however, and not even the name Of
the cemetery in which the two
bodies will rest was revealed.
With the elimination of Vof
SChleicher and of Ernest Roemn
and other leaders within the party,
Hitler apparently had believed only
one step remained to make the
purging complete, and that was the
removal of the man who, more than
any other, held Hindenburg's con-
fldence. Won Papen's resignation
had been almost foregone con-
clusion.
No report was issued regarding
the meeting at Neudeck between
the chancellor and president. other
than a perfunctory statement that
Hitler had laid before his chief A
report of recent events. Consequent
ly the subject of Hitler's conversa-
ton with Won Hindenburg never
may be known.

under protective arrest" whose
staff were arrested, some of them
to be shot, and whose personal
movements were restricted during
the hectic weekend.
The Hitler government today re-
lterated its estimate of deaths in
the liquidation" movement as fortv-
SIX, but failed to make public the
names of its victims.
For the first time, however, the
public learned the fate of Baron
Manfred Won Killinger, chief group
leader Of the Dresden storm troops.
and premier Of Saxony.
The government denied Won
Klllenger had been executed. and
thus ended many reports that the
Saxon premier had met the same
fate as other storm troop COM
manders. In its communique, the
government explained that Won

in a concentration camp at Hohen-
stein, later to be released. He was.
however, relieved of his storm
troop command.
Fear New Revolt
The government neglected to say
whether Won Killinger had been
ousted as state premier. Won Killing
er was U-boat commander dur
ing the war, and afterward became
leading power in the secret, semi
military organization known as
Consul" whose members were i'm

With the executions and sui
cides" constituting a completed
phase Of the new revolution, Hitler
and his cabinet today turned to
multitude of problems of statecraft,
some Of them of far greater even
tual importance than the elinlina-
ton of internal party enemies.
One Of these is the alarmingly low
gold reserve for currency, which has
sunk to 2 per cent. Another is the
effect Of foreign boycotts on Ger
man goods, which may assume dis
astrous proportions.
Within the reich, too, there re-
main certain smoldering and pas
sionate resentments and hatreds,
lacking only leadership to bring
them to head.
Pass % Emergency Laws
Already the cabinet has passed
twenty-five emergency laws, many
Of them aimed at further restric-
ton Of storm troop activity, such
as the collection Of funds on the
streets and in public places-a ia
vorite method Of raising money for
troops activities.
Hitler frightened his hold on the
already powerless reichstag by an
other decree which declares that
members Of the parliament will lose
their seats if they leave the party
or are expelled from it, and that
the chancellor shall have the right
to appoint their successors.
