Power By Aboishing German States

Hitler as his personal appointees
to carry out his will.
In line with this move to give
Hitler even greater power than
enjoyed by the former Kaiser, an
other consolidation law will be
published as part of the ceremon-
les. This gives the Nazi party con-
troll over all municipal govern
ments.
In future mayors and burgo-
masters of towns no longer will be
elected by the citizens, but will be
appointed as representatives OF
the Reich by the Nazi party.
Furthermore, members of all
municipal councils will be ap-
pointed by this representative OF
the party, who will act as mayor
and fuehrer for his town.
The anniversary also is beng
marked by further action toward
again absorbing the Saar basin as
an integral part of Germany.
Hitler and interior Minister
Wilhelm Prick last night promul-
gated a law through the cabinet
providing for the appointment of
eight new Reichstag deputies
from the Saar. on the basis of
one for each 10000 votes for
Germany in the January Is pleb-
iscite which went overwhelmingly
Nazi. A new reichscommissar for
the Saar also is to be appointed.

BATON ROUGE, La, Jan. 80.

Long Square Deal association to-
day organized battalions of eitl-
zens in all parts of the state to
march on the capital if Long calls
another special session of the leg
islature to further strengthen his
dictatorship.
Activity of Gov. o. X. Allen
and the confidential statements OF
members of the Long machine, in
dicated a special session would be
called, probably beginning Sunday
night to legislate more Long enc
mics out of public office and pos
sibly call a constitutional conven-
ton to remake the constitution to
conform with Longs political prin-
ciples.
The Square Deal association
planned to assemble an unarmed
citizen "army" near Baton Rouge
a few hours before the first SEES
sion of the new legislature and
march on the capitol in a body,
hoping thus to brighten legislators
into refusing to obey Longs or
