The Bismarck golfer’s overwhelm- ing victory at the 26th hole of the 36-hole final round came after a crucifying morning duel in which Cook emerged with a 7-up lead. Cook shot even par for the first 18 holes of the match, being over on only two holes, offsetting these with two birdies. Cook capitalized on Sorlien’s errors, and he left hardly any for Sorlien to capitalize on. His only two errors were on the holes he lost, the 8th and 16th.

Also within that seven hours was formulated a new oath by which the reichswehr—the standing army of Germany— will pledge its allegiance to Hitler. Von Hindenburg died in his 87th year at 9 a. m. (3 a. m E. S. T.) in his country mansion at Neudeck, East Prussia. Al- most simultaneous with the announcement of his death came the announcement that the offices of the chancellorship and the presidency had been merged. Hitler is both chancellor and president. i Any doubts as to what position the reichswehr, long faith- ful to von Hindenburg, might take were dispelled, at least tem- porarily, by Werner von Blomberg, minister of war, who announced that the army would take a new oath. It is expected to be administered within the next few days. aS RE Re TERS Ed Reich to Take Oath [Von Hindenburg Dies|| the oatn reads: \— “I swear by God this holy oath: i ; | That I shall be absolutely obedient to der Fuehrer (the leader) of the Ger- man reich and people, Adolf Hitler, supreme head of the army, and that I will be ready as a brave soldier to give my life for this oath.” ‘The ceremony of oath-taking will be followed by three cheers for the new supreme army commander—who is also the supreme commander of the Nazi storm troops and their black-shirted brethren, the Schultz Staffel—and by the two German na- tional anthems, “Deutschland Uber Alles” and the “Horst Wessel Song,” the latter a Nazi anthem. Puneral services for von Hinden- burg are to be held Priday at Tan- nenburg, where he stopped the Rus- sian advance in 1914, and he is to be buried Saturday at Neudeck, 30 miles away, on the grounds of the estate where he died. It was expected that the presiden- tial plebiscite will have the double of expressing an endorse- ment of Hitler as president and of the policies of the Nazi government. Lund said he “contemplated no radical changes or upsets in the per- sonnel, beyond the changes made by the industrial commission last week.” “We are going to try to keep the institution out of politics,” Lund said. “I have served as an auditor under I intend that Lund has lived in North Dakota for 30 years, coming to this state from tled first at Steele, N.

Physicians have expressed amazement at his heart's stubborn resistance to disease and the infirmities of age. ‘When word came, Hitler and his Nazi cabinet were prepared. In a guarded session Wednesday night the cabinet adopted a decree revoking a law of 1932 under which the president of the supreme court would become interim president. ‘When news of von Hindenburg’s end was received Paul Joseph Goeb- bels, propaganda minister, rushed to a microphone. He announced to the nation that the two offices of presi- dent and chancellor had been merged. Hitler’s Power Absolute Hitler thus assumed absolute power over the third reich. The lowering of the flag to half- staff at Neudeck told Germany and the world of the death it had ex- pected. Germany went into mourning, on the 20th anniversary of its conscrip- tion of troops for the World War. The funeral will be held at Neudeck Sunday, the Associated Press heard from a source usually reliable. Of- ficial confirmation was not obtainable but it was ‘announced a state funeral would be held. Members of his immediate family were at von Hindenburg’s bedside They were his son, Colonel Oskar von Hindenburg, and two married daugh- ters, Frau Irimearde von Brockhusen and Prau Anna Marie von Bentz. Von Hindenburg’s wife died in 1921. A few hours before his death the former field marshal slipped into a combined with Germany Thursday mourned the loss of her foremost warrior and states- man, Paul von Hindenburg, president of the reich, who died early Thurs- day morning at the age of 86 from infirmities of old age.
