DICTATOR’S WORDS “TAME”| A view of Adolf Hitler’s recent speech to the German Reichstag as expressed today by Dr. Edgar A. Holt of the University of Oma ha was that the dictator’s words were “tame” compared to what might have been expected from the usually fire-eating Fuehrer.

Dj? Holt, dean of the college and head of the history and government department at the University of Omaha, recently figured the con troversy over the Omaha showing of the film “Inside Naai Germany." Ho accepted the chairmanship of thd film’s sponsoring committee after several others had resigned from the committee. The Dean said that even the scattered bits of pugnacity which peppered the Reichfuehrer’s speech were “vague statements which com mitted Germany to nothing defi nite.” “Hitler Was vague about the kind of support he would give Mussolini in the Duce’s demands for territory from France. He did not even mention these demands specifically.” Dr. Holt is skeptical of the Fue hrer’s statement that his interest in South America is purely com mercial. The Deans points out that Nazi economic penetration is al ways accompanied by ideological penetration, that the Nazis often use commerce as a spearhead for political advancement. “The Nazi technique in South America is to exert pressure on Germans living there to support the fatherland’s political program. This pressure may take several forms. The German government may coerce the South American Germans by threatening to with hold benefits from the Nazi trade pogram Germans who are still citizens of the Reich may be fore ed to aid the Nazi program on pain of losing their passport privileges. ‘ If the South American German has relatives living in the Reich, tlho Nazi have a third method of exerting pressure. They may hold these relatives has hostages to compel the South American’s sup port.” Hitler’s assertion that he had saved Germany from bolshevism, Dr Holt believes is groundless. “The Nazi came to power when the power of the Communists was o nthe wane. As a matter ©f fact Hitler has restricted the rights of private property and of capitalism almost as much as has Soviet Rus sia." A NEG ARGUMENT ORDERED IN TEACHER SALARY CASE Baltimore, Mr., Feb. 6—Judge W, Calvin Chesnut, in the federal dis trict court here, has ordered addi tional argument on February 11 in tho suit to enjoin the distribution of the state educational funds on Maryland for Teachers’ salaries Tho suit was brought by Waiter Mills, a colored principal of Anne* Arundel county, representing Ne gro teachers and principals of the state.

New Orleans, Feb. 9 (ANP)— Because tenant farmers hi Louisi an cooperated with landlords in voting for the 1939 AAA crop re duction, and because the tenants received sums insufficient to care for their needs in 1938, the Louisi ana Farmers union charges many of the landlords with conspiracy because they are now saying that they must raise the rent of the tenants. Realizing that they could not survive a crisis similar to the one they experienced in 1938, the cot ton tenant farmer held hopes for increased prices through the AAA crop reduction program. It is re ported that now landlords claim that tenants receive too much mon ey from the government and bhat the rents will have to be raised in 1939. Many planters claim that they havo the approval of assistant parish agents, who represent the AAA. Specific instances given by * tho un'on are that in Avoyelles parish cash rent has been raised to as much at $10 per acre. In St Landry parish where most of the share tenants are on the third, their managers and landlords have instructed them that they muct furnish their own posts and stap les. In Pointe Coupee parish where the share rental, has always been one-fourth, several large planta tions have changed to one-third, and in many parishes half hands have been told that they would havo to sign over all or part of their AAA checks. It is fatal to move because mov ing costs $60 and the tenant is forced to sell his stock or give it up. In most cases the new place to which he moves does not have cotton acreage. Bomb Negro Apartments In White Neighborhood Now Orleans, Feb 9 (ANP)— Attemps to driv0 Negro residents out of the uptown section of the area of short sereet were eviden ced in the terrific explosion of a bomb on the front upper porch of a four apartment building last wk. Three of the apartments are occu pied by Negro families who were awakened by the explosion about 10:30 at night. A window was brok en, a porch partition blown assun der and flower pots blown to bits. The total damage was estimated at about $50. The familes of Arthur Randolph. David Jackson and Joseph Agustus were unable to determine whether the bomb was placed on the upper porch or thrown there. Gushes of smoke caused persons passing to call tho fire department. Edward Oaks, White landlord of the building, insisted that he would vurgo the police to make a thorough investigation. Past instances of In timidation to the families were re lated. One of the families stated that when they were moving into the apartment last June, police were called by some of the white neigh bors charging that they were ob structing passage on the sidewalk with the moving van. It was also said that threatening letters and telegrams had been sent to them, and phone messages had threatened them. They stated that the landlord had given aid in securing police vigilance in the area several times when intimidating violence was threatened.
