121 TO STERILIZE
BERLIN, Dec. 20. UP) Last
minute preparations were under
way today for executing one of
the most significant features of
Chancellor Hitler's program to
make Germany physically fit the
sterilization of persons suffering
Incurable diseases.
On January 1, 1700 "eugenic
courts" will - begin functioning.
These will pass Judgment on at
least 400,000 men and women
considered "hereditary defectives'
Depriving these people of re1
productive power will take at least
two years, it was estimated.
Instructions have been issued
hospital, and sanitarium officials,
as well as heads of penitentiaries
and prisons, to' get a list of Incur
ables and habitual criminals ready
by January 1.
The sterilization operations will
be performed under court order,
after a system of ehecks from
which there will be no ooneal.
The cost of the aftion has been
estimated at about' 14,000,000
marks (now about $,800,000).
This the government considers
trifling compared to the 350.000,
000 marks ($132,000,000) which
persona Buffering incurable dis
eases cost the German taxpayers
annually.
The sterilization law is appli
cable, among others, to feeble
mindedness. Insanity, blindness,
and serious physical deformities.

Qlenn Niles, Relief Administrator, Thinks 1411
Total Already Reached; Chambers Seeks
Quota Increase; 4844 Men Listed
BELIEVING Marion county's present quota of civil works
jobs had been more than filled, Administrator Glenn C.
Niles yesterday afternoon directed. Manager E. T. Barnes of
the national re-employment agency not to place any more
men on CWA projects. Niles said the txact number of men
cif CWA crews, in the county could not be ascertained until
Saturday's payroll is made out. The quota is 1411 men.
Exactly 60 more men register-Q-...
ed for work at the re-employment
office yesterday, bringing total
registrations to 4844 persons.
, "The state civil works commit
tee is doing everything it can to
get the state quota increased,"
declared J. N. Chambers, Marion
county civil works chairman,
when asked what was to be done
for the remaining unemployed
men on the registration list.
"From advices through the
press it looks as though we're go-
i ing to get another allotment."
Chambers predicted. "If we could
get our quota increased to 3000
men, I believe that would handle
the relief situation very well.
Relief Burden in
County Present Stationary
The burden of relief to unem
ployed in the county, which rose
sharply last month, is now about
stationary, according to Cham
bers, who also is chairman of the
county relief committee. He de
clared the relief foil probably
would have more than doubled
had it not been for the aid
through cfvil works projects.
Mr. Chambers opined that the
money from CWA payrolls would
speedily be felt in various bus
iness lines, thereby enabling pri
vate employers to hire-more men
and women.

PRICES TO HOLD IN
PORTLAND. Ore., Dec. 20. UP)
The probability that minimum
prices for lumber, as established
by the NRA lumber code, will
remain unchanged throughout the
divisions of the Industry was seen
here today when the' national
control committee of the code re
ceived requests for only a few, mi
nor "changes.
The committee, in session here
since December 12, indicated that
the original price schedule would
be continued as no significant re
visions had been sought.
One of the most important tasks
of the national committee, the al
location of operating hours to
producers to conform to the pro
duction allotment announced yes
terday, will be undertaken by the
committee tomorrow, after which
adjournment of the Portland
meeting is expected.
Organized opposition to the
minimum prices for the Industry
failed to develop today despite
the fact that those prices are
based on the absolute production
average cost in the entire United
States.
Committee members said that
the Industry, In accepting the
price schedules, really joined with
the control committee and the
NRA In stabilizing the produc
tion and sale of lumber.

Hutton Wanted to Be King of
Temple, Plea Made in
Counter-Suit
LOS ANGELES, Dec, 20. (JP)
Scantily dressed show girls and a
breach-of promise suit which Da
vid L. Hutton lost to an attractive
nurse were mentioned prominent
ly today by Aimee Semple Mc
pherson, the evangelist, who sued
her baritone-voiced husband for a
divorce.
Her request for a severance of
the marital ties was contained In
a cross complaint and answer to
the divorce action Hutton brought
against her several months ago
while she was in a Paris hospital.
Aimee's nine page cross com
plaint, filed by E. A. Adams, her
attorney, a few hours before a
train bringing her home from the
east for Christmas arrived here,
cited a long list of mental cruel
ties and martial shortcomings,
particularly his association with
"scantily dressed show girls whom
he permitted to caress and kiss
bim."
Claiming that Hutton caused
her "mental anguish and humllia-'
tlon" by insisting that she pay the
$5000 breach of promise judg
ment awarded Myrtle St. Pierre,
a Pasadena nurse, Mrs. Hutton's
complaint was rushed here by mail
plane from Cleveland where she
signed the papers last Sunday.
Asks for Restoration of
Her Original Name
She explained she was forced
to file the cross complaint for
"immediate relief" and asked that
her true name, Aimee Semple
McPherson, be restored to her so
she may carry on her religious
work "without the disrepute that
Hutton has caused to his name."
The evangelist, who has been
on an extended preaching tour,
charged that Hutton abandoned
his promise to further religion and
entered Into various vaudeville
engagements. He is now a master
of ceremonies at a Hollywood
night club.
"He used his vehicle as a means
of obtaining publicity for him
self," the complaint stated, "and
ridiculing the cross complaint by
undignified acts. He allowed him
self to be photographed with
scantily dressed show girls whom
he permitted to caress and kiss
him. He showed by this an utter
disregard of the marital status of
the parties and disclosed a marked
attitude of indifference toward bis
wife's ideals, wishes and desires."
