CP) Prus sia's new dictatorship moved smooth ly into action today, but under the surface calm there was considerable resentment at the imposition of mar tial law by yesterday's presidential decree. Franz Bracht selected bv Chancel lor von Papen to govern Primula dur ing the period of the emergency, took over his new duties and gave the re main. nc Prussian ministers their choice of methods by which the fed eral government will remove them from office. As n result of the obstanacy of Karl Severing, who refused to relin ouish his tost as Prussian minister of the- interior until threatened with arrest, the entire Prussian cabinet is to be deposed and the federal govern ment will appoint office holders in their places. Formal proceedings were begun to day against Albert. Urzesinski. social ist head of the Prussian police, and bin two assistants, liernhard Weiss and Albert Heimansberg, who were arrested yesterday after refusing to submit to a federal order displacing them. They are charged with resist ing military authority. Meantime the sentiment of the rest of the country was lined up. Bavaria has ioined Prussia's appeal to the supreme court against the dic tatorship. Saxony declined to join. In the Essen municipal council the so cial democratic bloc refused to sanc tion leave of absence for Herr Bracht, who is lord mayor of Essen, on the grounds that he is indispensible to the city and cannot be spared to serve asdictator for Prussia. The minreme court announced that a hearing on the appeal had been set for Saturday. Desnitn martial law. however, two men were- killed nnd a number were injured in political riots last nignr. in southwestern Berlin police fired on a iv.iTimiin.Rt cm nn. killing one and wounding several. In Saxony another communist was killed wnen ponce broke up a riot between communists nd national socialists. This afternoon General fierd von Rnndstedt. in charge of the execu tion of martial law, issued a warning that imprisonment awaited those sus pected of any crime committed with Ltlinl itMnnni. rnrrvins arms without a permit, or concealing arms when be ing searched. The order forbade a numler of communist meetings sched uled for today and tomorrow. EUGENE PAYS UTAH'S FAIREST CO-ED!
