FACING DISMISSAL
Interior Department Slash
Imminent as Wilbur Pro-
tests to Garner.

With weather eye toward the House
on its omnibus bill progress, Interior
Department officials today were pre-
pairing themselves for what looked to be
the inevitable-the discharging of 4,093
of its 1898 employees in Washington
and in the field as the result of Con-
greSs approving the departments 1893
supply measure calling for appropria-
tions of 40 per cent under the current
fiscal years operation costs.
Only the substitution of the plan call
ing for furloughing workers and the
adoption of President Hoover's pro-
posal to permit the interchange of ap-
preparations within a department or
agency up to Is per cent in place of
the straight salary reduction of IL per
cent will spare the ak cutting job in
the Interior Department.
Wilbur Again Attacks Action.
On the eve of the House taking UP
the omnibus measure, Secretary Wilbur
again gave voice against what he termed
the act of practically "diSmantling of
of the ship" when the House approved
the Senates straight. 10 per cent cut
in the Interior Departments supply bill
regardless of the wish of a head of a
without calling for confer
ence, or without considering any of the
details"
The Interior Department bill re-
ceived the approval of Congress last
week. This vast agency must get along
the best it can after July /, with $45.-
398,672 less than its appropriations OF
$75,680,598 for the present fiscal year.
Its treasury has been hacked to the
very bone, causing Secretary Wilbur to
shout out in letter to Speaker John
N. Garner today this is bad budgeting
and bad legislative practice"
In event Congress fails to approve
the two major reyisions in the omnibus
bill, department officials said there was
nothing left for them to do but to make
a wholesale reduction in their person.

H|TLER|TES SWEEP
GERMAN ELECTION
Win in Four of Five States.
Three Deaths Reported.
Hundreds Arrested.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN. April 25.-Adolf Hitler's
National Socialists are the strongest
political party today in four of the five
German states which participated in
yesterdays Diet elections, but they still
lack clear road to control of any of
them.
Wilhelm Kube, leader of the National
Socialist faction in the Prussian Diet,
demanded today, however, that the
Prussian Diet resign Immediately. 'Dr
Braun's successor must be a National
Socialist" he said, land Adolf Hitler
will choose him!"
The election, which followed two
presidential elections in which Hitler's
Fascist legions fought futilely to place
him at the head of the Reich. resulted
in three deaths, many other casualties
and hundreds arrests.
Only at Bavaria did the Hitlerites
run slightly behind.
In Prussia, where the fight was most
bitter because of the theory that
whoever controls Prussia controls the
Reich" the Hitlerite forces garnered
in l62 seats, against, the 8 they held
heretofore.
Braun Likely to Resign.
The coalition which makes up the
present government also secured 162
seats. The consensus today was that
Premier Otto Braun of Prussia and
his government would probably resign,
but that he would be likely to con-
tinue to hold office, while a struggle
took place over the formation of a
new workable layout.
The National Socialists, with four
minor opposition parties, command
only 203 of the $50 seats in the Prus-
sion Diet. They could form a govern
ment only if the 81 members of the
Centrist party, which is that of Chan
cellor Heinrich Bruening, were to sup
port them.
The rule is that the present govern
ment holds over, in any event, until a
new one is formed with the support of
81 per cent of the Diet.
Communists Gain Nine Seats.
The only other party in Prussia to
make gain was the Communist, which

MASS|E DEFENSE
ATTACKED AGAIN
Prosecution Closes Case To-
day With Testimony of
Third AIieniSt.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
HONOLULU, April 25.-The inSan-
ity plea Of Lieut.. Thomas H. Massie, on
trial with three others for the Staying
Of a native, faced a final attack today
by another expert in the workings of
the human mind.
To the testimony of two physicians
that Massie was not insane when he
slew Joseph Kahahawai, whom he was
convinced criminally attacked Mrs.
Massie, the prosecution was prepared
to add the testimony of a third-Dr.
Joseph Cation, Stanford University
psychiatrist.
DR.. Cation was to take the witness
stand to stress again to the jury of
mixed racial origin the prosecutions
contention the Hawaiian was slain by
a sane man, killing with revenge in his
heart. The defense contends the
United States naval officer became
temporarily insane while trying to OBJ
tain a confession that would restore
his wife's good name.
States Last Witness.
DR.. Cation is the last witness by
which Public Prosecutor John c. Kelley
hopes to send Massie, his society ma
tron mother-in-law, Mrs. Granville
Fortescue, and two Navy enlisted men,
Albert o. Jones and E. j. Lord, to
prison.
The psychiatrist was brought here
from the mainland last week and court
was adjourned Saturday to permit him
to complete his study of the case
Yesterday he submitted long report
to Kelley. Its contents were not re-
vealed, but it was learned DR.. Cation
agreed with Drs. Paul Bowers and Rob-
ert Faus, the physicians who testified
Friday, that Massie was sane when he
fired the shot that killed Kahahawai.
With the defense resting upon Mas
sizes plea of temporary insanity, Kelley
has concentrated upon trying to con-
vince the jury that he was not insane,
for under Hawaiian law, If Massie is in
nocent by reason of insanity, then all of
the defendants are innocent.
The defense, headed by 75-year-old
Clarence Darrow. produced two expert
witnesses who testified Massie was men,
tally deranged.
Jury to Get Case Soon.
The State hoped to complete its re-
buttal with DR.. Cations testimony. and
attorneys believed the case would reach
the jury not later than tomorrow.
Opposing counsel worked Sunday on
the instructions which they will ask the
judge to give the jury. From these
Judge Charles S. Davis will select the
orders by which the jury is to be guided
in reaching its verdict.
The psychiatrist testimony introduced
at the trial is being informally criti-
cized by physicians attending the an
nual meeting of the Hawaii Medical
Society. They look with disfavor upon
the fact the opposing sides were able to
obtain alienists from more than 1000
miles away who viewed the case the
same as those who employed them.

WINE RATIONS HALTED
IN POISONING PROBE
Action Taken in Havre, France,
After 800 Sailors Become Ill
in Three Months.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HAVRE. France. April 25. - Health
authorities here today ordered all ships
on which they suspected there might
be poisoned wine, such as is believed to
have been responsible for the illness
of about 800 sailors during the last
three months, to abondon the use of
the wine.
An investigation into the poisoning
was begun last Saturday by Havre po-
lice. They advanced the theory it was
caused either by poison used to treat
the vineyards or to reduce the acidity
in the wine.
Large quantities of the wine already
had been landed from coast-wise ships,
but some, without radios, were feared
to be still issuing the wine rations.
AS far as was known no transatlantic
liners had any of the poisoned wine
aboard, but it was confined to coast
wise, cross Channel and local fishing
boats
