BRUENING RETURNS
FOR HITLER PARLEYS
Coalition Of Centrists and Nazis
May Result From Con-
ferences.

BERLIN, April 30 Chancellor
Bruening returned today from Geneva
and attacked the problem of Adol:
Hitler's opposition, which is within
striking distance of the mastery of
Prussia.
His homecoming brought the begin
ming Of intensive political conferences.
The Centrist leaders, some of whom
favor a coalition with the Hitlerites
to form a new Prussian government,
have refrained from negotiations in his
absence.
Informed commentators declare a
Nazi-Centrist coalition is possible only
If an understanding is reached by
Bruening and Hitler on the foreign
policy. The Centrist National Com
mittee, which met in Berlin today and
will meet again tomorrow, is expected
to define the terms on which the Gen.
ter might be willing to join with the
NaZis.
DR.. Bruening also faced the problem
of proposal to create jobs through
an internal loan of more than sea-
100000. All these issues must be set

DRY TEST FAVORED
In BAY STATE G. O. P.
Dissatisfaction With Amendment
Cited at Session-Confdence
in President Voted.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, April 30.-A recommenda.
tion for a referendum on prohibition
was presented by a preliminary Reso-
lutions Committee today at a general
meeting Of Massachusetts Republicans
in Faneuil Hall.
The meeting was called by the Re-
publican Club of Massachusetts, and
delegates from all accredited party
clubs throughout the State were at the
conference.
The resolution said:
I'VE believe that the mandate of the
voters of Massachusetts twice expressed
on the prohibition question should be
carried out. Evidences of dissatisfac-
ton with the eighteenth amendment
are so general as to render imperative
the submission by Congress Of its repeal
or modification to State conventions OF
delegates elected for that purpose at the
earliest possible moment. This method
provides a referendum to the people"
Other sections of the committee re-
port Of resolutions voiced confidence in
President Hoover, approved the debt
moratorium, protective tariff, reduc-
tion of Federal, State and municipal
expenses and urged the creation of q
national economic council to work
against future business depressions.

another ballot is taken q fortnight
later, when the individual who OBJ
tains plurality Of votes Is elected.
Practices Followed.
When an election is hotly contested
not more than so per cent of the can
didates are elected on the first ballot.
For the second ballot, various combi-
nations and alliances are made. BY
agreements between affiliated parties,
candidates are withdrawn so as to give
the best chance to the man who is
more likely to win. For instance, If
in a certain district there are three
candidates representing the Radical
Left, the Social and Radical Left and
the Left Republicans on one side and
a powerful Socialist or Radical Social
ist on the other, two of the candi-
dates of the Right are withdrawn,
leaving clear field to the strongest
to defeat the candidate of the Left.
These arrangements are generally made
between the leaders in Paris without
regard to the interests of the party
itself. The man with the best per-
sonal chances Is allowed to run and is
supported by the other two.
The tendency Of the electorate can
be easily determined after the first
results of the elections in Paris, In
Normandy and in the industrial dis
tricts Of Turcoing and Roubaix are
known. II in these districts the can
didates of the Right obtain a major
ity, it Is almost certain that the rest
of France will vote the same way on
the second ballot.

ARMY TRANSPORTS
RETENTION IS SEEN
Hope Based on Refusal of
House to End Services as.
Economy Step.

The action of the House In refusing
to abolish the Army, Navy and Panama
transport services during consideration
of the economy bill, gave War De-
partment officials cause to believe that
the Senate also would take the view
that these services, instead Of being a
drain on the Government, are actually
operated at considerable saving.
This saving, as reflected in the Army
transport service alone, War Depart
ment officials said yesterday, approx
mates $40,000,000 In the last 25 years,
exclusive Of the World War period In
1881, based on cost for similar service
estimated by the shipping interests
themselves, the saving was said to have
been about 100000 Thus, If the
service is abolished this year, an addi-
over the estimates for 1888 would have
to be made.
Costs Are Compared.
It cost the Government, last year
S3,636,395 to maintain and operate the
Army transports, compared with an es-
innate of $5,891, ,702 to duplicate the
service by commercial interests To
this, War Department officials pointed
out, should be added $346,4 ,408 for the
continuing expenses at outportS which
commercial interests would have to
meet and which Is included in the op-
Grating expenses by the Government
Each War Secretary since 1908 has
called attention in his annual report
to the savings and economy of operat-
ing the Army transports as compared
with the lowest commercial rates.
AnnfhaY- n
port services are abolished, is the dis
position that would be made Of the
wharves and other dock facilities, val
ued at millions of dollars, in New York
San Francisco, Manila and other ports
Certainly, at Manila, War Department
officials say, these port facilities are an
important part of the defense Of the
islands.
Enlisted Men a Problem.
Aside from the comparative costs Of
Government and commercial service
abolishment of the Army transports
would work out to the decided disad-
vantage of the enlisted men. On COM
mercial lines, 1t was said, the only ac-
commodation provided for enlisted mer
is as steerage passengers. On Pacific
lines that would mean that Uncle Sans
Soiolels "oul0 Dc SloSoAnou "A'A f>o4
atics.
Provisions for medical care, sc
scrupulously guarded on all Army trans
ports, would be an additional expense
to commercial lines. These are only o
few Of the arguments put up by Army
officials in urging retention of the
transport services, arguments which
they hope will prevail also in the Sen
ate. -
A careful analysis Of comparative
costs in a recent voyage of the new
transport Republic from San Francisco
to Manila and return, officials said, rep
resented saving of 100000 as COM
pared with commercial rates.
