ment of Chancellor Adolf Hitler is
drafting bill calling for the steri-
lization of the "hereditarily unfit"
the United Press learned on high
official authority today.
This unprecedented social expert
ment was proclaimed by Chancellor
Hitler during the days of his phe-
nomenal rise to power, but revela-
ton that the plan actually had
progressed to the law drafting stage
came as shock, even in quarters
close to Fascist leaders here.
Drafting of the bill is in the hands
of Minister of Interior Wilhelm
Prick, who. it was understood,
practically has decided the form it
is to take. Under the dictatoriaI
powers voted him by the reichStag.

controlled cabinet. can put the law
into effect by decree.

"hereditarily unfit" remained a
closely guarded secret, pending for
NAL announcement of the law.

stltutlonalistS voted joint tickets in
the March elections.

burg, at his summer villa at Neu-
deck, had accepted the resignation.
Then, suddenly and without ex-

to Neudeck to report fully on the
political situation to Won Hinden-
burg.
