WASHINGTON, (UP) — Dip-
lomatic observers today credited
progress of the administration's
rearmament program for what
they believed to be a stiffened for- >
eign policy toward aggressor na-
tions.
These observers Interpreted the
United States' action of the last
week against Nazi absorption of
Czech provinces as a new phase
in this government's foreign policy
and possibly the beginning of a
' streamer stand against all aggres-
sors.
One official Informed the United
Press that only within recent
weeks has the administration con-
sidered its military and naval
forces at, or approaching, a level
where the application of econom-
ic pressure could be safely ap-
plied to a powerful foreign nation.
Soon after President Roosevelt
began his naval construction pro-
gram in 1933, a high state depart-
ment official declared that this
government’s foreign policy mast
depend for its effectiveness on
following forces, in the order
named:

IN S.?, CHAIR
COLUMBIA, S. C. (UP) Six
men died in South Carolina's elec-
tric chair today within 45 minutes.
They were executed for the .mur-
der of J. Olin Sanders, guard cap-
tain, during an attempted break
from the state prison in December,
1937.
Those to whom the state refused
to "show mercy because they
showed no mercy” in killing San-
ders were:
J. V. Blair, 28, Si niter, S. C.:
Clayton Crt» 29. Rochester, N.

to force their, way out of the pen-
itentiary 16 months ago. The elec-

fice.
After the executions prison offi-

ment: .
"Five of the men testified they
had made peace with God and al-
though they lived lives of waste
and sin and recklessness they went
to the cbair...with no feat All five
knelt and-prayed individually and
earnestly for the one (Gentry, who
had expressed no interest for his
soul.”
Nino ministers spent the night
with the doordriT convicts. They
prayed from darkness until mid-
night—then there was a brief stop
while ice cream was served.- From

The education committee last
I night approved a bill to increase
■ the sulphur tax, after it was re-
referred from the revenue com- ■
mittee. The House today by over-
whelming vote re-referied to-the
education committee a “luxury”
tax proposal by Rep. Pat Dwyer
of San Antonio.
Dwyer said the two per cent
tax on sales or less than $10, ex-
empting foods and drugs, would
bring in $16,000,000 a year for
social security program, and that
his bill could be used as the basis
of a "real tax program."
The House .ordered its State af-
fairs committee to report Tues-
day on a .bill by Rep. Bryan Brad-
bury of Abilene to liberalize old
Age assistance. One of its main
features eliminates the- consid-
eration of relatives ability to sup-
port applicants. A hili to tax in-
comes of all elected of ficin Is in
the State, except Federal employ-

from the revenue and taxation
committee. i
A bill by Rep. Dewitt Hide of
Farmersville, to reorganize some
130 State bureaus and commis-
sions into 18 State .BWyinrtments
was ordered printed after the
State affairs committee had giv-
en it an unfavorable report. A
mmilar bill has failed to pass in
the legislature several times. Hale
said it wouid save $5,000,000 a
year for the State.
A further trend toward settling
the tax question without a ref-
erence to popular vote was seen
when the House voted 116 ayes to
21 noes to let Rep. E. R. Wright
of Huntsville offer in bill form the
same pension-tax proposals con-
tained in the amended House reso-
lution for a constitutional amend-
ment.
A resolution by Rep. John K.
Russell of Cleburne was adopted,
asking the Attorney General to
give an opinion by next Tuesday
on the qilitTIfications of voters*
when and if the pending constitu-
tional amendment, is submitted.
Russel Tend from the constitu
tion that "only qualified voters
who own taxable property . . and
have duly rendered same for tax-
ation” may vote on matters of
issuing bonds, expending money,
or assuming any debt.
"I have carefully gone into
this proposition,” Russell said. "I
find ' no precedent, so I believe
-it will be wise to get a ruling from
the attorney general. If this ques-
tion is raised just before election,
wc might be in_a.worse fix .than
we are now."
Rep. Houston McMurry of Hen-
rietta said the opinion is "unnec-
essary” because the constutitiomd
provision applied only to "county
or counties.,”
"The House is under no obliga-
tion to ask the attorney general
aboiit'mattcrs of the constitution/’
McMurry said. "I’m constitution-
ally opposed to asking the Attor-
ney General to tell the legislature
how to run its business."
The House adopted and sent to
tile Senate a bill to appropriate
$167,616 to cover deficiencies

BUCHAREST, Rumania. (UP)
— Developments which led to the
conclusion of a German-Rumanian
economic agreement—an accord
regarded as of such vast impor-
tance that its full economic and
political effect can not yet be es-
timated—remained shrouded in
mystery today.’
Negotiations had dragged along
for several weeks and it was un-
derstood that the German project
had met Increasing resistance
from the Rumanian government.
Mititza Constantinescu, Minister
of finance and governor "of the
National Bank, seems to have led
this opposition. Therefore it was
considered possible that he might
resign soon.
Reports Tn London Saturday re-
garding aruaiieged "economic ul-
timatum" by Germany—reports
which incidentally may lead to
changes in the Rumanian legation
there and an announcement by
the British government that an
economic mission would be sent to
Rumania, coincided with an ac-
centuation of the political tension
here.
During .this tension Hungary
was reported concentrating troops
near Rumania and Rumania, ac-
centuated her own mllitaty pre-
pH rations.
At this time circles close to the
Rumanian government expressed
doubt that the trade agreement
would be signed soon, and hinted
at the possibility that it might
fail.

CODY, Wyo. (UP).—Sheriff
, Frank Blackburn and his man-
hunting posse reported to head-
quarters here today they believed
they had located Earl (Tarzan)
Durand high on an eastern shoul-
der of Bear Tooth Mountain.
The Sheriff’s report was re-
layed by Special Deputy Ben
Thompson, one of 14 members of
a posse that set out from here at
daybreak behind a pack of blood-
hounds to track down the killer
of four peace officers.
Thompson said they had sighted
an- object that seemed to be mov-
ing on the far-away mountain
peak and >had identified it as a
man by using powerful field
glasses.
He said they were confident
the man was the fugitive killer
but the identification was not
positive.
Thompson said the man, dressed
in a gray shirt, appeared momen-
tarily on a boulder, then darted
Into a crevice.
He said no possemen were on
that part of the mountain. The
spot where the man was seen
was only about a mile directly
above the natural' fortress in
Clark’s Fork Canyon from which
Durand escaped a possemen’s trap
Wednesday night.
Sheriff Blackburn and his
posiie, all experienced trackers
and mountaineers, "fleployed to
surrdund the spot where’ the man
/■ was seen, advancing warily under
cover of scattered tree . clumps
find boulders lest Durand’s deadly
aim find new victims.
Durand escaped Wednesday
night from a natural, boulder
.guided fortress in the canyon
of Ci:n'k*s'-'-E'ork" "bf the Yellow-
stone River.
There he had' held off more
than 100 possemen for two days
an<T killed two of them"' who
sought to “rush” his lair.
It took Blackburn and his se-
lected group nearly two hours to
by aut< ...jliile from vody to
the rugged canyon where Durand
last was seen. His trail led up-
ward towaid the summit of 11,-
()1)0-foot, snow-blanketed Bear
Tooth Mountain. Westward,
“over the top,” lay Sunlight Val-
. ley, ,wifh its 12 or 15 scattered
ranches and a wilderness of ever-
green forest and rugged surround-
ing mountains.
At the Clark’s Fork Canyon
camp Blackburn and his men were
forced to leave their cars and
proceed afoot, ready to take to
snowshoes if Durend's ,trail led
them into the deep drifts above
the 10,000-foot timberline,

ed to give no quarter. Durand

Adolf Hitler pushed Great

The struggle for domination in
Europe is bitterest in its economic

Nazi Fuehrer has made tremen-

that opened for the Reich the
vast resources of Rumania and

Now Hungary with almost 50,-

been brought within the orbit of

the heart of Europe. In addition,
the farm products of little Lithu-
