As Chancellor.

BY FREDERICK KuH


BERLIN, Jan. 30.-Adolf Hitler,
fiery leader of the German Fascists,
came into political power in Ger
many today when he assumed the
chancellorship in new German
cabinet.
Hitler, whose political rise as
chief of the Nazis has been one of
the amazing developments of post
war politics, abandoned the "all or
nothing" policy he had held toward
participating in the government. He
accepted Franz Won Papen as his
vice chancellor and reich's commits
sioner for Prussia.
Hitler's formation of a new gov
ernment to succeed that of Gen.
Kurt Won Schleicher took Berlin
completely by surprise. Hitler held
conference with his party chiefs,
and was reported to be holding out
for appointment as reich's commits
sioner for Prussia in addition to
the chancellorship, which would
have given him control of the regu-
lar army and the efficient PruS-
sian police force of 10000 men.
Members of the new cabinet took
the oath of office in the presence
of President Won Hindenburg soon
after formation of the government
was announced.
Hermann Goering, Nazl speaker
of the reichstag, was commissioned
to administer the Prussian ministry,
of the interior, and was made
member of the national cabinet
without portfolio. His position gives
him control of 10000 Prussian po-
lice, though Papen, as reich's COM
missioner, is technical head OF the
Prussian administration.
Other members of the new ma
tional government were DR.. Wilhelm
Frick, minister of interior; Baron
Constantine Won Neurath, foreign
minister; Gen. Werner Won Blom-
berg, defense; Schwerin Won Kor-
sick, finance; DR.. Alfred Hugenberg,
commerce and agriculture; Franz
Seldte, labor; Eltz Won Reubenbach,
posts and transportation.
DR.. Frick recently broke with
Hitler and retired from his posi-
ton as one of the chief aides OF the
Nazi leader. His appointment to
the important post of minister o.
interior, however, indicated that
Importance of his retirement from
the Nazi administration was over
emphasized.
Baron Won Neurath was foreign
minister in the Schleicher cabinet.
No Disturbances
Hitler was said to have demand
ed positions which would give his
Nazis control of the regular army
and the Prussian police force as
the price for participation in the
new German government before he
accepted the chancellorship.
The stock exchange first reacted
favorably to Hitler's formation OF
cabinet, but later weakened, appar-
emily due to the uncertainty of Hit
ler's economic policy.
Police headquarters said there
had been no disturbances but the
meeting of the reichstag scheduled
for tomorrow had been postponed.
It was expected the steering COM
mittee would convene the reichstag
Immediately for political debate to
begin tomorrow.
Hitler planned to confer with
leaders of the Centrists and the
Bavarian Catholics to win assur-
ance they would at least tolerate
the new cabinet. Hitler's most i'm
portant negotiations will be with
DR.. Heinrich Bruening's Catholic
party for the reichstag support.
If Breuning refuses, as was gen.
orally expected, it was understood
Hitler would receive authorization
from President Won Hindenburg to
dissolve the reichstag and mold gen.
eral elections with an appeal fo1
all Germans to rally to Hitler ana
Hindenberg for the rescue OF the
Fatherland."
