understood to have said, as an ad-
mission the vice chancellor was I'M
plicated in the "treachery" which
aroused the fury of Hitler.
Won Papen held a conference with
the chancellor late last night, being
accompanied by his son and secret
service operatives as he went TO the
chancellery.
Friends of Won Papen said his i'll
ness was not simply diplomatic" Ill
health to account Tor the leave OF ap-
sence.
He was represented as completely
sagged" by worries about his own per-
son and his family during the three
day period they were prisoners IN
their residence on Hitler's order.
Won Papen did not attend Tues
days cabinet session, friend said
because he did not want to sign his
name to the law legalizing the exc
cutions Saturday and Sunday.
If he had done so he would have
been forced to approve the violent
death of his own close collaboration,
Hubert Won Bose.
Another cabinet member was also
said to have absented himself be-
cause he could not bear to COM
mend the killing of Erich Klausener,
leader of the Catholic Action party.
Munich Men Fall.
Munich heard many other promi-
nent persons, not yet officially listed
as dead, fell. One was said to have
been killed because he was mistaken
for another person.
Reports of disturbances in Bavaria
and Silesia encouraged belief in many
circles today that the real threat to
NaN domination will come from
country districts if economic adversely
continues.
1t is the farmer, not the industrial
worker, it was pointed out, who will
be the most difficult to placate if con-
ditions of their pocketbooks grow
worse.
Small farms, receptive from the
start to promises of the National
Socialists, have been the backbone
of the Hitler movement. At present
both the large landowner, such as are
found in East Pomerania and Neck
lenburg, and the small farmer, are
known to have grievances against the
Nazi program.
The large landowner reSents a ten
oency to cut up the big estates.
Fixed Prices Boomerang.
Fixed prices for agricultural
products are credited by persons in
close touch with the situation with
a boomerang effect, in that public
consumption of various products, in
Guiding meats, has diminished.
Recent radio talks pleading the
necessity of better pay for farmers
are interpreted as preparing the pub
lie for still higher prices. 1t is such
factors as these, it was pointed out
which make a continuance of Hitler's
control of the landed districts a high
ly significant guide to the future.
Meanwhile, 1t has been learned tha
several protests have been made to tn,
foreign once over the fallure OF tnt
government to disclose the identity o.
the foreign power" which, Hitler
said, was involved in the plot of Erns
Roehm and others.
: Three Ambassadors made separate
calls at the foreign office yesterday
after the French attempt to organize
a collective protest failed.
United States Ambassador William
E. Dodd, the French Ambassador
Andre Francois-Poncet, and Sir. Eri'
PhippS, British Ambassador, called or
Foreign Minister Konstantin Won Neu
rath. Dodd was understood to have
timed his Fourth of July visit to fit il
with those of the other Ambassadors
although there has been no intimatior
that the United States might haY'
been the country referred to.
