The brown uniforms of Chancellor Adolf Hitler’s na- tional socialist storm troops dom- inate the street scene.

He reiterated familiar Nazi thesis of arms equality for all, and promised a campaign “barbaric severity” against all traitors. Wave after wave of applause and cheers drowned his voice from time to time. Nazis, who control the house, especially approved his dictum that once adjourned the Reichstag ‘will be recalled only from time’ to time “to be informed by the gov-! , nm} he expressed approval of “public/ decapitation” of men who set fire! to the Reichstag building before) the last election. termine a list of eligibles for ap- pointment, except in the case of fourth class postoffices, and ap- pointments would be left entirely to the discretion of the senator or congressman in charge of that particular patronage. Although no one in an official position was willing to be quoted on the matter numerous congress- men today admitted “off the rec- ord” that Farley hatched the plan himself and is expected to put it into effect. Under the system hitherto fol- lowed such appointments could not be made until an, examinatior been held, but such 9 tions have long been regarded as mere formality, the apopintments always going to the person with the proper political backing. Adoption of the Farley plan would involve a huge saving in ex- penditures of the civil service commission since there are several thousand places throughout the country at which examinations will have to be held immediately if the old system is followed. DISTRIBUTION OF FLOUR CONTINUES APPROXIMATELY 150 SACKS GIVEN OUT DURING DAY Flour distribution continues daily at the lighthouse department storage building. Approximately 150 sacks were given out today. Altogether up to date there have been given out 1876 sacks; 328 of the 49 pound sacks and 1048 of the 24% pound sacks, leaving a balance of 1584 sacks of the original 2960, received. The new system of distribution now being used is proving more satisfactory than the former meth- |, it is said. Now the regular schedule that was started is being strictly maintained. First to be served were those who had receipts showing that when able financially they had takei out membership in the Red Cross.
