HITLER INTIMATES | CABINET SUPPORT Informs German President He Has Reconsidered - Conditional Aid. By the Associated Press BERLIN, January 26.—German poli- ties took a sensational turn late this afternoon when Adolf Hitler informed President Von Hindenburg that he had reconsidered making his support by the “presidial” cabinet conditional upon his appointment to the Chancellorship. By yielding his “all or nothing” policy, Hitler paved the way for possi- bility of support for the Von Schleicher cabinet by the parties from the Cen- trists to the National Socialists, a con- dition which would insure the stability of the government for a considerable time. Whether this means continuation of the Von Schleicher cabinet cr appoint- ment of a new cabinet rests entirely| with the President. Those who profess to know the Presi- dent’s mind said they would not be surprised if Franz von Papcn wou'd re- celve a mandate to head a new cabinet. This would mean that Gen. von Schleicher would either retire or return to the defense ministry, the department which he headed during the last Von Papen government. Restrictive Decrees Threatened. A government spokesman said today that if the political parties do not mod- erate their language and cesist from acts of violence the government is de- termined to reinstate restrictive decrees which were in effect during the Von Papen and Bruening regimes. The spokesman s2id the bloodshed at Dresden last night must be the last Fifteen hundred people gathered In a forbidden meeting in Dres- den.

Mrs. Katle Wilson-Greene, who| brought to the Capital virtually every famous musical artist during the past 25 years, died today of pneumonia at ihe home of her niece, Mrs. Dorothy Hodgkin Dorsey, her associate in the | ‘Wilson-Greene Concert Bureau, at 1629 Irving street. . Mrs. Wilson-Greene had been identi- fled with Washington music for about 50 years. She had been ill for several months and recently pneumonia set in, ending her life. She was the widow of Thomas Evans Greene, well known operatic and con- cert tenor and member of a prominent Eastern Shore family, who died several years ago. Christemed Katie Wilson, the concert manager changed her name ugen marrying to Wilson-Greene, hy- phenating the name, and formed a bus- iness partnership with her husband, which resulted in the establishment of one of the city’s most successful con- cert. bureaus. Directed Marine Band. Mrs. Wilson-Greene was probably the only woman who ever conducted the Marine Band through an entire opera. Believing the regular leader not familiar with opera, she took over leadership of the service band, some 30 years ago, during presentation at the Columbia Theater of the opera, “Samson and Delilah.” During her long managerial career she had the distinction of bringing to | Washington the Metropolitan and Chi- | cago Civic Opera Cos., leading symphony orchestras and the world's most prom- inent concert and operatic artists. Her first professional venture was the presentation to Washington audi-| ences of Nordica, the famous singer.

Blanton Win- ship, judge advocate general of the Army, as superior in “simplicity and fairness” to criminal procedure in civil courts. Speaking before the Distiict of Co- lumbia Society of the Sons of the American Revolution at the Mayflower Hotel, Gen. Winship said “The accused in a court-martial comes to trial only after an impartial investigation has been made, in which both sides are Exparte inquiries are not held. The objective of the court-martial is pure, swift and exact justice. “A comparison was made between court-martial procedure and criminal procedure in the civil courts. “The former is ideal,” said the judge advocate general, “because of its sim- plicity and fairness, while the latter is archalc, because its technicalities, delays and uncertainties are rendering futile the proper administration of justice.” The society in a resolution of praise for the Polar exploits of Capt. Evelyn Briggs Baldwin, recommended that he | be given the thanks of the Nation by the President, with a gold medal by Congress, and that he be appointed | a captain in United States Navy and | immediately retired with the h!gh(‘sl| grade and pay of his rank President 8.
