SUPPRESSION OF PAPERS. (United P.A.—Electric Telegraph—Copyright) (Received 12 noon:) BERLIN, February 5. The death roll in Germany as the outcome of political strife since Herr Hitler's appointment as Chancellor has now reached 20. Nazis and members of the Reichs Banner clashed at Chemnitz, one of the latter being killed and many injured. One student was fatally stabbed at Bresbau, and others were wounded. Many arrests were made. Widespread disorders also took place at Munich, 19 being injured following Communist-Reiehs Banner opposition to a Nazi propaganda march. A law student, of 17, shouting, "This settles the account," shot the Mayor, Herr Kasten, of Stassfurt, when he was going home after ordering the arrest of the political agitator. The Government, declaring that incredible insults published in newspapers are injuring its authority, continues to suspend the Socialist and Communist journals. Herr Hitler's, plans for forcing a Prussian election simultaneously with that for the Reichstag have been checked hy the Prussian Diet's rejection by 214 votes to 190 of a motion for the dissolution of the House. The vote followed stormy scenes and the sitting was twice suspended. The "Manchester Guardian's" Berlin correspondent says it is now declared that if the general election results in a Nazi-Nationalist majority Herr Hitler will ask President Hindenburg to adjourn the Reichstag for at least one year, in order to give the Government full powers to carry out its policy.
