ER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENTY WALKER LOSES FIGHT ON ROOSEVELT IN OUSTER CASE CLARA ZETKIN TAKES ACTION IN REICHSTAG Charges Are Made Against President, Chancellor and Cabinet CHIEF EXECUTIVE BACKS GOVERNMENT Von Papen Announces New Program—Subsidy Instead of Dole BULLETIN — BERLIN, | Aug. 30.— Herman Wilhelm Georgin, one of Adolf Hitler’s chief lieutenants, and Com- mander of the famous von, Richtofen flying squadron in the World War, was late to- day elected President of the Reichstag. IMPEACHMENT BERLIN, Aug. 30.—Im- peachment of President von Hindenburg, Chancellor von Papen and members of the German Cabinet on charges they have violated the con- stitution is demanded by Clara Zetkin, 75-year-old “Grandmother of the Ger- man Revolution,” Cemmunist leader, when in the capacity of senior member she opened the first session of the new Reichstag. Previously, President von Hindenburg had announced he was in complete accord with the Government’s pro- gram on taxation and efforts to increase employment. Chancellor’s Program Chancellor von Papen's program includes a tax refunding system over a five-year period and a sub- sidy to employers increasing em- ployment. He said this is cheaper than the dole and will put men to work. President von Hindenburg's state- ment is taken to mean that if the| Reichstag disapproves of the Cab- inet’s course, it will mean certain | dissolution and this is the last| word and that no combination of parties will turn the Government from the present path. Impeachment Clara Zetkin said: “The immed-| jate duty of the Reichstag is to overthrow the Cabinet and impeach | the President. The political power, | for the moment, has been seized by | the Presidential Cabinet formed for | the elimination of the Reichstag. | “The Cabinet is the hand- maiden of the trust monopoly, and | capital and big landowners are the moving powers. | “The Government has failed mis- | erably to solve the domestic for-' eign problems.” | ———e— . { Georgia Peach Crop | Is Reported Short' ATHENS, Ga., Aug. 30.—Peach- oner's jury, Prosecuting Anorneylremined for the Assembly Apart- ez from Georgia this year will be | scarce in the big cities of the| East and Middle West.

Bullish efforts failed to attract immediate following and trading was comparatively quiet. Rubber Upturn Goodyear was up four points and reflected the upturn of rub- ber yesterday. Issues up one to nearly two points for new peaks since 1931 included Firestone, United States Rubber, Chrysler, American Wool-~ en, National Cash Register, Ana- conda, Kennecott, Maranada, Grandby, Calumet and Arizona, Standard Oils of New Jersey and California. Atlantic Refining was down one points as were American Can and International Harvester. Off frac- tionally were American Telephone and Telegraph and United States Steel.
