The "script" plan has been used at Russell, with success, and a man from there last week conferred with Chamlx-r of Commerce representatives here on the Idea. 'Hie chamber, however, felt that such a plan should be undertaken it at all, the city government lather than any organization.

It made no recommendation to the city regarding the proposal.

Senator Black, Ala.) opened the filibuster In an effort to force consideration of his resolution to block the letting of an ocean mall contract by the postofficc department to a subsldary of the International Mercantile Marine company.

The senate had Just voted to take up the independent offices supply bill. Earlier it had passed the navy department appropriations bill and adopted conference reports on the agriculture and war department bills. Vote Is Close By a vote of 188 to 183 the house passed the senate bill Intended to raise cotton prices by forming a government pool, whose participants would curtail 1933 production. It goes back to the senate for action on minor amendments. The Smith bill, as passed by the senate, would pool cotton held as collateral on crop production and seed loans 710,000 bales With stocks of the American cotton cooperative association approximately 1500,000 bales.

Added to his would be cotton donated the Red Cross for relief which has not yet been distributed, estimated by committee members to approximate 350 -000 bales. Growers would be given options on this cotton in return for reducing their 1833 output, and benefit by any resulting price increase. Bill to Committee The senate refused to accept house amendments to the Fletcher farm loan bank bill and sent it to conference for an adjustment of differences. The house yesterday substituted a bill by Chairman Steagall of the house banking committee for the measure approved by the senate. Both would permit direct loans to home owners through farm loans banks, but the limitations and regulations under which the funds would be handled are at considerable variance.

IS INSTRUCTED TO PROSECUTE Commission Tells City Attorney to Act Against Theatre Operating Without Permit Charles Hughes, city attorney, Tuesday was instructed by the city commission to proceed with the prosecution of the Dickinson Theatres company for operating In Manhattan without a permit. This move by the commission in effect supported the action of the welfare board last Saturday In revoking the theatre's permit for giving a Sunday show Feb. 19 in violation of the board's rule number eight. The commission saw no other course open to it other than en forcement of tne welfare board law, just as the board Saturday had declared Its only course was to revoke the permit. Mayor Griffith called to attention the theatre's objection to the Sunday closing rule on the ground that filling stations, drug stores, candy kitchens and the city park swimming pool were allowed to operate on Sunday.

Harry Frazee, attorney for the theatre, said he would go to the supreme court, if necessary, to re sist the welfare board's action, charging that the theatres were sub Ject to discrimination. The city ordinance provides for a fine of $25 a day for operating without a license. Hughes did not say when he would start prosecution in police court. It is expected that Frazee will ask for a restraining order against the city officials this week. WILCOX TRIAL TOMORROW Trial will be held at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon in the court of C.

These are the terms for the enforcement of milk ordinance agreed upon by the city commission and i about 15 producers at the weekly 'commission meeting Tuctsday afternoon. The farmers potested that they were being penalized In observance of the requirements as set forth in the ordinance, claiming that they receive no more for their produce than the "bootlegger" who disregarded the ordinance. They also Insisted that the charge for the tuberculin tests be reduced, or that they be permitted to get private veterinarians to make the tests. They could have the work done for 20 or 25 cents a cow, they said, adding that at the college it is done for 10 cents.

Protest Permit Fee There also was protest against the $2.50 annual permit fee, some of the men claiming it was a license fee In violation of the law which exempts farmers from licenses to sell their products. Charles Hughes, city attorney, said the permit fee was not a license charge, but was a charge to pay the expense of inspection, and was classified as a health measure and therefore valid. John Graham, named as spokesman for the group, said the permit fee ought to be reduced 50 per cent, and the charge for the tests cut in half or the dairymen be allowed to have the tests made by other veterinarians. Gilbert Deibler asserted the farmer are receiving only seven cents 'gallon for milk at wholesale, and added they could not afford to pay the fees. Challenges Legality Harvey Dix questioned the legality of the permit fee, asking why It would be legal when a farmer Is not required to have a license to selj corn, eggs and other produce, and charged there was laxity in the collection, of fees.

Mayor Griffith explained that anyone could tell at sight whether an apple or corn was bad. but not so with milk. H. S. Gish stated he did not desire the repeal of the milk ordinance, but protested against the permit fee.

He expressed the opinion that the city's milk supply had been Improved, and that the ordinance had created more of a market for milk. He contended that while the ordinance was intended to help the producers it actually had worked against those who paid the fee while others did not. He claimed the city could not compel the farmers to pay Jhe fee, and said he was "willing to hold out on that point." Sells for Four Cents The assertion that if the ordinance was enforced to the letter there would not be enough grade-A milk in the city was made by Karl Pfuetze. He said that now there Is not sale enough for all the grade A milk offered and that as a result he Is compelled to sell 'his to the cheese factory at Junction City for four cents a gallon. He asked the enforcement of the ordinance, asserting that large quantities of ungraded milk was being "bootlegged" In the city.

Mayor Griffith said the city must maintain the department so that it will helo the producer, yet not be an expense" to the taxpayers, and said (Continued on Page Three) LECTURES TODAY Mis.

LANTZ, 27-5 City Clerk II I I 0 DECREE PROVIDES FOR VIRTUAL MARTIAL LAW IN REPUBLIC HITLERS'S STAR RISES Communist Party Probably Will be Outlawed, Which Will Assure Chancellor of Control of Relchstag After Election Berlin, Feb.

28 (fl'i-A hefty blow was struck at communism In Germany by a decree President Von Hindcnburg hlgned tonight placing the nation under virtual martial law "to protect the people from communistic danger," The decree was approved at a cabinet meeting at which Wllhelm Ooerlng, mmlster without iortfol.o and commissioner" for ile Prussian minister of interior, reported to his colleagues on the Incendiary fire which damaged the relchstag last night, and on tne recent raid on Karl Lelbknecht house, tne communistic headquarters in Berlin. The emergency measures, taken by the government, fell short of martial law, only because of the desire to keep the rxrmy out of politics. Sx-traordlnary powers to safeguard against disorder were placed in the hands of police. Setie Forged Orders Communistic leaders throughout Oermany were placed under arrest. The arrest order affected communistic members of the relchstag, but it was impossible to determine how many of them had been seized, as many of them went Into hiding.

Herr Ooerlng reported mat trlal seized In Karl Llebknecht house Included forged orders to the police and to nazl storm troopers and even Included instructions for poisoning and food. According to the testimony of two men who were arrested, they telephoned yesterday evening to the socialist organ Vorwaerts at the request of this paper that Herr Ooerlng himself had arranged for the reigstag fire. The Hitler government ordered nrohlbltlon of the entire leftist press and the arrest of the 100 communist members of the laat parliament today. With relchstag and Prussian diet elections five days off both orders were regarded a forerunner to the outlawing of the communist party; Police Confiscate Propaganda Police squadrons occupied the building housing the Vorwaerts, principal newspaper of the socialist party, for four hours this morning, confiscating truckloads of election propaganda. The two leftist parties formed the bulk of the majority dissolved this month, holding 221 of the 554 seats.

The communists and Hitler ites formed the two largest parties in the Prussian diet, which Was nls-1 solved also. Outlawing of only the communists was expected to easily assure Chancellor Hitler's party of control in both the relehstag and diet to be elected 3unday. It will take eight months to re pair the rcichstag building. The new relchstag will meet in the Prus sian diet building. Investigation disclosed the relchstag building.

Landon's recommendations. After a long disagreement the house and- senate touched up their, differences over some of the details' and maue reacjy for Governor Lan- don's signature oh the Bradney res- oluttoti, calling for a bi-partisan, legislative investigation and audit of affairs of the state highway department and commission.

Adopted by the house 100 to 14, the resolution went back to the senate which concurred by a vote i. of 34 to 4 In some amendments. Back Governor House approval was given to two bills to carry out Governor Lan don's recommendations for strengthening of the gasoline tax law, and for consol'datlon of three state fire marshal, oil Inspector, and hotel commissioner, into a new inspection department. Administration leaders estimated the gasoline tax bill would result in the amount of the tax evasions being cut down $750,000 or $1,000,000 a year, and that the consolidation bill would eliminate more than 50 inspectors and other state em- ployees, The house passed with only three votes more than the required majority, the Showalter bill repealing a statute enacted two years ago -making members of the legislature ineligible to receive civil service ap- -pointments to state offices during the term for which they are elected.

Frozen assets would be segregated and placed under a trusteeship. If approved, the reorganization plan would be binding on all general creditors. The senate passed the May bill to legalize manufacture of industrial, alcohol, and returned it to the house for action on some of the amend- ments.

Tokyo Tlie British arms embargo affecting both China and Japan means a handicap for only China, Japanese authorities said, as China needs arms more than Japan docs.

Washington The safety of Americana In the Pelplng and Tientsin area Is the cause of much concern to state department officials as Japanese and Manchukuo forces sweep southward through Jehol toward north China. Europeans and Americans live In practically all parts on Pelplng and Tientsin and are not grouped In foreign concessions as they are In Shanghai. Air raids over these cities would be a source of danger. CONFIDENCE IS GIVEN A BOOST Several States Act to Conserve Bank Assets and To Remove Cause for Public Alarm Withdrawals Are Restricted (B' the Associated Fress) Strengthened by emergency legislation hastily enacted to bolster public confidence and conserve assets, banking institutions In several states transacted the nation'i business with renewed confidence today. In Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Arkansas and New Jer-iky many financial houses were taking advantage of the power of restricting withdrawals, and in most cases this was set at five per cent of deposits.

Pennsylvania's emergency legislation was signed by Governor Pln-chotat midnight and all that was necessary! for banks to clamp down on their "holdings was approval of the state banking seoretary. Some of the smaller institutions limited withdrawals to $100. Governor Plnchot declared the new legislation "makes It unnecessary to declare a moratorium." In Ohio more than 160 banks were taking advantage of the re strictive power given the state su- permtendent of banking and while some inconvenience may have been caused, virtually all large corporations were meeting their payrolls. in Indiana banks In most sec tions of the state were following the pdllcy of Ihdlannnolls institutions by l'mltlng withdrawals to five per cent, but In Evansvllle a policy of meeting "all ordinary de mands of their depositors for neces sary purposes' Was adopted by bankers. Three new measures were enacted in Delaware to strengthen the financial situation and immedlatel txere s'gned by the governor.

One gave the state banking commissioner authority to take charge of the affairs of any state bank or trust company if he thinks such action necessary to conserve assets; another created an advisory board to assist the commissioner in safeguarding depositors, and the third created a board of bank incorporation. Governor Albert C. Ritchie, of Maryland, announced a banking holiday in force there would be extended. Originally it was to be terminated today, but a bill designed to protect deposits only was completed this morning and now goes to the general assembly for a vote. The number of banks In New Jersey, Arkansas and Kentucky restricting withdrawals was comparatively small.

In Detroit bookkeepers were working feverishly to get the two new Ford-backed banks in operation, but the Detroit News said the present management was experiencing trouble which might entail a change of the previously announced program.
