Herr Hitler.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 16.--YOU cannot;
belelve much of the newa you get
from Germany these daya. Hitler has
the press by the throat.
Hl regime lets only what It con
siders favorable and lets In virtually
nothing at all. The aversge German
knows leas about what la going on
in the outside world than the average
darkey In darkest Africa. Blmllaru
we know little about the true condi
tion there.
A fairly authentic Inside survey of
the situation can be pieced together
from aeveral confidential reporte re
cently received here. These come
from official and unofficial person-,
ages whose names cannot be divulged,
but who have lately come from Ger
many and know whereof they speak.
Their views can be summarized as
follows:
Mp Service.
Hitler' commands wildly enthusi
astic lip service from 99 per cent of
the German people. There l no op
position. Traveling through Ger
many you would think he is aa popu
lar as Mussolini In Italy.
That situation is amply Illustrated
fey a letter from a Berlin Jew to hta
cousin in New York. The Jew said:
"Hitler la a fine man. Everything
Is fine here. We are all very happy.
T. S.: Brother Isadora held a contrary
view, we burled him yesterday."
Falsifications.
To read the unemployment figures
In the German newspapers you would
think that Hitler haa done better
than Roosevelt. They say the unem
ployed army haa been reduced from
around live million to two millions.
The trick In that is that Hitler has
transferred most of the jobless Into
an organised army where they do a
little work for the state and receive
.the equivalent of about 10 cente a
day In black bread and poor Jooa.
Tim fundamental private employ
ment situation is thus temporarily
ouleted but not cured.
The business situation la suffering
from the Jewish boycott. Germany's
unfavorable trade balance ta an ever
widening gap. Export are running
lnceraslngly below laat year.
Tola haa caused Hitler to try eas
ing up on the Jewo. Many Israelite
are being saved by the Intercession
of prominent Nazis. So often have
Nazi officials come to the dictator
with private appeals for Jewish
friends hst Hitler recently remarked
privately:
"There muat be 65 mltlon Jews In
Germany, because fully that many
have amurht intercessions wnn me
through my associates."
(.AS.
War preparations are supposed to
have been started in German labora
tories long before Hitler came Into
nor. He haa accelerated them.
Chancellories throughout Europe sus.
pect the Germans are probably better
equipped in chemical science than any
other nation now.
They know this talk about battle
ahlDs and guns Is largely lnternatlon
l nniitlral hooev. Those are obsolete
weapons. However, the Ingenuity of
man has never been able to devise a
weapon for which there is no defense.
The French, Italian, English and even
our own chemical laboratories 'have
not been Idle. They also have secrets.
The French .particularly, are supposed
to hsve developed a deadly gas which
would do the work of an army corps.
Germany has no credit. She has no
money. Hitler has succeeded in sur
rounding himself with international
enemies with whom he cannot hope
to- cope in the long run. He Is losing
the friendship of Italy. Austria has
successfully barred the door to him.
No person and no nation can live
and prosper the way he Is going about
It.
The day cannot be long delayed
when reason will supplant prejudice
in the minds of the German people
Anger cannot long be maintained.
( Thta means Mr. Hitler will moder
ate himself as Mussolini did. or else
he will be tossed out.
Most observers believe he will be
tossed out.

sented Klamath Mayor
Appears.
At the public hearing opened thla
morning In the city hall by Public
Utilities Commissioner C. M. Thomas,
concerning the rates, practices and
servlcea of the California Oregon
Power company, W. H. Muirhead.
manager of the Beaver Portland Ce
ment company presented grievances,
showing that hie company la required
to pay almost double the power ratea
of similar flrma on the Pacific coast.
Claude B. Lester, chief engineer
for the commission was also a wit
ness In the morning hearing, and his
testimony brought out that errors,
totalling" in money 188.a2.73, had
been made by the power company In
toe report asked by the commission
on the order dated December 31,
1916.
In his opening remarks, Commis
sioner Thomas stated that "the com
mission desires to perfect the records
of the Investigation by the auditors
and engineers upon that period that
Includes the orders of tne tnen puo
llc service commission of 1918, which
at that time made the order fixing
the valuation cheeked by tne engin
eers as shown by the analyala. Thla
disclosed a number of errors and mis
takes carried Into the valuation as
fixed.
Mr. Muirhead was then sworn In
by Commissioner Thoraaa. and went
Into detail of the operation of the
cement plant, on which construction
waa started In 1814, but due to the
war, waa discontinued until 1918,
when- another run was startad. He
told how the 'company entered Into
a contract with Copco for 1 yeara
at the rate of f, mills per kilowatt
hour at that time.
A forced discontinuance resulted in
the present management taking over
the plant In 1919, and the group
found It necessary to cancel the old
contract with the power company.
Before entering the new schedule,
Mr. Muirhead testified, the power
company presented bills totalling
5000 or 8000 of the old company.
In 1919 the cement company entered
Into a contract for five years, on a
rate averaging . mllla per kilowatt
hour, and continued under thla rate
until 1924.
In March of that year, he received
a letter from Copeo stating that ratea
were Increasing, under the new sched
ule, and would be effective the next
day. Mr. Muirhead aad he immediate
ly came to Medford to confer with
the officials. He said he pointed out
that his firm was the only large one
under schedule at that time, and
their request showed a 17 per cent
Increase. The commission had held a
hearing. Muirhead aald. and he had
not been notified.
"Every other cement company in
the northwest operates under a spe
cial schedule," Mr. Muirhead said.

which he said hla company did. He
told the commissioner that hla com-
pan.' found It hard to compete wim
(hose on the coast that operawo un
der special ratea.
Mr. Muirhead then went Into detail
concerning plans of the Beaver Port
land Cement company to construct
Its own plant across the river In 1928,
and that they were prevented by le-
gal action taken by the Copco. The
case at the present time la before the
United States district court of ap
peals In San Francisco where It haa
been pending since last December.
The difficulties of establishing a
private plant, possibilities of Copco
taking It over, and other phasea were
brought out by Mr. Muirhead. who
declared that many of hla competi
tors operated under ratea a low as
three mills, mostly on surplus power.
He gave 7.8 mills aa the price hla
firm pays when In full operation,
nd aald that a higher rate was de
manded when not In full operation.
Figures for 1929 and 1930 presented
by the manager showed the rate paid
averaged 7.8 milts.

CHICAGO, Oct. 18. (XP) A new
witness sppeared on the scene today
to add hla version to the crash ol
the United Air lines New York to
Chicago plane with the death of
seven persons as federal agent were
conducting a cross country hunt for
clues to the cause of the disaster.
The man, Francis. Wiseman, a farm
er living near the ecene of the crash
near Chesterton, Intl., mistook Henry
R. Corhett, Chicago Insurance actu
ary, for an official Investigator yes
terday as Corbett was viewing the
scene and told him his story. ,
"J wse walking near my house
when I heard the roar of the plsne's
motor and looked up and saw it. fly
ing towards Chicago." he ssld. "While
I was watching it there was a terrific
blast and then flashes of fire. The
tall of the plane floated away and
the front part shot up In the air
several hundred feet like a skyrocket."
Hla version differed from official
opinion which had settled on the be
lief that the cabin section of tne
ship went Into a nose dive at once.
Wiseman told Corbett he was win
ing to tell his story to officials, but
had been kept away from tne inquest
due to a broken arm.
yesterday a report that a mysterl-
oua parcel carried by one of the pass
engers may have contained powerful
explosives and caused the blast was
run down and the passenger cleared
by officials of the line at Newark,
N. J., from where the ship departed
on Its Ill-fated trip.
Eastern officials of the company
said that If any explosive was aboard
it probably waa secreted In a com
partment behind the rear cabin wall
where blankets were kept.
Another theory that was being In
vestigated was that escaping gas
fumes had collected In a pocket In
the baggage compartment and a
