mn —— - PURRED Into action by President Hoover's warning that government credit was endangered and foreign raids on the dollar were imminent, the senate in a night session passed its tax Rill designed to bring in a total revenue of $1,121,000000, T h e Chief Executive un- expectedly appeared in person before the senate, for the first time in his adminis tration, and read a statement of the seri- condition. He urged the inclusion of a sales tax, and restat- ed his position re garding relief measures and his op- position to the huge public works pro- gram fostered by Speaker Garner. There was no chance for the sales tax, most of the Democratic senators having signed an agreement to defeat ft. It was rejected by the finance committee, 12 to 8, and just the bill was voted on by the senate it ous President Hoover before was defeated by that body by a vole of 53 to 27.

Garner defended the measure and reminded the committee of Mr. Hoover's Indorsement of a $2.000,000,000 advance public works recommended by the conference of governors in 1928.

This was really a considerable trinmph for Hitler's Nazis but they de cided to permit a stop- gap government to function until autumn, when It Is expected there will be a general election in which they will have a chance to make good thelr claim of controlling the reichstag. The aged president selected for tem- porary chancellor Lieut. Col. Franz von Papen, a man of whom the United States has heard little since 1015. At that time he was military attache of the German embassy In Washington and became Involved with Karl Boy Ed, naval attache, in plots that vio. lated neutrality. Both of them were dismissed by the American government for “improper activities” Returning to Germany, Von Papen became a gen ern] staff officer. He Is a Catholle Centrist, as is Bruening, and is editor and principal owner of the Catholie organ Germania. Von Papen's government, largely rightist, 1s ealled a “feudal” cabinet by Herr Bruening the Berlin press because It is dominat- ed by members of the old German nobility. The new chancellor Is ex- pected to be a stern ruler for he has often demanded a “national dictator ship freed of parllamentary trim- mings.” He is known to favor a Franco-German union against Russia. E. HUFF, head of the Farmers' Na- 4+ tinal Grain corporation, recent- ily filed charges against the Chicago Board of Trade because it denled mem- bership to the corporation.

Mr. Scott, who was born in Eng- land, is one of the state's most eminent lawyers and also is widely known in Ro man Catholic eirclea He was awarded the Laetare medal by the University of Notre Dame in 1918 and was created a Knight of St. Gregory by the pope in 1920 for work during the World war. It is not likely the Republican con- vention will last more than five days, and nominations probably will be made on Friday night. The platform will be submitted on Thursday and there may be a day of open debate on prohibition and some other contro- versinl questions Democratic managers also are now hopeful that their convention will be short, for they naturally wish it to have an appearance of harmony that would be ruined by a deadlock. Franklin D. Roosevelt probably will start in with more than a majority both of dele gates and of states. At this writing he has 410 pledged votes from 27 states and territories. His camp claims he will have on the first bale lot 008 delegates to 450 for all others, And he believes a few ballots will bring over enough votes to give him the 770 required for nomination un. der the two-thirds rule. Of course there will be a recurrence of the at- tempts to abrogate that anclent rule, Joseph Scott tutor of King Carol of Rumania, has resigned as premier and may be succeeded by Nicholas Titulescu, now minister to London, Which means that the semi-dictatorship of the coun- try has been found a failure, The resignation of the government was the result of financlal difficulties. Rumania is broke and the treasury is empty. VV ASHINGTON'S police force had a problem when the hitch-hiking army of 1,000 war veterans reached the capital city to present their de- mand for Immediate payment of the sol- dlers’ bonus.
