BAVARIA INSISTS
ON SECRET SESSIONS
FOR BERLIN PARLEYS

Berlin, oct. - GEy \. ?D-Ravaria
carried her defiance of tho central
government and her asipd fedora ted
states TO a successful conclusion to-
day. when she succeeded in defeating
plan engineered by the Socialists
which aimed to have tOday's session
of the RCiChSrat. or federal council
open to the public and its proceed
inSS made public record. The
meeting of the Reichsrat was called
to consider the strained relations
between Bavaria and the central
government
Dr. Won Prcgor. the Bavarian en-
voy in Berlin, who represented his
government in the absence of Prem
Ter Won kniling, informed Chancellor
StreSemann that Bavaria did not pro-
pose to have the issue discussed in
open sitting. as she did not consider
herself as occupying the prisoners
dock. and must therefore insist that
the RcichSrat discuss the matter in
executive council. as originally con-
templated: otherwise. he informed
the chancellor, Bavaria would decline
to participate in the discussion and
would also refuse to be represented
indirectly
After hurried parleys with the
heads Of the federated states. DR..
StrcSemann dcvidcd to convoke Il
special secret conference of the visit
ing prCmiers. eliminating about fifty
members of the EciChsrat. who were
anything but elated over the Surren-
der to Won Prcger, especially as
majority of them We're pledged in OPP
position to Dr.. Won kahr's regime
and favored the Socialists plan to
have the impending debate open to
public The chancellor summoned
the premiers and delegates to the
free cities of Hamburg. Bremen. and
Lubbock to the chancellery, where
the conference was still in progress
at Gig t o'clock tonight.
Bavaria is the only federated state
which is not represented by its
premier. Won Knilling. with Ger
tain show of indifference. having en-
powered his Berlin envoy to speak
for him.
That today's conversations between
the central government and the fed
Grated states on the issue Of inter
prctinG constitutional state rights
will eliminate in a compromise is
generally accepted in political cir
clcs. Bavaria is obdurate on the
question of her rights. and the pres
