WASHINGTON. July 37. The pre
vailing heat wave la nothing In the
way of high temperature to the lan
iruaee which la being used by the
rani and file of the air corps re
garding Major-Oeneral Benjamin Fou
.ols. Tlic occasion for thla outburst
of temper Is the signing by the gen
eral of the report of the Baker board
on aviation. General sentiment In
the corps was for separation of lta
activities from the general staff of
the war department. The filers
wanted to be completely out of con
trol of the general staff.
But. the Baker board report recom
mended no separation of the air force,
and. since General Poulols gaTe bis
approval to this attitude by signing
the report, the air corps feels that he
sold It down the river. On the other
band, Jimmy Doollttle'a stand In
(iling a minority report contending
lor the freeing of the air corps from
war department domination baa en
deared him to the rank and file.
Also, Bill Mitchell's blast condemn
ing the report haa Increased bis In
fluence with the men, which waa al
ways very great. They regard him as
their spokesman and leader, and have
been enthusiastically for him ever
since he aacrlfced hts military career
by publicly denouncing hla mtlltary
auperlors for Ignorance and Incompe
tence In the field of aviation.
" Mitchell's attack on the report was
encouraged by soma of the air corps
officers who belong to the Impatient
and restless element. Aa soon aa the
report was circulated in the war de
partment, before it was made public,
they were in touch with Mitcneu
and urging him to take a crack at It.
Thla he did very promptly, describ
ing It as "Just another whltewaah"
and "the greatest exhibition of igno
rance that ever came out of the de
partment." He said the army 'chiefs did not
know anything about aviation ami
did not want to know anything. The
statement that thla country waa Im
mune from attack by air by any fleet
which would have to croaa the sea
waa singled out for especially caustic
treatment. According to Mitchell, an
enemy air force could reach Alaska
with comparative ease and from there
strike terror Into this country. He
said a force of enemy planes flying at
height of 35.000 feet could reach
New Vork from Alaska without being
heard and with a load of nauseating
gaa, which one plane alone could
tarry, that would be able to cause the
evacuation of the city. This la what
' Mitchell believes, and the air corps
t applauds.
Advices received here from Ger
many are such as to give official cir
cles less concern about the political
than the economic situation there.
The threat to the Hitler regime which
pave Der Fuehrer the Jitters and led
to the butchery of those suspected
of seeking to overthrow him is
thought to have diverted his atten
tion from foreign enterprises and
made hlrr. realize he had enough to
do at home for the present. This
leswns the danger to peace in
Furope.
But the economic situation in Ger
many Is reported to be growing rap
Idly worse. She cannot obtain credit
sufficient to carry on ordinary com
mercial transactions. Foreign traders
are Insisting upon cash payments.
This applies to the cotton supply.
Two-thirds of It Is not psld for and
. Is being released oniy iot casn.
Crop conditions also are not good.
Drouth made a short potato crop and
purcnajes of 4.000.000 marks' worth
of potatoes have had to be made since
the first of June-
The government, which mesns
Hitler and his Immediate crowd, Is in
something of a pickle because of this
crop situation. Scarcity puts prices
of all food products up and the
fanners benefit, but the millions In
the towns and cities suffer. If the
government arbitrarily fixes prices at
a low figure, to please the city
dwellers, It angers the fanners, and
tf It leaves them high, to benefit the
farmers. It displeases the city dwellers.
And since the government assumes
to regulnte everything and haa prom
ised everything. It Is bound to get
blamed whichever course It takes.
The government Is also being forced,
whether It wishes or not, to step In In
the ca,e of other Industries. Indica
tions sre that the next one to be con
trolled will be the textile Industry. It
la said the big Industrialists, who
have all along backed Hitler and have
wd him fr thetr purposes to get
control of IsbT. are beginning to fear
that the government control they In
voked Is getting out of hand. Instead
of being able to manage It for their
own benefit, they see It slowly swal
lowing them up. so that soon the gov
ernment will have taken over every
a thing wa not what they bar-
. 'gatned fr.

MINNEAPOLIS, July 37. (AP)
Minneapolis went to work today un
der military rule a form of dicta
torship pressed Into command at the
behest of Governor Floyd B, Olson,
who feared further violence in tho
truck drivera strike.
Sixty-eight persons were Injured,
most of them wounded and one fat
ally, by police shotguns a week ago
today when pickets attempted to
halt a loaded truck.
Armed guardsmen patrolled the
downtown district as federal media
tors, the Rev. Francis Haas nnd E.
H. Dunnigan, prepared a new peace
plan they expected to complete to
day and the employera advisory
committee again publicly blamed
communists for the strike. All efforts
to settle the controversy so far have
failed.
For the most part, citizens were
unaffected by control of the Nat
ional Guard. Striking drivers, how
ever, were forbidden to congregate
out of doors In large numbers with
out written consent of Adjutant
General E. A. Walsh. This order also
applied to all gatherings of 100 per
sona or more.
Employers were unable to move
commercial vehicles, save trucks
bearing necessities, without official
permits from the military. Trucks
that did move today, piled the streets
without armed police convoya for the
first time In almost a week.
Deliveries of breads tuff a, milk. Ice.
beer, gasoline were unhampered by
guardsmen. This did not include de
liveries of pie, cake and pastry, for
which permit were required. Auto
mobile parking In the downtown area
was forbidden from fi a. m. today un

BK STRIKE ORDER
Violence Flares Anew
Other Ports Moving Cargo
Pickets Halt Train
Shippers Grow Impatient
PORTLAND, Ore., July 37, (P)
Portland today remained virtually a
closed port as the waterfront strike
passed through Its 80th day.
Harbor activity slowed as the re
sult of violence last night which
stopped work at the Oceanic ter
minal and Municipal terminal No. 1
This caused diversion of some cargo
to Seattle and the probable cancella
tion of several schedules which naj
provided for additional steamer calls
here.
Northern and southern Pacific coast
ports were moving freight to and
from waterfront terminals. Here,
however, the longshore and marine
warkers pickets remained firm.
Work Few Vessels.
At Portland, trucks and trains were
not moving to or from terminals, and
limited cargo was being worked on
only eight vessels.
Two longshoremen were arrested
last night after they had allegedly
beaten up two non-union workers,
and another relief worker was beaten
and robbed. The Incidents occurred
near terminal No. 1. As a result, of
ficials of the American-Hawaiian line
said no Immediate schedules for this
port would be provided unless the
situation here altered, and that mean-:
while ships would load at Seattle,
San Francisco and Los Angles. A
train of cara was stopped by pickets
as the crew drew near the Oceanic
terminals. The 16 cars of freight later
were diverged to Seattle.
Reason Obscure.
Officials of nei'her the Interna
tional Lonshoremen's association nor
of the Truck Driver's union here
would give any reason today as to
why operations are going ahead at
other porta and are not at Portland.
They said simply that "It is the best
policy."
Steamship agents and shipper ex
pressed growing impatience with the
situation and planned to discuss It
today with Governor Meier and Miy
or Carson.
No freight wss being handled either
to or from docks in the Portland har
bor. SAN FRANCISCO, July 27. P)
Only two things are holding up the
return to work of striking longshoro
men, President Roosevelt's mediation
board announced today as It resumed
negotiations to settle the walkout of

HEAT FATALITIES

Scorching heat has ben routed after

Cool breezes swept rains into moit

while they brought a sharp drop in
heat fatalities, they afforded no ma

Temperatures broke 43 degrees In
