BERLIN, Jan. 3O.-Adolf
Hitler, fiery leader of the
German FasciSts, came into
political power in Germany
today when he assumed the
chancellorship in a new Ger
man 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 COM
missioner for Prussia.
HitlerS formation Of a new gov
eminent to succeed that of General
Kurt Won Schleicher took Berlin
completely by surprise.
Hitler held a conference with his
party chiefs this morning, and was
reported to be holding out for ap-
pointment as reich's commissioner
for Prussia in addition to the chan
cellorship, which would have given
him control of the regular army
and the efficient Prussian police
force of 10000 men.
Take Oaths of Office
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.
Hitler rose to dominating power
in Germany before he became a
German citizen. and, actually, while
he was a man without a country.
Born an Austrian, he lost his
Austrian citizenship. He did not
become a German citizen until last
year, when he ran for president
against Won Hindenburg.
Hitler was granted citizenship
through disappointment to a minor
state Office in Brunswick.
Served Term in Prison
Hitler was sentenced to Jail after
his famous attempt at a beer cell
lar putsch" failed a decade ago. His
political career appeared to be
ruined at the time.
But he took advantage of discon-
tent after his release to build up
the Nazi organization, by fiery talks
and a great display of semi military
strength, into the strongest party
in the reichStag.
Hermann Goering, Nazi speaker
Of the reichstag, was commissioned
to administer the Prussian ministry
Of the interior, and was made a
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.

tional government are DR.. Will

Hugenberg, commerce and agricul-
ture; Franz Seldte, labor; Eltz Won

ton.
DR.. Prick recently broke with
Hitler and retired from his posi-
ton as one OF the chief aids of the
Nazi leader His appointment to

minister in the Schleicher cabinet.
DR.. Alfred Hugenberg is leader
Of an important group of Nation
alists. Franz Seldte is one of the

Won Papen, commissioned by the
president to engineer the forma-
ton of the government, was credit

strong a lineup as could be expected
with Nazi participation. The Nazi-
Nationalist combination in the
reichstag will insure the govern
ments life unless Emergencies de-
yelop within the ministry.
