COAL HEARING IS ANNOUNCED First Hearing On Soft Coal Prices At Denver In August Washington. June 28—<U.R) The national bituminous coal commission announced today Its first hearing on proposed minimum soft coal prices will be held in Denver. Colo, in August. This action made it appear that a new national price structure might be effective by the peak of the coal-marketing season late in October or November. The Denver hearing, including eight western states and Alaska, will precede a similar hearing for eastern producers which probably will be held in Washington. The commission's announcement said that “by this procedure of hearing the western producers separately from the eastern group, the commission anticipates a speeding up of the final steps necessary in the re-establishment of minimum prices and marketing rules and regulations." No definite date was set for the western hearing but it was understood that it probably will begin about Aug. 15. States included in this hearing are Colorado, Now Mexico, Arizona, Wyoming. Idaho. Utah. Montana ' and Washington. Earlier, the ‘commissioner had set the last of three hearings to determine the weighted average cost of producing soft coal. A hearing for 12 southern and middle-western states, comprising districts 9 to 15 inclusive, will be held here July 13. following a similar hearing for producers in ' the Appalachian states and Michigan which will begin July 6. The western cost hearings for producers in the Rocky Mountain and Pacific Coast states was held in Denver June 13 to 16. After the weighted average cost s is determined, the commission will hold two other public hearings before fixing minimum prices to replace those revoked after being enjoined by several circuit courts I -of appeal.

Fuehrer Adolf Hitter chose Seym-1 Inquart as transitional head of Nazi .Austria and removed Capt. Leopold from the Austrian scene by attaching him to the staff of Rudolf Hess. Hitler’s deputy. Hitler permitted the legionnaires to return from Bavaria only after a moderate regime was in firm control in Vienna. \ (Hitler then chose Buerckel ae a man of proved tenacity and judgment to function as trustee of the reunion. Thousands of posts had to be filled and there seemed thousands of Nazi applicants for most of them. The reault was that great numbers of old-time Nazis were passed ' over or received more modest jdbs : than they felt entitled to. A grumbling campaign began and in some quarters took on the aspect of sabotage. Buerokel's attitude toward the mutineers wa«s the same as that of Hitler before the great June 30. 1934. purge, namely, “advise and warn them and await results." The result was that in late May i and early June, Buerckel, working with Hinynler and police general I Kurt Daluege, conducted a series ‘ of thorough, systematic but bloodless purges, arresting hundreds and sending them to the concentration cam-p. The subsequent reorganization of the storm troops, on which Hitler
