had no desire to hold the chief exec

suggestion for dictatorship and then
refused to accept the presidency. to
which he was elected by the Diet. Al
though not holding the nominal exec

held a practically supreme direction OF
affairs and selected NJ. Bartel, whose
cabinet resigned yesterday. to be pre-
mier. The marshal took the post of
war minister in the cabinet and took
over supreme command OF the army
Pilsudski is 60.
During the recent controversy be
tween the cabinet and the Diet over
budgetary matters. the marshal did
not take any public share. Apparent
