German Plan Shows Defiance and Friendship
Germany pursues a friendlier foreign policy while warning that it will fight for liberty as Hess, Hitler’s lieutenant, tells 12 000 Nazi chiefs in Keilingsberg that a defenceless Germany endangers sovereignty. He seeks Franco German understanding and minimal army for security, amid concerns over a second Nazi revolution and Barthou’s security talks in London. Hitler remains in seclusion at his Bavarian Alps retreat as Germany confronts internal upheaval and external pressure.

Patterson and Norris Get Stays
Montgomery Ala July 9 AP a stay of execution was granted today in Heywood Patterson and Clarence Norris two Negro defendants under sentence of death in the Scottsboro case by the Supreme Court on receipt of an application for rehearing. The court had fixed August 31 as the date of execution but the stay follows the rehearing request. The matter may not proceed until October unless a special session is called. The decision leaves open the possibility of appeals to the United States Supreme Court if the Alabama high tribunal again confirms the sentences. Patterson and Norris were convicted in December 1933 in Morgan Circuit Court for attacking Mrs Victoria Price aboard a Southern railway freight train in Jackson County on March 29 1931. Patterson faced a third conviction and Norris a second on the charge.
