VOn Papen Has Agreed With Hitler
(Continued from Page 1)

The government ban will be lifted on Hitler's brown shirt army, dissolved by the reich gov ernment at the insistence of Prus- sian officials later defeated by the Nazis in the Prussian diet cleo tions;
 Press censorship and the ban on Nazi demonstrations will be re- pealed, giving Hitler a. free hand with election propaganda for which he has become famous.
 Hitler was understood to believe that election could not be delayed beyond September and that he could tolerate the von Papen min istry as a means toward gaining the power toward which the Nazis have climbed steadily since the election of September, 1880.
 Won Papen, German military attachc at Washington during the World war, was expelled from the United States with the late Cap tain Karl Boy-Ed, naval attachc, for improper activities in naval and military affairs. He was com 1nissioned by President von Hin denburg to form a bureaucratic national concentration" govern . ment drawn from -parliamen- tary circles, from military leaders. and from powerful political fac tions which have operated for years behind the scenes in German politics. The first persons he con- suited were either members or all lies of the famous Lords club" which has lately moved into the open political arena after playing vfu al nt IA ind lao 1aIs
 Won Papen's advocated policy of understanding with France flor reasons of economic neces- sity" were certain to arouse the opposition of ltra-nationalists Hitler and Alfred Hugenberg, however, were expected to be able to keep the fascists and national ists in line generally until they considered the time proper to make a bid for power.
 President von Hindenburg was believed to have selected von Pa- pen to form a government to draw majority in the reichstag through the Catholics, Nazis, and smaller parties of the fight wing. The United Press understood, how ever, that the Catholics, ex-Chan- cellor Bruening's party, would not regard von Papen as representing them or committing their party. They were expected to tolerate any ministry he might form, at best, and support the government on condition that it's policies be pacific.
 Remembering von Papen's war time expulsion from the United States, foreign diplomats here int ad in ingtons reaction to his appoint ment. It was recalled that after he and Boy-Ed were expelled, Presi- dent Wilson, without referring to names, said in his message to con- gress that America has never wit messed anything like this sbefore" and charged that German plotters had "formed plots to destroy property" "entered into conspira- cies against the neutrality of the government" and sought to pry into very confidential transaction of the government"
 An indictment still stands against von Papen alleging participation in plot to blow up the locks of the Welland canal in Canada and to start a military expedition against friendly power. The de> partment of justice claimed to have "conclusive evidence" against him, and since the indictment can not be outlawed by time, von Pa pen would run the risk of arrest and trial if he returned to the United States.
 Disorders in Berlin.
 Berlin, June 1.-(UP)-Scat- tered disorders occurred in the streets of Berlin to-day as excited Nazis, followers of Adolph Hitler, held demonstrations, shouting Down with the Jews! Germany, awake!"
 There was excitement behind the locked doors of the government buildings, where Franz Von Pa pen, new chancellor was organiz- ing his cabinet, and in the Prus- sian Diet, which convened to-day for the first time since a physical battle on the floor between Nazis and communists.
 Uniformed police were concealed in the neighborhood of the Diet and plain clothes men were inside the building. Officials searched visitors for weapons before admit ting them to the galleries.
 A demonstration greeted the daily military parade near the Bra denberg gate. Mounted police near the ministry of defense scattered a crowd of Hitlerites. Many arrests were made.
 Won Papen already has received several acceptances to cabinet posts and hoped to submit complete list to the president tonight or tomorrow.
