BERLIN, July 20.—The German gove | ernment, with old-time military pre- cision, moved swiftly this morning to establish a virtual dictatorship cver the huge State of Prussia and to clamp down martial law on the City of Berlin and the Province of Brandenburg The first action was taken under an emergency decree issued by President Pzul von Hindenburg this morning. It followed critical pressure upon the gov- ernment to stop the political riots, which have taken a toll of more than 100 dead and 1200 injured in the last three weeks Von Papen Commissioner. Chancellor Franz von Papen was ap- pointed commissioner of Prussia and Lord Mayor Franz Bracht of Eessen assistant and given the dictatorial power in Von Papen’s name. The decrce cf martial law was issued when Karl Severing. Prussian minister interior, _declined to accept the President’s ‘first emergency decrce as yield only to force. Gen. Gerd von Rundstedt, commander _of the 3d Reichswehr (army) district, was placed in charge of tial law order. He also was given com- mand cf all police forces in this area. Chancellor von Papen decided, for | the present at least, to remove only Premier Braun and Heéfr Severing from the Prussian ministry, leaving the rest | of the members of the state cabinet in and six ministries before the present | | office as his deputies. | Besides deputizing Herr Bracht to exercise the general dictatorial power, he charged him especially to take over Severing's interior. Move to Establish Order. A government spokesman said Presi- dent von Hindenburg's action was taken | only with a view of establishing security | and order in Prussia and that it was merely a passing measure. Herr Bracht arrived here by airplane | today to begin his duties. The martial law decree emphasized that “the independence of Prussia within the framework of the constitu- tion is not touched by the emergency | decree.” < The government charged that while the other States of the Reich squelched communistic disorders Prussia failed to do so. It expressed the opinion that Herr Severing and other high officials | of the Prussian state regime contributed to the unrest “by their unrestrained sharp attacks on the Reichs govern- ment.” Early in the afternoon the Prussian ministry of state, in the Wilhelmstrasse, was occupied by soldiers. The president of the police, the vice president and the commander resigned.

The answer? Profits from municipal utilities, economy all down the line and strict budgeting. The Ponca City commissioners have been reducing taxes despite the fact that municipal water and light rates have been cut twice in two years. Last year's municipal tax was an 8-mill-on-a-dollar sinking fund levy. (Continued on Page 2, Column 8.)

Two Mentioned for Posts. Mr. Hoover had given no advance in- dicaticn as to whom he would select for these posts. Owen D. Young, in- dustrialist, and Wilson W.
