BOYCOTT SPECTRE NOW HOVERS OVER JEWS IN GERMANY Nationwide Campaign Against Jews By Nazis Scheduled To Start April 1 NO INTERVENTION BY GOVERNMENT SO FAR Indicated That Left Wing Nazis Have Temporarily Triumphed Over Hitler's Moderate Division; Mass Meetings in Foreign Countries Hampering Moderates medical societies recommended to affiliated bodies that members adapt themselves to the new regime by dismissing Jews from executive and committees.

boards, midst of these reports of disorders the town of Bad-Homburg issued an invitation to former Kaiser Wilhelm, asking him to make his home there in case he decides to return to Germany. Hohenzollern representatives there had been much talk about the return of the Kaiser, but he has not indicated any intention to come back. Twelve hundred of the persons who were arrested in Brunswick were released tonight, but police kept the other 150, who were described as Berlin, March (AP) -The spectre of a nation-wide boycott against Jews hung sword-like over Germany tonight with publication of extensive detailed plans by Adolf Hitler's Nazis to clamp down the lid on all Jewish business and professional activity at 10 a. April 1. In 11 points, the Nazi followers were advised how, why, and when the boycott would be "inaugurated like a blow." Unless the government prohibits it, no phase of Jewish life, judging from the proclamation issued at National Socialist party headquarters in Munich, will be spared.

Jewish merchants, doctors and lawyers will be targets of the campaign as well as Jewish children, to whom the Nazi pronuncia-mento bar certain professions and even would prevent extensive attendance by Jewish children in the schools. Publication of the boycott call came as a surprise, as the papers had insisted it would not issued until anti German utterances abroad had cooled Left Wing Triumph. The release of the boyeott announcement at 9 o'elock this evening indicated that the left wing of the Nazis had temporarily triumphed over the more moderate wing of Chancellor Hitler and Dr. Wilhelm Frick, minister of interior. Among the left leaders are ineluded Joseph Goebbels, propaganda minister; Hermann Goering, minister without portfolio, and Hans Kerrl, president Prussian diet.

Tonight it was impossible to determine whether the government would intervene. Mass meetings held in foreign countries, it was said, have not made the lot of moderate members of the government easier, as modification of the boycott movement or its prohibition now might be construed as bowing to foreign pressure. The call for the boycott was set forth in a long communique issued from Nazi headquarters in Munich and entitled "for the defense of the Nazi party against the atrocity propaganda." The statement explaned that special committees will be formed in every Nazi group to carry the campaign plans systematically. At Bitterfeld, near Berlin, Nazi groups closed up Jewish market stalls and ordered their proprietors out of town. Unidentified men swinging clubs damaged a store at Neumuenster, which opened after having been closed for two weeks by the police.

They drove, out customers, broke windows upset counters. Three arrests were made. Stores Closed. Nazi opposition resulted in the closing of six stores of the Woolworth chain in various parts of Germany. It is understood that the Nazi stand against this chain is based on a letter from A GermanAmerican who said the original Woolworth was a Jew.

Boycott demonstrations extended to the offices of Jewish lawyers. At various places these lawyers were ordered to pay off their employes and close their doors.

President Continues Work On Mortgage Relief Plan PASSES MEASURE TO PROVIDE JOBS Senate Sends Reforestation Bill To House: Quick Action There Forecast By THOMAS L. STOKES. Washington, March The Senate today voted President Roosevelt blanket authority to enlist 250,000 men from soup kitchens and bread lines and put them to work for the next two years in forests at government expense.

The often talkative legislative body took only three hours to pass this fourth major measure on the President's program. There was no record rote. A shower of "ayes," with a few timid "noes," sent the bill to the House, where it will be taken up tomorrow. Similar prompt action there is forecast. The measure, the first in the threepoint unemployment belief program, should be on President's desk within two or three days.

It weathered the Senate without any substantial change. Next Task. This job done, the Senate turned to the next measure on the relief program, the La FolletteCostigan bill authorizing $500,000,000 from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation for grants to states for unemployment aid. This bill was reported favorably today by the banking and currency committee. Majority Leader Joseph T.

Robinson will decide tomorrow whether he will this bill up then or wait a two. There is some bring, Republican opposition on the ground the relief would constitute a "dole." As reported, the bill restricts loans to any one state to 15 per cent of the total amount. The senate acted today to furnish immediate relief in states where local and federal resources have been exhausted, particularly Illinois. It adopted an amendment to the reforestation bill eliminating the 15 per cent limit to any one state on the remainder of relief funds appropriated last year which Robinson, who sponsored the amendment, said amounted to about $68.000,000. Humorous Debate.

Debate today on the reforestation bill was sprinkled with homely rumor. It ended up with a warning by Senator J. Dickinson, Iowa, that the Senate might "rue day" when it voted 80 much power to a chief executive and with a scathing denunciation of the Roosevelt policies as "defamatory" by Senator Arthur Robinson, Ind. Borah, pointing to the sweeping powers in banking and economy already voted the President, suggested it was rather late for Dickinson to be protesting about extraordinary powers. Dickinson was concerned about the cessation of publie works to divert money to the reforestation project, which he said would throw out of work 70,000 men now regu(Please Turn To Page Two) Roping 'Em In By WILL ROGERS Beverly Hills, March Our country may be short of work, short of ready cash.

Yours, WILL PLAN TO CONTROL SECURITIES READY FOR QUICK ACTION Applies To New Stocks and Bonds: Designed To Abolish Misrepresentation SECURITY TRADING TO BE REGULATED Measure Providing For Regulation of Stock Exchanges Also To Be Presented Soon; Senate Committee To Consider More Drastic Penalties Upon Bankers Washington, March Roosevelt will ask Congress tomorrow to throw the cloak of Federal regulation over new securities issues in the form of a "Blue Sky' law.

A bill giving the Federal Trade Commission extensive authority to enforce complete publicity of security transactions and to aid in the prevention of unnecessary and fraudulent issues will accompany a mes: sage from the President. This is the first item in Mr. Roosevelt's program to protect the investing public. A second is in preparation -the regulation of the stock exchanges--and it will be advanced to Congress shortly. The security legislation is the result of weeks of work and is based on the plans outlined by the President in his campaign.

Secretary Roper, who has been working with experts, laid the draft of the bill before Mr. Roosevelt today, just before a cabinet meeting that lasted two hours and a half. Its Provisions. The "truth telling" bill requires definite statements to be made to buyers in respect to the bonuses and commissions the sellers are to receive: information as to the investment of principal, the true earnings. true liabilities and true assets of the corporation itself.

It also is understood the legislation will encompass sales of foreign securities in this country, as posed by Senator Johnson who investigated the losses inthese bonds a year ago. Huston Thompson, chairman of the Federal Trade Commission under Uresident Wilson, has co-operated with Secretary Roper and Charles W. Taussig, one of the President's economic advisers, in the draft of the sweeping proposal to protect American security investors. Ready To Push It. It is expected the legislation will be sent to Congressional judiciary committees, and party leaders are prepared to push it.

A conference today between the President and Winthrop Aldrich, chairman of the governing board of the Chase National bank, linked with the stock exchange control proposal. Just how the government will take control of the stock exchanges is still being worked out, but direct action is believed likely. One pro posal in the tentative draft of the legislation is for Federal licensing of the exchanges. In this same connection. the Prestdent is looking to the impending hearings of the Senate banking com mittee to bring the banks under stricter regulation.

There have been some differences of opinion whether enforcement of the "Blue Sky" bill should be un der the Federal Trade Commission or the Department of Justice. The draft of the bill as it now stands calls for Federal Trade Commission jurisdiction. Strengthening the penal statutes applicable to administration of the national and Federal Reserve banklaws to discourage abuses of the kind that have been brought to light (Please Turn To Page Two) Roosevelt Orders Flat 15 Per Cent Salary Cut Washington, March flat 15 per cent cut in the salaries of government officers and employes -the maximum permitted under the recent economy bill--was ordered today by President Roosevelt to begin next Saturday. It is to continue until June 30, the end of the present fiscal year. What action will be taken at that time will depend on whatever change has taken place in the cost of living.

In ordering the new salary slash, the President automatically did away with the present 81-3 per cent. cut brought about by the furlough system put in force by the Hoover administration The present reduction is from the basis enjoyed before the previous cut. The pay cut--to aid the government in balancing the budget-was estimated to save $40,000,000 the remainder of this fiscal year, or at an annual rate of $120,000,000. Cost of Living. In his executive order, Mr.

Roosevelt said he had determined that the cost of living had dropped 21.7 per cent since the first half of 1928. Under the economy measure, passed at his request, the Chief Executive is empowered to reduce salaries in proportion to the drop in cost of living since the first six months DANIELS TARGET OF POSTER DRIVE Mexican Communists Call for Uprising Against Daniels As New Ambassador Mexico City, March attacking Josephus Daniels, the new American ambassador to Mexico, appeared on walls in Mexico City today. The posters were captioned "Out With Daniels" and they called him "the murderer of Azueta and Uribe." These men were Mexicans who were killed in the fighting when United States forces landed at Vera Cruz in 1914. At the time Mr. Daniels was Secretary of the Navy.

The posters were signed "The Central Committee of the Communist Party of Mexico, Section of the Communist International." They called upon workers, farmers, students, soldiers and sailors and "all anti-imperialists in eral" to rise up and force Mr. Daniels from Mexico. Urges Overthrow. The overthrow present Mexican government for permitting Mr. Daniels to serve as ambassador was urged in the posters.

"The naming of Daniels is an insult to the Mexican people and expectorates on the memory of Mexicans who died at Vera Cruz," the posters said. "What is the consisteney of decorating those who died at Vera Cruz and then welcom ing the murderer of Azueta and Uribe?" Stoned Embassy. It was learned today that Communists stoned the American embassy last Friday night in a demonstraagainst the naming of Mr. Daniels, Several window: of the embassy were broken. Policemen who guard the embassy were lured away from the building by one group while others rushed into stone the place.

Arthur Bliss Lane, charge d'affaires, who had just returned from Washington, reported the incident to the foreign office and to the chief of police. The police have not yet made the matter public, and it could not be learned whether any arrests have been made. It was definitely learned today that W. F. Flaney president of the American Chamber of Commerce, week sent a telegram to Secretary (Please Turn To Page Two) of 1928, taken as the base period.

It is specified, however, the slash must not exceed 15 per cent. The cost-of living index figure for the six months ending June 30. 1928. was determined by the Labor Department to be 171, while the figure for the half year terminating on December 31, 1932, was 133.9. The year 1913 was taken 100.

In deciding what action to take after next June 30, it will be necessary under the law to ascertain the cost of living for the first six months of 1933. President Roosevelt can continue 15 per cent cut at that time if costs justify. tithing Roosevelt Order. After reciting the provisions of the economy net, the executive order signed by the President concluded: "I hereby that the cost of living index announce, six months period ending December 31, 1932, is 21.7 per centum lower than the cost of living index for the base period; and "That this per centum being in excess of the maximum per centum prescribed the percentage of reduction applicable in determining the compensation of officers and employes to be paid during the period from April 1, 1933, to June 30, 1933. inclusive, is 15 per centum."

SENATE COMMITTEE FOR BILL LEGALIZING BEER BY MARGIN OF 10 TO 3 Senate Eliminates House Appropriation Reduction Senate Follows Committee In Practically Every Instance, Disposing of All Departmental Appropriations With Institutions Next On List Slowly but surely the State Senate yesterday set out to eliminate reduetions made in the joint committee's appropriations bill by the Housa of Representatives. Resolving itself into a committee of the whole, the Senate yesterday morning amended the House born bill by placing back at original mitteo figures the appropriations for a dozen divisions of State government, and went so far as to hoist the committee allotment to the treasurer's office from $21,885 for each year in the next biennium to $22,560. At last night's session further efforts of the Lower House's economyor-bust bloc were put to naught. Today the Senate will launch into consideration of appropriations for educational. charitable and correctional institutions.

The morning deliberation began with Senator Hayden Clement, of Rowan, chairman of the Senate appropriations committee, moving that the Senate go into committee of the whole, and the Rowan lawmaker took the lead in recommending adoption of the joint committee's figures. was interrupted frequently by Senator Larry I. Moore, of Craven, and less often by others, for tions, observations, objections and orations. Senator Paul Grady, of Johnston, was chosen chairman of the whole committee, and Principal Clerk LeRoy Martin was elected committee clerk. Most of the difference lay in appropriations which the House, based on a 44 per salary reduction under the July cent.

1930, level for State employes, while the original joint committee bill called for A 32 per cent cut, or a reduction of approximately 15 per cent below the present pay scale, explained Senator Clement. For the benefit of his colleagues and the public, Senator Grady Rankin, of Gaston, chairman of the finance committee, pointed out that the general fund appropriations in joint committee bill totaled $6,264.990, or 24 per cent less than the appropriations for the 1931-33 period. The general fund appropriation for that biennium was $29,265,378, including debt service of $3,514 893.

NOW Questions Turn On Stockhold.

ers' Fate and Federal Control of New Bank A serious minded crowd of more than 1000 persons gathered here yesterday to hear explained a plan for merging banks now operating under restrictions into a State- wide system and another meeting was called for Friday afternoon, when it is hoped definite action will be launched. Industrial bankers who heard a similar plan for their institution outlined here last Friday, will return for a second meeting tonight, when detailed plans for a merger will be discussed. Interest in the present situation which has left 134 towns and 70 counties without the banking facilities which they enjoyed prior to the beginning of the banking holiday on March 16 and which has tied up $15,000,000 in deposits in 68 State banks and approximately half that amount in 11 National banks was so great that it was impossible to hold the meeting in the ballroom of the Sir Walter Hotel and some delay was caused by a transfer to the Hugh Morson High School. No active bankers took part in the proceedings questions asked from the floor showed that the meeting was predominantly composed of stockholders. Much disappointment was occasioned by the statement in the plan, reiterated by Gurney P.

Hood, State commissioner of banks, that double liability against stockholders in none of the old banks would be waived in no case although the proposed new bank will not be subject to double liability. The one ray of hope for stockholders in the plan was the statement that liquidating agents would not be appointed for a period of three years unless the commissioner should consider such appointment advisable in the case of any particular bank. No assessment of stock would be made prior to the appointment of a liquidating agent but any stockholder would be permitted to buy stock in the new bank under agreement that it would be accepted in payment of an assessment by the old bank at the price paid. Questions were also raised concerning the degree of control to be exercised by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. Under the plan proposed there would be $2,000,000 in common stock, $1,000,000 in surplus and $3,000,000 in preferred stock all owned by the R.

"I think it would if it was contemplated that the government would retain its interest," replied Kenneth C. Royall, attorney of Raleigh and Goldsboro, who explained the plan. Mr. Royall added that the preferred stock could be called by the bank, but that the R. F.

Under the plan each bank entering the merger would be required to purchase stock at $150 a share in the amount of 10 per cent of its unsecured deposits and the new bank would purchase liquid assets equal to twice the amount of stock purchased.

Legislation designed to ease the mortgage burden now is being prepared, but its sponsors are admittedly having their troubles in agreeing upon what the interest rate will be in the refunding process.

It also was understood that the amount of the bond issue that will be necessary for the proposed refinancing plan still is a matter of discussion. In some quarters it was reported that the issue would total approximately $1,500,000,000 on government-owned mortgages on farms alone. Some friends of the President believe the total refinancing scheme will call for a bond issue in excess of $2,500,000,000. The question of guarantees for these bonds, it was asserted, also is under discussion, Hold Conference. The entire matter was threshed out today by Mr.

Roosevelt, Secretion tary of the Woodin, Secreof Agriculture Wallace and Senator William Gibbs McAdoo, of California. Indications were that several more conferences would be called before the legislation was in shape for Congress. The President, who went into lengthy discussions today concerning his general legislative program, gave considerable attention to the railroad rehabilitation phase with Frederick H. Prince, Boston industrialist, and Secretary of Commerce Roper. Roper was of the belief that a railroad plan along the lines of Mr.

Roosevelt's campaign suggestions and pledges would be submitted to the White House by Saturday. In the bill which will eventually carry some of these recommendations, it is expected that there will be urged a thorough overhauling of Federal laws affecting railroad receiverships, regulation by the Interstate Commerce Commission of competing bus and truck lines, abolishment in some cases of the policy of enforced competition between roads, elimination of non-paying mileage, conclusion of proposed consolidations which are lawful and in the public interest. In addition, the bill was expected to ask for and control of railroad holding companies and the readjustment of topheavy financial structures through scaling down of fixed charges.

The measure provides for of convention delegates the first Tuesday after 90 days have elapsed following sine die adjournment of the legislature. The vote of the 151 delegates elected then will be controlled by State referendum on repeal three weeks later. With the vociferous cheers of beerthirsty Tar Heels echoing in their ears, members of Senate Judiciary Committee No. 1 yesterday went into executive session and reported favorably, 10 to 3, a bill to legalize the manufacture and sale of 3.2 per cent. beer in North Carolina after May 15.

Informal polls of both House and Senate last night indicated majorities in each branch for the measure. Their executive session followed public hearing which found the Hall of Representatives overflowing with hundreds of people who howled their championship or lack of sympathy with present prohibition laws. Last night the Senate adopted the bill, a committee substitute, and it was ordered placed on the calendar as a special order immediately upon disposal of the appropriations measure. Drys who stand unequivocably for' retention of the law as now written exhorted the committee to kill the bill, introduced by Senator W. Roy Francis, of Haywood, and their supporters vigorously applauded sentiments presenting the case against beer.

But advocates of beer, condemning prohibition as unworkable and noxious, upheld the provisions of the Francis measure, citing them as pathways to temperance and abidance by the laws of the State, and AS opening up long-lost streams of rev. enue into governmental coffers. "We Want Beer." Here and there among the assembly were gaudy red and black pennants, proclaiming "We want beer." Master of ceremonies for opponents of the measure was Dr. William Louis Poteat, president emeritus of Wake Forest College. Once, when he was engaged in introducing witnesses for prohibition, a voice from the gallery called: "We want a wet speaker." "Well, you'll have an hour of that later," rejoined the educator.

"I hope it'll drown you." From the galleries, apparently occupied mostly by members of the thirsty brotherhood, came good-natured raillery as speakers presented the two sides. But several times during the speech of Rev. E. MacNeill Poteat, pastor of the Pullen Memorial Baptist Church, Raleigh, a jeering "boo" greeted his advocacy of prohibition. How They Lined Up.
