ATTACKERS OF
AMERICAN GET
JAIL JERMS
BERLIN, Oct. 17. UfV-The two
assailants of Roland Velz. an Amer
ican who was struck in the face
when he failed to salute the Nazi
emblem, were sentenced to six
months imprisonment on charges
os assault and battery in a so-call
ed speed court here today.
Velz. a native of Meriden, Conn.,
was struck twice in the face by the
pair—one a chauffeur, the other a
glass blower—at Duesseldorf, Ger
many.
State’s attorney Von Haarke of
the Prussian ministry of Justice,
acted as prosecutor. He demanded
the six months penalty and the
court agreed.
"Well, that's getting action.**
happily exclaimed a high Ameri
can embassy official on ’earning
of the verdict.
The official, who was intimately
acquainted with the case, said "that
Is great progress. I consider this the
turning point in the treatment of
assailants of foreigners.
'The court acted speedily and
sternly, even though one of the as
sailants was a storm trooper."
However, it developed that both 1
assailants were storm troopers—
Paul Eckhardt. by profession a glass
blower, and Pried Wilbertz a chauf
feur.
Both testified they were greatly
excited when according to Ihelr
Ideas Velz acted as though he nad

Freedom of Press '
Is Endangered By
Code Provisions
CHICAGO, Oct. 17. Vf)—E. H.
Harris of Richmond, Ind., secretary
of the American Newspapers’ as
sociation: said today that the con
stitutional guarantee of a free press
in the United States is in grave
danger of destruction under the
National Recovery administration.
Mr. Harris, publisher of the Rich
mond Palladium and Item, has been
active in the negotiations of the
association for a newspaper code
under the NRA and he spoke today
before the Inland Press association.
Destroyed in Germany
He asserted that the refusal of
the recovery administration to ac
cept two sections of the proffered
code—one intended to safeguard the
freedom of the press and the other
prohibiting unions from organizing
non-union newspaper plants where
employes do npt desire union affilia
tions—had placed in Jeopardy free
Journalists and free government.
“Journalism has been destroyed
entirely in Germany.” Harris said.
“In the United States, congress
has enacted the National Industrial
Recovery act which gives to the
government the right to license all
forms of industry.
“The newspapers of the United
States are now being asked to sign
an agreement with the government
under the NIRA, which will abridge
the right of a free press in this
country.
"Organized labor is in command
of the NRA and is attempting to
organize every department of a
newspaper plant, including even the
news department.
"The application of a censorship
of the press by organised labor is
possible if the newspapers submit to
the demands of unions as expressed
in the NIRA."
Agreement has been reached on
every other clause of the newspap?r
code, Harris oofnted out.
i
Powers Revelwed
Reviewing the powers given the
executive department of the gov
ernment by congress in writing the
recovery act, Harris asserted:
' Many observers have gone so far
as to assert that our constitutional
form of government has been dis
carded. They believe the people of
the United States are submitting to
these changes, because they are in
a state of mind in which they are
unwilling to heed the warnings of
their forefathers and are willing to
accept any plan that will restore
normal conditions.
“But let us remember that the
price we pay for these temporary
expedients is loss to free govern
ment.
“We are now far advanced in this
stage of retrogression.
“The negotiations which the pub
lishers' committee have been -.arry
ing on with the government at
Washington have proved conclusive
ly that there is a plan under way at
Washington—either with or without
Pres. Roosevelt's consent—to apply
•the heat' to the newspaper pub
lishers to force them into line with
this movement."
The committee of 24 publishers
negotiating the code had refused,
he said, to sign any agreement with
out including the two sections. 11
and 14. rejected by the NRA. The
controversial clauses read:
A»k Bargaining Right
“Section 11. in submitting or
subscribing to this code, the pub
lishers do not thereby agree to ac
cept or to comply with any other
requirements than those herein con
tained. or waive any right to ob
ject to the imposition of any fur
ther or different requirements, or
wave any constitutional rights or
consent to the imposition of any re
quirements that might restrict cr
interfere with tl*e Constitutional
guarantee of freedom of the press.
“Section 14. The right of the em
ployer and the employee to bar
gain together free from Interfer
ence by any third party shall not be

affected by this code, and nothing
herein shall require any employe
to join any organisation or to re
frain from joining any organiza
tion in order to secure or retain
employment."
Harris said the 34 publishers who
had unanimously determined these
sections must be included in any
newspaper code were puzzled by
the request of the recovery admin
istrators for the elimination of sec
tion 11. The government repre
sentatives, he said, admitted there
was less unemployment and fewer
wage cuts in the newspaper field
than almost any other industry
under consideration. Harris said it
was demonstrable and admitted by
Gen. Hugh S. Johnson that news
papers pay equitable wages, that
working hours are not excessively
long and that few competent news
paper men are without employ
ment. But, he asserted, "someone
evidently discovered that within
this new law might be found a
means to muzzle the newspapers of
this country."
Attorney for Labor
Harris declared tnat Donald Rich
berg, attorney for the recovery ad
ministration, had specifically de
manded the removal of the labor
section 14, from the code, and that
section ll be eliminated from con
sideration.
“You will recall that Donald
Richberg has been an attorney rep
resenting organized labor for many
years," Harris said. "He evidently
was placed in the N.IR.A. for the
purpose of furthering the interest
of union organizers....union labor
with its four million votes evi
dently hopes to control the gov
ernment at Washington.
“If ail newspaper plants are
unionized, the unions virtually
could exercise a censorship, because
of their power to control the con
tents of the news and editorial
columns.”
With every movement toward
dictatorship, Harris observed, comes
an endeavor by the party m power
to control all mediums of com
munication. through which t.ie
public may be reached with gov
ernment propaganda and by which
criticism of the ruling party may oe
forestalled.
The two means of general com
munication today are the printed
word and radio broadcasting, Har
ris said—radio being successful orJy
when given the assistance of news
papers in bringing the audience to
the receiving set.
'Radio Already Censored’
"There is at present a complete
censorship of radio broadcasting,"
Harris asserted. "Because the gov
ernment has the authority to li
cense the radio, it can m turn
determine who is to speak iny) the
microphone and can control me
speaker's address.... broadcasting
Is under indirect governmental
censorship brought about through
the fear of the government’? power
to revoke the license of any sta
tion which would permit a speaker
before the microphone to criticize
a governmental policy_
"The president of the United
States or Gen. Johnson may have
the use of any broadcasting chain
without cost at any time he wants
K, but no one who desires to
criticise the government will be
allowed time on the chains unless
he holds a position which carries
with it some influence over the
license which the broadcasters hold.’’
The emergency legislation of tne
"bloodless revolution” today may
seem entirely proper, Harris, said,
but he reminded the newspapermen
that “there is a day of reckoning
for all hasty and ill-advised legis
lation which does not take into
consideration its ultimate results.”
Should Pres. Roosevelt fail to
bring back employment, Harris
asked, might not a new leader take
his place with views shaped by a
background of radicalism dic
tatorship?
"A county is only safe tempor
arily under an honest and capable
dictator," he added, “but we must
remember that during such a re
gime the groundwork is usually
for future trouble if that dictator
fails to satisfy the demands of his
people....
“The safeguard against vicious
government and the guarantee of
good government has always been
the right of its citizens to speak
freely or to print their opinions
without any fear of government
reprisals, and then to proceed fear
lessly to the ballot box."

LONDON REPORTS
EVIDENCE READY
(Chicago Tribune Press Service'
LONDON.—The roundup of evi
dence available in Great Britain for
the prosecution of “Baron" Oscar
Hartzell before a federal district
court in Sioux City, la., on charges
of using the mails to defraud and
conspiracy is now complete. Hart
zell, who originally hailed Trom
Iowa. is alleged to have duped
many persons through sales of titles
to the fabulous Sir Francis Drake
estate.
Vice Consul Guy Wray, who heed
ed the American investigation lor
many months, sailed Saturday night
aboard the S S. Roosevelt. He will
go first to Washington to confer
with department of Justice officials
and then will continue to Sioux
City for the opening of the trial on
Oct. 23.
Hartzell faces a maximum sen
tence of 75 years If convicted on all
15 counts contained in the true bill.
Racket Worth Million
Hartzell is said to have worked
longer than any other person at the
estate racket. Millions of dollars
are reported to have been drain
ed from the pockets of gullible 'Tick
ers, particularly in Iowa and Tex
as. by operators claiming they could
obtain title to vast undistributed es
tates in Britain. The contributors
were invariably piomised extrava
gant returns on cash advances.
| They fell so heavily for the golden
I promises that the middle and south
west were converted into a irrit
able bonanza good for thousands
of dollars a year.
Hartzell is alleged to have prom
ised his financial backers he would
recover untold wealth represented
in the mythical estate of Sir Fran
cis Drake, Elizabethan explorer.
According to the federal charges,
he used the mails fraudently or
conspired to do so in collecting the
money.
Case Followed Closely
Wray worked closely with the
home office and Scotland Yard for
some time before he finally was
able to obtain a deportation order
against Hartzell last February. He
returned to America with him 'ind
was an importnt witness before the
Sioux City grand jury. Thereafter
he returned to England to gather
further material on which the Amer
ican government hopes to obtain
comiction.
Evidence was collected from many
sources. The investigations revealed
that Hartzell is known among the
flunkies of all de luxe London re
sorts. including the Ritz and Berke
ley hotels and flashy night clubs,
as a wealthy respected member cf
the American colony good for big
bills and generous tips.
He ate and drank at the mo^i ex
pensive places and lived a life of
luxury paid for. according to gov
ernment charges, with money col
lected in the “Drake estate” promo
Hartzell was formerly associated
in his venture with Milo Franklin
Lewis, former Chicago attorney. Ac
cording to investigators, Hartzell
and Lewis parted company ten
years ago. Since then Hartaell has
been operating alone
In his most recent inquiries into
Hartzell’s activities Wray was as
sisted by O, R. Williamson, Amer
ican postoffice inspector, who al
ready has returned to the United
States.

until it is worth more, by procla
mation of the governor, issvid
late Wednesday. It becomes effect

Gov. Langer said his embargo
alone could not be expected to raise
wheat prices, but that his purpose

Why the Sudden
Change to Liquid
Laxatives?
I
Doctors have always recognized the
value of the laxative whose dose can
be measured, and whose action can
be controlled.
The public, too. is fast returning
to the use of liquid laxatives. People
have learned that a properly pre
pared liquid laxative brings a perfect
movement without any discomfort
at the time, or after.
The dose of a liquid laxative can
be varied to suit the needs of the
individual. The action can thus be
regulated. It forms no habit; you
need not take a “double dose” a day
or two later. Nor will a mild liquid
laxative irritate the kidneys.
The wrong cathartic may keep you
constipated as long as you keep on
using it.
Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is a
prescription, and is perfectly safe.
Its laxative action is based on senna
—a natural laxative. The bowels will
not become dependent on this form
of help. Dr. Caldm-ell’s Syrup Pepsin
is at all druggists. Member N. R. A.

Real Bayer Aspirin “Takes Hold” of Pain in Few Minutes
Now comes amazingly quick relief
from headaches, rheumatism, neuri
tis, neuralgia... thc fastcst safe relit/,
it is said, yet discovered.
Those results are due to a scien
tific discovery by which a Bayer
Aspirin Tablet begins to dissolve, or
disintegrate, in the amazing space of
two seconds after touching moisture.
And hence to start “taking hold” of
pain a few minutes after talcing.
The illustration of the glass, here,
tells the story. A Bayer Tablet starts
to disintegrate almost instantly you
swallow it. And thus is ready to go to
work almost instantly.
When you buy, though, see that
you get the Genuine BAYER Aspirin.
For Bayer Aspirin’s quick relief
always say "BAYER Aspirin.”
