In order to avoid the possibility of Adolf Hitler, leader of the National Socialists, being deported as an undesirable alien, because of his Fascist and anti-Semitic activities, a plan is on foot in Thuringia, a hot-bed of National Socialism, to have him named a member of the Thuringian cabinet. Appointment to the cabinet would automatically make him a German citizen and thus avoid deportation.

Hitler is now a citizen of Austria. The plan to get him into the Thuringian cabinet is being broached by Dr. Wilhelm Frick, the National Socialist minister of the interior. Dr. Frick is planning to offer a bill in the Thuringian diet to enable Hitler to become a citizen but realizing that this bill may endanger the tenure of the coalition government it is understood that the bill may be dropped and the plan to make Hitler a cabinet officer substituted.
