HILTER’S GOIl IS
DIRECTORSHIP: MS
• Til CHET POSTS;
BERLIN. Jan. 31. —Adolf Hitler,
rode into power in Germany on j
the rising tide of his militant Fas- |
cism. The desperate political ex-:
periments of the last two years
were culminated when President j
Paul von Hindenburg entrusted,
the Chancellorship to the fiery
little Austrian from Munich, foe of
Jev;s and Communisst, and lead- j
ing exponent of a belligerant Ger
man nationalism.
Last night the country stood at
the crossroads under the rising
star of a ' German Mussolini.”
Hitler is not yet dictator, but he
means to be. This he made clear
in his first proclamation to the
nation.
A dramatic reconciliation with
the aged President Hindenburg.
who twice refused him the Chan
cellorship, gave Hitler the post
yesterday.
The nationwide frenzy of fear
and enthusiasm that flashed thru
Germany on his appointment was
comparable only to that of Aug
ust, 1914. the opening of the world
war.
Hitler swore an oath of allegiance
to the Republican Constitution, re
serving for himself in the cabinet
the posts of Minister of the In
terior and minister without a port
folio.
As one safeguard President Hin
denburg left the Army in the
hands of General Werner von
Blomberg.
The Nazis leader formed his
cabinet without Centrists and the
Bavarian Peoples Party will be
asked to tolerate his regime or
else parliament will be dissolved.
Von Papen is vice chancellor and
Constantin von Neurath. foreign
minister

i B¥ I MEMO B0»
By special correspondent,
To Bloonka Manootuli, 12-yeai
old native boy of the village oi
Akokpak, may be credited the tak
ing of the first coyote within the
Nushagak watershed.
Bloonka returned from his trap
line one day about New Year’s and
reported to his astonished parents
that he had caught a ‘half-dog.’
None of the villagers knew whal
the strange animal was, and for
several days did not even remove
the pelt from it, thinking the skir
as valueless; as that from one oi
; their own sled animals.
* However, they are “wised” u^
now, and it is even possible, if thi;
y lone animal be the forerunned o:
a horde of the one-time plain
dwellers, that the words “ulna’
' and “bounty” may be added t<
’ the vocabulary of the Nushagal
' native. That is, if the bounty or
| predatory animals does not go th<
| way of the much lamented lati
j ‘reward’ for the taking of preda
| tory fish.
