Hitler's address will be of a political nature with a direct eulogy of Hindenburg to be reserved for the funeral services on Tuesday. Powers of Monarch Because of the unusual circum- stances of his coup d'etat whereby he merged the Chancellory with the Presidency, Hitler is believed to be intending to seize the oc- casion on Tuesday to justify his assumption of powers of a mon- arch. The Government has decided that Hindenburg will be entombed in the memorial at Tannenberg in- stead of on his estate. ——————— HITLER GRITIC HAS CONFIDENGE IN NEW LEADER Von Papen Believes Chan- cellor Will Continue von Hindenburg’s Work NEUDECK, Germany, Aug. 4— Confidence in Adolf Hitler as the “Leader of New Germany” is ex- pressed by Franz von Papen, until recently Vice-Chancellor and critic of extreme Nazism. The note of confidence was given after a visit to the deathbed of the late President, Paul von Hin- denburg. Von Papen said Hitler would “trustee of von Hinden- burg’s noblest tradition and history will continue the work to which the life-sainted Field Marshal wa§ devoted.” Von Papen's statement is re- garded as reassuring to Nazis since he is considered the leader of Conservative Germany. He has | been named Special Envoy To Aus- T — tria by Hitler but the Austrian Government has not yet accepted him.

W. RESOURCES BE CONTROLLED BY GOVERNMENT President Believes Great ! Benefits Will Result from Projects THOUSANDS CHEERING NATION’S EXECUTIVE Discovery of Sack of Dyna- mit Results in Special Precautions ENROUTE WITH PRESIDENT, Aug. 4—Convinced that ‘“seeing is believing,” President Franklin D. Roosevelt crossed the Pacific Northwest with the announced pol- icy that the Government is going to control the natural resources to expand this section. A sack of dynamite and percus- sion caps found near the rail- road right-of-way over which the | President’s special train passed two and one-half miles southwest of Spokane, led to extreme precau- tions of Federal and county of- ficers to avoid any attempt against the Presidential train for any inci- dent. Take No :Chances “We thought possibly the dyna- mite might have been intended for the President’s train. We are tak- ing no chances,” said Sheriff George Mills, revealing the discovery. For four days a heavily-armed body of Secret Service agents and deputies watched the spot in hope those who deposited the sack might re- turn for it. Hailed by Throng The President was hailed by throngs along the way from Bonne- ville Dam. A great outpouring of people accorded him ovations the entire length of the line from the dam to the present moment. Enroute to the Coulee power site the President said he expects the Columbia River to be thoroughly harnessed and brought under Gov- ernment control. Part of the way the President rode on the rear platform of his coach and said “Hello” repeatedly to the crowds who cheered him. His First Talk It was at the Bonneville Dam site he made his first talk on U. 8. soil since his return from Hawaii. He said: “There is an old saying that seeing is believing. That is why I am here.” Continuing the President said: “I believe the day will come on the Columbia River when we will not only expand the seagoing navi- tion far back into the continent, but at the end of sea navigation we will be able to extend barge navigation still farther back north into the State of Washington and far into the State of Idaho.” Greater Population ‘The President pointed out that in the Northwest there is room for “a vastly increased population™ which he thought will be required in the country's progress. There are many sections, the President said, where land has run out or has been put to the wrong kind of use. Real Rcosevelt “America is growing. There are many people who want to go ta sections of the country where they will have a better chance for them- their many children and need room for growing families,” and the President added, with a smile: “As a Roosevelt, I am think- ing about growing families.” This afternoon the President speaks at Coulee project where 40,000 are expected to assemble from two States to fill the huge natural amphitheatre.
