(By Cable By Inprecorr)

BERLIN, April 20.-Yesterday the Thuringian government issued an order concerning the carrying out of the Hindenburg emergency decree throughout Thuringia, instructing the police to prohibit all open air meetings and demonstrations of the Communist Party. Only small meetings indoors will be permitted.

The police have been instructed to permit meetings and gatherings of all other political organizations without hindrance. The emergency order, therefore, applies exclusively against the Communist Party. This order was impossible without the consent of the Socialists.
