DR, HOEFLE TAREN ON FRAUD CHARGE German- Politician Involved in| . Funds Scandal By The Assoclated Press Dr. Anton Hoefle, former minister of posts and the clerical party's member in the Marx-Stresemann cabinet was arrested today after a cross-examination by the public prosecutor, The arrest was saild fo be due to imeriminating . statements made agalnst him by officlals of the Bar- mat brothérs, to whom state funds are alleged to havebeen loaned, and also the suspicion that he was at- tempting to conceal incriminating documents, . The Berlin branch of the soclal- democratic party has passed reso- lutlons 'demanding the exclusion from the party of ex-Chancellor Gustav Bauer, owing to the charges conecting him with the Barmat af-| fair.
