Rosenberg Will Head
Eastern Regions

Administration System
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
BERLIN. Nov. 17.-Adolf Hitler
today appointed Alfred Rosenberg
as Reichs minister in charge of
civil administration in the eastern
occupied regions.
The first region placed under
Rosenberg includes Lithuania. Lat
via and parts of White Russia.
The administrative unit will be
known as the Reichs Commissariat
CStland.
Rosenberg, known as the ideolog-
ical leader OF National Socialism and
familiarly called The Thinker" is
publisher of Hitler's newspaper,
Voelkischer Beobachter, and is an
expert on eastern and especially
Russian affairs.
Parts of the Ukraine also were
drawn into the German civil admin
istration system. District Leader
Erich Koch was named Reichs COM
missioner for the Ukraine.
Civil administrations, it was an
nounced, will be set up after mil

successive regions of Eastern occu-
pied territory.
Meyer Named Deputy.
Hitler named Alfred Meyer, at
torney and provincial governor of
WeStphalia, Rosenberg'S permanent
deputy.
The plan for organization of the
governments in the newly occupied
territories vests supreme authority
in Rosenberg as minister and creates
the commissariats of OStland and
the Ukraine
AS ReichS commissioner for OSt-
land. Hitler named Heinrich Lohse,
provincial governor of Schleswig-
Holstein and a businessman.
The commissioner appointed for
the Ukraine was Erich Koch, pro-
vincial governor of East Prussia, who
formerly held various posts in the
German railway system. His head
quarters will be at Kiev.
Indications are that other COM
miSsariats will be established as fast
as the army pronounces its mission
In the various regions complete.
Belongs to Old Guard.
Rosenberg belongs TO Hitler's old
guard and his influence on Nazi-
dom has been profound. When
the party succeeded to power in
1888 he greatly expanded and in
tensified its foreign political Of
fee" of which he was the leader.
Rosenberg was born in Tallinin,
capital of Estonia-which, appar-
emily, is one of the later areas to
be incorporated in the civil admin
istration system.
His friends say he considered Boil
shevism best fought by Germany
and Britain together and that he
had that in mind when he went to
London on secret mission In 1888
