DRASTIC PENSION MOVES -BY
CONGRESS UNLIKELY
LIBERAL BROADENING OF
OriAI. SECl RITV EXPECTED
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6 The new
dealers, not excepting the president,
are frankly terrified by the triumphs
of the pension movement.
Conservatives' Jubilation at the
licking of such White House favorites
as the epicene Senator William Glbbs
MeAdoo In California, and young
Congressman William I. MacFarlane
of Texas, has all but obscured the
fact that the men who won wero
much more dangerous. But nothing
scares a liberal politician more than
another politician who out-llberals.

pletely alive to the danger.
.Both MeAdoo and MacFarlane were
personally ehdorsed by the president

to every Californlan over fifty years of

Ij. Olson, who captured the Demo

California, was a backer of the Down

beaten by Ed". Gossett, another pen
sioner, and there's the strongest tes
timony that the strength of W. Lee
O'Danfel. the celebrated flour sales
man who won the Texas governor
- ship, was as much In pension prom
laes as In vaudeville.
In Florida, Senator Claude Pepper's
appeal to the Townsendltes was at
onoe cringing and blatant, yet It gave
him victory. And In scores of congres
sional races all over the country, less
conspicuous demagogues are trying tc
hoist themselves on to the public
payroll by making unfulflllable
promises to the old people. There can
be no doubt that the new dealers
are right In seeing handwriting, and
very threatening handwriting, on the
wall. -
Just how strong the pensioners
will be In the next congress, one
can't tell until the November returns
are In. Yet It may be presumed that
the successes of Pepper and Downey.

PARTY SIDESTEPS
Almost Entire Statement De
voted to Conditions in
Germany Denies For
eign Power Pact Plans
NURNBERO, Germany. Sept.
(;p)Richsfuehrer Adolf Hitler ig
nored Czechoslovakia In his procla
mation today to the tenth annua?
nazi congress, disappointing anxious
European statesmen who had honed
for an Inkling of Germany's Inten
tions in central Europe.
Almost his whole 6.000-word proc
lamation dealt with inner condition
of Germany, particularly economic
ally, which the fuehrer issured his
followers was so healthy the nation
"will be without worries for foo3
for years to come.''
Through the voice of district leader
Adolf Wagner, who read the fuehrer's
proclamation in congress hen, mcier
repudiated any intention of form
ing a pact with foreign powers.
"I have never had nor have this
intention." the chancellor declared.
Statement Cheered
The statement was cheered thun
derously.
Instead, he declared he was of
fering the people a "greater Ger
many" referring to the absorption
last March 13 of Austria and the
union of "six and a half million Ger
mans who today spiritually unite
here . . . stronger thai) ever ... in
a great indissoluble community."
The absence of any word on Czech
oslovakia undoubtedly was disap
pointing to the 45 frock-coated Tor
elgn diplomats who had accepter1.

a sea of uniforms. In the packed hall.
Among them was Hugh ft, Wilson.

Never before had an American. am
bassador accepted the Invitation tc
Nurnbcrg. -
Besides his brief denial of any In
tention of aligning Germany in a
pact, the chancellor's only allusions
to foreign affairs were an evident
reference to Italy's newly-born antt
Jewish measures and a denunciation
of the "International Jewish world
enemy." '
Hitler linked the "Jewish virus"
with the "world pest" of Bolshevism.
Stresses Red Menace
"More threatening than ever.'' hs
said, "the bolshevlst danger of the
destruction of nations rises abov-s
thia world."
With 31 Italian fascists in the au
dience, headed by Roberto Faranae
ci, former secretary of the fascls
party, the fuehrer lauded the "mu
tual spiritual conception" which
"leads us more and more humanely
together."
He expressed joy "another great
European power shares the
same conception and with admlraole
determination has drawn the most,
far-reaching conclusions."
Greater Germany, Its inner strength
and the annexation of Austria pro
vided his main themes.
Germany's house Is In order, he
declared, and he advised the dem
ocracies to follow her example it
they wanted to revive world trade.
PRAHA, Sept. 6. p The Ceech
government anxiously awaited reac
tion today from two quarters to Its
sweeping concessions to the German
population of the republic.
The first question was. 'would this
'last and ultimate offer,' formulated
at a 4 'i, -hour cabinet session last
night, satisfy the sudeten Gertmn
party which in long-winded negotia
tions has been insisting on a degree
of autonomy amounting almost to
Independence?"
The second question: "How would
the Czechs, who have been arouse:!
to nationalistic fervor by the pat
rlotlc press, receive the news of t
government retreat under Germin
pressure?"
But while the sudeten Ocrmans
were elated and the Czechs were wor
ried, neither had a substantial basis
for Judging how the situation was al
tered by the cabinet meeting last
night.
Government circles hinted many
of the sudeten'a eight points were
met half-way, but It was believed de
mands Czechoslovakia abandon alli
ances with France and Soviet Rus
sia were definitely refused. It was
also thought Czechoslovak! was un
willing to grant the sudeten Ocr
mans greater voice In determining
military polcy.
A well-informed source said Czech
oslovakia had wanted to reorganize
the slate on a system of canton,
tike Switzerland's, so that three all
German districts would get virtual
autonomy.

FRANCE SENDING
TO MAGiNOT LINE
Thousands of Troops and
Tons of Military Equip
ment Brought Up Popu
lace Talks Possible War
By CHARLES S. FOLT7, Jr.
IN THE MAGINOT ZONE, North
eastern France, Sept. 6. ( AP)- Tens
of thousands of troops and thou
sands of tons of mltltaryv equipment
arrived In northeastern France and
vanished into the Maglnot line to
day. France's border population talked
of little else besides the calling to
colors of an estimated 300,000 re
servists to "watch for trouble from
over there." "
"Over there." to Frenchmen in the
Maglnot zone, means the German :
side of the frontier where the Sleg-
fried line was manned with a strong
force of Gormany's crack troops. i
Renin hi Underground !
In the main Rtrcets of Metz, Ver
dun. Uancy and other Maglnot zone
centers there were fewer troops vis
ible than usual. The answer was all
leaves were cancelled and that the
troops remained in the underground
fortifications and garrisons of the
Maglnot zone.
Troop trains brought thousands
to these centers, but most of them
dropped off at tiny hamlets which
are only dots on tourist maps but
of vital importance on military maps.
"He" that means Adolf Hitler in
the frontier zone "would think a
long time If he knew what walta
under these fields," said an officer
near the border.
The highways and byways of the
Maglnot area showed travelers who
knew what to look for that France's
northeastern frontier was on a war
footing.
Order Travelers On
Whenever civilian motorists stop
on the roads in certain regions
armed soldiers suddenly appear from
the middle of apparently deserted
pastures and tersely order the trav
elers on.
We only warn you once," the
sentries say.
Since last Friday activity on the
Maglnot roads has been particularly
heavy. Whole truck trains of supplies
come and go.
All along the roads little groups
of soldiers returning from leave
march back to their posts.
"Reservers do not take the high
ways," an officer said. "They get off
their trains and step right Into the
line."
HARVEST OF PEACHES

Harvesting of the valley peach
