BRUENING CABINET In
DICTATORSHIP THREAT
(WireLess BIZ Iapreeorv(

BERLIN, June 26.-The Bruening
cabinet decided to withdraw its pro-
posals for covering the budget def
icit, substituting entirely new pro-
posals, including an increase in the
income tax by a two per cent levy
on officials, and increased taxation
or alcohol consumed at licensed
premises. The cabinet is reported
to be determined to carry through
the new proposals with the dicta-
torship paragraph of the constitu-
ton if necessary. A Peoples Party
ultimatum rejects the levy under all
circumstances, threatening to with
draw its member, Curtius, the For.
eign Minister, from the cabinet. The
new finance minister, the Democrat
Dietrich adopted several socialist
proposals in order to secure socialist
support. The outlook is not clear.
The Reichstag yesterday noon
adopted reactionary amnesty, re-
leasing all fascist Feline murderers
with counterweight of only a few
Communists. The amnesty will prob
ably be ineffective, however, as it
was unable to get two-thirds ma
jority.
The Communist motion to remove
the prohibition of the Red Front
Fighters League was rejected by a
united front from the socialists to
fascists.
