...throat operation performed on Orator Hitler last May, two days after he displayed great hoarseness in his full- length oration to the Reichstag (TIME, June 3), was officially announced last week to have been for the removal of a polyp or outgrowth from the mucous membrane. Called "successful," the polypectomy was said to have cured Hitler's hoarseness...
...Adolf Hitler who abruptly bestowed arbitrary power to settle all German church issues upon Vice President of the Reichstag Hans Kerrl, a young and virile Jew-baiter? Herr Karrl's appointment came apparently from the Ministry of Interior. No confirmation could be had that the Realmleader approved this or Minister of Interior Dr. Wilhelm Frick's other drastic move last week in appointing as Berlin's Chief of Police ruthless, Jew-baiting Count Wolf von Helldorf who was once the intimate friend of the late Storm Troop Leader Ernst Roehm.

Thirdly, the Saxo-Borussians, amid much loud discussion, made a distinction between the correct way of eating...
...Kroll Opera House last week while a battalion of grey Reichswehr troops stood as a guard of honor before the door. In public squares all over Berlin, all over Germany, other crowds stood gaping at the trumpet horns of loudspeakers. Inside the Opera House the brown-shirted Reichstag had been called to order by paunchy Hermann Wilhelm Göring. It had risen, once to honor the memory of Bavarian Minister of Education Hans Schem, killed in an airplane accident, once to do the same for the late Marshal Pilsudski of Poland. It had welcomed the newly elected delegates from...
