Goering thus re places Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, economic minister and president of the Reichsbank, as the all-powerful financial and economic dictator of Germany in the climax of a long underground battle to control the nation’s economic policies. Schacht’s position became a mat ter of speculation. In some quarters it was believed his powers were ■trengthened rather than weakened by Goering’s appointment to his new post without title. Elsewhere the move was characterized as shunting Schacht into the background. As a result, it was said, Schacht may reconsider his former intention to resign. —Central Press McDonald Leads Field In First Countings Os Poll Hoey Well Up As Second and Leading in Charlotte and Asheville Areas; G raha.m Poor Third and Mcßae Not in It At All Anywhere in Entire State Unless Ralph W.
