when and if the party came to power. ~ Its members were pledged to secrecy under penalty of death. Dissolution of the party came with suddenness and efficiency. In the early hours of this morning, police made surprise raids on party quarters all over the country. At the same time they began a series of raids on the homes of National Socialist leaders.
150 Reported Arrested
It was reported that by midmorning 150 men had been arrested and it was said that they would be sent to concentration camps. Several of the Nazi leaders tried to defend their party headquarters, it was reported, and were overpowered and arrested. An official statement said that the National Socialist or *“Hungarist” party property seized would be turned over to charity organizations. The Government explained its dissolution decree by saying that action was necessary because the party had repeatedly endangered public order. - The Government’s action was calculated to cause a European sensation because of the country’s key position in the new Cenr‘ral-Eastern European setup following the dismemberment of Czechoslovakia. Of even more immediate political Importance was the fact that, anticipating today’s action, Coloman Hubay, Hungarian Nazi leader, directly defied the Government in Parliament last night.
Bombing Sets Off Probe
Deputy Hubay said that if, as he believed, the Government was about to send all leading Nazis to concentration camps, his party could assume no responsibility for the country’s future. It was known that the Government’s ‘action, taken a few hours after this warning, was the result of an investigation into the bombing of a Jewish synagog Feb. 3. Fourteen persons were wounded when someone threw a hand grenade into the Central Synagog as the rabbi was pronouncing the closing: prayer. The crowd fled into the street in panic. As it reached the street, another hand grenade was thrown. Many persons connected this bombing with a Government announcement that it would back a Parliamentary bill ameliorating anti-Jewish laws. : The Government asserted that its investigation of the bombing showed that the bombers had received equipment and instructions from the “Green House,” the Budapest headqaurters of the Hur.garian Nationalist Socialist Party. Discussing the bombing last night, Deputy Hubay said that his party rejected such methods with revul- - sion. He described one of the alleged bombers, who, police said, was Tound to be a National Socialist with a long police record, as a scoundrel. Rome ‘Surprised’ At Hungary’s Action ROME, Feb. 24 (U. P.).—Political quarters in Rome were surprised today by: Hungary's decision to outlaw the National Socialist Party. These quarters said the’ decision “strangely contradicts” a telegram which Count Paul Teleki, Hungarian Premier, sent to Premier Mussolini in which he said there would be no changes either in the foreign or internal policy of the new government. Polish Students Riot Against Germany WARSAW, Poland, Feb. 24 (U. P.).—Thousands of Polish students rioted in the streets of Warsaw today in the largest anti-German demonstration since Poland and Germany signed a nonaggression agreement five years ago. More than 2000 students attempted to march on the German Embassy after mass meetings at four Warsaw universities and colleges. Speakers bitterly attacked Germany. Police reserves were summoned when the meetings broke up and the students began to march through the streets. A cordon was thrown around the Embassy. Firemen were summoned and the students were driven back with fire hoses. :P Police announced they had arrested 17 students.
Berlin Denies Magyar Party Was Related To Hitler's.
BERLIN, Feb. 2¢ (U. P). — Changes in income tax law under which the average middle-class German will pay approximately $40 a year more in income taxes are to be announced by the Government today, it was understood. Higher income brackets will be hit much harder, The new laws revoke certain tax exemptions and reductions, such as those allowed for instance in the case of the maidservant tax and the church tax. . Exact details of the changes not immediately available.
$40 More a Year
It was estimated, however, that the middle-class German with a wife and a child and a maidservant, who earns $1920 a year would pay about $40 a year additional in income tax and that in the instance of the higher brackets the increase would reach $400 to $800. These changes follow immediately upon a decree issued yesterday by Field Marshal Herman Wilhelm Gdering, dictator of the Four-Year Plan of Economic Self-Sufficiency, required all German Jews to surrender by March 7 all gold, platinum, silver, jewelry: and pearls in their possession. The valuables are to be surrendered to the public purchasing centers liquidating Jewish properties. It was announced that specific instructions would be issued later, regulating the valuation of and payment for surrendered - valuables.
Silent on-Hungary
Government quarters said today that the dissolution of the National Socialist Party in Hungary was a “purely Hungarian domestic affair.” Further comment was declined, except that it was added that the party had no connection with the Gernman Nazi Party, except that its program was similar, Other developments in Germany's orbit of interest included: 1. Announcement that the Nazi Government of Memel, under Lithuanian control, would not pay the customary courtesy call to the Lithuanian Government unless a 1935 courtmartial verdict against 84 Memel-German leaders was canceled. / : 2. Announcement that the Prince of Liechtenstein, the tiny Germanic principality, bordering between Austria and Switzerland, and for years under Swiss influence, would pay his first yisit to Fuehrer Hitler March 2. J 3. Evidence of deterioration of German-Czechoslovak relations, including warnings that development of anti-German opposition. in i would not be tolerated.

PARIS DEPUTIE BACK DALADIER;
Recognition of Franco to Be Proposed to French Cabinet Monday.
PARIS, Feb. 24 (U. P.).—Premier Daladier won a vote of confidcen
today on a question equivalent to| FH
Parliamentary approval of de jure recognition of Generalissimo Franco’s Government in Spain. By a vote of 323 to 261 the Chamber refused to debate the issue. Premier Daladier told the Chamber he will propose recognition of Gen. Franco to the Cabinet on
2Ionday. He said the action had been
advised by President Azana of Loyalist Spain. President Azana and his aids today made preparations to end the Third Spanish Republic. Records were being packed and other documents burned at the Spanish Embassy here, where Spain’s chief refugee took asylum after the fall of Barcelona. Senor Azana held a final conference today to decide on procedure for reLnquishing the Presidency. The announcement awaits the official notification by Great Britain
and France that they recognize the|j
Government of Generalissimo Franco. Senor Azana then will
hand his resignation to Diego Bar-|
rio Martinez, president of the Loyalist Parliament, Senor Barrio will summon members of Parliament who are in exile in Paris to a secret meeting. He will announce Senor Azana’s resignation and say there is no successor because he, Senor Barrio, next in line of succession, refuses to take over the office. The presidency thus will be extinct. Ae At Burgos today Senator Leon Berard, France’s special envoy to the Rebel Government, was expected to have a final conference today with Francisco Gomez Jordana, Rebel Foreign Minister, and then to return to France. It was expected that formal recognition of the nationalist government by France and Great Britain would follow. M. Berard conferred this morning with Sir Robert Hodgson, British special envoy, while French experts who acompanied him talked to Foreign Office experts.
British Try to Prevent
Coming of ‘March Crisis’
LONDON, Feb. 24 (U. P.).—British Government leaders in a succession of speeches are trying to anticipate an early hardening of the diplomatic situation, it was suggested today in diplomatic quarters. Prime Minister Chamberlain, Viscount Halifax, Foreign Secretary, and others who speak with the full weight of authority, have emphasized Great Britain’s solidarity with France. They have emphasized both the latent power of Great Britain itself and of the British Cqmmonwealth of Nations. They have emphasized the positive and apparently astonishing speed-up in British rearmament. They have warned other governments not to -disbelieve: their pronouncements. They quickly stepped on an Italian “report” that Mr. Chamberlain had made some sort of “proposal” to settle the French-Italian dispute—on terms that would have meant a victory for Italy. French Talk of Crisis
Particularly in French newspapers there has heen gossip of a so-called “March crisis,” based on the expectation that Premier Mussolini will enumerate, at a propitious time probably next month, the “natural aspirations” of Italy in the Mediterranean. It has been reported that Sig. Mussolini was calling up a limited but large number of selected Army reservists who are technicians. It has been rumored in France that Germany was calling up some men. But at the same time it was quite evident that in Nazi Germany and in Fascist Italy there was surprise, bewilderment and hot resentment at the speeches which British leaders have made. They did not seem to know just what was going on in British minds.
