Reichstag Is Dissolved; To Hold Election
German Chamber Refuses To Abide By Decree Of Von Papen Troops May Be Used To Prevent Further Sessions
BERLIN, Sept U—(UP)—Chancellor Franz von Fapen. amid lhe most dramatic scenes of German
parliamentary history, dissolved th« rebellious Reichstag by presidential decree today.
His action, long anticipated, threw the chamber into turmoil and precipitated a bitter clash of the Junkers government and its legislative branch.
Feeling was so intense. after the new Reichstag had definitely refused to accept the decree, that there tv as serious talk of declaring martial law- and sending troops into parliament to prevent further sessions.
VON PAPEN FIRM
By night, however, it appeared that the suave von Papen was still firmly in control, though the Reichstag had voted misconfidence in his government.
The deputies not only refused to hear von Papen's speech, in which ne to to have outlined the government's policies, but spurned the decree of dissolution when the chancellor walked to the speaker’s platform.
INTERRUPTS MEETING With an air of complete self-as-f-urance, von Fapen stepped to the platform just as the Hitlerite speaker, Herman Goering, was calling: for «. vote on the motion to repeal the government's “one-year" economic plan decree.
Goering roughly pushed thc chan-rellor aside, declaring:
“Can't you sec the house is now busy taking a vote?"
A great wave of cheering and -tamping swept over the chamber at ihis bold challenge of the government's authority.
Von Papen remained, to all appearances, unruffled. He implored <-oering to halt all other proceedings and permit, him to read the decree. Goering rebuffed him each time. Finally, lhe wiry chancellor thrust, the document at the speaker.
CHANCELLOR LEAVES (iocring motioned the paper away. Von Papen laid it on the speaker's desk, and marched out, followed by all members of his cab-ineL
The Communists screamed “Down with the von Papen government!” The deputies were polled and voted the two Communist motions ?12 to 42, with five not voting. Goering then announced that the Reichstag would recess until Tuesday but later he said no attempt would be made to reconvene then.
Voc Papen hastily summoned a cabinet meetine, during which the advisability of declaring martial law was discussed. It was announced that a general election will be called within the lecal limit of 60 days "providing peace and order are maintained.”
At 7:30 p.m. the chancellor delivered the speech which was to have been made in the Reichstag, to a national radio audience. He denounced the Reichstag for having
l.*tened reverently to the Communist, Clara Zetkin. “freshly ar* rived from Moscow," while refusing to hear the chancellor.

Students Are Urged To Obey Traffic Laws
Greek Groops To Amalgamate
Union of Professional, Social Councils To Be Completed
Amalgamation of social and professional interfraternity groups will be the chief topic of discussion at the first meeting of the year of the interfraternity council tomorrow night at 7:30 in ih^ council rooms, Student Union 418, according to Pace Parker, president of the social group. The meeting will be attended by representatives of both councils.
This move, which involves 22 social and 7 professional houses, has been suggested because of the similarity in problems of both types of fraternity. Points which have been suggested as favoring the consolidation are: facilitation of thc university rushing problem; similarity of housing and financial problems: betterment of social affairs: and similarity of requirements for initiation. 1'nder this plan, intramural athletics would remain in two separate groups.

Hadlock Explains New Parking Plans For Trojan Cars Officer On Campus Will Enforce Parking Regulations
Stringent enforcement of traffic laws with the aid of a police officer assigned to the campus and systematizing of student parking lots will be part of the current year's activities in connection with traffic problems, according to a statement by Frank L. Hadlock yesterday.
Faculty cars, as in the past, will have the use of the lot behind the Student Union, but the Aeneas hall. Mudd Memorial hall, and Bridge hall spaces are open to students. In addition, two lots just, off Hoover street opposite the Physical Education building, have been cleared and are available.
SYSTEM PLANNED “In order to prevent aimless parking of cars on these lots,” Hadlock said yesterday, “we are planning to create some system to insure straight lines and driveways. The Trojan Squires and the operations and maintenance department will cooperate in this work.”
Stationing of a police officer on University avenue is expected to cut down parking violations materially, but Hadlock emphasized that tickets will not be unnecessarily free.
TO WATCH SPEEDERS “It is not our purpose to hand out a lot of tags to students,” he said. “Warnings will be frequently resorted to, but tags will be given any persistent offenders.”
Particularly close watch will be kept on speeders on account of the increased cross-street pedestrian traffic incident to the use of the new library.
