BERLIN, December 6 (R).-The DO
sition of Chancellor Heinrich Bruening,
whose drastic financial program has
been declared law by presidential de-
cree, but still must face censure of ap-
proval in the Reichstag. was materially
improved last night by action of the
Social Democratic party.
This group has been considered on
the chancelloris side heretofore, but
at a party meeting last night made its
position definite-that it would vote
against all motions to revoke the presi-
DENTAL decree and also against all nom
confidence motions.
The new financial program was ex-
pected to be put to a vote in the
Reichstag today as a result of Bruen-
ings demand that the debate be cut
short.
He prevailed upon the Council of
Elders. which regulates the order of
business In the House, to terminate the
discussion.
The debate was not halted immedi-
etely, however, and there came an
angry fiare-up when Fritz Kleiner, the
s--vssoasiist, renewed the attack on the
governments policy IN Poland.

BERLIN, December 8 R.-
Chancellor Bruening today obtained
q smashing vote of confidence, a
Nationalist and Communist motion
to revoke his emergency financial
decree being defeated.
BY EDGAR ANSEL MOWRER.
~ Radio to The Star.
BERLIN. Germany December g.
Only the thin red line" of lab Social
Democratic deputies stands between Q
temporary housekeeping of Germany's
muddled finances and a virtual state Of
bankruptcy.
When, some time this evening, the
final vote is taken on the financial bills
Of Chancellor Heinrich Bruening, which
for time win balance the budget, it viii
be seen whether enough Germans have
awakened from their long pipe dream OF
ignoring arithmetic to sense of the
realities to enable the so-called moder-
ate parties which back President Paul
Won Hindenburg and Chancellor Bruen-
ing to permit legal solution of the
more pressing difficulties.
For there is no question that with
out speedy action the German state is
really bankrupt.
Up to Social Democrats.
The Bruening cabinet enjoys the re-
liable support of only about 140 of a
total Of SIT Deputies. The opposition
can count on about $50. A certain num-
Der are doubtful. The real decision lies
with the 143 Social Democrats, who
apparently have decided to support the
cabinet. II they do this, a small, ma
5ority for Herr Bruening seems assured.
The Reich win have a couple of months
breathing spell until Parliament meets
sgain sometime about the LIST of Feb
Iuary.
Now the Social Democrats bear a
large share Of the responsibility for the
financial ruin of Germany. It was they
who largely eucouraged--ir fact. in
sisted 0n-the vast spending policy
which has endangered the budget and
with. it the republic itself.
They insisted on loans 1Iom the ma
tional government to the Unemployment
Insurance Institute even when it ap-
peared certain that such loans would

ing Of officials salaries, measure which
costs the national budget about $780,
O00, 900 annually. Both Of these meas
ures were taken in the Inflated Autumn
of 1927, against the sharp criticism of
s. Parker Gilbert, agent general for
separations.
Realize Game Is Up.
But today the Socialists realize that
the game is up-it is a question not
only of deciding whether Germany shall
be country of state or privately-owned
public utilities, but Of saving the middle
class republic or handing 1t over to a
group Of Nationalist and Fascists who
seem to desire a despotism along Italian
lines. Therefore the Socialists stand
for Herr Bruening.
But until the vote is taken this eve
ming the question Is still IN suspense
For Herr Bruening's policy Is itself anti
socialistic, that Is, strongly for private
capitalism. Yet, while Herr Bruening
respects the trade unions, the National
Socialists and their Nationalist friends
desire the extinction of all independent
organized labor. Therefore, to the So
eialists Herr Bruening represents the
lesser Of evils.

MEXICO CITY, December 6.-The
Monies de Oca-Lamont agreement ar
ranging eventual liquidation of the
Mexican foreign debt was subjected to
sharp attack in the Senate last night.
Senior Monies de Oca. secretary CT the
treasury, was severely criticized.
The session ended with approval of
a motion to summon the finance min
lister before the Senate to explain his
policy, which one Senator termed to be
in open rebellion to his obligations to
Congress.
Isaac Diaz de Leon. Senator from
Aguas Calientes, led the attack on the
debt agreement, declaring it would be
shameful on Mexico's part to bind her
self by this pact to keep her hands off
her own customs receipts until an
amount sufficient to make the debt pay
ment is collected each year.

Claquer Of Vienna
Gets 2 Hot Dogs
For Nights Work

VIENNA (P.-Opera singers and &C
tors who buy applause in Vienna must
provide a minimum wage Of two hot
dogs with mustard for each Of the hired
claquers.
This Is the demand Of the newest
thing In trade unions. formed by men
who nightly sEree to 60 to theaters and
applaud vociferously on signal OF a
leader. In addition to the eats, they
must have beer, free seats and free
checking of hats and coats at the
wardrobe.
For higher grades of applause, such
as that which brings the singer or actor
in front of the curtain to bow and ex-
press his thanks for the wonderful re-
ception," a wage as high as three pairs
Of frankfurters and seidel Of beer
must be paid.
The master Of the claque is the only
one paid In money. He distributes the
tickets and after all the unionists in
good standing have been supplied dis
poses Of any balance to outsiders at a
fraction Of the regular theater rate with
the understanding that these "supes" OF
the audience join In the applause.
The claque master scatters his forces.
He puts one group in the gallery, an
other in the balcony and the best
dressed ones IN the pit. He signals
each group when to applaud.
Sometimes he calls On the whole force
and then, like well trained orchestra
crashing into a fortiSsino passage,

THREE MEN FACING
PENALTY OF DEATH
Trio Added to List Convicted
of Murder in Bank
HOld-up.
BY the Associated Press.

- EADS, Colo, April 11.-Convicted Of
the murder of a deputy sheriff during
their attempted escape following the
robbery, March IA, Of the Manter, Kans.,
State Bank, three men today faced a
probable trip to the State prison death
house, where three other bank robbers,
similarly arrested and convicted, already
await death by hanging.
Arrest and trial of the Sextet was q
demonstration OF justice, executed in
the old western manner with the aid OF
hundreds Of volunteer poSsemen, COM
bined with use Of airplanes, automobiles
and other new developments Of
criminology.
Cornered in q shack on the Kansas
prairie, the Manter robbers, Claude
Ray, Andrew Halliday and John Walker,
gave themselves up two days after the
1ooting of the bank. Following their
arrest they admitted staying Carol A.
Hickman. Eads deputy sheriff, who en-
gagged them in q gun battle when their
flight carried them into Colorado.
Yesterday q District Court jury
found the trio guilty Of the murder Of
the officer and recommended the death
penalty. Sentence was not passed pend
ing expiration of the usual To-day
period allowed for appeal.
The calling out Of the poSSemen, who
trailed the Manter robbers through the
rough Arroyo County of the Kansas
Colorado State line, was an outgrowth
Of pursuit plans perfected following the
robbery, nearly two years ago. of a
Lamar, Colo, bank. The Lamar bandits
escaped after a several-day chase. Dur.
ing the robbery Of the bank and In
subsequent pursuit four men were
slain.
Months later officers succeeded in
arresting three men for the crime.
These three, Ralph Fleagle, George
Asher and Howard L. Royston, are un-
der sentence to hang.
Jake Fleagle, another alleged mem
Der of the Lamar robber gang still is
being sought.
Justice in the case Of the Manter
robbers moved with a swiftness COM
parable to the hastily made laws OF
the old time vigilance committee. Only
two days we're consumed in the selection
Of the jury and pleas of defense and
prosecution.
The convicted men expressed salts
faction with their trial, one of the
fastest for major crime in Colorado
legal history.
