The general ignores them, says he, isn't going to quit until his work is done, and that when he does leave the gov ernment he will be able to earn $100.000 a year. None doubt that statement.

NAZI CHIEF IS
 BERLIN SUICIDE
(continued from Page 1.l

When the revolt broke Saturday. 1t was announced that number of leaders had died in one of those three ways. But official announce ments of storm troopers deaths have listed only names of men ex- ecuted.
 As the government continued its investigation of the revolt, 1t was learned from an authoritative source that all but one or two members of the staff of Vice Chan cellor Franz Won Papen. conser- vative leader. had been arrested.
 IIindenburg's telegram was re- garded as particularly significant because Papen is listed as a close friend of his, and is supposed to be his intimate political contact.
 The telegram also constituted It's own denial of reports that the president was desperately ill. His health has not been good for years, as he suffers from teunic prostate trouble.
 Papen himself, it was said, was not under arrest, although he was under guard--protectice custody at his home, as was Prince August Wilhelm, fourth son of the former kaiser.
 The text of Hindenburg's tele- gram to Hitler was:
 T gather from reports submit ted to me that by energetic niter ventino you courageously. at the risk of your own life. suppressed all reasonable machinations at the ouset.
 You save the German people from grave danger. therefore convey to you expressions of sin cere, heartfelt thanks and appre- citation.
 "Hindenburg."
 To Goering he wired:
 T convey to you an expression of thanks and appreciation for your energetic. successful action in quelling reasonable attempts. With comradely greeting,
 "Hindenburg."

 Await Placement

Another increase in the number of persons on the Mutual Aid list was noted during the past week, the regular Monday report issued this morning from the office of Chairman William M. Harris dis closed. Last weeks total on the Mutual Aid list was 1,009. This weeks figure is 1.030. Whether or not the increased EZRA quota that is expected for Waterbury for the month of July will serve to stem the gradual increase in the Mutual Aid relief roster remains to be seen.
 In addition to the 1,030 now on the list, there are also 20 cases now approved but not yet placed. Of the 1,030 on the list, 908 are actually working on Mutual Aid jobs. There are 73 being taken care of at St Johns parish house or at Camp Lewis. The total number on the special relief list is 49.

New Zeppelin Shows
 Up-To-Date Quarters
Accommodations Await Finishing Touches at Fried
 richshafen-"F Flying Hotel" Title Selected

Friedrichshafen. (UP)--Save for the finishing touches, the passenger accommodations of the new Zep- pelin now under construction, the LZ 129, have been completed.
 Their spaciousness alone would merit giving the new dirigible the title of Flying Hotel" They are four times as large as those on the Graf Zeppelin" which for all it's guests had not more than 100 square meters of floor space.
 Passenger accommodations in the LZ 129 are arranged within the dirigible's body instead of un- derneath 1t. They form two decks. The upper, or A deck, contains on the port side a dining room and on the starboard side, lounge, writing room. and lobby. Be- tween these two suites of rooms are the 25 double-bed passenger cabins, each equipped with a wardrobe and running hot and cold water.
 The dining room is about 16 meters in length. affording ample room for the 50 passengers. Along the outer side of the dining room, and it's counterpart on starboard, runs a kind of miniature prome- made deck-inside the body of the airship, of course-with spacious windows. To save weight, the en- tire flooring of the upper deck is made of light metal instead of wood.
 On the lower deck, which is connected with the upper deck by real staircase. are situated the kitchen, bath, purser's office, bar, the mess rooms for officers and the crew, and, last but not least, the smoking room, the first of it's kind on a, dirigible filled with hy- drogen gas. The lower deck is slightly smaller than the A deck.
 All rooms in the new dirigible are well ventilated by new de- vice. The air in the ed-chambers, for instance, is changed automat- ically ten times per hour.

BIZ RICHARD |. GRIDLEY

BY RICHARD IL. GRIDLEY (United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Washington = (UP) = The fed- eral government today closed it's books for the 1894 fiscal year on the largest peace-time spending program in history and made plans for even larger expenditures over the new fiscal year beginning to- morrow.
 Approximately $7,0O0, 900, 900 or $56 for every man, woman and child in the country was poured out of the federal treasury in an ambitious attempt to turn the tide of business and to give relief to millions of people until prosperity is restored.
 Four Billion in Hole
 Against the record breaking ex- pendiutres the government was. able to collect only $3,000, 900, 900, or $25 per capita, from taxes. tolls and tariffs, leaving a deficit of $4,000, 100000, or $31 per capita.
 The deficit was made up by bor- rowings from investors, which car- ried the governments debt to a record peak of $27.000, 900, sur- passing the war. time record of $26,596,701,6 ,643 reached in August, 1919. Previous deficits has raised the public debt to $22,538, ,072,560 year ago to-day.
 The current fiscal year ending to- day is the fourth successive 12- month period that the govern ment's expenses have exceeded it's income, bringing the accumulated deficit during this period to around $11,000,000,000, all of which had to be made up through borrowings. The four-year deficit, however, is still under the $13,S70,637,569 def icit suffered in the 1919 fiscal year alone when billions of dollars were spent in a final effort to win the World war.
 Greater Expenditures
 Despite the huge deficit for the current fiscal year, Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr, to-day drew plans for even greater expenditures in the 1885 fiscal year beginning tomorrow in the govern ment's stand stand to defeat the depression.
 If present estimates are carried out, it is expected the government in the new fiscal year will spend $10,500,000,000 and receive in in come $4,250,000,000. This would leave a further deficit of $6,250,- 100000. It would send the public debt to the outside limit of $31,- 834,000,00O set by President Roose. welt as it would have to be made up through new borrowings.
 More than half of this fiscal years expenditures went for "emr- gency" or relief" such as the civil works administrations, the Recon struction Finance Corporation and the public works administration The ordinary" or general" ex- penses of the government were slashed about $800,000,000 from the preceding year to around $S.- 000,000,00.
 This ss,ooO. ooO,o0o was used to pay regular government salaries, veterans administration, public building construction and other normal functions of the federal government.
 Relief Expenses
 The balance of the expenditures this fiscal year amounting to about $4,00O,0O0,000 went for various re- lief purposes. The Reconstruction Finance Corporation took $1.500,- 000,00O, public works, more than $1,000, 100000 and smaller amounts went to civil works, emergency re-

 Despite the huge expenditures for the current fiscal year ending to-day the government lived far under the estimates set. last Janu- ary by President Roosevelt in his budget message.

 5. He has taken steps to pull the teeth of the SA which had become soft praetorian guard.
 6. He has created a division among leaders of the nationalist ring wing weakening their solidar- ity and compromising some of them with his own movement.
 In his blow at extremist ele- ments of the SA and his shift towards the right Hitler has nar- rowed the former broad basis os Nazi power and based 1t on the Reichswehr, Hermann Wilhelm Goering's Landespolizei or state police, the steel helmet war vet erans and the SS storm troops.
 The latter is the elite organiza- ton of the Nazi army composing about 1U0,000 finely trained men in smart black uniforms. Goering's Landespolizei comprises a splen- didiy trained body of green uni- formed Prussian gendarmes, esti- mated to number 80,000
 Hitler probably will proceed with wholesale purging and house. cleaning of the entire Nag partq, similar to the purging which frequently occurs in the Fascist and Communist parties of Italy and Russia.
 His stroke has enhanced his popularity with the industrial ar- the landed junkers and the conservative middle class.

between the storm troop leaders and the steel helmet men who re- fused to be absorbed into the storm troopers was one big factor that led to Nazism's crisis.
 Lutze Likes Stahlhelm
 Viktor Lutze, new chief of staff of the storm troopers, no sooner than he said he was friendly to the Stahlhelm and intended to CO., operate with 1t.
 Roehm's death, removed one cause for the Reichswehr's cold ness toward Nazism. He had tried to get his storm troopers taken into the army, with himself us chief of staff, and had failed be- cause of Reichswehr opposition.
 General Werner Von Blomberg. minister of defense, in a statement 0 the army yesterday, paid tribute to Hitler's energy and determina- ton in suppressing the revolt, and enjoined all army men to cultivate good relations with the reorganized ! storm troopers. Details of some of the events of the gory week end leaked out through government sources.
 A reliable source explained that the "suicide" of Won Bose was one in metaphor only. Police and SS men, 1t was said, entered his office either to search 1t or to establish sentries around the vice chancel- lery. Bose, 1t was added, took alarm and reached in his desk for a pistol, and received six bui- lets in his body from the police and SS men--a form of suicide.
 Berlin resumed work to-day. There were excited if cautious dis cussions.
 Workers saw only scattered evi- dence of the coup in the form of sentries outside the ministerial buildings and a few other spots.
