ALLEN I WASHINGTON General Hugh Johnson did some significant sig-nificant talking while on the Pacific coast that failed to be reported. His words, just echoing back to official Washington, have aroused a new wave of speculation about Johnson's retirement. re-tirement. The unrecorded observation was made in the course of a speech before the Pacific Advertising clubs convention in Portland, Ore. It was not contained in copies of the address given to the press. This is what Johnson said: "I am starving to death. I've got . to get out and make some money -for myself." What is causing significance to foe attached to this statement are the following facts: 1. This is the first time in months that Johnson, wither privately or publicly, lias admitted that he is con-ttittoritio- retiring. Heretofore any suggestion that he was planning to get out Invariably was met with bellicose denial. 2. The remark was made a few days after Johnson admitted ad-mitted he had recommended to the president that a board be established to rule the . NRA. 3. This decision by Johnson followed four days of secret conferring between him and his former boss, Barney Ba-ruch, Ba-ruch, who cancelled a vacation vaca-tion trip to be with his old friend. F6f "some" months Barney has been privately urging Johnson to retire from the Blue Eagle roost. Baruch also is given credit for being the author of the NRA board plan as a graceful substitute substi-tute for Joluison. Unquestionably the silver-haired Wall Street operator has more influence with Johnson than any other single individual; and if Baruch advises the general to go, he probably will. Though the president is far from Washington, and though federal funds are "pouring out a largess of relief, piteous appeals continue to deluge the White House. One of the latest comes from a woman in Nebraska asking Roosevelt to lend her fifty dol-' dol-' Tars. "Ican buy a box car from the railroad for fifty dollars and make it my home," she wrote. "But I don't have fifty dollars. If you will advance the money, I will pay it back five dollars a month." Unfortunately both the Home Owners Loan corporation and the housing administration advance ad-vance money only to those who already have homes or who can satisfy the banks regarding the investment. m -r- rfi I "V ... i COLLISION If railrdad executives go through with heir threat to seek a 10 per cent freight rate boost they are very likely to have a head-on collision with an ICC move for a general slash of passenger pas-senger fares The rail rnpguls plaintively contend they must have the freight raise in order to meet greatly augmented operating costs.

HITLER AT DEATHBED OF HINDENBURG Veneraoie President Given Less Than 24 Hours By His Doctors (Copyright 1934, by United Press) NEUDECK, East Prussia, Aug. 1 (U.R) President Paul Von Hindenburg's physicians were understood to have given giv-en him less than 24 hours to live today. Chancellor Adolf Hitler, who will take over the presidency," presi-dency," arrived by airplane to pay his last respects at the bedside of the nation's aged idol. Favors Monarchy As he realized the end was probably near, the 86-year-old president himself was said to have bequeathed his beloved Germany Ger-many to the care of the Nazi leader, expressed his confidence in Hitler's ability to steer the nation through its crisis. Nevertheless, the devoted old monarchist was quoted as saying: "I lived my life as a monarchist and I am convinced that monarchy monar-chy is the best permanent form of government for the German people." Hitler probably will retain the chancellorship as well as the presidency in the interim until his elevation is confirmed by the people. Afterwards, it was believed be-lieved he might concentrate power in the presidency and designate a trusted supporter as chancellor. Hitler was summoned hurriedly hurried-ly by Dr. -Ferdinand- Sauerbruch, chief of the four physicians in at-tendancei at-tendancei who was understood to have told him to come at once, as he could not promise the president presi-dent would live longer than 24 hours.

State officials declared that in their opinion the greatest great-est good to the greatest number of people will result ifthe Salt Lake canal companies are al- lowed to operate the pumps that f17 OITlfTDC will irrigate 86,000 acres of land in Salt Lake county. The final decision in the quarrel quar-rel over the draining of the lake was left in the hands of Governor Henry H. Blood, State Engineer T. H. Humpherys, State Health Commissioner T. B. Beatty, and State Fish and Game Commissioner Commis-sioner Newel B. Cook. But from the attitude expressed yesterday they are in favor of the continuance continu-ance of the $185,000 pumping operations which were started Wednesday morning. The lake will be lowered one foot to 18 inches by the new pumping operations, according to the report given to the Utah county group, which included county commissioners and mayors and councilmen from the chain of cities and towns on the east side of the lake. Utah lake will be without fish in "1935, it was reported by Commissioner Com-missioner Cook, who told the "group that operations -witl begin Wednesday to seine out the game fish for transplanting. At present the lake is only 3 feet 3 inches in depth on an average. With the pumping depleting it still further, it is expected that the normal ice freeze will eliminate fish. Mr. Cook expressed no hope for the fish, whether the pumping operations oper-ations were pursued or not. "The proposition was placed before be-fore us as a decision between selfishness and unselfishness," said County Commissioner Hilton A. Robertson, who arranged for the protest meeting. Wyoming and Idaho have both given water to save permanent plantings" in Utah, we were asked, to do the same thing, to save permanent plantings in the 86,000 acre area in Salt Lake valley." "Furthermore, we were informed inform-ed by the state engineer, Mr. Humphery, that Utah county has no rights in the water, the land or the fish of the lake. Governor Blood assured us that no permanent perman-ent rights would be acquired by the Salt Lake interests by reason of the pumping and use of the water; it is simply an emergency measure."

Adopting military strategy by catching the "enemy" unprepared, the militia seized the union's headquarters and followed up their coup by rounding up the leaders of the l&-day-old walkout. While the military was getting the jump on threatened disorders and succeeding "without laying hands on a single person," John Belor, union picket, died in St. Barnabas hospital of chest wounds received two weeks ago.

The guardsmen raided the union's headquarters in advance of the "zero hour" set for a wholesale whole-sale renewal of picketing aimed at paralyzing truck transportation transporta-tion by force.

FARLEY Rotary Chief Is Speaker At Provo Meeting District Governor Wells of Pocatello, Dr. Merrill Address Members. "Public opinion is not formed by the. post cities; it is formed in interior cities". That formed the text of a message left with the Provo Rotary club Wednesday by District Governor R. H. Wells, of Pocatello, Idaho, speaking' before the local club members at their weekly luncheon meeting. Governor Wells urged wider travel and interests in order to appreciate the real similarity among peoples. There are no races, there are no colors, there are no antagonistic interests, where understanding exists between be-tween men. The district governor pointed to the Jerusalem Rotary club, with at times 15 nationalities nationali-ties and 15 different religions represented rep-resented at the luncheon tabled as indicative of thiS spirit of common com-mon interests. Merrill Speaks Following Mr. Wells' remarks Dr. H. G. Merrill of Provo, former district governor, spoke on "Rotary "Rot-ary in the Early Days." He traced the rapid growth of Rotary from the date of its inception, in 1905 by Paul Harris, to the present day. Five years after the inception of Rotary, a national Rotary was organized at Chicago, in 1910 Two years later in international organization organi-zation was effected. "When I was district governor of the fifth district, dis-trict, in 1927. we were exuberant over the fact that 40 geographical units were represented in International Interna-tional Rotary. Today we have 70 such representations." he statt-d Roosevelt Ship Arrives Thursday ORLEANS, WITH PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, Aug. 1 (By Radio to the United Press) Slightly ahead of schedule, the U.
