Recent ac tions of Germany in gaining in fluence in Austria resulted in a rising tide of opposition appar ent in the Austrian capital to day. . . 1 ' Monarchists; who have been trying for years to reestablish the Austrian dynasty, had their hopes of empire frustrated. This same group sought to swing So-j cialists behind them to combat Nazi inroads into the nation. Strict supervision of all pub lic meetings by police seemed imminent after a statement by Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg to Austrian Socialists and Catho lics in which they were told that they might be allowed to form political societies for the expres sion of opinion under police su pervision. Workers guild leaders de clared that if Austrian inde pendence from Germany was in danger 'We are ready to erect barricades against Naziism." There were rumors here that Hitler was demanding further that J ewish influence in the Austrian federal banking sys tem, press, and state industries be reduced to a minimum. In Berlin, Chancellor Hitler was reported to be determined to bring about financial and in dustrial union of the two coun tries, in spite of the fact that a similar attempt had been thwarted by Britain and France in 1931. Expected to be includ ed in this agreement would be customs and monetary unions TORNADO DEVASTATES LOUISIANA OIL CITY Rodessa, La., Feb. 18.

McNinch, chairman of the Fed eral Communications commis mission, has requested that the date of his address be postponed until a later date, according to a telegram received, by Alex Heard, chairman of the Carolina Political union, yesterday. McNinch was to speak Fri day, February 25, as the union's sixth vspeaker of the quarter. The next scheduled speaker will therefore be Earl Browder, head of the Communist party in this country, who will appear . on March 3. Message McNinch's telegram read as follows: y "Expected commission tele graph rate hearing be completed this week but now certain run all next week and probably; longer. Duties as presiding of ficer make impossible keep ap pointment speak next Friday. Regret exceedingly inability keep appointment or notify you earlier. If you desire be glad to work out mutually convenient date later." Chairman Heard stated last night that an effort will be made to work out a date in the. spring quarter suitable both to Mr. Mc Ninch and the union. Chairman McNinch, a North Carolinian from Charlotte, was former chairman of the Federal Power commission but was given a leave of absence last fall to take over the work of the Federal Communications commission for the period of a. year. President Roosevelt values his services to the extent that McNinch will re turn as chairman of the power commission after straightening. out the affairs of the commuhf- cations commission, for which reason he was transferred. Earl Browder, who was un able to keep an engagement with the union in December because of illness, will close the union's winter quarter nrocrram on March 3, at 8 o'clock in Memo rial hall.
