There were a dozen monkeys,
a half dozen chameleonS, and an

are in the National Guard?"
Fiege replied:
There is q man named Mis-

BERLIN. July 9 G.N.SD.-Be-

far-reaching program of reorgani-
zation of Chancellor Adolf Hit
ler's Storm Troops (the Brown
ShirtsD guard at the Oranienburg

Berlin. was replaced today by a
detachment of BLACK Shirts" the
Chancellor's personal bodyguard.
The replacement was ordered
by Gen. Wilhelm Himmler, COM
mander Of the BLACK Shirts. "
who announced it was done in
accordance with the plan"
In many quarters the move was
regarded as significant Of Hitler'S
reputed determination to create
an organization personally more
loyal to him than the Storm
Troopers, smaller and therefore
easier to control. Distrust of
some elements in the Brown
Shirts ranks. particularly those
who were followers of Capt. Ernst
Roehm and other leaders exc
cuted in Hitler'S drastic "purging'
Of the Nazi army, was understood
to be still prevalent in the minds
Of Hitler and his close advisers.
Although no announcement of
other contemplated replacements
Of Brown Shirts by Black Shirts
was made, it was believed that
the procedure followed at the
Oranienburg camp would be fol.
lowed by similar actions at
points where Brown Shirt forces
are now stationed.
The government was forced to.
day to officially recognize the
seriousness of the food situation,
particularly the potato shortage
The bars against importation Of
foreign potatoes were lowered
when the tariff was reduced from
