German people read it in Swiss pa
pers, and then learned that President
Paul Won Hindenburg had sent Won
Papen a telegram of congratulation.
Immediately after this incident
Count Rudolf Nadolny announced his
resignation as German ambassador to
Russia. This was the first detection
from Nazi government ranks since DR..
Alfred Hugenberg resigned as minister
of agriculture and economics in June,
1888. Nadolny's resignation is attrib-
uted to his failure to persuade Chan
cellor Hitler to accept Russia's pro-
posal for non-aggression pact. The
count is close personal friend of
President Won Hindenburg.

resign and has made a temporary
truce with him. Both of them ar
ranged to confer with the President at
Neudeck, but not at the same time.
D EPORTS have been rife that DR..
IN Hans Luther, German ambassador
to Washington, was to be replaced.
Luther was on his way to Germany
on the Europa and denied the reports
by wireless, saying his return was al

however, said it was rumored there
that Luther would come back only to
say farewell. He was not an original
member of the Nazi party and it is
limited that he has found 1t increas-
ingly difficult to explain the Nazi gov
eminent to the United States and to
influence his home office to adopt
measures he considered essential to
the improvement of German-American
relations.

its maneuvers have been completed.

to break the 47-hour record made in
