WASHINGTON, D. C, July 3. The
Inside story of how congressmen
slipped over that law allowing them
selves to get reltef
loans from the
government la
one of the great
political classics
of all time.
Two senators
did tt. One la a
new-comer from
a mid - western
state. You prob
ably never have
heard his name
unless you reside
in his stats.
A fellow in his
Pan) Mali on
home town haa a tnortgago on one
of his houses, but cannot get the
relief offered in the home owners'
mortgage aet-up because the house Is
owned by a senator.
. The senator went around among
his friends In the senate, telling them
the story end pointing out that such
& situation needed correcting.
Another senator, who has large cot
ton Interests In a south Atlantic state,
was more interested than anyone else.
He la an old-timer who knows how to
get things done.
He took the mid-westerner's Idea
and expanded It- A nameless bill was
quietly introduced, amending the
criminal code so congressmen could
borrow from the farm credit admin
istration as weU as the mortgage re
lief administration.
Not a word ever got outside the
inner congressional circle about the
bill until after It had been passed In
the senate and was pending In the
house.t Thi the story got out, and
members of the house rebelled. Word
was slipped from the White House
that thft bill would be vetoed if the
house passed It.
Such a. -setback would, have dls-.
mayed two less spirited men than the
two senators. But they had the same
plonserlug spirit which brought Co
lumbus across the ocean and aent
Lindbergh back across It. only they
were more modest than either Co
lumbus or Lindbergh and they chose
to operate with privacy.
There was Just one way for them
to make the house and the president
accept their little bill and that was to
tuck It Into some big bill, marked
"must" on the administration pro
gram. They ohose the housing bill,
knowing full well the president could
not veto that.
But so modest were they about their
work that no one discovered their
prank until four days sfter congress
adjourned. Then President Roosevelt's
housing experts came across a strange
single sentence, away back In title V
of the bill. It did not stop with open
ing up the coffers of the FCA and
HOLC to congressmen, but took the
lid off virtually every ether govern
ment relief agency as well. Mr.
Roosevelt hesitated, but finally signed
the bill and said nothing about the
matter.
As a result of the successful frui
tion of this great work of relief for
poor congressmen, who only get $0500
a year (plus mileage), e. movement
Is afoot among newsmen to strike
off a medal to the two persevering
senators.
The motif suggested la that of an
Ml on a background of two crossed
palms.
If you think there Is suy skulldug
gery behind this business you arc
mistaken. You Just do not under
stand. Any congressman can explain
It to you.
Tho explanation Is that, after all,
congressmen are human beings. Even
If they get 9500 a year (plus mile
age), some of them are In distress If
not actually In want. They have
farms, homes, businesses (all kinds
of businesses). Other people who hive
farms, homes, businesses arc getting
money from the government. It Is
rank discrimination for congressmen
not to get It.
To think otherwise you must be a
auspicious soul. You must believe thit
the congressmen are going to exert
political pressure on government of
ficials to get unfair or even dlsifonest
loans, or that they will get moi con
sideration from government relief
agencies than the average citizen.
You must suspect that some time in
the future these same congressmen
will next pass a law canceling the
loans they got, so they will not have
to pay the money back.
The fact that the transactions sre
not to be made In public does not
mean anything, because the govern
ment will have a secret record of
them. Also, government appraisers
will certainly fix honest rallies fjr
the loans, even though they may bo
political appolnteea of the congress
man whose property they evaluate.
And you may rest assured that
democrats will not be loaned more
than republicans, and that the a 1
ministratlon would surely not use Its
private knowledge about the loans V
make borrowing congressmen vote the
way It wants.
In fact. It la all to be very honest
and fair, even If a little belowboard.
If you think otherwise, you Just
do not know congressmen.

Hindenburg
Approves of
Hitler's Acts
(Copyright 1934, by The Associated Press.)
BERLIN, July 2. (AP) The list of executions mounted rapidly to
night. It was reported 60 have been put to death In Berlin atone. In a
source usually reliable It was stated tho "heads will roll" edict has pro
duced a toll mounting Into hundreds.
The flow of blood together with
well authenticated prediction that
Premier Hermann Wilhelm Gocrlng
will soon replace Franz von Papen as
vice chancellor, whipped the political
pot Into a new fury,
To Be President
Among variously reported plans for
the future of Chancellor Hitler's po
litical regime was one that Hitler will
assume the presidency of Germany
on the death of Von Hindenburg.
Germany's grand old man of war and
peace, who is 111 at his home In Neu
deck. A bold stroke from President Paul
Von Hindenburg today, calling the
relchswehr to the defense of Vice
Chancellor Franz Von Papen's safety,
waa quickly followed by advices from
usually well Informed quarters that
the vice chancellor would resign, or
would be ousted at the Instigation of
Chancellor Hitler, probably tomorrow.
Advisors said that Prussian Pre
mier Hermann Wilhelm Goering
would succeed Von Papen in the vice
chancellory.
President Von Hindenburg, who
earlier In the day had sent his con
gratulatlons and blessings to both
Hitler and Goering, threatened a
state of siege if Von Papen were vic
timized for his recent bold stand In
criticizing some nazl policies.
A guard of special blackshlrt sol
diers was delegated to ensure Von
Papen's saJety.
Hindenburg Gives OK
The ultimate fate of the vice chan
cellor, bitter conservative critic of
some of the nazl methods, had be
come a question of burning moment
in Germany when his friend and pa
tron, President Von Hindenburg, gave
his blessing to Chancellor Hitler to
day. The president from his retreat In
Neudeck where he is lying 111 tele
graphed the chancellor:
"You have saved the German peo
ple from serious dangers. I express
to you my deep thanks and gratitude,
with cordlaly regards."
So far as was known to the general
public, Von Papen was still forbidden
to leave his apartment adjoining
Hitler's. Several of his close collabo
rators were dead.
Higher-Ups Lose Lives
Those executed in Saturday's ruth
less "liquidation" of nazl extremists
and rightists opposed to the nazl re
gime. Included Wernor Von Alvens
leben. Von Papen's close friend. The
vice chancellor's adjutant, Prledrlch
Von Tschlrsky, was reported to have
committed suicide. Von Papen's sec
retary, Hubert on Bose, was said to
have gone the same way.
Others close to Von Papen were
said to have been given the alterna
tive of doing away with themselves
or facing tho firing squad.
It was apparent to all that Hitler
and his chief adjutant, Hermann Wil
helm Goering, were, in the present
situation at least, firmly in the sad
dle. With principal leaders of the oppo
sition already dead and other shoot
ings rumored hourly, opposing forces
had no directing heads to lead them
into action.
Government buildings were still
heavily guarded by police today and
police with rifles walked the streets.
The blackshlrtcd schutz staffel,
Goerlng's special guardsmen, were
held in readiness for any emergency.
eerjin was going about Its business,
but the atmosphere was still tensely
charged as rumors floated back and
forth through the streets.
In these rumors France emerged as
the "mysterious foreign power" which
Hitler charged Saturday with having
been in communication wth the con
spirators against htm.
The French embassy denied flatly
that the French government had any
connection with the conspiracy, but
the rumors continued tn circulation.
Among the kaleidoscopic develop
ments was the arrest of Major Mueld
ner Von Muelheim, for many years
adjutant to the former Crown Prince
Frledrich Wilhelm who was taken
Into custody because of hi known
friendship for Oeneral Kurt Von
Schleicher. The latter, former chan
cellor and firm monarchist, was killed
"restating arrest' Saturday.
Quarters close to the government
indicated they felt the Hohenzollern
house was in no way implicated and
that Von Muel helm's arrest was on a
purely personal basis.
F.-Crown, Prince Home
The former crown prince returned
today from his estate at Oles, Silesia,
and said that he had been molested
In no way white he was there or
whll he was traveling. Prince August
Wilhelm, the kalr's fourth son. was
reported on good authority to be at
his home in Potsdam with his move
menu unrestricted.
In this connection it was pointed
out that the whole former imperial
family appeared to be keeping strictly
out of the situation, No member
mild make even the slightest comment.

FEW OF ACCUSED
BERLIN. July 3. (AP) A black
shirted member of the Schutz Staffel.
pick of the storm troops, today gave
the Associated Press an eye-witness
account of the slaughter of 60 storm
troopers in Berlin.
Himself obviously a member of one
of the firing squads of eight, he whis
pered his story in a room so firmly
closed that the sound of a human
voice could not penetrate to the
outside. He was trembling and on the
verge of collapse.
The executions, he said, were ex
pedited in rapid fire order. The ac
cused were brought before a special
Nazi tribunal provided for last De
cember, now functioning for the first
time.
He revealed that the kaiser's proud
cadet training school at Lichterselde
In a Berlin suburb, where Prussian
officers learned the goose step, was
the scene of the slaughter.
. Each man, the Informant said,, was
given three minutes to be heard by
three Judges before being taken out
to be shot. (
"All of them," he said, "died with
out bandages over their eyes all of
them refused to be blindfolded.
"Ernst (Earl Ernst, storm troop
leader) and S trass r (Gregor Strasser)
were shot there.
"Ernst, as he turned toward the
squad, cried 'I am innocent 1'"
The eye-witness said men with mer
itorious records were given the priv
ilege, as was Ernest Roehm, of com
mitting suicide, but few, he said, ac
cepted. "The execution of one storm troop
leader named Ehrdt was held up
momentarily by the arrival of an
order from Chancellor Hitler," he
said, "giving him the right to choose
suicide or the firing aquad. ,
"Ehrdt, an aviator, held the highest
military decoration and for this the
chancellor extended the favor. But
Ehrdt refused to shoot himself, pro
claiming he was innocent."
After having seen sixty shot, In
timating than many more than that
rcll in the cadet school, the eye-witness
said the strain of the ordeal
caused him to leave.
Another eye-witness described the
circumstances of General Von
Schleicher's death and that of his
wife In their home near Babelaburg.
the Hollywood of Germany.
This man said a motor bus wi'Ji
eight heavily armed troopers stopped
tn front of their home and marcbtd
Into the house.
"Later," he said, "I heard shots,
and shortly after that the storm
troopers came out."
