BERLIN, November Stresemann's moribund coalition cabinet, which Chancellor four-party the doughty parliamentary crisis, 1ost one of its chief props ldst night when the united socialists at a party caucus voted to recall their three ministers from the inet. . The defecticn of the socialists from the government with which they nev- ler were in complete accord from the moment they were coaxed back into it @ month ago, followed two days of waiting for the chancellor's reply to [ their ultimatum embodying a series {of demands.which obviously had been forced upon the ¥ moderated minority by the clamorous left wing.

The reply brought a swift rejoinder from the socialists I night, when in party cauc after brief de e they voted in favor of recalling their ministers and with- drawing from the cabinet The dissolution of the reichsta followed by the installation of a d tatorial government, o¢r the con- tinuance in flice of Chancellos Stresemann at the head of a “rump cabinet, comprising the bourgeois parties, are eventualities suggested by the retirement of the socialists from the present coalitibn. _There were no indications tonight that the entire cabinet would resign.

The four-party coalition. which {came to an end, ruled the reichstag just long enough to witness the dollar rate climb from six Lundred milllon marks four(weeks ago to four hun- dred billion marks today. During the same period the price of bread jumped to twenty-five billion marks, while dill pickles today were quoted at_four billlon marks each. These are some of the more urgent reasons for which socialists may be said to have felt their participation in the coalition government was a source of embarrassment and to have welcomed the pretext to resume their favorite pastime of parllamentary {opposition, in which role they con- sider themselves better enabled to conserve their party's prestige with the man in the street The steady downward. trend of the nation’s social and economic condi- tions is considered to explain the lethargy with which the public gen- erally views the inertia of the reichs- tag in a situation which is deemed tto call for patriotism rather than {partisan fealty.

In the present situation President Ebert seemingly is confronted with the choice of dismissing the reichstag indefinitely and inaugurating a d tatorial regime or of adhering to th parliamentary ~system of rule by party. The former alternative finds an Increased number of defenders in reichstag circles, where there is a strong conviction that further dalli- ance with party government will only prove still more disastrous because of its established incapacity to deal with current economic and soclal problems.

For the past two years Emergency Hospital has been considering such a drive. One thing after another crop- ped up, however. and the institution was reluctant ta impose upon the public another burden to those al- ready being borne by Washingtonians, and the decision to start the drive was continually postponed until the situation became imperative in its de- mands for action. 5 There is no alternative, it was stated at the hospital today. The drive must be put on or the hospital's financial situation will preciude the presentation of such service to the public as if demands. Emergency Hospital also was hit by the same neglect which gave Cas- ualty Hospital a staggering blow when an emergency _deficiency bill failed of passage on Capitol Hill and the hospital failed to collect a $10,000 bill coming to it for treatment of Board of Charities patients. The larger the number of charity patients treated, anvhow, the larger a deficit faces a hospital. Tt is agreed that $3.90 is the minimum average cost for tréating a patient, which is charged to the board of charities of the District.

It also was stated by a local dairy- man that the Baltimore dealers charge ‘a flat retail price of 13 cents to all purchasers, while Washington dairies sell at 15 cents a quart to households and 13 cents to stores.
