Tile Associated Press) BERLIN, Aug. 1. Chancellor Franz Von Fapen told The Associated Press today that he would present his ministry to the new Reichstag late this month and defy the members to oust him. In an exclusive interview, the chancellor made It plain that he intends to continue ruling Germany without party support. His cabinet was formed at the direction of President Von Hin-denburg June 1 and immediately afterward the Reichstag was dissolved In order that he might not have to stand a test of confidence.

"If yesterday's election had any significance," Lieut Col. Von Papen said, "it was the endorsemet by the German people of the government's effort to rid the country of party control. "All we ask for Is toleration in our endeavor to bring Germany out of her trouble. My colleagues and I intend to go before the Reichstag with our program of constructive effort and dare the members to unseat us in the face of the crying need for objective nonpartisan work." He denied that he had any intention of outlawing the Communist party, which showed a surge of new strength in yesterday's voting, and on' the subject of Adolf Hitler he said the time had come for Hitler's Nazi movement to lend a hand In the reconstruction of the fatherland. The chancellor expressed the hope that-the Centrist party, of which he was a member before he headed the cabinet and which has been fighting him bitterly, would not take upon itself the odium of provoking a new cabinet crisis.

-j In course of the Interview he cleared up what he meant by hinting in his election eve broadcast at possible revision of the constitution. "The present composed as it is oi only one cnamoer, does not have the checks and balances that, for Instance, your American Congress has in the senate, our Reicbsrat, or fed' era! council, is not comparable to your senate. Its powers are far Smaller. believe Germany needs an upper chamber. "Another thing that should.be cor' rected is our so-called list system, by which each party names a list- of candidates from which, for each 60,000 votes cast, one member is declared elected.

"There Is no personal contact, or practically none, between the candi date and the voter. The voter hasn't even a hand In nominating him. This usually is done by a small executive committee of the party. "In England and America a candidate must stand in his district and gain the confidence of the voters electing him. In Germany the voter decides upon the part he wishes to support but has no contact with the candidate.

I am hoping to see the electoral svstem so revised that the personal responsibility of the Reichstag member is again established," 4 Die In German Riots BERLIN, tPY. Post-election riots resulted in four deaths and nu merous lesser casualties today as all Germany waited for Adolf Hitler, whose bid for absolute power was spurned by the voters yesterday, to decide whether he will join in the government or fight it. Political speculation was stirred by a widespread report that before the election the fiery leader of German Fascism gave a pledge to President Von Hindenburg and the cabinet that he would enter a government coalition if he failed to win a majority of the Reichstag seats.

DIES IN CATSKiLL Last but One of Diamond Gang Departs Quietly, Vic-' tim of Tuberculosis BITTER AGAINST CHIEF CATSKILL, N. Aug. 1- OT Thin, silent Paul Quattrocchi, one right hand man of Jack Diamond, died of tuberculosis today, the last but one of the mob to rubbed out of gangdom's picture by gun, prison or disease.

He died, unlike his chief, with "his boots off," a natural death. But like Diamond, he went to his death virtu ally penniless, under the menace of three state and two federal indict ments and seeking vainly to build up a business. The police tallied off the gang on their fingers tonight: Diamond, ambushed and slain by unknown guns in a cheap Albany rooming house: John "Iron Fist" Scacohio, doing prison routine at Dannemora for his part in the kidnapping ana torture of a Catskill mountain farmer. "Bkunky" Klein in the same prison lor stealing an automobile. Jack' Dalton, Diamond's chauffeur in halycon days, a fugitive, sought by the law for trial on the torture case and questioning (regarding the death or Diamond.

Bitter' Against Chief Quattrocchi died bitter (gainst his late chief. He told his friends: "All I got out of playing around with Diamond was plenty of trouble- lost my money, lost my health. He tried to double cross me." This last was taken to refer to Paul's charge that Diamond wanted to un load on him the responsibility for which the federal and'istate Indict ments were returned against the two. Apparently unannoyed by the "mus tache gang," mentioned by investigators as possibly interested in the slay ing of Diamond and more recently of Vannie Biggins, Quattrocchi sought to rehabilitate his pocketbook by running his small roadhouse on a Cats-kill mountain by way. Quattrocchi died in the roadhouse, with his wife at his side, a dim, obscure end.

U. S. MAY SUFFER Canada Likely to Give British Preference on Cotton, Wool, Steel and Iron Products CABINET DECISION NEAR OTTAWA.

Bennett's Con' servatlves made a -comfortable majority in both houses. j. It was considered virtually certain today that Canada would let down the bars on -certain cotton, wool and silk goods and on steel and other products of iron. Chief Worry of V. 8.

How far the Bennett cabinet will go in the number of commodities to be given British preference or free entry Is the chief thing United States trade interest have to worry-about. In 1931, Canada Imported in cotton and cotton products, $16,723,974 of which came from the United States and $6,341,427 from the United Kingdom. With the exception of approximately $8,000,000 spent for raw cotton, not further manufactured than the ginning process, the total value of these Imports from the United States represented manufactured cotton products. British and American industry just about divided evenly between them the Canadian market for cotton goods. It is to win for herself part of the business with the United States that Britain is asking free entry on cotton goods not widely manufactured in Canada and a lowering in the preferential rate grainted her on oth er similar articles.

It is a fairly safe conjecture, In view of Britain's position that pref-erential rates do her industries no good if based on upward revision of tariffs, that Canada will give British manufacturers an advantage wherever possible by Ecaling down the duties on Empire goods rather than by adding to the tariffs against Unit ed States and other non-British prod ucts. The United States supplied 131 of Canada's 1931 imports of raw and unmanufactured silk, whereas Britain had no share in this trade. From south of the border also came $8,248,575 of silk and its products, against $443,783 from POMERENE SWORN IN WASHINGTON, Aug. 1 (JP) Atlee Pomerene of Ohio today was sworn in as chairman of the board of directors of the reconstruction corporation.

LETTER State Committee Assails Him for Not Urging Modification on Recent Congress POLITICAL POT BOILING NEW YORK, Aug. QP) Repub licans attacked Governor Roosevelt today on the prohibition Issue, while the democratic campaign chief Issued a call for a unique set of strategy conferences with his state chairman. Meantime, a group of republicans formed a Roosevelt league, and plans Were announced for a confer ence tomorrow between those who will direct the Hoover-Curtis reelection fight in the east. Not quite loo per cent was the headline of a "news letter" sent out by the New York republican state com mittee, in which the democratic standard bearer was taken to task for not urging the support of beet and re peal bills in the last congress. "The wets of the country waited for Governor Roosevelt, jiow the leader of his party, to urge the democrats in congress to carry out their (conven tion) promises," the article said, "but they waited in vain, Something New in Politics "This introduced something new In American politics.

Many politicians have been accused of refusing to carry out their party pledges after election, hut Governor Roosevelt and his party have got a running start by refusing to carry out their pledges when the matter was put up to them before the election." The call for all democratic state ftfhalrnwio to te New. Yt4 within tne next monm was isBuea oy James A. Parley, national chairman.
