Germany Hides Fight
Against Enemies
Behind Strictest
Secrecy Cloak
BERLIN. Feb. 13. WV-'The grim
silent struggle by the Nazi regime
to exterminate all alleged anti-
government tendencies in social
religious athletic commercial and
student organizations of the third
retch persisted Thursday with re-
newed vigor.
The chief characteristic of the
under-cover movement on a na-
tion-wide front was a widespread
screen of secrecy illuminated fit-
fully here and there by briel
flashes of information.
Informed sources said that per-
haps the most significant among
the recent disclosures was Wednes-
day’s announcement that district
governors henceforth would take
orders from the Gestapo the secret
state police?.
This was interpreted as an in-
dication of an immediate carrying
out of promises by Nazi leaders for
more ruthless more determined
action against enemies within the
reicn.
Rhineland points were system-
atically silent after the recent raids
against Catholics.
The campaign went on. neverthe-
less. with prison sentences for a
number of communists allegedly
comauflaging their organization as
an athletic association dissolution
of such minor organizations as
women's coffee shops and a warn-
ing to students at Hanover that at-
tempts to resume their old frater-
nity affilaitions would be punished by
a closing of avenues of post-grad-
uate employment.
Informed sources said the Gest-
apo. behind this campaign was
more thafi an organization of sal-
aried detectives. It was described
as a secret order of picked men
devoted to the Nazi cause.

TUXJ3A. Okla.. Feb. 1J. UP—
Fastidious Tulsa diners have de-

Because—believes Dr. T. W. Stal-

the dignity of a game bird As a
game bird unprotected he will be-
come extinct.
And Tulsa suddenly is enthusias-
tic over crow meat. Hospitals
and schools are experimenting
in crow cookery housewives have
proclaimed the bird a choice mor-
sel and there is a market price on
his head.
Butchers have small boys out

‘If AAA Unconstitutional

WASHINGTON Feb. 13. Sen-
ator Norris (R-Neb) declared Wed-
! nesday that the supreme court is
"for all practical purposes a con-
tinuous constitutional convention"
and added its AAA decision "can
not stand if our country Is to live
and prosper."
Taking the floor to defend the
administration’s new farm pro-
I gram the republican independent
made the first speech of the day
in the debate that is expected to
bring a final vote on It Friday
i night.
"The people can change the con-
gress. but only God can change the
supreme court" he said.
Referring to Secretary AFallace’s
description of the court's process-
ing tax refund order as "the great-
est legalised steal" in American
history Norris observed that might
be erroneous but that it undoubt-
edly was “the greatest gift since
God made salvation free.”
He said the soil conservation-
crop control program may be de-
clared unconstitutional "under exist-
ing court conditions’’ but that it
was "the only hope."
Referring to the court’s opinion
that congress had no power to
i regulate agriculture production he
said if that decision stood “then a
large portion of the laws congress
I passed in the last 100 years are
absolutely unconstitutional."
In this group of laws the Ne-
braskan listed relief from drought
the Jobless insect control and even
the creation of the bureau of
reclamation and the department of
