AIRSVIEWSON WAR TROPHY A' man active In veterans' affairs since the war. today recalls, in a letter to The Daily Item, the circumstance surrounding gift to the city of the field piece in uam-eron Park, nearly seven, years after the close of the World War. Under the terms of the armistice, the Germans were required to surrender nearly all their arms and ammunition.

Many shiploads of field nieces, machine guns, were brought to Arnerica, for dis tribution to communities which desired to have permanent war memorials. At that time Captain Walter E. Drumheller. who had served over seas with the 28th Division, was mayor of the city. He also served three years as first commander of Milton Jarrett Norman Post.

201, American Legion. The veteran writes: "As I re member it, these field pieces were given to communities through the various veterans' societies. "Mayor Drumheller, then and now a member of the American Legion, was one of a committee of three from the post named to secure this relic. Through their efforts the gun was secured during 1925. "After it arrived in Sunbury, arrangements were made by the American Legion to have it re-oeaired and put in proper shape for display to the public.

"The necessary repairs were made at the Susouehanna Silk Mills by mechanics, who also nainted the gun by camouflaging it, after which it was placed in Cameron "Later a committee of the American Legion appeared before the City Commission with a pro position to have the gun properly and suitably mounted, so that it would have a good appearance. "However, their mission was in vain. All they got was a promise. Later the city dads did build a stockade of iron pipe, and placed it about the gun. Still later this was removed, for which we were all very thankful.

"Our city was very fortunate In securing a piece of so large a' calibre. Very few were issued of large calibre, and Sunbury was fortunate to get one of these. "I feel it should be retained, just where it is. However, it should be properly mounted, and given a more preventable appearance. This could be done at little cost.

"This gun, to me, should be considered a perment memorial. It can only be so when placed under the care of the community. Veterans' organizations pass out of existence when their members die, and the memorial could be taken care of only as long as the veterans live. "Let's leave the old gun where it is. I cannot see what objection there may be to having it remain." Swiss Bell Selections Feature Local Service Selections hv Mrs Kauffman, Williamsport, formerly of this city, on Swiss bells, featured the Sunday evening worship service at at.

Pennsylvania's chief construction officer and its PWA administrator today hoped to discuss with Governor Arthur James this week his objections to the Thompson school building The Governor told a press conference last week he understood the program would involve deeding property to the federal government 1 "I wouldn't recommend that the state school system be mortgaged to the federal government," he said. Otherwise, Governor James remarked, he would be "happy" to receive federal, money for school-building. The future of the school building program also has been clouded by immediate lack of federal funds. Col.

Augustine S. Janeway, di-recter of the General State Authority, and state PWA Administrator G. Douglas Andrews said they would like to confer with the Governor to obtain a more detail-ec picture of his views on the program. The State Authority' approved more than 700 school construction and Improvement projects last fall and submited them to PWA headquarters in Washington before the deadline for applications under the last congressional appropriation. Andrews also approved the applications.

No money was however, and the program awaits new congressional PWA appropriation. Governor James could junk the entire proposal by withdrawing state approval, or refusing an allocation under the federal government's terms. A bill, introduced in the 1933 special session of the legislature by Senator E. J. Thompson called for expenditure of $56,000,000 state funds for the school program.

The PWA applications were for grants of $37,000,000. Andrews said an allocation was not made, under the last WPA appropriation because "the State Authority couldn't show that time that they could finance 55 per cent of the program." "Now, however, those applica tions ought to be in a pretty strong position," he said.

Warns Fuehrer Hails Six-Year Rise of Nazism as Rescuing Europe From Shackles Of Communism.

Berlin, ar (AP). Adolf Hitler Mon. warned western powers against interfering "in matters concerning us alone with the purpose of preventing natural and sensible solutions." He declared to a swollen Reichstag that Germany, in establishing the "right of self determination" in Austria and Czecho-Slova-kia, had "only defended itself against the attempts of interfering third parties," and added: "I need not assure you that In the future also we shall tolerate no attempts at interference in matters concerning us alone with the purpose of preventing natural and sensible solutions." In his address, in clebraticM of the sixth anniversary of Nzi rule, Hitler launched a bitter attack on Bolshevism and hailed the success of Insurgent in Spain as another "valiant defeat ol the newei. universal attempt to destroy the European cultured world." He started speaking promptly at 8 p. m.

(2 p. m. EST) in an address to the Greater German Reichstag celebrating the sixth anniversary of Nazi rule. The Fuehrer declared before Germany's greatest Reichstag that if the Reich in 1933 had sunk into Bolshevik chaos, the whole western world would have been submerged in a crisis of dimensions surpassing human imagination. "Only the most narrow minded islanders can imagine to themselves that the Red pest would have halted before the sanctity of Democratic ideas or at the frontiers of disinterested states," he said.

He continued: "With Mussolini the salvation of Europe began at one end. National Socialism continued this work of salvation at the other end and in these days we are witnessing in another country the same spectacle: The valiant defeat of the newest universal attempt to destroy European cultured world. Hitler's reference was to Spain. "On January 30, 1933, 1 entered the Wilhelmstrasse filled with deepest anxiety about the future of my country. "Today.

six years I am able to speak to the first Reichstag of greater Germany. "Indeed, we more perhaps than another generation may gauge the devotional sense of the pronouncement 'what a change by God's dispensation' six Tears suffice to fulfill the dreams of centuries, one year to give.our people the joy of that unity which many generations longed for in vain" Hitler, standing las usual in the front seat of his car. drove at moderate speed between cheering thousands standing' behind the Nart nartv formations Hitler began reviewing his mo mentous foreign successes of last year which brought Austria and the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia into greater Germany and thus in creased the size of this Reichstag, Referring to Woodrow Wilson's fourteen points, Hitler said, "among them was the elementary sentence about the self-determination of nations. As a matter of fact the Allies of that time (the World War) during the period which followed applied this principle when it could be taken advantage of for their egoistic purposes. "Thus the return of her colonial possessions is denied to Germany on the assertion that one cannot simply return the natives thereabout whom, of course, nobody had cared in 1918 to Germany against their will.

"However, while thus posing as protectors of primitive negro tribes in the name of self-determination, the highly cultivated German people in 1918 were denied the general human right solemly promised them. "The clause on revision in the League of Nations constitution assumed only a platonic "In January 1938 I took the final decision to obtain one way or another the right of self-determination for six and one-half million Germans in Austria." Hitler here recalled his conversations with Kurt Schuschnigg, last Chancellor of Austria before its annexation March 13, 1938, by Germany. He told how he met Schuschnigg at Berchtesgaden, of his Reichstag speech of last February 20 and of Schuschnigg's decision to commit a "flagrant breach'? of the loyal understanding achieved at Berchtesgaden. He told also of his order to certain army sections on Saturday. March 12, 1938, to.

proceed to cross the frontier for the liberation of Austria, The Fuehrer, went" on to describe what he called the rising of the people in Austria, the withdrawal of Schuschnigg, the request addressed to him to give the order for the entry of the German troops into Austria to avoid unforeseeable Internal disorders, on) ths) Anal (nnAimMUMi of Austria within greater Germany All this, Hitler explained, "hap- sned at a truly breathless speed," "The faith in the rapidity, and reoarednes of th new German army was not disappointed; it was exceeded," he said, MA HOLDS DANCE Many attended the dance held in the Dewart Community Hall Saturday night under the auipices ef the Delaware Run FT A.

(U.R) Gov.

Arthur H. James said today he is anxious to determine the basis on which federal works program funds are distributed among the states and see if some adjustment in Pennsylvania's share is possible. "The situation In this large Industrial he said, "is vastly different than that in other states which are dependent largely on agriculture for livelihood. "It is unfair to base the amount each state shall receive Pn cold unemployment figures. In Pennsylvania, for example, when the mills shut down in our great industrial centers these people cannot support themselves for anjr length of time.

What can a worker in Philadelphia or Pittsburgh, or in the anthracite fields do when his mill closes? "It would be different if he could support himself for a lime through a farm or even a small truck patch such as is possible in states like Texas, or in the south and middles west." James, said he was hopeful that politics could be completely forgotten both in Washington and in Harrisburg in dealing with the relief problem. "We are not giving the fellow who needs this help a decent break," he added, "if we think of politics in handling the relief problem." i Harrisburg, Jan. 31. (U.R) Gov. Arthur H.

James toaay took issue today with State Treasurer F. Clair Foss' denial that the Earle administration left the commonwealth's general fund "bare as old Mother Hubbard's cubboard." In his message on the state's fi nancial condition last week, James said only $200,000 was left in the furtd for relief and other purposes He pointed out today that incoming taxes to end of the present fiscal biennium May1 31, described by Ross-as Pennsylvania's heav iest collection period, were "taken into consideration. "Those taxes, James said, "will be used to pay the $60,000,000 tax anticipation note iissue and school subsidies which will fall due." Ross, in his reply to James' ra dio message, contended the gover nor did not take into consideration those taxes which will be collected within the next four montns. -i I Harrisburg, Jan. 31.

(U.PJ Gov. Arthur H. James disclosed today he had ordered all salaries in the Public Utility Commission held up until the rate fixing board sub mits a budget which be can ap prove. The order James said was in the form of written notice to Auditor General Warren R. Roberts, who apparently is bound by the ad ministrative code not to authorize pay checks due tomorrow to any commissioner or employe of the P.

U. C. James said several weeks ago that the commission's budget fo the current 6-month period, which he found still in the budget secre tary's office day after his inaugur ation, listed increased payrolls ol more than $200,000. It was believed this increase was due primarily to the transfer of Democratic jobholders from departments under the governors control. The P.

U. has four Democratic appointees and there is one vacancy. The transters were made since the Nov. 8 when Democratic state-wide candidates were defeated. James apparently is determined to pare the P.

U. estimated budget of $699,570 for the current six months down to that for the last six-month, period ol $493,675. Asked if he had made any decision on proposals to increase the membership of the cpmmission to seven which would give Republicans a 4 to 3 majority after May when Commissioner Donald M. Livingston's term expires James said the question was still under consideration. Miss Allie Kester, WCTU Leader, Dies At Millville Miss Allie Kester, 83, Millville, for 60 years a promoter of W.
