Chancellor li-J-lls Up Greatest Majority In History Obtaining 98.79 Per Cent Of Ballots Cast.

(By Melvin K. Whiieleuther, Associated Press Foreign Staff) (A. P. By Gunrdian’s Special Wire)

BERLIN, March SO-(Mondayy-Germany expressed in votes yesterday its overwhelming approval of Reichs- fuehrcr Hitler's policies, including his remilltarizatlon of the Rhineland and denunciation of the Locarno Treaty.

Under the pressure of the Nazi propaganda machine, Iler Fuehrer won the greatest majority the head of any,

state ever received, Reichstag.

- The final official recapitu

in ihe election of candidates for the

laiion of the returns showed

that 98.79 per cent of those who voted marked “X” in the

sole circle on the ballots.

0f the 45,428,641 qualified voters, 44,95C.4'l6 voted and MJOBJMF- or 97.75 per cent-showed their approval of the Reichsfuehrer’! polieiel. There were 542,054 invalid ballots, and 476,165 persons qualified to vote

_ did not exercise the franchise.

if a voter‘ left his ballot. blank or treated it. in any manner othel than placing an “X” in the circle. it. was counted invalid. Thla group, therefore, included those who wished to express disapproval of the

ltelchsfuehrcrh policies.

Hitler's opposition of all kindsr- '

elf-Communists, err-Socialists, Cath- olics and others-approved his march into the Rhineland.

The early ballot counting showed Hltlej: having as much as 99.1 per cent approval but more invalid votes showed up later.

Record Majority

The greatest, majority Hitler has hadiin previous plebisciles was in Dec., 1933, when 95.1 per cent of the voters approved Germany's quitting the League of Nations and the disarmament conference.

From the list of 1,035 candidates, Der Fuehrer will select the Relchs- tag members, who probably will number about 700, depending on the total number of ballots cast.

Exhortations had been aimed into the_ears of the German people since March 7 to vote for Hitler, and Nazi trumpets and squawklng automobile horns called them to the polls.
