After this investigation. he proposed to make whatever recommendations he deem- ed advisable. New Angle

GERMAN ELECTION
 CAMPAIGN ENDING
General Apathy of Voters Is
 Only Feature
- -

Berlin, May IA (UP)-Germany today entered the last week of d national election campaign with the only outstanding feature being in the general apathy of the voters.
 Meetings have been sparsely at tended and the populace apparently has turned a deaf ear to the politi- cal speeches. most of which were without any semblanCe of concrete issues. It has been one Of the most uninspiring campaigns in years.
 Two causes are given for this apathy:
 Hack of issues.
 2-Multitude of parties.
 There are so many parties. and the issues are so vague. that only the experts have been able to dis tinguish between the parties and the issues they represent The major ity of the public is puzzled by the conflicting claims. most of which have been based upon a protect fatherland" basis.
 Party headquarters were not dis CUllSOldte, HUN cNSl, ONcE tut EtllSldl apathy. They recalled there was a similar situation preceding the re- cent French elections and in that case there was d great vote cast The headquarters are confident the extent of the polling will surprise everyone.
 It was predicted this week would see life thrust into the campaign | The experts believed the leading parties would mobilize all of thei, available reserves and make the ! closing hours of the campaign in, teresting.
 Few incidents have marked the campaign. Yesterday police arrest ed 100 persons after minor clashes Most of them were left and righ, wing extremists and the arrest: were believed to have some sligh political significance.
