REICH WILL FACE | NEW CRISIS SOON
Sweeping Financial Reform May Prove Chaotic

Berlin, Dec. P-The Reich. with d program for sweeping finan- cial reform promulgated by presi : dential decree, today faced d new crisis, in which there was a distinct threat of chaotic political develop ments within the next few weeks.
 The crisis itself may be prccipi- tatcd as soon as , p. m. tomorrow when the Reichstag reconvenes and some of the opposition to the Bruening government is allowed to give voice to it's indignation at re- newed invocation of the presidential dictatoral power.
 Attempt to Repeal Laws An attempt. will be made to re- peal the 25 laws contained in the Bruening financial program which, after months of formulation and parliamentary dickering. went yes terday to President Non Hinden- burg, who signed the program un- der the emergency clause of the Eeich's constitution.
 Chancellor Bruenng and mcm- bers of his ministry were represent tempt of the opposition would not succeed. Although the government majority has been greatly diminish ed by last weeks detection of the economic party, the cabinet, with continued adhesion of some small conservative elements still can out number it's opposition. It counts besides on an unwillingness of some of the opposition to take responsi- bility for repeal of the financial laws.
 Success in the attempt to repeal the laws would involve defeat and resignation of the government. with the threat ever present that the only majority combination possible if the Bruening ministry goes down would be that built around the fascist con- tingent in the Reichstag. A fascist cabinet, it is Contended, would all most certainly be viewed with dis favor abroad.
 May Use New Decree
 Rather than permit this develop ment Chancellor Bruening, it was believed possible today. might come armed with another presidential de- cree of dissolution of the Eeichstag and the establishment Of govern ment by presidential decree during the 90 days until new elections can be held
 The Bruening financial reform measures signed yesterday by the president are broad in their score They call for ruthless SiaShes of public expenditures. considerable re- ductions in state salaries beginning with a 20 per cent cut in that of the president. the halting of government contributions to various dolcs, and blocking of the upward trend Of taxes.

Theater Review
Lawrence J. and Julian Anhalt
 Present l.rEE GAngr III, IN-..


 Jachson ............... William Murray tBy Herald Reviewer) Thrills and mystery, excitement and tense drama pack every epi- sode Of "The Ghost Train,' the three act comedy melodrama presented in the Capitol theater this week by the New York players.
 For those who saw last weeks play in which Miss Isabel Jewell : took the part of a r. year old school girl her acting in 'The Ghost Train , will be a revelation. Her portrayal of mind crazed with one single obsession is vivid and startling. AL though she does not make her en- trance until late in the second act, she dominates the stage from that time on.
 The plot of the play is difficult to discuss without explaining some of the. mystery. Rum runners, narcotic smugglers and ghost train that fills the inhabitants of the locality with terror provide the materials with which the playwright weaves 1 nlS fabulous story.
 All the action takes place in the waiting room of the Clear Vale Junction on a branch line near Rockland, Me.
 Seven passengers find themselves stranded at the small station for the night and the station master refuses to stay with them because he fears the arrival of the ghost train. The passengers insist on hearing the story of the phantom train and the old station master tells how 20 years before an excursion train crashed off an open bridge just before it passed the junction. Frequently the people in the locality hear the ghost train rushing along at night, whistle screaming, brakes screeching, and the signal bell changing. The tale terrifies the women in the party and Miss Bourne. a spinster, seeks relief in d flask of brandy. She holes out in one, becomes intoxicated and re- mains blissfully unaware of every thing that takes place when the ghost train actually arrives
 Just what the train is. who drives it on it's mysterious mission and it's destination are mysteries that bafile :he audience until the very close Of the play when everything is cX- plaincd and becomes as clear as day. Playing opposite Miss Jewell this week is Franklin George as Teddie peakin. an irrepressible English
 aan. The supporting cast does ef- fectivc work with Edna Archer Crawford proving especially brilliant.
