and throngs flocked the streets last
night showing their resentment.
As SO often in the past, the Socialist
party and the United Trades Unions
warned the workers against rashness
and the Communist indictments to
violence. Socialists themselves engaged
in fights arising from Nasi victory cele-
brations. The disciplined Socialists
called for uncompromising opposition to
Chancellor Hitler and drastic action II
the constitution was violated, but they
asked for - cold-blooded reserve OF
unity and determination" for . decisive
showdown.
Not Truly Hitler Cabinet.
An ofYicial National Socialist procla-
nation emphasized that the cabinet
was not truly representative Of Hitler
ism. In appointing the man who had
opposed him for the presidency last
year the venerable Won Hindenburg
hedged Hitler's power by including in
the cabinet majority Of Nationalists,
with Baron Franz Won Papen ~ vice
chancellor
The National Socialist party knows
that the new government Is NO National
Socialist government, but 1t y conscious
that 1t bears the name OF its leader,
Adolf Hitler. In the back

1t stated also that now the strug-

members.

parliamentary support. The Qpunch OF
Elders called the Reichstag into session
February against the demand Of So
cialist and Communist members for an
earlier meeting. They sought to push
through a non confidence vote In the
government.
The Moderate Contrasts. whose 70
votes were needed to assure the Junker-
Nazi cabinet of a parliamentary ma
jority, issued a statement that their at
titude was lice cold" Conferences to-
day were expected to influence them to
grant at least lukewarm liberation OF
the cabinet under the threat Of dissolu

decree without recourse to an early
election.

however, that Hitler would recall him.
Household members said he was content
to await developments.
The Nazi proclamation today lacked

used in the Hitler campaign platforms
The Republican press. however, was

Storm Troops and Police.
The Socialist paper Vorwaerts re-
ported a common drill Of police and
Nszi storm troops, fully EARNED. in
Schwerin, Mecklenburg. DR.. Wilhelm
Frck, National Socialist minister Of
the interior In the new cabinet, denied
yesterday the NaziS advocated putting
the storm troops in the police force, but
it was reliably reported that the plan
had been broached but rejected by the
cabinet majority.
The newspaper Volks1eitung called
the government proclamations ''sooth-
ing pills for domestic and foreign con-
sumption" This referred to the mo-
tions passed by the Hitler cabinet last
night against any suppression OF rights
or economic or financial experiments.
The bitter Nazi opposition to Com
munists was not expected to result in
outlawing Of the party. since the Ma
tionalists adamantly opposed such
move on the grounds that 1t would
make martyrs Of the reds. A govern
ment spokesman ridiculed fears that
the Nazi anti-Semetic policy would re-
suit in pOgrom.

Dense, jovial crowds joined alternate

ordeal the 85-year-old President stood
leaning on a highbacked chair In the
balcony of his residence, waving occa-
sionally to the crowd.
Hitler took the NaN Salutes IN q

Minor luminaries of the Mani move

sons, assembled at the Kaiserhof Hotel
and also took the salutes from the
passing marchers.
A huge wagonload of police in the
