Hitler immediately selected his Cab- inet and it was sworn in. Von Papen was made Vice- Chancellor and Prussian Com- missar. Hitler finally achieved his ambition but actually it is a compromise Cabinet, the President s ur r ounding him with Conservatives. President von Hindenburg made Hitler swear an oath of allegiance to the Republican Constitution. Hitler reserved for himself the posts of Min- |ister of Interior and Minister without a portfolio. ‘The new Chancellor is only 43 years of age. Hitler took the appointment in his usual stride, saying: “Well we shall see. Now lci's eat.” Up All Night Hitler had been up all night working over his program with President von Hindenburg, who was kindliness itself. When Hitler was proposed for Chancellor, the President said “Yes, yes, indeed,” and grasped Hitler's and and made ‘the appointment immediately. When the announcement was made, the word was released im- mediately on the streets, jammed with people, Startling Rumor The appoinment was followed by a startling rumor that high army officers, headed by Gen. Kurt von Schleicher, who had just resigned as Chancellor, threatened to take the law into their own hands and set up a “Directorate” as a pre- liminary to restoration of the mon- archy. Report Denied The rumor was emphatically de- nied in official circles but it of- fered no explanation for the un- precedented haste in which the Hitler Cabinet was formed.

Secretary Mills, in announcing the February financing, asked for Jjust enough money to pay matur- ing treasury certificates and in- terest on the public debt and to furnish funds for the Reconstruc- tion Finance Corporation. He an- nounced the treasury would sell on February 1 about $250,000,000 in five-year treasury notes bearing 2% per cent interest. The notes will be exempt from all taxation except inheritance and estate tax- es, will be dated February 1, 1938, and will not be callable before that time. The rate of interest is not so small as that of some bonds sold in recent years, but less than some ' sold recently. The money derived from the sale |ot the bonds will be used to pay approximately $145,000000 due on treasury certificates bearing 2% per cent interest payable Febru- ary 1, to pay about $13,000,000 in interest on the public debt and furnish funds for the corporation,
