By the Associrted P BERLIN, Ma:ch 11.—Chancellor Adolf | Hitler's iror broom will be wielded more vigorously then ever tomorrow when two more electicns will be held through- out the Reich These are the pro- vincial and municipal-communal elec- tions. It is estimated that the fate of 200,- 000 officehclders will bs at stake. Ap- proximately a million candidates are running for the piaces. In - Berlin elone, where the Com- munisis kitherio have been dom'aant, 7403 ccndidates are run municipal cffices and 730 in greater Ber 20 dictr The fate of anti-Nationz! eouncilmen #nd other cffic imagined from a spe terd: 7 Hermann G ng, minister “This coming Sunaay taere will be a big cleanout and it will cnly be the beginning,” Capt. Coering said. “The German communes, once the strength of the German people, are ruined and overburdened by debt. The worst form of corruption has been rampant. “I have prepared a decree, called the anti-corruption decree, which will tear up the present accursed system of graft, root and branch.” The cabinet minister intimated that his measures would be retroactive and that persons found gullty of graft would be called upon to refund their spoils. He hinted that the pensions of such offenders might be revoked Chancellor Hitler, in a final cam- pzign appeal to the natlon, asserted that solidarity in Germany must come be- fore solidarity with foreign powers. Reunited Germany First. “Our first task is tg reunite Ger- many,” he sald. “Peacc is beautiful and so is strength. No one wants our hand. They want only our money. An understanding betwcen two parties is only possible between equa where there is equal strength.” The ordering of the election in Prus- sia, where officials in all city and town councils and kindred bodies will be chosen, was part of the government’s strategy to get control of the Prussian Diet. To gain complete control of this body it was necessary to dominate the Prussian triumvirate, composed of the premier, the Diet president and the president of the state council. The government hopes that the replace- ment of opvosition officeholders by Hit- ler supporters will result in the selec- tion of a Nazi as president of the state eouncil. The newly elected Reichstag, in which the government parties have a majority, will meet March 21‘in the Kroll Opera House, opposite the Reich- stag Building, which was damaged by fire two weeks ago. The session will be preceded on the same day by a solemn inaugural ceremony at the Potsdam Garrison Church, where Frederick the Great is buried, with President Von Hindenburg officiating. The néw Reich- stag is expected to take an extended vacation, possibly two years, almest im- mediately” after it meets. This will leave the Hitler administration in full control ~f the government. Will Have Clear Majority. Dr. Wilhelm Frick, minister of in- terior, is authority for the statement that the 81 Communists elected to the Reichstag last Sunday will not be al- lowed to take their seats. Thus the Nazis will have a clear majority and ‘will not have to deperid on the support of their Nationalist allies. ‘The extending of Nazi rule to all Ger- many was continued today with the disy solution of the Republican Reichsban- ner organization in Bavaria. This was ordered by Gen. Franz von Epp, the federal commissioner who has taken over control of Bavaria for the cen- tral government. Two Bavarian Popu- list newspapers were ‘suspended for a week. German Jews have received the gov- ernment’s promise that they will be fully protected by the law, but many of them, impelled by anti-Semitic dem- onstrations on the part of the Nazis, are taking precautions for their own safety. Produce Exchange Invaded. Numerous Jews have considered it wiser to leave Germany until conditions are more nearly normal. Among them are Theodor Wolff, editor of the Ber- liner Tageblatt; Prof. George Bernard, former editor of the Vossische Zeitung; Oscar Conn, former Socialist member of the Reichstag; Alfred Kerr, dramatic critic; Bernhard Weiss, formerly sec- ond in command of the Berlin police; Isaac Steinberg, a Russian emigre, who ‘was minister of justice in Lenin's first coalition cabinet; George Tietz, head of a large department store, and Robert|® ‘Weismann, state’s secretary in the for- mer Prussian cabinet headed by Pre- mier Otto Braun. f the Temple o debris of the ages.

By the Associated Press, NEW YORK, March 11—Unprece- dented is a word which irritates many old timers in Wall Street, particularly as applied to the present financial sit- uation. Like old war veterans, they speak of past severe slumps, and conclude with “We licked ’em,” or words to that effect. i 've got to stand and fight,” de- clared a veteran banker, “just as we did before. ber 1907.” They emphasized that just as past fights have always been won, this one will be, too. There were expressions before the memory of men now living, but written records tell their stories.

Two alleged bookmaking establish- ments were raided yesterday afternoon by the headquarters vice squad. The raiders first entered a store in the 1800 block of Seventh street and found a rear room equipped with a battery of telephones. and a blackboard for posting horse rice results. They arrested David Kaplan, 29, and charged him with accepting bets. He later was released under $2,000 bond. ‘The second place raided was in-the 1700 block of Fourteenth street, where ‘Thomas Graham, 32, of the 300 block of Twelfth street southeast, was ar- rested on a charge of permitting g:ngng.

But expansion went too far and the discovery of fraud in the offices of a large railway com- pany was the signal of still another panic. The story was told again. A former great banker turned to the man- ufacture of candles. This was in 1857. Four years later there was the Civil War. Afterward—as usual—war prices collapsed and panic followed. Then came a period of rapid industrial ex- pansion. Philadelphia Bank Closing. . On the morning of September 18, 1873, the doors of Jay Cooke's great bank in Philadelphia closed. The coun- try had marched too fast. There was an avalanche of failures. From April, 1873, to June, 1879, prices fell about 40 per ~zut. This depression ended about 1880, but it was only an interlude, for another crash came in 1884. It ended in the late 80s. The coun- try sailed along until 1893, when there was another depression, a bad one. It ended, too. In 1907 it came again, an- nounced by speculative collapse, caused by a number of things.

Two tiny coral atolls in the Japa- nege-mandated Caroline Islands of the Eastern Pacific will be the only spots Of earth in the path of totality of & coming solar eclipee, ~observations of which> are expected to prove of ex- ceptional scientific importance, it has been determined at the Naval Almanac Office here. \ The eclipse will'take place in the late Summer of 1934 and its path will be entirely over the sea except for the islands of Losap and Orlac, sccording to the calculations of Prof. James Robertson, director of the Al- manac Office, who holds what amounts to the unll‘que position of the world's cial eclipse predictor. dpxxh. of maps of the Pacific and reports of mariners show that no other spot ever has beep re- rted where observing instruments could be set up. The path of totality starts over the ocean just north of Borneo and sweeps along a _sea path across the Pacific to Peru. It reaches the South American coast, however, just & moment or two before sunset so observations there probably would be worthless. Short Duration. Over Losap the period of totality will be two minutes and seven seconds. The other islands of the Caroline group will fall well within the zone of partial eclipse, but will be useless- for the purposes of astronomers. Losap is de- scribed as a typical Pacific coral atoll with an excellent harbor in its center, surrounded by a rim of land coverpd with coconut palms. The atoll has & small native paglu.lltlbn, It is one of the group of nds which includes Yap, dicovered by the Portuguese in 1527 and purchased from Spain by Germany early in the present century. It was placed under a Japanese man- date after the World War. This will be a phenomenal eclipse, eration. according to Prof. Robertson’s will pass over the sun when that body s surrounded by a mass approxi- mately 100 stars between thE fifth and ninth degrees of magnitude. The most distant of them will be only two and a half degrees away from the sun. All will come clearly into view the moment the sun is darkened. Ordinarily there are only a few scat- tered stars close enough to the sun to show any effects. The dpportunity will be unexcelled to observe whether there is any actual bending of the path of starlight as it passes close to the enor- mous attractive mass of the solar orb. This is fundamental in all relativistic interpretations cf astronomical phe- nomena, but such minute measure- ments are required that many observa- tions are necessary to eliminate pos- sible errors. Flock to Losap. Astronomers, it is expected, will flock to Losap from large observatcries aly over the world. Whether the Navy will send an expedition has not been de- cided. It usually sends observers to all major eclipses because they offer the cnly natural checks on the accuracy of bodies upon which all exact determina. tions of time and position depend. ernment Prof, rtson has calcu- lated the path of the total eclipse of 1936 will start in Greece and sweep northeastward over Russia and Siberia and then over Japan, to disappear in the Pacifie. Japan what the eclipse of last Sum- mer was to New England and will be | closely comparable in range and dura- tion. Until reassured by Prof. Robert- son, Japanese astronomers had feared that the path of totality might just miss the islands. Japan is already making plans to entertain the world’s | astronomers at both eclipses. EXTENSION OF STREETS WEDNESDAY C. Commissioners to Receive Proposals in Board Room at 10 A M.

Braving subfreezing temperatures, several hundred of the Nation's air- dock while a 325-plece band recruited ifrom Akron’s high schools played ! patriotic music. Upon a flag-draped stand under the Macon's giant bow, Mrs. W. A. Moffett, wife of Rear Ad- miral Moffett, chief of the Bureau of | Naval Aeronautics, pulled a silken red, white and blue cord and pronounced, “I christen thee Macon.” 48 Pigeons Released. At the signal, 48 pigeons, emblematic of the ship’s dedication to the Nation and to her element, the air, were re- leased. Two cf them headed for Macon, G 500 miles away in the warm Southland, the rest for Akron nests. At the same instant a picked ground crew released the cables and the 785- foot length of the mammoth Macon billowed gently upward in the hazy atmosphere of the air dock’s “sky.” The Macon was officially “air-borne.” Immediately she was made fast again to be made ready for the first trial flights, tentatively set for March 30.
