BERLIN, December 3.-Gen. Kurt Won
Schleicher succeeded today in drawing
up virtually complete cabinet list, and
President Won Hindenburg affixed his
signature to the generals appointment
as chancellor of the Reich.
The President approved ministry in
which the portfolios of agriculture and
economics were, for the time being, left
blank.
In the resigned cabinet of Franz Won
Papen the minister of agriculture was
Baron Friedrich Edler Won Braun, and
the post Of economics was held by DR.
Hermann Warmbold. Apparently these
two men could not agree on a common
policy, thus making them unavailable,
as Chancellor Won Schleicher was de-
termined to have complete unity. Nego-
tlations Will continue tomorrow.

by the President: Chancellor, Kurt Won
Schleicher; foreign affairs, Baron Kon-

aiSo Helch's commissioner of voluntary

The reappointment of Baron Won
Neurath as foreign minister was taken
as an indication of an unbroken policy
SO far as international relations are
concerned.
Gen. Won Schleicher was requested
Yesterday by the President to head the
new cabinet. When the aged Won
Hlndenburg signed the appointment
To-Day ne put an end to political I'M
certainty which existed for two weeks
IolIoWlng the resignation of Franz Won
Papen. WA
Wields Greater Power.
Inc new chancellor, who was looked
upon as the power behind the scenes
curing tne Won Papen regime, will WELD
more power than any recent head of
tne Helcn. In addition to being first
minister OF the cabinet, he will retain
nus post as minister of defense, which
means control of the army. He also
VIII serve as. federal commissioner over
the State of Prussia, and thus will
command the powerful Prussian police.
Aooif Hitler, leader of the National
socialists, has announced that his
movement will not tolerate Won
ScnIelcner. But the new chancellor was
appointed to be responsible not to the
Relchstag. Instead his responsibility Is
TO the President himself. Thus he will
pe AIMED with a decree dissolving the
Legislature, which he may promulgate
as soon as he desires after the recon-
Venlrsg OF the Reichstag next Tuesday.
Ths chancellor created one new post
-feosral general commissioner for pro-

Guer.ther Gereke, a prominent eco
nomi, expert.
Waiting for Reichstag.
Ge1. Won Schleicher, it was stated
autht relatively, will not announce the
governments program until the Reich
stag g ready fer business. With the
ReiclAstag opening only three days off,
ne b!Sdly can be expected to come to
terms fully with political parties. there
fore there was an inclination in most
political camps to comply with his wish
and adjourn at least until after Christ
mas.
Under this program, the Reichstag
would organize Tuesday, elect officers
Wednesday and adjourn without debat-
ing the anticipated no-confidence mo-
ton of the Communists.
The National Socialists In a COM
munique tonight repeated prophecies
that Hitler would be made chancellor
before long.
