Berlin. May 3l.-(P)-Adolf Hitler's
National Socialists Tuesday turned
their backs on participation in the
German government until the verdict
of the people has been obtained by
general elections following dissolution
of the present Reichstag.
A spokesman for the Nazis informed
the Associated Press party leaders
were certain new elections would give
them a clear majority and in the
meantime they would have nothing to
do with stop-gap cabinet.
Meanwhile President Paul Won Hin
denburg asked Franz Won Papen. for
mer military attache at washington
and a member of the conservative
centrist party, to form a cabinet to
succeed the ministry Of DR.. Heinrich
Bruening, resigned.
Won Papen was instructed to con-
stitute a cabinet of national con-
centration" which would be expected
to last only until autumn. At that
time new elections doubtless would be
ordered.
The Reichstag building was bee
hive of activity. There were numer-
Gus party caucauses held after the va
rious party leaders had conferred
with President Won Hindenburg who
surprised the nation by personally
bringing about the downfall Of the
cabinet - a function ordinarily per-
formed by the Reichstag itself.
Nazi demonstrations were put on H.
front of the presidential palace while
the conferences were going on. Num-
erous Hitlerites massed about the
palace and shouted Hail Hitler"

there was a demonstration that as
sumed somewhat serious proportions
Police were stoned and retaliated with
their pistols, swounding a woman
Three policemen were injured and six
demonstrators arrested.

Fascism to power brought storm OF
protest from the Communists. The
general committee OF the party issueo
a communique declaring the Fascist
course of the coming government con-
stituted a menace to the Soviet
Union.

Hitler conferred with the president
for more than an hour Monday night
discussing pressing national PROB
lemc.
Many reasons were assigned for
the resignation Of the Bruening cab"
met, only short time after it had
received a fresh vote OF confidence
from the Reichstag. Chief among
them was the presidents impression.
that the Socialist Centrist coalition
of Or. Bruening no longer represented
the will of the people and his report

not support the government in case
Of an uprising
The novelty of the present situation
lies in the fact that the cabinet was
forced out by the president. while the
Reichstag usually has exercised tina:
prerogative.
