesteros, 21 -year -old WPA worker, faced manslaughter charges yesterday as a result of the death in Southern Methodist hospital early yesterday morning of Frank Carrillo, 50-year-old Papago Indian, injured about 9 o'clock Saturday night in an alleged hit-run accident on West Twenty-ninth street.

J. Mercer Johnson. asistant county attorney, said formal charges would be filed today against the youth, who was held in Pima county jail. According to Johnson, Ballesteros admitted he was the driver of the stolen car that witnesses identified as the vehicle which struck Carrillo as he was standing in the road beside a wagon near the corner of West Twenty-ninth street and South Eleventh avenue. Ballesteros, who told officers he was intoxicated when he stole the car on West Speedway less than an hour before, did not admit striking a man at the scene of the accident, where he also allegedly collided with a parked automobile, Johnson said.

The youth, arrested at a nearby tavern, was identified by witnesses as the driver of the death car, according to Detective James Herron. The names of the witnesses were not made public. After investigating a report there were other occupants in the stolen car, officers said yesterday they were persuaded it contained only the driver when the accident Chancellor Adolf Hitler told the As Germans, The subject turned to antl-Fascist an anti-Nazi demonstrations which he had mentioned briefly In his morning speech at Luitpold grove.

"We have not permitted such collections on behalf of of nationalists. Yet some people call this Nurnberg (Nazi party) convention 'Nazi mobilization'." He laughed.

France also within the past few days sot aside new appropriations for improvement tof her army, chiefly on the basis of quality rather than increased size.

Convention France Is Planning to Check Armament Race for Europe DENVER, Sept, Veterans of Foreign Wars, gathering by the thousands for their annual encampment, heard charges today that Communism and Fascism are growing menaces in the United States. Pre-convention discussions also drew assertions of a need for teachers' oaths and greater national defenses.

Victor E. Devereaux, rational director of Americanism for the V. F. disclosed that 5,000 units of the organization constantly report Communistic activities. "We are fighting Communism, Fascism and atheism," said Devereaux.

"The interior of the United States Is not as badly infested with Communists and similar radicals as the coastal regions, with the exception of large cities such as Chicago."
