list of those executed, tonight

Secure thus far in his position, Hitler prepared to consolidate him- self and his colleagues by forcing from power the mainstay of the Conservatives, Vice Chancellor Von Papen. An authoritative source said Von Papen, a staunch friend of President Von Hindenburg, a de- vout Catholic and a critic of many Nazi policies, will go out of office tomorrow. Present plans, said this information. call for elevation to the Vice-Chancellorship of I-Ier- mann Wilhelm Goering, Prussian premier and co-purger with Hitler in Saturday's suppression of “trait- ors."

Hindenburg Acts

The President of the Reich warn- ed Von Papen must not be harmed. The bluff, soldierly President, re- garded 24 hours ago as a sick old man, exposed his iron hand to the strife-tom nation by making the Reichswehr (regular army) directly responsible for the safety of his friend and protege Von Popen.

Not long after this became known a spokesman for the propaganda ministry stated it had been defin- itely estoblished the Vice Chancel- lor nad no connection with the at- tempted rebellion which led to the executions-

BERLIN, July 2—Hundreds of persons have been summarily executed in Adolf Hitler's suppression of revolt in Nazi ranks, a reliable source stated tonight, as the full significance of the party “blood purge" became more

More than 60 persons were shot down in Berlin alone, said this authority, indicating that previous reports that only a score or so fell were far short of the real facts. The government, which has been promising an. “authentic”

cleared at tomorrow's cabinet ses- sion, but would resign because some men in his office had been involved.

“He is sitting in hL; home," this spokesman said of Von Papen.

“In a bank it may happen that some lower official absconds." he continued, speakng of Von Papen's position. “The chief director is not implicated, but he is considered as having lacked in vigilance. Such a man often resigns."

Many Suleided

Only 1o executions have been accounted for in offcial statements, despite reports that literally hun- dreds were executed and many "took the consequences" (commit- ted suicide) or were "killed resist- ing arrest."

It was known that many, high in social and political life, were in cus- tody, but their whereabouts was not revealed. As many as 200 were said to be in custody.

Major Mueldner Von Muelmheim, for many years adjutant to former Crown Prince Freidrich Wilhelm, was arrested because of his friend- ship for General Kurt Von Schleicher, killed with his wife lwliiie “resisting arrest" Saturday.

l It was emphasized the majors larrest was "personal," and that the ' former Royal family is unmoiested.

The former Crown Prince said he had been in no way molested. and each Hohenzollem in Germany was safely accounted for.

These included Prince August Wilhelm, the former Kaiser's fourth son, himself a storm troop leader and thus subject to being torn from a pedestal and stood against a wall, if found to have joined with the “rebels."

President's Message

President Von Hindenburgs or- der making the Reichswehr directly responsible for the safety of Von Papen threatened a stage of seige (which in Germany at present would mean in effect a military dictatorship, since . the Reichswehr is said to be 100 percent loyal to the President.)

News of this stand by the 80- year-old President came after he had sent a message to Chancellor Hitler congratulating him on his coup against the rebels within the Nazi party and within the govem- ment.

“From reports submitted to me," he telegraphed from his country estate at Neudeck, "I see that by your resolute operation and cour- ageous personal action all high treasonable machinations have been nipped in the bud.

"You have saved the German people from serious dangers- I ex- press to you my deep thanks and gratitude, with cordial regards. Signed. Von Hindenb g, Reichsl President."

At the same time the President thanked Prussian Premier Goering for his "energetic and succmfui action in suppression of sn attempt at high treason."

Goering personally directed the raids in Berlirrsgsinst mutinous storm troop leaders and. Conserv- atives, while Hitler was raiding the Munich headq ter- and directing the execution of Ernst Roehm. Minister without portfolio and su- preme ommander of the storm H0095-

WARSAW, July 2-—The Smok- lyn soda-pop manufacturing bro- thers who set out for Poland by air last week su usiy complet- ed their flight today and were ac- claimed by a huge throng at the airport and in the streets of the City they left l7 years ago.

Joseph and Benjamin Adumo- wicz ended their trans-Atlantic flight to Warsaw at 5.15 p. m.

Forced down twice after an em- ergency landing in France in PTB-Iifile. their first landfall after the Newfoundland take-off they arrived in fine spirits in spite of the delays, which they attributed, to a clogged feed pipe and a fuel shortage.

Their plane, the City of Warsaw.‘ after taking on fuel at Fleas] France. stopped at Nedlitz, Ge - any. and again at Toron, Poland, where a flight of six Polish nullit- ary planes met them to act a; a special escort for me m; 0g m, journey. The borders of the Mole. otow Airport were black with peek- ed thousands of patriotic mthm. iastics as the machines roared 1n and circled the field.

So dense was the crowd cums, the field that many who would have been among the first offic- ials to greet the flyers were unable to get through, to them. A number of Polish notibles sndt foreign c“- voys, including the United State's Ambassador to Polahd. "from Cudahy. met the flyers officially Only after they had been brought to the town hall through streets gay with flowers and bunting, past rows of cheering admirers.

Bottles of rare wine were un- corked in honor of the airmen, but the brothers surprised their hosts by asking for beer instead.

HALIFAX. July 2—Predictiou that a trans-Atlantic air service from the British Isles to Newfound- land would be inaugurated soon was made by Holger Hoiriis, noted Unit. ed States aviator, who arrived here today on the liner Silvia from St. John's.

I-Ioiriis flew to Newfoundland last week with the Adamowicz broth- ers, who completed their adventur- ous flight from New York to War- saw today.

"I knew they would be all right." he said as he heard the news of their safe arrival in their native land. “I am tickled to death they were so successful."

All of his close aides have dis- appeared—taken to prison, execut- ed, or perhaps classified as having “taken the consequences"-no one is certain about most of them.

Berlin's "Blue Monday"

It was the bluest sort of blue Monday in Berlin.

As people urnt about their nor- mal duties, they glanced this way and that and talked about nothing more important than the weather.

jCunard And White Star Company Will Operate Fleet of 25 Liners.

(GP. by Guardian's Special Wire) NEW YORK, July 2—After years of rivalry and months of litigation, two of the oldest ship lines in op- eratlon were merged today into the new Cunard and White Star Com- pany. Ltd. .

The new firm will operate a fleet of 28 liners whose total tonnage ex- oeeds 600.000 a fleet that will in- clude the two largest trans-Atlantic vessels afloat, the Majestic and the Bercngarin .

The history of the two companies Cunard and Whzte Star, is the story of modern shipping. The Cunard line sent the Britannia across the Atlantic in i840. the first steamship to ply the ocean be- twecnt North America and Europe on a regular schedule. The White Star Line. founded in i869, oper- ated the Oceanic, the first steam- ship to go to sea. equipped with bathrooms.

Announcement of the intended merger months ago brought bitter opposition and threatened injunc- tions from a United. States firm. which claimed to be interested through holding a large block of first mortgage bonds issued by one of the companies. some delay in carrying out the plan resulted, but the case was finally dismissed from gge court and the merger complet-

The new company's schedule calls for eleven sailings from Canadian and United States ports during Jilly. August and September. There will also be 15 cruises.

Formation Of Coalition Gov- ermnent With Hon. George Hoadley Is Re-

ported.

-.. a V; By George Finlay,

Canadian Press Staff Writer. (By Guardian's Special Wire)

EDMONTON, July Z-Formation of a coalition government in Alber- ta with Hon. George Hoadley, vet- cran legislator, as its head, was a possibility discussed in political cir- cles here on Dominion Day.

The possibility arose out of the report that Premier J. E. Brownies, whom a civil court jury found. had seduced a young Parliament build- ing stenographer, had handed in his resignation as head of the govern- ment to the lieutenant-governor. The report had not been verified to- night while it still stood undenied.

The 50-year-old premier had been sued by Vivian MacMillsn, 22, and her father for unstated damages on an aliegatio of seduction. The jury late Saturday night found in favor of the plaintiff and awarded the for- mer legislature stenogmpher 810,000. To her father they awarded 85,000.

Acting Chief Justice W. C. Ives. who presided at the made his disagreement with the verdict and said he would hear argument on a motion for dismissal of it after he had “refreshed his mind.”

Word of the jury verdict ‘was fol- lowed quickly with the unauthor-ita- tive but widely-circulated report that the premier had resigned.

It was expected that a definite an- nouncement would be forthcoming from either the premier or the lieu- tenant-govemor ‘Tuesday.

An emergency caucus of United Farmers of Alberta party leaders and House members. is slated for to- morrow. It was expected that the premier would make known his fut- ure plans following the meeting. If a successor is to be named. it is ex- pected he will be the veteran Mr. Hoadley, present Minister of Health, or I-Ion. R. G. Reid, Minister of Municipal Affairs.

The caucus could follow three courses:
