CUT Harrisburg, July 21 (U.P)--Economy advocates in the Pennsylvania legislature find themselves faced tonight with the task of reconciling the $22,275,000 reduction schedule approved by the House and th $18,886,000 total cut proposed by the Senate appropriations committee.

Senate committees awaited final adoption expected when the legislators return for the fifth week of the special session next Monday night. After that leaders of both houses are expected to confer on a a a a a a a a a a compromise schedule of reduction as acceptable to the members of the House and Senate. Meantime over the heads of both plans swung a veritable sword of Damascus Gov. Pinchot's unqualified threat of veto. The Governor has shown no signs of receding from his position that cuts he already has made totaling 000 are all the state can safely make at this time.

The Senate appropriation committee restored $3,337,834 of the cuts recommended by the House p- propriations committee as adopted by the House. Principle restorations were to welfare institutions.

to turn into the FOLLOWERS OF THE FORMER KAISER GAIN POWER IN GERMANY Return To Power Through Dictatorship And Martial Law In Prussia. POWER INCREASING Berlin, July 21 (U.P.) -The Von Papen "Junkers" government, having seized control of Prussia, establishing a military dictatorship and ruthlessly suppressing socialists, turned a heavy hand on the communists today. The latter, expecting suppression, began to form an underground organization. It appeared the government intended to destroy all left wing oppo-1 sition entirely, leaving the military, money and landed interests and Hitler's fascists in supreme control. The communists tried futilely to promote a general strike and their headquarters was promptly raided, which prevented publication of their newspaper, Rote Fahne.

Ninety were arrested for distributing communist leaflets urging the strike. Berlin, July 21 (U.P)- The old aristocracy of the Hohenzollern dynasty returned to power through virtual dictatorship and martial law in Prussia, planned today to grasp absolute power in the Reich by removing more Socialist officials and possibly outlawing Communists who intend to strike. The government under the cabinet formed by Fritz Von Papen, one time spy in the United States, already holds the greatest power in the nation's history-power greater than that held in the days of Kaiser Wilhelm II, great er than that held in Bismarck's day. The cabinet's action has nullified, practically all the results of the post war revolution that established the Germany, ruled by the Hohenzollerns, as a republic. It had placed the Junkers party, the party of wealth and aristocracy, back in power.

Police, on orders of Military Supervisor Gen. Runstedt, occupied the printing department of the Communist headquarters, Liebknecht House, where leaflets appealing for a general strike were being printed. The Communist daily newspaper, Rote Fahne, could not be published while headquarters occupied. Berlin remained calm although 90 persons were arrested for distributing the Communistic leaflets. Three men were seriously wounded in an argument betwen Fascists and Iron Front Socialists at Buer, in the Ruhr district.

There were disturbance in the workers' district of Berlin, where 200 Communists attacked an omnibus and forced passengers to get out. One Com- munist was killed by police fire.

July 21 (U.P)-The American Federation of Labor warned today that the nation must either give up machinery or the long work week for achinery "must make life more tolerable and must not be permitted to lower living standards." A statement by William Green, president, sharply arraigned industry, declaring that it no single act or cbjective performed during the depression which stoo to its credit. "Yet," the statement argued, "it is industry and industrial management which hold the key to the situation. "Feeding the hungry, supplying the partial needs of those who are in distress, meeting the minimum relief requirements, day by day, of millions of people and those dependent upon them offers no solution for the nation's economic ills." Green censured what he called the "only procedure adopted by industrial management," wage reduction, as destroying buying power an increasing unemployment. "After three years," he said, "of wage cutting and of the destruction of buying power amounting to over $50,000,000 economic conditions are worse, unemployment more widespread, security values are lowered and long established equalities have been completely destroyed." The executive council of the Federation urged President Hoover to call a conference of representatives of all industris and of labor to deal with the unemployment problem with the express purpose of creating work for the millions of idle. Labor's plan to accomplish this would be adoption of the five-day week and shorter work day.
