NFADDEN CHARGES - CRIMES BY WOODIN Impeachment of Secretary and Others Asked in Misuse of Gold. By the Ascociated Press. High office have now been charged to Wil- liam H. Woodin, Secretary of Treasury for only two and a half months, as well as against both his | immediate predecessors and a score of present and past Federal Reerve offi- cials Representative McFadden, Republic- an, Pennsylvania, leveled the charges yesterday in the House in a move for impeachment of the whole group. The House listened and filed the question with its Judiciary Committee, which already has a file of similar proposals by _McFadden Woodin's alleged crime had to do| with stopping gold redemption of the currency.

LOCHNER. (Copyright., 1932, by the Associated Press.) BERLIN, May President von Hindenburg, at the suggestion of the federal cabinet, has just decreed that the so-called '“statthalters”—meaning the vice regents of the state governors all be entitled to use the scal of the Reich. This privilege, insignificant in itself, symbolizes what Germans consider to be one of the most outstanding achieve- ments of the nationslist revolution, namely, the unification of Germany. The accession of Hitler to power threw state’s rights into the dust bin. Learned disquisitions on the division of powers between the federal govern- | ment and Germany's 17 federated | states, over which the best minds of | the nation, including Dr. Hans Luther, | | Ambassador to the United States, | wrangled for years, have become 50 much’ waste paper. Under the impact of the Nazi revolu- tion, Hitler was able to go much further than the most sanguine had dared to| dream. Politically speakinz, Prussia, | Bavaria and other once proud kingdoms | have ceased to lead an independent | existence. | Extent of Hitler One will—that of Hitler—now ex- tends from Berlin to the farthest | corners of the Reich. No longer can! Prussia_thwart the purpose of the fed- eral government as it often did before January 30, when Hitler came to power. No longer can Bavaria threaten to re- erect her throne unless the Reich re- spects her special wishes. No longer can the South German states plan to secede and form a separate nation south of the River Main. | Passports hitherto issued by the states | now can be obtained as Reich pass- ports only. Hitler at* the ‘helm of the federal government now appoints the “statt- halte a term literally meaning | “holders in his_stead.” | Each “statthalter” in turn nominates the state premier, who appoints a state cabinet responsible not to the Parlia- | | ment, but to the premier himself. It the “statthalter” does not enforce Hit- {ler's program in the state, he may be removed by the chanceller. The state Parliamenis become rubber stamps. Their principal purpose is to furnich a forum for occasional dramatic appeals to_the populace. | Translated into American terms, one must_imagine President Roosevelt re- moving all State Governors and other mportant State officials, and then | appointing 48 vice regents solely re- sponsible to himself, who in turn, with- | out consultir the electorate | Legislature, would appoint Go o with authority to pick their own co- workers, Besides un!

Hitler, like Roosevelt, was able to weed out thousands of gov- | ernment officials who duplicated work, | and often, in fact, threw monkey | wrenches into each other’s machinery. Vast sums also are saved by calling the Reichstag and the legislatures to- gether for only a day or two at a time at great intervals. When Franz von Papen as chancellor removed the Prussian government headed by the Socialists, Otto Braun and Karl Severing, on the ground that the nation’s interests so demanded, he intended merely to follow Bismarck’s policy of having the same person act as chancellor of the Reich and premier of Prussia. Von Papen never dreamed of interfering with the rights of the other federated states, especially not Bavaria, Wurttenburg, Saxony, Baden and Thuringia. When the German people by an over- | whelming vote turned power completely | over to the Nazis, Hitler boldly went far beyond Bismarck and simply deposed the existing state governments, putting into practice his “statthalter” scheme. No matter who may succeed Hitler come day, it is doubtful whether any- body will ever try to undo National Socialism's work of unifying and cen- tralizing the government. Says He Thinks He's King. “My husband is a madman. He thinks he is the King of England,” said the wife of Henry Miles, a farmer of Sussex, England, who was remanded | for observation on a charge of using threats to a townswoman. PUBLIC BUILDING WORK PREPARED Treasury Ready to Throw $50,000,000 Construction Work on Market. To push the administration’s plan for relief of employment and recovery of industry through the $3,300,000,000 public works bill, the Treasury Depart- ment is prepared to throw $50.000,000 worth of public building construction on the market if and when the new measure_becomes law. In m this announcement, L. W. Robert, §u, dssistant Secretary 'of the Treasury, 11 charge of the Office of Supervising Architect, sald he had been rushing his_program to have projects ready to ask for bids just as soon as the public works bill is enacted. Within 90 days, he predicted, under proper authorization by Congress, he could get another $50,000,000 worth of construction on the market. Office Reorganized. The Office of the Supervising Archi- tect, Robert said, had been ‘“reorgan- ized” and the office personnel rear- ranged to handle the rush of work. Conferences have been held by Rob- ert with architects, engineers and con- struction forces throughout the United States. His outer office is usually filled with representatives of these pro- fessions, waiting to see him in connec- tion with the Government’s new con- | struction program. j | “'The situation, Robert said, had been | worked out so that all these: forces can co-operate with the Government to speed up the public works program, get- ting money into the channels of trade as_rapidly as possible. Whereas it ordinarily would take six Robert explained, his office now is plac- ing a new limit of 90 to 110 days. Headquarters Here. | Robert’s organization includes dis- | trict engineers and construction en- | | gineers numbering about 400 scattered all over the United States and a head- | quarters personnel here in Washington of over 800 persons. |~ Concerning the appointment of an administrator of public works provided | under the new bill, Robert was non | committal. He denied knowing any thing about administration plans for this new organization. But he has been going forward with his own program |in the Treasury Department to help | employment and revive industry as soon | as possible. 'MRS.
