BY FREDERICK Kl'H t nlted Tress Staff Correspondent iCopvrlßht. 19J2. by United Pressl BERLIN, June 6.—Junker lords of the vast Prussian estates, captains of the “heavy industry” in the Rhine and Ruhr, militarists who yearn for the days of the army’s glory, and, last but not least, the Fascist Hitlerites, have joined hands to overthrow the last of a line of moderate cabinets through backstairs plotting and intrigue. Their coup was bloodless, and more effective than the illfated Kapp putsch or the Munich “beer cellar putsch,” for these mighty forces that hearken back to the kaiser’s days achieved power where the putsch leaders failed.
The cabinet is headed by Oberstleutenant Franz von Papon, late of the service of Seiner Majestaet Wilhelm der Zweite, and known throughout the world because of his ejection from the United States as a too zealous German plotter in the war years. But the real power in this new era of barom,, counts and adherents of the ancient regime is General Kurt von Schleicher, minister of defense, who with control of the reichswehr in his hand is as potentially mighty as a real dictator. Schleicher, heavy set and of the Prussian type, is the man to whom the Hitlerites look for real domination, once they assume the reins of government as they expect to do before long. Sound Battle Call The republic still stands, and Republican elements are sounding a call of battle against the growth of the power of the “right” parties. But the latter's sweep has been increasingly great, and between the popular call and the machinations of the barons of steel and coal and great Prussian manors, these Fascist forces have achieved a strong grasp on authority. The Von Papen-Von Schleicher cabinet will rule without the restraining hand of an unfriendly reichstag, for that body has been dissolved. Von Schleicher, whose friends were stationed in the highest government councils next to Hindenburg and Chancellor Bruening, knew every move of the president and chancellor usually at Its inception. Double-crossing was rampant among eminent government officials, whose loyalty to the administration had been considered impeccable. These men have been exposed as plotting the government's overthrowthrough connivance with Von Schleicher. Needed President's Support The truth could not have been surprising to Bruening when it became public property the day after his dismissal as he lay abed sick of a heart attack. The chancellor had broken the post-war tradition of reliance upon parliamentary democracy and he had perched the government's power out on a limb with Hindcnburg's support. The field marshal’s warm friendship for his chancellor began to cool when Bruening’s attempt in January to prolong the president's term by a reichstag vote proved a failure. When Von Schleicher forced the resignation of Bruening's chief minister of defense, Wilhelm Groener. history' again recorded the proposition that a weak civil government always brings the military party to the fore. The anti-Groener Intrigue was intended to conciliate Hitler, whose brown militia was outlawed by Groener. Bruening, already a lonely man and lacking the confidence of some of his compatriots in the government, performed endless bureacratlc chores himself while state papers accumulated on his desk. Groener Loss Hurts The loss of Groener, one of his chief links with Hindenburg, caused Bruening's aspirations to totter. Then the plotters arranged the president's sudden departure for East Prussia, where personal visits, telegrams and letters from his old war cronies among the junkers completed the breach betuen the two. Disregarding the stream of hundreds of millions of marks which the government pumped into their bankrupt estates, the junkers oi Prussian feudal landowners rebelled against Bruening. They persuaded Hindenburg to refuse to sign Bruening's decree alloting about a million acres of junker estates for settling the unemployed on farms. The junkers cried “bolshevism!” because the Breuning government was unwilling to pay them prosperity prices for unprofitable land that already was mortgaged to the hilt. Hindenburg Took Advice Among the most influential of those who induced Hindenburg to drop Bruening was the president s aged friend, Elard von Oldenburg Januschau, a junker member of the Reichstag. He is remembered for his pre-war pronouncement that “the kaiser always must be able to send a lieutenant and ten soldiers to dissolve the Reichstag.” The junker revolt paralleled the military Intrigues and also coincided with the maturing plans of the industrialists, whose newspaper, Bergwerks Zeltung, announced on May 19 its desire to oust Bruening in favor of an out-and-out dictatorship. The industrialists wanted a capital solution to the economic crisis, re-
gardless of the fact that approximately 80 per cent of the Reichstag deputies were anti-capitalistic and 97 per cent of the population was reckoned propertyless. The chief representative of the industrialists in the Bruening cabinet was the chemical trust’s director. Hermann Warmbold,, who resigned as minister of commerce a month ago because he opposed the chancellor's intention of maintaining employers’ compulsory contributions to social insurance and unemployment relief.

It’s Sure Cure for WornOut Spirit, Beth Brown Writer Says. BY EVELYN SEELEY Times Staff Writer NEW YORK, June 6.—When you've come to the end of your rope, when the depression—in your purse or your spirit—has worn you down, get in your car and speed off through the open country. Beth Brown, novelist, weary oi Hollywood, weary of the depression talk, physically exhausted, got in her car and started off across the desert, bound eventually for New York. Hobo, her wire-haired fox terrier, was her only companion. They just are back in Miss Brown's gay apartment here. “You see. you can't possibly have a nervous breakdown looking at a cow,” she said. “If vour values have become distorted, your sense of proportion cock-eyed, or you are suffering from delusions of grandeur, the open road will set you straight again. Sold on Outdoors “I tell you I am certainly sold on the out-of-doors. It’s wonderful to go through the country in the spring to see how calm it is—how things blossom and ripen just as if nothing was wrong with the world.” One night she slept at a dude ranch, another at a fine hotel, another under the stars, another curled up in her car in the midst of a sandstorm while a flat tire waited to be fixed. “The road,” she said, “was practically lined with hobos, the majority of them young men. It seemed the whole world of unemployed was out walking somewhere. They always think, of course, that the next town will hold better fortune than the last. I saw one whole family—parents and four youngsters, the youngest only s—out on the road. Likes Hobo Face “One day I picked up a veteran hobo who entertained me at a meal in a jungle. We had mud-chicken. They steal a chicken, you see; clean it, roll it in mud and bake it. It's wonderful. “I had a fine time in the jungle, but when I was out on the road again I had another experience with hobos that wasn’t so nice. I had a flat. While I was having a look at it two hobos came along—an old one and a young one. “The old one wanted the car, the young one wanted the girl. I was worried. But I told them my husband would be along ~ny minute. And Hobo, the dog, barked wildly. They went away.” Women hobos, too. she met. Three tough ones were holding a box car against all comers. Trip Held Perils “I made a lot of new acquaintances on the road,” she said. "One night I gave a ride to a gambler, another time I picked up a hack driver, once a race track man. All of these were fine, but once I picked up a devil who had seen me in the last town and had put a tack on the road to stop me. “Almost none of them were going anywhere except to somewhere else. My system was to let them ride as long as they were interesting.” Her journey alone across country, although' it held some perils and discomforts, gave her courage and calm and an inner steadiness, Miss Brown said. She believes that such a journey—on your own, close to the country and its diverse itinerants—is good for the old, the young, the jaded and the exuberant, those in love and those who only wish they ware.

OLD DUARD TO FIOHT STRADDLE ON PROHIBITION Moses Declares Plank for Resubmission Will Be Given Convention. BY RAY TUCKER Timos Staff Writer WASHINGTON. June 6 —Senator George H. Moses (Rep., N. H.), president pro tern of the senate, today headed a group of old guard senators who are in revolt against the suggestion that President Hoover seek-relection on a platform “straddling” prohibition. Following a conference on a platform Sunday between James R. Garfield, Hoover's platform-maker and slated chairman of the convention resolutions committee, and fifteen members of senate and house, Moses declared: “I am not speaking for the group which met with Mr. Garfield, but I have said constantly that there will be a resubmission plank.” It is understood that a majority of the other conferees took this stand, although many drys were among chose who expressed their views for Garfield's benefit. Will Confer Again The latter plans to confer with the same senators later in the week, and will submit a detailed report on all planks to the President before he leaves for Chicago. Garfield then will be in position to let the committee know Hoover’s views on prohibition and everything else. Garfield explained that his series of conferences were designed to obtain the sentiment of all factions of the party. The men he met Sunday are members of congress already elected to the resolutions committee, but who will be unable to speak for their states if congress sits through the convention. Drys and wets were present, and no definite decision was reached. Other controversial questions under discussion were planks on the bonus, the monetary problem, and the tariff. Garfield explained that he did not expect to hammer out any planks as the result of his conferences with Senator Borah, the old guard group, and other factions. "I shall not make up my mind as to what the prohibition plank, or any other plank shall be,” he said, "until we go into committee. I expect to be chairman, although I may not be elected." Resent Borah Power Tlie conference was held at the Congressional Country Club, with Moses as host at luncheon. Al- j though a friendly spirit was evi- j denced, it is known that the old i guard resents the fact that Gar- J field and Hoover have given so 1 much weight to Borah’s ideas on! prohibition. As regular workers,' they think their views ought to count for more than those of a party rebel, known as a champion of prohibition. In that light, Moses’ remark carries considerable significance. Senator Hiram Bingham <Rep., Conn.), Postmaster-General Walter F. Brown, Representative Bertrand Snell (Rep., N. Y., and Senator Dickinson (Rep., la.), sat in on the discussions. Others present were Marjority Leader Watson of Indiana, Senator Smoot (Rep.. Utah), Representative Fish of New York, Senator Hastings of Delaware, Senator Patterson of Missouri, Senator Glenn of Illinois, Senator Robinson of Indiana, Senator Kean of New Jersey, and Senator Herbert of Rhode Island.

NEAR-DIDTATOR ROLE VISIONED FOR PRESIDENT Wider Powers for Executive May Be Necessary, Says Owen D. Young. By United Pre • SOUTH BEND. Ind. June 6. Wider executive powers may be necessary for the President if America's economic depression is to be solved. Owen D. Young, often mentoined as a Democratic dark horse presidential possibility, believes. Young, in hts commencement ad-
dress at Notre Dame university Sunday, suggested that organization of the government was such that it could not cope adequately with the present economic crisis. “It iray be," said Young, “that we shall have to consider some method of putting extraordinary powers in the hands of the
■ v
Young
President in times like these. “Our democratic government has insisted on sharply delegated powers, with adequate checks and balances. It is quite explainable, therefore, that a government of powers widely distributed into carefully segregated and insulated compartments should function under normal conditions and should fail us altogether when the avalanche comes.” High protective tariffs were blamed for the genesis of the boom out of which the depression came. Young suggested that a fundamentally unbalanced condition arose wherein industry was able to pay its workers well, due to tariff protection, while farmers were forced to compete in a world market. Tariff Is Blamed “The living standards of our in- j dustrial population were lifted to a high level back of an impenetrable tariff wall,” he said. "The living standards of our agricultural population, which was subjected to a world competition, could not be maintained normally at an equal level. “So we alleviated the disparity and disguised our true situation temporarily by furnishing the farmer credit artificially through semigovernmental agencies.” This credit, Young said, speeded up industrial production and encouraged speculation. “But the day came when I,he farmer ultimately had to settle," said Young. “Then he stopped buying, industrial production decreased, unemployment began and we started the downward spiral. Must Help Farmer “Industrial standards can not be restored permanently unless we find | a way of bringing agricultural' standards permanently to an ap- j proximate level.” Specialization has played its part in making the crisis more severe, Young said. “The insistent cry for leadership.” he said, "and for central planning, which is arising on all sides, is the instinctive call of the masses for integrated responsibility and power in this highly specialized world of ours.” Mad speculation also was an important factor in the pyramiding of i values, w'hich ultimately toppled, | Young said. “The fact is that we no longer | sought high living standards from honest labor, but extravagances from dishonest gains. This, superimposed on an unbalanced economic base, started our avalanche. The trouble was, we could not stand prosperity.” i STAY MANN OUSTER Commissioners Continue to Delay Action. Fight of county commissioners to oust Charles W. Mann. Republican highway superintendent, again was shelved temporarily today after commissioners resumed dilatory tactics. Democratic Commissioners Dow W. Vorhies and Thomas Ellis repeatedly have delayed ouster proceedings in circuit court. Throung County Attorney Charles B. Clarke, they gained postponement of Mann’s appeal case, set for hearing today. Duties in another case were given by Clarke as his reason for want-: ing a continuance of the hearing by which Mann hopes to vindicate himself of charges brought by commissioners. In their attempt to replace Mann with a Democrat, commissioners I tried him in their court. Sitting as judges themselves, they found him guilty of neglect of duty and malfeasance in office.

June 6.—From the largest field in history, lowa voters today selected Republican and Democratic candidates for state and district offices at the primary election. Senator Smith W. Brookhart was fighting for renomination by the Republican party in the contest that attracted principal interest. Colleagues from congressional halls spoke in his favor in many sections of the state, in an effort to counteract charges of nepotism, party disloyalty, and neglect of duty made by Brookhart's five opponents—Henry Field, Glenn Haynes, Louis H. Cook, George Cosson and L. E. Eickelberg. In addition to the senatorial candidates, Republicans and Democrats will choose nominees for the Governorship and state portfolios. The vital issue of all candidates was reduction of governmental expenditures and lower taxes. Headed by Louis Murphy and former Senator Daniel F. Stcck, the Democrats leaned heavily toward the anti-prohibition movement. One Republican candidate for senator, Cook, also was wet.
PLOTS AGAINST LIFE OF DUCE Armed Anarchist Seized Before He Can Act. By l. iiited Pres* ROME, June 6.—A young anarchist, who carried on his chest a thin rubber pad filled with enough nitroglycerin to blow’ a dozen men to pieces, if he had been thrown down by police or soldiers, faced execution today for a plot against the life of Premier Benito Mussolini. The anarchist, Angelo Sbardellotto, planned the assassination at the ceremony on Janiculum hill Saturday. It was attended by Mussolini and members of the royal family. Queen Helene unveiled a monument to Anita Garibaldi. Police quoted Sbardellotto as saying he would have committed suicide whether or not his attempt against Mussolini had been successful. He was picked out by one of the detectives of the presidential squad. The would-be assassin was stationed at a spot where Mussolini would have passed within half an hour. The anarchist was quoted as saying that he hoped to obtain a pass to admit him to the Garibaldi ceremony, but that he did not get it, and could not pass through the cordons of troops which guarded the premier, the king and the queen.

HUNDER RELIEF PUSH OPENS IN SENATE TODAY Wagner Will Press Plan for Immediate Aid to Nation’s Needy. By Peripps-Htnrard Xeu-spaper Alliance WASHINGTON. June 6—A drive for enactment of emergency hunger relief legislation before the week is over begins today in the senate. Senator Robert F. Wagner <Dem, N. Y.i, will take steps to separate hunger relief from the other items , of the Democratic compromise unemployment bill, and secure immediate approval of such measure. He intends to offer amendments to his $375,000,000 hunger relief bill i now pending, to bring it in line with ! the $300,000,000 relief proposal I agreed upon in the compromise bill. The measure then could be called i up for passage at any time. Washington has been stirred i deeply within the last few days by 1 reports of dire need through the country. Senator Grenn (Rep., IIU presented the desperate plight of 600,000 persons in Chicago, to the senate manufacturers committee Saturday. Teachers Voice Plea The city’s relief funds have been exhausted and its food centers have been closed. A committee of school teachers from Chicago, with back salaries unpaid, and no salaries in sight for the future, appealed to the same committee Saturday for federal help of some kind, j A committee of mayors front 'seven large cities, representing the entire gathering of mayors in Detroit last week, will reach Washington Tuesday to ask help from tho government. They will confer with Republican and Democratic leaders of the house Tuesday. Anew appeal has been received from Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania. Arrival of veterans demanding bonus payments also has served to bring home to congressmen the changed temper of the unemployed. Last winter many legislators commented. after defeat of the La Fol-lette-Costigan unemployment relief bill, that the absence of any visible (protest through the country showed it was unnecessary. Bill Up Tuesday The senate banking and currency committee will meet Tuesday to consider the administration’s relief bill, offered by Senator Barbour on lines outlined by Secretary of the Treasury Mills last week. It increases the borrowing power of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation by $1,500,000,000, providing that, in addition to funds set aside for direct hunger relief loans to the state, and a small amount for agriculture, the remainder shall be loaned to states, cities, semi-public, and private corporations for construction of sclfj liquidating projects. It will be asked to approve either ■ this plan or that of Senator Wagner, for loans and $500,000,000 public I works, at an early date. The house will act on the larger Garner plan for public works construction and loans Tuesday, with passage apparently assured through the binding action of the Democratic caucus.
