jfte VgJleg Pint First In the Vattef THE BROWNSVILLE HERALD SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1934- PAGE THRE1 HITLER NOW HAS POWER OF EMPEROR Feb. 24. (If)--Any time 10:30 a. m. Sunday Adolf Hitler can proclaim himself emperor of Germany if he so chooses.

Through the reich at that hour every 60th German will pronounce the following oath: "1 swear unshakable fidelity to Adolf Hitler and unquestioning obedience to him and the leaders designated for me by him."

With the oath-taking, the venerable Pres. Paul von Hindenburg, Germany's grand old man of war and peace, will virtually fade out of the picture. Hitter will be the de facto sovereign of Germany. Those taking the all-embracing oath will include, among others, 375,000 political party bosses, 120,000 labor officials, youth leaders.

They will thereby duplicate what more than 3,000,000 Nazi storm troopers and steel helmet veterans have automatically done when they joined the brown battalion-. namely, give a pledge which otherwise is given to royalty alone.
