CHANCELLOR HITLER

HERMAN GOERING According to Berlin reporta, Chancellor Adolf Hitler has selected Prince Alexander Ferdinand, only son of Prines August Wilhelm, fourth son of the former Kaiser, to succeed him as head man in Germany when he no longer can carry the torth. "The Prince, who is 21, is a member of Hitler's Nazi organization. Recently he turned his brown shirt to become a private in the German regular army to be trained for the post of Reich Regent. Alexander's mother, Princess Alexandria, divorced his father in 1920. Later, as the wife of Arnold Reumann, naval officer, she took up residanes in the United States. Opposition to Hitler's plans for the Prince is expeeled from Herman Goering, the Chancellor's chief side, who, it is said, is looking forward to ruling
