STATE DEPARTMENT DON'T INTENU L'KKEMElf ALSO WI,SH TO AVOID WIDENING GERMAN BREACH HOPE MODERATES WILL OUST NAZI EXTREMISTS WASHINGTON, Dec, 7. Under stress of the emotions aroused by the recent paroxysm of Nazi bestiality. It was natural to accept as a fine gesture the recall "to report" of our ambassador to Germany. Now, how ever, it's time to realize the tremen dous potential Importance of Hugh Wilson's presence at the state depart ment on Indefinite home assignment. A gesture in foreign affairs is Just m meaningful as a gesture In private life. A nation that makes gestures which are not backed up Is in the same position as a little boy who tosses rocks at his friends without being ready to take a rock or so In return. And there Is no doubt now that Wilson's recall was Intended to be as strong a gesture of reproof to Germany as the president was cap able of making. This fact was under lined, much to the surprise of many state department officials, when the Germans answered the American ges ture by the recall of Ambassador Dleckhoff, also "to report." Had -the president feared the con sequences of his gesture, he might have sent Wilson packing back to Germany Immediately after their conference at Warm Springs. Wilson would have "reported."

"Resumption of normal activity Is a good sign, for there has been quite an Interval of quiet," said Dr. Rlch ter. He explained that In the past year, while many other sections of the world had violent earthquakes, Cali fornia was quiet. Periods of quiet, seismologists and geologists feel gen erally, are not normal In sections where mountains are growing, and such quiet Indicates stresses are be ing built up and perhaps the situa tion may lead to a serious condition where a heavy relieving shock might occur.

O., Dec. 7. (AP) Counsel for Anna Marie Hahn. sched uled to die in the electric chair tonight, sought a writ of mandamus in federal court today as the last legal step In the fight to save her life. Joseph Hoodln, tin condemned poi son slayer's attorney, contended she was not given proper opportunity to defend herself. Judge Mell G. Under wood said ho would heap, the applica tion later today. Meanwhile, Mrs. Hahn fought for composure In her cell after collapsing earlier. The nerves of the condemned poi son slayer crumbled and ahe sobbed hysterically after Gov. Martin L. Davey declined to intervene In the electrocution, scheduled for about a p. m. ' - -' -'--' "1 had no Idea he would do this to me," moaned Mrs. Hahn, repeatedly kissing a picture or her 12-year-old son, Oscar. Finally last night, she fell In a faint in her penitentiary "denth row" cell. Two matrons placed her on a bed and revived her with spirits. She sobbed until she dropped Into a fitful sleep. Warden J. C. Woodward said Oscar will be permitted to remain with his mother until her last meal is served, about 5:30 p. m. Mrs. Halm's last hours probably will be spent with the prison's Cath olic chaplain, the Rev. John A. Sulli van, for whom she has been embroi dering altar cloths. Joseph H. Hoodln, her attorney, asked permission to confront the gov ernor with the condemned woman's son In a last desperate plea for clem ency, but Davey said he would not see them. The governor pictures Mrs. Hahn as a "cold-blooded" killer who slew In "remorseless deliberation for money." A 32-year-old blonde born In Ba varia and never admitted to U. S. citizenship, Mrs. Hahn was convicted of administering poison to 78-year-old Jacob Wagner, a Cincinnati gar dener.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7 4 John Nance Garner Is likely to treat the capital to a fine brand of political poker during the next two years. He will bring expert knowledge to the game. Oarner not only knows politics but he knows alt the Ins and outs of poker, though he ha retired from active practice. His friends believe he will keep silent about the presidential boom started for him In Texas yesterday. Talk of Oarner for president now brings an altogether different re ppon v from some of then same Easterners than It did In 1933. Must persons agree Garner will play a powerful part In the 1940 Democratic convention. Some go so far as to say the convention and the party may be torn apart by two faction. a conservative group led by Oarner and a lltvral one led hy President Roosevelt.
