OF PRUSSIA
DEFIANT
Move to Dissolve Body Fails;
Emergency Decree Issued
BY Hitler Government

BERLIN, Feb. 4 ,IN.S.).
Prussia, the largest and most
powerful state in the German
Reich, today defied Chancellor
Adolf Hitler.
In an open challenge to his ex-
pressed wishes, the Prussian Diet
voted down a Nazi dissolution
measure 214 to 1876. Socialists,
Communists and CentristS COM
bined in opposing the dissolution.
Hitler had called for diSSolu-
ton of the Diet to pave the way
for new elections, which he hoped
would result in heavy Nazi gains
at the polls.
Revolt I'm Nazi Ranks
BY its ad verse vote, the Diet
indicated it's refusal to be awed
by the dictatorial m ethods of the
new government, which today is
sued a presidential decree pro
viding for suppression Of the
"oppositionist press" and prohibi-
ton Of outdoor political meetings.
Before the Diet voted on the
measure, the steering committee
defied Hitler by refusing to pro-
claim dissolution. Z.
This action on the part Of the
committee carried the implication
of @ revolt within the Nazi ranks.
One member Of the committee,
which consists Of three men, is
Herr Kerrl, a prominent Nazi and
speaker of the House.
The other two are Mayor An
denSauer, of Cologne, a Centrist,
and Otto Braun, Socialist ex-
Premier of Prussia.

The New York Sstock Exchange
firm, Goodbody & Co., from
which Curtis B. Dali, President
elect Roosevelt's son-in-law just
retired, today attacked Roose-
velt's Tennessee River develop

the sale Of all "intermediate'

This is a reversal. Of the firms

ber 7, when it recommended the
purchase of stocks.
In explaining the change, the
firm states in its market letter,
signed by j. H. Lewis.
zone Of the principal reasons
for our chance Of attitude is
that a bOmbshel was dropped
into the national hospital ward
yesterday and we are afraid the
convaleScing patient won't be
able to stand the shock without
reIapSeS. At least we want to
observe them for awhile before
passing final judgment. We
refer to the proposal by Presi-

Government should develop the
entire Tennessee River valley.
The firm declared that the
proposed project would injure

SENATE
\, SCENE
Serqeant.at-Arms Cannot Exc
plain Attack on Members;
Action Due Next tuesday

After one of the most dra-
matte sessions in its history, the
Senate today considered the
advisability of ordering its sus-
pended sergeant-at-arms, David
S. Barry, prosecuted for al
legged criminal libel because he
charged members of Congress
had taken bribes for their votes
on legislation.
Barry made the charges in q
magazine article, published in the
New Outlook" of which Alfred
e. Smith is editor.
He was suspended by a viva
voce vote, after the Senate re-
fused, 31.to-4O, to order his
immediate discharge. He has
Held the post for IL years.
Report Next Tuesday
The Senate Judiciary Com
mittee, however, was instructed
to study the case and recommend
whether Barry should be cited
to the United States district
attorneys here and in New York
city for prosecution under the
criminal libel law. The COM
mittee was ordered to report by
4 p. m. next Tuesday.
Barry freely admitted writing
the article and abSolved Smith
from any connection with it. He
said he dealt solely with Frank
Tichenor, owner Of the magazine.
At first the sergeantatarms
denied any intention of charging
Senator's and Representatives with
taking bribeS. He conceded he
had no proof to sustain such
charges. Finally he declared he
believed the charges true but
again admitted he had no evi-
dence to support them.
Libel Action Is Sought
The Senate was determined to
discharge Barry, whose term
would run otherwise until a Demo-
cratic successor could be elected
after March 4. He may even be
cited for contempt Of the Senate,
although a prosecution for alleged
criminal libel appeared more
likely.
Senator Walsh D.) Of Montana
introduced a resolution calling for
such a prosecution. It was re-
ferred to the Judiciary Committee,
which will report on it next Tues
day. The resolution cited the
criminal libel law as follows:
''WhOever publishes a libel
shall be punished by a fine not
exceeding $1,000 dollars or i'm
prisOnment for q term not ex-
ceeding five years, or both"
The Judiciary Committee will
take up the case Monday. Sen
ator Norris (R) of Nebraska,
chairman, declared "there was
nothing to investigate" as Barry
had admitted writing the article
and admitted being unable to
prove the truth Of his charges.
