NEW RE|CHSTAG MAY
 GIVE H|NDENbURG AND
 V0N PAPEN DIFFICULTY

BERLIN, Aug, 31, The new German Reichstag was officially opened Tuesday by the senior mem Der of the cabinet, a white haired, 75 year-old, Communist lady. After the opening ceremony the Com munist leader began her denuncia- tion of President Paul von linden burg and Franz von Papen, for their illegality of attempting to rule Germany without parliamentary majority.
 Political observers forsee a short life for the present cabinet as Hin denburg has already given von Pap en the power of dissolving the cab inet whenever he finds it urgent.
 While the Reichstag was in ses- sion, demonstrators surged outside the cabinet building doors and it was only through the vigilance of police that a general riot was pre- vented.

MERCHANT PRINCE SAYS ANOTHER B|G GOLD
 STRIKE |S SOLUTION

What the world needs most right now is new Cripple Creek or a vast increase in gold production such as came from California in the '50s and sos and from Cripple Creek, Alaska and South Africa in the '90s, in the opinion of Gen. R. E. Wood, president of Sears Roebuck & Com pany,
 ''The world is concentrating it's hopes on gold and there is plenty of capital for legitimate gold min ing enterprises" he said. Tt was the gold of California and Nevada that saved us during and after the Civil War, and Cripple Creek, AL aska and South Africa brought the world out of the panic of the sos. About the same time the discovery of the cyanide process helped to in crease the yorld's gold production from about $8O,OOO,OOO to about $400, 100000 annually. What we need is a new Cripple Creek, and Colo rado should produce it."
