BERLIN, April 8.-Chancellor Hitler
dictatorial powers today over
the entire government machinery Of
the various republics and free states
which made up the German federation
as defined by the now extinct Re
publican constitution.
The chancellor will appoint govern
ors Of tie various states who, in turn,
will appoint state premiers and viii
rule independently of the state legis-
latures.
The chancellor himself becomes gov
ernor Of Prussia. Thus the appoint
ment of a premier of that largest
state. which was reported to have
caused a deadlock between the Nazis
and their Nationalist allies last month,
Is robbed of its importance.
Hitler VIII Name Goering.
Herr Hitler has decided to name
Capt. Hermann Goering minister with
out portfolio and not Vice Chancellor
Franz Won Papen as the premier Of
Prussia. It was semi-ofdcially inti-
mated that Herr Won Papen himself
had renounced aspirations to the pre-
miership after the cabinet passed
law empowering the change because
the premier now Is subordinated to the
chancellor.
The vice chancellor is to be given
"other important tasks on behalf Of
the Reich"
The Prussian Diet, which was to
have elected the premier under con-
stitutional provision, adjourned indefi-
nitely more than two weeks ago without
taking action. Informed quarters said
Nazis, who lacked q clear majority In
the Diet, insisted on the selection Of
Capt. Goering as premier. while the
Nationalists were equally firm IN back
ing President Won Hindenburg's friend
Won Papen.
Won Papen Leaves for Rome.
Baron Won Papen started last night
by train for Rome, where he Is to see
Pope Plus concerning the relations be-
tween the Nazis and the Roman Cath
olic Church in Germany. Capt. Goer-
ing, admirer Of Mussolini, who has
called the German Na1s "the breth-
rem" of the Italian Fascists, also is
going to Rome, leaving Monday by
plane.
The law to bring the state govern
ments into closer contact with the CEN
trail Reich government was passed last
night by the cabinet. Although con-
dicting with the constitution, the cab
met was given power to pass such laws
when the Reichstag approved the en-
oh lfv<r~ nk f<xxx< = l. Ie.~<
month, leaving the cabinet to rule
alone.
Legislatures Power Cut.
The newspaper Deutsche Allgemeine
said that under the new law the state
legislatures will no longer be in a posi-
ton to vote confidence In their
governments. Their power to elect the
governments Is revoked. since the gov
ernors named by Hitler control the
state cabinets.
Wolff's Telegraph Bureau reported
that two men were killed and two in
jured in political fight at Breslau,
whereupon police, assisted by NaH aux
iliaries. raided the workingmen's dis
trict and arrested 100 persons. Police
reported arms were confiscated and
emphasized that the raid was carried
out with model discipline"
Universities Bar Jews.
: Twenty-Five hundred Jewish lawyers
in Berlin, disqualified by the Nad or
der which barred them from the courts,
are waiting to hear which Of them viii
be chosen as the IS to whom permission
to practice will be granted. Before the
anti-Jewish order here were 3,400 law
yers in Berlin, 900 of them Gentiles. It
is expected Jewish war veterans and
aged men will be preferred In selection
Of the IS.

ical students In Bavarian universities.

university for 10 semesters.
