BERLIN. August 31-The Junker
chancellor, Franz Won Papen, returned
to the capital today with blanket
death warrant for the new Reichstag in
his pocket, and permission to use the
document the minute the governments
economic program is threatened
The warrant was in the form of an
emergency decree signed without date
by President Paul Won Hinderburg even
before the infant Parliament officially
had seen the light of day.
The chancellor came back from East
Prussia to confer with the cabinet on
his economic program, which contem-
plates risking more than $500,000, 900 in
tax refunds on the imminent return of
prosperity. Employment would be fur
nished nearly 100000 If the plan were
to be utilized completely.
Audience Asked.
In an effort to stave off dissolution
and neutralize the chancellor's talks
with the President at the latter's
country residence near Neudeck, East
Prussia, the newly-elected Nazi presi-
dent of the Reichstag, Hermann Will
helm Goering. telegraphed for an i'm
mediate audience with the Chief EXecu-
tive.
The President has not yet replied
Herr Goering adjourned the Reichs-
tag, organized yesterday, until it should
be called which probably will be next
week, possibly Saturday. The new
Prussian Landtag. which also met yes
terday, was adjourned until Septem-
ber 20.
Indications in parliamentary circles
today seem to point to at least little
longer life for the Reichstag, the news
paper Zwoelfuhrblatt intimating the
Nazis and CentriSts were unwilling to
give Won Papen a chance to apply his
dissolution order Immediately.
If this were correct, an adjournment
probably would follow the chancellor'S
keynote speech at the next session. Ad-
journment would, in this case, be spon-
sored by the NazS and Centrists to
avoid non-confidence vote. Adolf Hit
ler, the Nazi leader. planned to meet
formed Chancellor Heinrich Bruening
and other Centrist leaders again today.
Hindenburg Control Seen.
Political circles profesSed to see in
President Won Hindenburg's refusal to
see the Presidium of the ReichStag un-
til next week a further studied gesture
that the President and the cabinet are
running the country, and that others
must wait until the Chief Executive mas
time for them.
Herr Goering had closed yesterdays
session of the Reichstag with pane,
gyric on parliamentariSm, which seemed
III ri, olI from NaZl
whose party heretofore had damned
Parliament.
II assert before the entire German
people," the new president of the Reich
stag had said, that today's session as
well as the election of the presidium
clearly demonstrated that the Reich
stag has big nationalist working ma
jority and therefore no emergency ex-
ists.''
The chief executives reply to the
presidium's impatient request for an I'M
mediate audience, therefore, can only
be interpreted as demonstrating his
doubt as to whether Herr Goering's as
sertions are 100 per cent in accord witt
the facts.
Newspaper Suspended.
The cial-Democratic organ,
waerts, was suspended for three
today for describing Won Papen's
gram as a violation of the constitution.
This was regarded as tantamount to per-
sonal libel against the chancellor.
The Nazi members Of the Reichstag
today sent to the five Nazi followers
under death sentence at Beuthen for
political Staying message bidding
them be of good cheer. I'VE shan't rest
until the fight for your lives has been
won" the message concluded.
Meantime the Reichstag building
hummed with unaccustomed activity.
The committees on foreign affairs, the
budget, and on safeguarding parlia-
mentary rights were all in session and
little groups sauntered through the
lobbies, every man his own prophet OF
the future.
Gen. Kurt Won Scnleicher, sometimes
called the most powerful figure in the
Won Papen cabinet, returned today
from a visit to President Won Hinden-
f, burg at Neudeck and went Immediately
TO see his doctor.
1t was disclosed that he has gall
bladder ailment which will necesSitate
| his taking the cure and may keep him
| away from Berlin for several weeks.
