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

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

committee, 12 to 8, and just

EINRICH BRUENING chancellor
of Germany, and his cabinet were
forced to resign by Presidest Von
Hindenburg because the latter did not
agree with their pro
gram to save the coun
try from further finan-
cial collapse and to
provide work for the
unemployed. 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. In a com-
munication to the Department of Agri
culture Huff alleged the board was
violating the grain futures law. Sec-
retary Hyde took up the matter and
announced that the grain futures com-
mission would Investigate the

ERBERT HOOVER having ex-
pressed a desire to be placed in
pomination by a man from California,
the grateful job has been given to
Joseph Scott of Los
Angeles. 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,
