(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS) That second revolution which German radicals have been talking about, took place today but, from a distance at least, Adolf Hitler appeared at Its end to be more firmly chancellor than ever. Premier Hermann Wllhelm Goerlng of Prussia announced, In reference to various ultra Radicals: "We warned against a second revolution. Now it Is we who made it and not they.

The second revolution now is ended." The rise and fall of that revolution, rapidlj' and smoothly as it happened, was not accomplished without bloodshed, however. Former Chancellor Kurt von Schleicher was killed when he resisted arrest as a conspirator against the government. Goering himself announced that several storm troop leaders Including Ernest Roehm, had committed suicide and "some have had to be shot when they offered resistance."

STARTS SUNDAY He planned to start tomorrow on a trip of more than a month to the Caribbean and the Pacific. A question mark curled above the White House today as the president labored. Every one was 'trying to guess what he had done about two important bills, the one giving bankrupt farmers a virtual five-year moratorium and the other setting up a uniform pension system for railroads. He acted on both yesterday but withheld the announcements so he could prepare statements.

Virtually all of the president's family is expected to bid him goodbye sometime tomorrow.

I By LOUIS P. LOCHNER Associated Press Foreign Staff BERLIN, June 30. (Copyright, 1934, by the Associated Free) Ruthless to all opposition, Adolf Hitler today crushed in blood a revolt that threatened his third reich. LEADERS SLAIN Whether the reactionaries of the right or the radical Nazis of the left, mutinous leaders were "liquidated." Kurt von Schleicher, former chancellor, a reactionary who wranted a return to monarchy, was killed by rifle-carrying police when he resisted arrest as a conspirator. Capt.

Ernest Roehm, commander of the storm troops, for years Hitler's closest friend and a left wing Socialist leader, committed suicide. He had been arrested, deposed, and expelled from the Nazi National party. He was of plotting Chancellor Hitler's over-accused of plotting Chancellor Hitler's overthrow and indulging in immoral orgies. Count Wold Heinrich.Helldorf, Nazi police president of Potsdam, was reported shot and killed. Long a leader of Nazis in Berlin he once told the storm troopers that three Communists must die for every storm trooper killed in opposition battles.

PARTY HEAD KILLED Heinrlch chief of the "Catholic Action" Party was slain by fire from the gun of a special guard trooper. In the violent deaths of Roehm, Von Schleicher and Klausmer, the heads of the three groups regarded as opposed to Hitler fell by bullets. Edmund Helnes, a storm troop leader, also was shot to death for resisting arrest. Von Schleicher's wife was killed in the encounter in which the former chancellor lost his life. An untold number of other storm troopers, leaders in the mutiny that brought decisive retaliation from Hitler, were dead either shot to death resisting arrest or suicides.

The non-Nazi vice chancellor, Franz von Papen who incurred the enmity of radical Nazis recently in warning Hitler of an impending revolt was arrested ostensibly for protection and later released. GOERING IS EXECUTIONER Hitler, exerting his fullest force to retain his dictatorial power over Germany directed the death of the revolt from the Nazi headquarters in Munich the city that witnessed the birth of his National Socialist movement in the wake of the World war and then rushed by plane toward Berlin. He gave orders.

(JP) Chancellor Adolf Hitler's iron-handed move to purge his Sational socialist party of extremists produced the most favorable reaction here today. PLEASES MUSSOLINI Official circles would venture no opinion as to whether Premier Benito Mussolini of Italy, Europe's original Fascist leader, had counselled such steps to Hitler during their recent conversations at Venice.

It was willingly admitted in high quarters, however, that the German chancellor's action coincides exactly with Mussolini's own views on the matter. II Duce, on several occasions, has made no effort to conceal his annoyance at the action of some of Hitler's assistants. An article in II Duce's own newspaper, II Popolo D'ltalia. some months ago captioned "Unter Fuehrer" (assistant leader) berated Hitler's lieutenants in general and expressed annoyance that Hitler himself failed to control them. these older men will not be replaced, many others will be replaced by other employees.
