He added, however, that in
the courts opinion 1.-The pro-

to debase or corrupt morals" and
expressed the opinion that the

Shortly after his 65th birthday,
Hitler relieved him of his duties
and made him president of the

man protectorates Hitler made
him Lord-Protector. After his
induction into Office April S. 1899,
in the ancient castle on the

the background.
Hitler conferred numerous
honors upon him. Although he
did not spring from NaZi ranks,
he was awarded the golden
party badge, the highest decora-
ton within reach of a German.
Hitler also decorated him with
the Order of the Eagle, which
is otherwise awarded to foreign
