programme and only serious music put on the air.

For weeks Von Hindenburg has not. been in the best of health. but inrwovament has followed each alarming report.

Previously, however, such bullet.-

lna as those issued today did not B-DPQU’; neither, was there the wideanread uuu1n aniong the pgq- pie. The nation on Hinder-lb in the Great War and whulcgh l: auldad during troubled days later learned with extreme sorrow and earnest hope that four famous Phyalciarls are attending the "Brand old man.” Prayers were said in every u". man community that he might be spared to exert his conservative in- fluence further in the present dig. ficult tuna.

Reports well Founded

The first official communique from Neudeck showed that serious apprehensions were well founded. "In view of the advanced age of the Field Marshal-General," it said "serious apprehension is well founded. Physicians in charge are I'll Dioaent in Neudeck. A con- tinuous bulletin service ‘will be maintained."

Later bulletins stated the Pre- sident had breakfast “outside his

“He showed a complete under- standing of what was going on about him." it continued. “After returnl-YIS to bed he fell into a. quiet sleep. His pulse was strong, although numerically higher." Hitler ordered all members of the Cabinet, most of whom have been on vacation to return to Ber- lin and. be ready for a meeting of the Cabinet tomorrow night. Rudolf Hess, minister without portfolio, was the first to arrive, leaching Berlin by motor at seven P. m.

If President Von Hlndenburg still is living Hitler plans to go by plane to Mrlrienbilrg. leaving here at six a. m. tomorrow.

From Marienburg he will motor to Neudeck to demonstrate his veneration for the President and in the hope of’ speaking to him once more.

Many Germans were more an.- xious than ever that Von Henden- burg should live to continue as a conservative influence in their country.

Aside from the immediate ques- tion of the President's condition. is the important problem regarding succession. Political circles mention several possibilities, but the gov- errrmcnt showed speculation dis- tinctly is not wanted by suspend- ing for a week the newspaper "Dutsclre Zeitung" for "tactless (though distinctly pro-Hitler) comment.

The first possibility. which most persons in political circles seemed to regard as most likely, was that of Dr. Edwin Bumke. president of the Supreme Court, would become temporary president until new elections are held. in accordance with the constitution.

In this connection, however, it was carefully pointed out. by a. for- eign office official that "the Hitler Government holds emergency powers enabling it to do almost anything."

SPECULATION CURBED

BERLIN, July til-The Propa- ganda Ministry today ordered the German press not to speculate on the successor of President Von Hindenburg in the event, of his death, informing journalists "all that has been taken care of.“

The Propaganda Ministry's cryp- tic assurance that the matter was settled left editorial offices throughout Germany wondering what these few words. . concerning which further comment was r8-

MANYMEASIIRES P A s s E n IN ‘BRITISH iinusii

(CI. Cable By Guardian’: special Wire)

T-ONDON. July Iii-Both Houses of Parliament adjourned tcday un- til Oct. 10, unless the Lord Chan- wllvl‘ and the speaker decided the public irlterest. requires an Borlier re-assembly.

Dllrlflfl the part 01' the session just over Parliament passed almost 50 public bill-s. Those left for the Autumn include the betting and lotteries bill and a. measure design- ed to curb and punish persons in- citing disaffection among His Ma- jesty's forces.

When the House of Commons re- sumes its session h-l the Autumn most of the oustanding businea will be cleaned up in a fortnight or three weeks after which the new session will be Qpclldd. at once.

The chief issue before the next session will be that of a new con- stitution for India.

A budget with a sill-plus, plans for

an increased air force. and a de- cision to reinforce the Locarno Pact with closer (so-operation with France were the high spots of the session. A mass of legislation to aid agri- culture, industry, shipping and trade were among the important accomplishments .

The budget of Neville Chamber- lain, Chancellor of the Exchequer, which gave the nation a pleasant surprise by showing a surplus. was considered by the conservatives t0 have been the blg feat of the ses- slon.

Decision of the government to bolster the Locarno Pact. was pleas- ing to a majority. although some members felt Great Britain might have made new commitments on the continent. such fears were ai- layed by Sir John Simon. Foreign Secretary and Stanley Baldwin. acting Premier. who emphatically denied new commitments had been made.

'I'he third session of the 36th

Parliament since the Union Act of 18ft‘. saw unemployment seduced. and unemployment measures re- vamped and consolidated. A tory spokesman said: "The party is extremely proud of the record of the session and the record of the government during the session. We will have plenty t9 show the voters when we ask them for a, new mandate in the next el- ection.“ .

The plans to increase the air force was the outstanding defence programme announced in Com- mons. and tanned in importance with a number of major state- ments on foreign policy by Sir John.

Conference V

Reactions

(C. I’. By Guardian's Special Wire)

OTTAWA. July Ill-Provincial premiers attending the conference on unemployment relief were re- ticent today when questioned as to thir reactions toward the new budget scheme of federal assist- ance anncunced by Prime Minister R. B. Bennett-

"We know exactly where wo stand at least." observed Hon. L. P. D, Tllley, Premier of New Bruns- wick. He was apparently prepared to make the best of the situation and carry on under the new scheme if possible.

Disappointment at the course the conference had taken was express-

fused, might mcan.

one thing. namely that Hitler would automatically succeed to the lead- ership of the nation, whatever be hLs title. To dichards of the old regime it meant that Dr. Edwin Bunke, President of the Supreme Court, would become acting Pres- ident, according to law, preceding a national election.

BRITAIN ANXIOUS

(By Albert Wilson, Associated Preaa Staff Writer)

LONDON, July Iii-Official Brit- ain speculated today with uncon- cealed anxiety on the possible clit- come of the illness of Presidsnt Von Hindenbilrg of Germany.

“He is to Germany what King George is to England and King Victor Emmanuel is to Italy." was the comment of a high authorit- ative source, who said Von Hin- denburgs death would be a severe blow to Germany and to the whole world.

"His loss would be even more serious politically," the spokesman added, “because the question of who will take his place is not auto- lnatlcally answer ."

WILL VISIT FRANCE

LONDON. Jilly Iii-Stanley Bald- win. acting Prime Minister, will leave for Air-Les-Bain, France. August, 8. Neville Chamberlain. Chancellor of the Exchequer, will be in charge of the government during his absence.

‘Ib the consternation of tho guests the vicar was very late for the ceremony.

Years afterwards he met the bridegroom, and taking him by the hand, reunarked: "Well, John. it is Just. ten years ago since I BRW W" an awful fright."

"Yes," said John gloomily. "Arid I've atill got her."

To every Nazi they meant buti

ed by Premier Angus L. Macdonald of Nova Scotia. He had expected there would be a more extensive discussion as between the provinces and the Dominion on the whole problem instead of a straight "take it or leave it." proposition.

“We are quite content,“ said Hon. Dr. W. J. MacMillan. Prem- ier cf Prince Edward Island. In that happy province where those on direct relief have been number- ed in the low hundreds the people have managed to gain a living from the land and sea. and their great trouble has been to secure a profitable price for the product of their labor. The industrial unem- ployed have been few in number and the Island has made little de- mand on the federal treasury.

The most colorful summing up of the situation was offered by Mitchell l". Hepburn. youthful Premier of Ontario. "It is a case of the federal government saying ‘here's the alimony-now you bring up the children,“ Mr. Hepburn said.

"We are no worse off than we were before." said Premier J. G. Gardiner of Saskatchewan. His province, he added, had peculiar problems different from those ll‘ more industrial communities and he was hoping further discussions would bring about something more closely approaching adequate aa- sistance.

promised safe transit to Germany because Dollfuss was killed.

Bombings

New bombing outrages broke out as the two went on trial before a court martial yesterday and as the armed revolt in the southern prov- inces was all but wiped out.

At the same time the government of Kurt Von Schuschnlgg, Dollfuss’. successor, took stern measures to suppress Nazis. ordering that those who engaged in rebellion be placed in concentration camps at hard labor, their property confiscated.

Holzweber and Planetta were hanged after the prescribed three hours following their conviction by the court martial.

Their counsel made a plea. for clemency, which was rejected by President Miklas.

Both men were convicted of high treason, and in the case of Plan- etta, the charge of killing Dollfuss also was sustained. '

Prisoners Calm

The men faced the court calmly. and the official statement regard- ing the execution, which was wit- nessed only by government officials designated to do so, reported their defiance continuing to the end.

After the hanging the hangman came out of the gloomy prison court yard, wiping the back of his neck with a. handkerchief.

A week ago tonight he had exe- cuted a Socialist on the eve of Doll- fuss‘ death.

Another witness was black-robcd Provincial Court Councillor Ureuz- huber, civilian member of the court, who was required to watch the‘ hangman carry out his orders

He saluted the police and thenl ran up nearby steps to his chamber.

Then a woman in a blue dress. weeping bitterly and supported by two friends came out. She was liirau Planetta. who yesterday beg- Eed to be allowed to express her sympathy to the wife of the man her husband killed.

(The wish has not been grantedJ and Frau Dollfuss now has return- ed to her children in Riccione, Italy.) ,
