The dissolution of the Reichstag looms as imminent today as the Centre Party, on whose toleration of the Nazis the future of the present session of Parliament depends, has already had a rift with Hitler.

The new Chancellor received and refused the demand of the Centre party that he offer guarantees that his will be a rule according to the constitution which will be upheld. As a result the Centre Party may refuse to support Herr Hitler in Parliament.

A boisterous reception was accorded Adolph Hitler, as he made his way today from the Foreign Office after his appointment as Chancellor. Police were required to disperse the vast throngs which congregated in Wilhelmstrasse.

Celebrations are planned for tonight including torchlight processions. All Storm Troops of Brandenburg, joined by members of Stahlheim will march to Hitler’s residence tonight.
