Right not so cold Tessas} attarmopn, PRICE FIVE CENT, , BOTH NEWSPAPERS AND PERIODICALS ARE HIT BY ORDER Foreign Publications Must Con- form to Standards to En- joy Circulation DEMONSTRATIONS HALTED Von Hindenburg Decree Gives New Government Wide Powers of Discretion Berlin, Feb. 6.—(?)}—A rigorous sys- tem of censorship, extending for the first time even to newspapers and pe- riodicals reaching Germany from other countries, became effective Mon- day under a decree signed by Presi- dent Paul von Hindenburg. In the future even foreign publica- tions must conform to the Hitler gov- ernment's press standards if they de- sire to circulate here. Furthermore, the Republican Reichsbanner, the forces which ard- ently campaigned for President von Hindenburg's reelection last year, can be deprived of their uniforms if the Nazi minister of interior, Dr. Wilhelm Frick, so rules. The decree permits the suspension of newspapers for four weeks, or on a second offense within three months, for six months. The grounds for sus Pension were broadened greatly and, if applicable, foreign newspapers or Periodicals could be prohibited for as long as six months. Outdoor demonstrations were per- mitted only if the purpose was not detrimental to general peace and safety. Police were permitted to in- -tervene and dissolve mass meetings if ® police observer detected open pro- vocation in the speeches. Cannot Be ‘lusulting’ While hitherto, newspapers could be su) only for treason, Chancel- lor Adolf Hitler’s cabinet was empow- ered now to forbid publication for “in- sulting” or for making officials ap- pear contemptuous, for denouncing « institutions of the government or church, for inciting to a general strike or a strike in key industries and for endangering the interests of the state through palpably “false news.” In a@ second decree President von Hindenburg swept aside the Braun- Severing government in Prussia, largest state in the reich, transfer- ring the powers of the two officials to Vice Chancellor Franz von Papen. The vice chancellor, as commis- sioner for Prussia, will take Premier ‘Otto Braun's place in the triumvirate ruling the Prussian diet and, to- gether with Hans Kerri, National So- cialist president of the diet, vote dis- solution of that parliamentary body. Conrad Audenauer, president of the Prussian states council and third members of the triumvirate, and Premier Braun had voted against Uissolution which was favored by the Nazi, Herr Kerrl. The vice chan- cellor will meet with Herren Kerrl and Audenauer late Monday to take action. President von Hnidenbure’s decree state that “through the attitude of the Prussian state toward the verdict of the supreme court on Oct. 25, 1932, confusion resulted endangering the - state's life.” With the president’s decree went ‘an official explanation stating that the verdict of the supreme court failed to provide for establishing or- ‘derly conditions in Prussia, but on the contrary established two govern- ments—that of the elected officials, acd that of the appointed federal commissioners. The government contends the Prussian government was derelict in its duty and it became incumbent upon the federal government to re- establish order. Sees Last Elections That the forthcoming elections will prove the last ever held was assert- ed by Kerrl, a Hitlerite, in a campaign speech at Muenster Sunday night. “All the power is now in Hitler's hands and nothing in the world can again tear it from him,” he added. The Hitler cabinet already has call- ed for new elections for the Reichstag on March 5 and new elections for tens ot thousands of city council posts in Prussia on March 12, but it has he- sitated in according similar treatment to the diet. Premier Braun was ex- pected to appeal to the supreme court if the vice chancellor took his vote newspaper’s editions were confiscated on two different days and several os clalist newspapers were suspended for short periods. The Socialist “Vor- waerts,” national vice of the party, was still under suspension Monday. The announcement of the new re- strictions cited “monstrous insults” against the Hitler regime which were blished. Pepolitical rioting continued through- out the country Sunday. Deaths total- ed four, including s mayor, while about 40 were injured. It was announced in Munich Mon- day that Hitler has decided not to ac- cept any pay as chancellor, renounc- ing a salary equivalent to about $11,- 400, The Nazi liege Leelee ee said he made enough mone’ = sult of his writings.

Farley, national chairman, and other leaders studied ® patronage distribution plan for the attention of President-elect Roose- velt. Apparently sensing the approach of office seekers, the Democratic chief- tains passed the word Sunday night that high-pressure campaigns for Jobs would be futile—that merit and Party service were to be the tests. It also became known that protests have been received from senatorial sources against the inclusion of too many senators in the Roosevelt cabinet. But just what President-elect Roo- sevelt's ideas are about this is prob- lematical. He was anchored Sunday night under Stirrup Cay in the Ba- hama Islands group after an appar- ently unsuccessful first attempt at fishing on his yachting cruise. He planned another fishing trip Mon- day after visiting Nassau, to get a fish pilot and bait. Vincent Astor, owner and captain of the Roosevelt yacht, messaged this information in to Marvin H. McIn- tyre, secretary to the President-elect, ‘Sunday.

The department is hav- ing 30 per cent more application forms printed than were used in 1932 when $64,000,000 was disbursed. Requests for changes in legislation in some states to make farmers with- in their borders eligible for loans are being made by the department through members of congress. The law requires that the loan shall be the first lien on the crop produced ear. aaa Some Points in Doubt Whether the department shall make loans to farmers who have not repaid their borrowings under simi- lar Joan acts in past years has not yet been decided. In the senate, Chairman McNary (Rep. Ore.) said this would be the last day for hearings on the agricultural allotment bill. He wants to get his task of re-writing the measure.

What the crew intended vessel were mysteries, Nine Dutch officers and a number the mutiny broke out early Sunday aboard the heavily armed cruiser De Zeven Provincien. The native Su- matran sailors, angry because their pay had been cut, put out to sea im- mediately. As @ threat to any pursuing force that might come within range, the cruiser’s deck bristled with 16 big guns.

Already the two legislative branches have approved numerous bills and dropped into the hopper, while the house was slightly below that num- ber with 175. Many of the bills have felt the sting of “indefinite postpone- ment,” which usually has the effect of killing a measure. Saturday's session ended with the senate approving a measure to sus- pend for 18 months construction and improvement of highways except when repairs and improvements are necessary. An effort to declare the sy oH emergency measure was de- leated. An amendment attached to the bill in committee provides that highway Projects may be resumed to the ex- tent of federal funds available or in the event the federal should make available 100 per cent aid to the states for road tion.

Though E. R. Sinkler, counsel of the legislative committee, had announced subpoenas had been issued for for- mer Governor George F. Shafer, C F.

Under questioning of Bangert, Nor- ris said the capitol commission whos? work is being investigated, had been informed “very clearly” on all items of figures in their work. He added that in the type of contract such as used for the capitol, where the state gets 80 per cent and the contractor 20 per cent of any savings effected, it was impossible to have fixed unit eS. Norris said his company originally had expected to need the fire-proof- ing brick early in the fall but a change in plans that permitted pour- of concrete before fire-proofing the steel delayed the immediate need for the brick. : Sinkler asked Norris regarding the use of Bedford limestone for facing the capitol and whether Lundoff- Bicknell intended to discourage the use of North Dakota brick and tile to Posite is true.

President and Cabinet, Su- preme Court, Diplomats. ‘| Present For Event Washington, Feb. 6—(®)—Leaders| of the government which Calvin Cool- idge once headed gathered at the capitol Monday for a solemn cere- | mony honoring his memory. President Hoover was first among the distinguished statesmen and jur- ists invited to the chamber of the house of representatives for joint con- gressional exercises in tribute to his Predecessor in the white house. The proceedings, “in honor of the life, character and public service of Calvin Coolidge,” were ordered by a congressional resolution shortly after Coolidge’s sudden death on the fifth of last month. Only Sunday a 30-day Period of national mourning, pro- claimed in his honor, was ended. Spe- cial committees of five senators—led by Senator Walsh (Dem., Mass.)—and seven representatives—led by Rep- resentative Woodrum (Dem., Va.)— arranged the ceremonies. With the president were invited all members of his cabinet, and just in front of the speaker's rostrum places were reserved for the black-robed judges of the supreme court.
