Brown-shirted Fascists massed and milled last week outside a squat, soldier-guarded mansion on Berlin's famed Wilhelmstrasse, shouted qualified approval of the occupant. They roared not "Hail Hindenburg!" but "Hail Hindenburg who ousted Brüning!" Plainly the only thing about Germany's Cabinet upset (TIME, June 6) which pleased the Hitlerites was that it meant the end, after 26 months, of what Germans have called the "Brüning System...
Sober German citizens had had an all too graphic picture of the parliamentary proceedings of both of Germany's extreme parties in action. Chancellor Brüning was not unduly alarmed. Next day was Corpus Christi. He marched in the religious procession (first in Berlin since the War) to the Cathedral of St. Hedwig. Strengthened by this, he buttonholed President von Hindenburg for four hours and 45 minutes three days later, tried to persuade his old patron not to admit the Fascists to a share in the Government until after the Lausanne conference in June.

Reason: small, smart William A. Curley had been in town. Now managing editor of the profitable New York Eve ning Journal, which he has built up as he built up the Chicago American and Los Angeles Herald, "Bill" Curley is Publisher Hearst's chief "trouble-shooter." From his Manhattan headquarters he dashes about to Boston, Chicago, Atlanta, Mil waukee, doctoring Hearst evening papers, advising changes, sometimes hiring...
