VOLUME LY. Hindenburg’s Death: Vacates No, 186. ‘The German presidency, vacated bby the death of Paul Von Hinden- burg, has been reduced by the Nasis from @ position of authority to « rubber stamp status which amounts to little more than the task of impersonating the dignity |. of the state,” Under a two-year-old amend- tment to the constitution, Dr. Er- win Bunike, as president’ of the weich’s supreme court, would serve as president of Germany un- 1H) @ regular election is held. That amendment was passed when Von Hindenburg’s health failed alarm- ingly. Bumke is a 60-year-old Jurist whe has kept out of poli- ties. Until he went on the bench in| 1928, he had devoted nearly all; hhis adult life to work in the min-| ietry of justice, reforming the) penal code. During the World| ‘war he served on the general staff te counteract espionage.

Allen of the District of Columbia reported that he found the “snootiest” people on earth. Allen let his beard grow, missed a few baths and neatly pressed! suits, and spent his vacation ap- plying for jobs at government} employment agencies in a num. ber of mid-western cities—but | failed to land a job. i “I found out our employment | system is all wrong’ from begin- ning to end,” said Commissioner | Allen. “Around the employment agencies run by the federal gov- ernment you will tind the snootiest | | people on God’s green earth.

' BY AUTOMOBILE DRIVEN BY ABELARDO LOPEZ; IN,' JURIES NOT SERIOUS ~ i Sylvia Gates, nine year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sanwel' Gates, was struck and knocked’ down yesterday morning at the corner of Angela and Simonton} street, by a car driven by Abe-' lardo Lopez. She had started to go to Duval) street to watch the Florida Na- tional Guards marching to the en. campment and stepped directly in | the path of the moving car. As soon as the accident happen- | ed, Mr, Lopez stopped the slowly moving vehicle, jumped to the , ground and placing the child in! the ear drove directly to the Ma-| rine hospital where first aid ‘wast given, after which she was taken to her home on Angela street. Mr. Gates said this morning} that Mr. Lopez had offered to stand all expenses of the accident but this had been refused as he, Mr. Gates, was satisfied that the! accident was unavoidable. { He said that Sylvia had a long| that between Key West and Ha-!

FERA are being sought. Key West has been extremely hard hi i by the depression. Population is ; diminishing and trade is fallin; ‘ away to nothing. Mich of this is due to the peculiar position of Key West. It is Mr. Porter's idea, however, that the city’s posi-| tion could be turned to profitable: advantage instead of remaining a’ liability. Rehabilitation of . the, potentially beautiful » city, “com> pletion of the’ highway with’ PWA! j funds, and ‘popularization of the!
