News Review of Current / Events the World Over Murder of Dollfuss by Nazis Creates Serious Situation in Europe?Bandit Dillinger Slain by Federal Agents in Chicago. By EDWARD W. PICKARD ? by Western Newspaper Union. ENGEI.BKItT DOLLKUSS. intrepid little chancellor of Austria, has fallen a victim of his political enemies. A group of 141 Nazis, disguised In unl Engelbert Dollfusa forms, broke into the chancellory in Vienna and made prisoners of Dollfuss and a num ber of his ministers. The chancellor was beaten and shot and left to bleed to death, his captors refusing to permit a physician or a priest to be called. Without revealing the fact that they had murdered the dicta tor, the Nazis then surrendered on promise of safe eon duct across the German border, being aided In the negotiations by K. Rleth, the German minister to Austria. When It was learned that Dollfuss had been killed the promise was revoked and the Nazis were locked up. Meanwhile another small bunch of Nazis had seized the radio broadcast ing office and had given out a state ment that Dollfuss bad resigned and would be succeeded as chancellor by Dr. Anton Rlntelen. the minister to Italy. Rlntelen was called to Vienna immediately, put in a cell and there shot seriously. Officials said he tried to commit suicide. President Miklas called on Dr. Kurt Schuschnigg, minister of education un der Dollfuss, to head the government, and he, together with Former Vice Chancellor Emll Fey and Prince Ernst von Starhemberg, the vice chancellor, took charge of the situation with the heimwehr to back them up. Soon aft erwards It was announced that Von Starhemberg had been made chancel lor. In the province of Styria and some other regions civil war broke out almost at once and the Nazis, strong In numbers especially in Graz, were desperately fighting with the reg ular army and the heimwehr. Italy, France and Great Britain were conferring as to the best meas ures to take to carry out their pledges of last February that the integrity of Austria should be maintained. Italy, especially, was determined that the Austrian Nazis should not gain control of the country and was ready for armed Intervention. Mussolini had 75,000 troops encamped near the Aus trian frontier and personally assured Prince Von Starhemberg that he would defend Austrian independence. The French professed to look on the Nazi revolt as an internal event not war ranting intervention at present, but the question of maintaining Austrian Independence is one of the few in which they agree entirely with the Italians. Naturally, ' everyone blamed Ger many for the tragedy in Vienna, for the German Nazis have carried on a long and persistent campaign against Dollfuss, making use of the radio with out restraint. Hitler's government, however, tried to avoid Implication in the Vienna uprising. Minister Reith was recalled to Berlin because of his unauthorized action in helping the Nazi group, and Hitler appointed Franz von Papen to succeed him. The border was closed to all political fugi tives from Austria. The German press, always under control, was careful not to express joy over the killing of Doll fuss. On the side lines, waiting to see what course would prove most advan tageous to themselves, were Czecho slovakia, JugOrSlavla and Hungary. The situation in central Europe thus , was packed with dynamite almost as | it was twenty years ago, and In all the world capitals the danger of seri- | ous international repercussions was I recognized. Another general European war may be avoided for the present, but bloody conflict in Austria seemed certain. FOR the first time in history a Presi dent of the United States set foot on Hawaiian soil when Mr. Roosevelt landed at Hllo. He went ashore there especially to visit the great Kllaeuea volcano, and being driven to the edge of the huge flrepit of Halemaumau, he made a sacrifice to Pele, the fire god dess, by tossing a bunch of red ohello berries into the crater. The city of Hllo gave the President a warm wel come and staged a pageant. Then he proceeded to Honolulu for the main events of his visit. His activities there Included a review of 15.000 troops and an inspection of the Pearl Harbor naval base. He was entertained at luncheon by MaJ. Gen. B. H. Wells, commandant of the army department. attended a picnic given by the Har vard club, ate dinner with Gov. Joseph Folndexter and, after a reception at the governor's mansion retired to the Royal Hawaiian hotel at Wuikiki beach. \/f INNEAPOLIS became the labor * riot center of the country, the striking truckmen there and the |k> llce engaging in bloody fights; and, as In San Francisco, much of the violence was attributed to Communist agitators. The striking drivers sought the stop page of all industry but only the cab drivers loined them. Father Francis J. Haas and E. H. | Dunnigan, federal labor conciliators, ! offered a plan of settlement which was accepted by the strikers, but the em ' ployers turned it down, asserting that the Reds were behind the strike and that they would have no dealings with Communists. Gov. Floyd Olson imme diately declared martial law In the I city and Ilennepln county and Adju tant General Walsh of the National , Guard became dictator. The decree I even muzzled the press to a consider able degree. Four thousand guards l men were mobilized and motor patrols toured the streets at Intervals. Following a conference of delegates, J. J. Noonan, president of the Licensed Tugmen's Protective association, an | nounced In Detroit that a unanimous vote bound all unions and continued strike action in demand of an eight hour day and a $2,400 yearly wage. Noonan said the next move was up to the shipowners, chiefly represented by John W. Cushing, Chicago, and G. A. Tomlinson, Cleveland. About ninety tugs have been tied up at Great Lakes ports since the men left their Jobs June 1, Noonan said. JOHN Dn^LINGER, murderer, bank robber, outlaw and most notorious of America's modern desperadoes, is dead. Traced to Chicago, he ventured John Dillinger a visit to a moving picture theater to see a film of the life of a man who ended in the electric chair. As he came out of the thea ter federal agents and a police squad from East Chicago, Indiana, surrounded him. He drew bis pistol and was Instantly shot to death. Melvin H. Fur vis, chief of the Inves tigating forces of the impairment or Justice in Chicago, led his men in this final and successful ef fort to get Dlllinger, dead or alive. The outlaw had sought to disguise himself I by having his face lifted and his hair i dyed and by growing a short mustache. His finger tips, also, had been treated with acid. His Identification, however, : was immediate and certain. | It was credibly reported that a wonv i an had given the tip that resulted in the killing of Dlllinger, but naturally, her name was not made public, for five members of his gang are still at large and might be expected to avenge their leader. The informant is due to re ceive at least a considerable share of the rewards offered by the govern ments of the United States, Indiann and Minnesota for information leading to the capture or death of Dlllinger. These rewards total $15,000. Attorney General Cummings in Washington was elated by the news of Dillinger's death. He warmly praised the work of Mr. Purvis and his men, who had devoted most of their time for four and a half months to the elimination of the desperado. Three of the Dlllinger gang besides the leader have been killed in battle with the law. Eight others are In pris on, two of them under sentence of death. WITH the collapse of the general strike in the San Francisco area and the defeat of the radical element among the workers, the longshoremen at all ports of the Pacific coast voted to submit to arbitration their differences with the ship owners. The latter had agreed to arbitrate and at the same time had promised to bargain collectively with other maritime unions. To the San Francisco bay re gion there were 10S vessels In port and the work of loading and unloading these went on rapidly. In other re spects normal conditions there were restored. The "vigilante'* bands, con tinued their raids on Communist hang outs and the police arrested a number of radicals. The hope that the alien agitators captured can be deported was rather dashed by the attitude as sumed by Secretary of Labor Perkins In the matter of deportations. She Is waiting for the next congress to pass the leniency measure that would give her dictatorial power in these cases. /"V I.E H. OLSON is In the saddle as the acting governor of North Da kota and matters political were quieter in Bismarck. The house of the state legislature called Into session by Wil liam Langer, the ousted governor, went home after naming a committee to consider Impeachments. The senate couldn't muster a quorum and so it quit. Acting Governor Olson declared a moratorium on every form of debt where the debtor can show inability to pay. It Is designed to protect the farmer, small business man and horue owner from foreclosure. ONE HUNDRED miles of the Texas Gulf coast was swept by a ter rific tropical storm that cost possibly a score of lives and did vast dam age to crops and other property. An eighty-mile gale drove a tidal wave six miles inland, flooding towns, trap ping the residents, breaking communi cation lines and smashing boats and buildings. ALL American possessions except the Philippines, Samoa and Guam are now under the direction of a single government agency. The division of territories and Island possessions, cre ated by President Roosevelt under au thority of the government economy act, has taken over control of Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin islands. Previously Puerto Rico was under the War department and the others under the Interior department. The navy will continue to govern Guam and Samoa, and the War depart ment will have charge of the Philip pines until they accept independence voted them by the last congress. IN AN executive order given out in Washington, the President set in motion his great reforestation pro gram designed to help the plains area of the Middle West. He allocated $15, 000,000 from the $.">25,000,000 drouth relief fund for the beginning of work on a $75,000,000 forest shelter belt a hundred miles wide and extending more than 1,000 miles through the heart of the drouth area from the Canadian border to the Texas Pan handle. AS PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT aboard the cruiser Houston was nearing Hawaii he took time to an nounce the membership of the na tional mediation board for the settle ment of railroad disputes. The men he appointed are: William M. Leiserson, Yellow Springs, Ohio, for the term ending February, 1936. James W. Carmalt, Washington, D. C., for the term ending February, 1936. John Carmody, now chief engineer of the federal emergency relief adminis tration, for the term ending February, 1936. MOSCOW has finally realized that it cannot get trade credits in the United States until It In some way squares up the old czarist debts owed in this country. Therefore Ambassa dor Troyanovsky and Secretary of State Hull have begun preliminary conversations on the subject, at the Instance of the Soviet government Russia owes the United States gov ernment $337,000,000 which this coun try lent to the czarist and Kerensky governments during the war. The Reds repudiated these debts when they seized control of Russia. The Roosevelt administration has firmly re fused trade credits to the Soviet gov ernment until some sort of an agree ment Is reached on these debts. Al though the Reconstruction Finance corporation has had an export-Import bank set up for months to finance Rus sian trade, not a single loan has been made. Under terms of the Johnson act, which prevents new American loans to foreign debt defaulters, the hank has held that it cannot extend credit to Russia. HAVING given nearly three months to the study of the nation's air de fense, the bhard headed by Newton D. Baker has submitted a report which Newton D. Baker calls for Immediate strengtherilng of the army air corps to meet "the most seri ous war threat against our country that can be conceived. ** The report says the army air forces are de cidedly Inferior to American navy and civil units that lead the world in strength and efficiency. The budget bureau and a |?|#i i>|ii iditwus uj cuugrtrss are held to blame. Shortage of modern equipment, re sulting from the reduced appropria tions and stagnation In promotion of army air officers, the hoard wartied. has affected the morale of the entire army. The report scoffed at reports the United States was vulnerable to air invasion. It jriso opposed the unifi cation of army and navy air forces under a separate national defense unit. Ancient Civilization Uncovered in Tennessee I - ? IN TENNESSEE near the Clinch river, where the Norrla dam is being built, archeologists have uncovered a prehis toric civilization. First an Indian burial mound dating from long before the arrival of Columbus was excavated. Below this was found a much earlier building containing 17 well preserved skeletons, and still further down were discovered remains of an ancient temple, shown In the photograph. BEDTIME STORY FOR CHILDREN ????? By THORNTON W. BURGESS PETER SAVES A FRIEND DETER RABBIT sat Jn a thicket of ' * young trees on the edgp of the | Green Forest. So far as he knew he , was all alone. It was very quiet there and It wasn't long before he was do* i Ing. Now, Peter Is a light sleeper, as ; all little people who never know when they may have to run for their lives must be. By and by he awoke with a start, and he was very wide awake. I Indeed. Something had wakened him. but Just what it was he couldn't say. For a few minutes he heard nothing and saw nothing. Then, near the oth It Was Chewink, the Towhee, Some times Called the Ground Robin. er edge of the thicket, he heard a great rustling cf dry leaves. For Just an instant Peter was startled, but only for an instant. His long ears told him at once that that noise was made by some one scratching among the leaves, and he knew that no one who did not wear feathers could scratch like that. "Now, who can that be?" thought Peter, and stole forward very softly. Presently he saw the brown leaves which carpeted the ground fly this way and that, and in the midst of them was an exceedingly busy person. Just a lit tle smaller than Welcome Robin, scratching away for dear life. Every now and then he picked up something. His head, throat, back, and breast were black. Beneath he was white. His sides were reddish brown. His tail was black and white and the long er feathers of his wings were edged with white. It was Chewink, the Tow hee. sometimes called the Ground Robin. , Peter kept perfectly still, for It was fun to watch some one who hadn't the 1 least Idea he was being watched. ' Chewlnk's feet were made for scratch ing and he certainly knew how to use them. For some time Peter sat there watching. Just as he had about made up his tnlnd to make his presence known and have a bit of morning gos sip, he happened to look out beyond the edge of the little thicket There he saw something red. It was some thing alive, for It was moving very slowly and cautiously toward the place where Chewlnk was scratching, forget ful of everything but bis breakfast. It was Reddy Fox. and quite plainly Ited dy was hoping to catch Chewlnk. Suddenly Peter thumped the ground with his feet. It was his danger sig nal which all his friends know. Then he turned and scampered, lipperty-lip perty-llp. to a bramble-tangle not far behind him. At% that thump Chewink instantly flew up In a little tree. Then he saw Reddy Fox and began to scold. As for Reddy. he looked over toward the bramhle-tangle and snarled. "I'll get you one of these days, Peter Rabbit," said he. "HI get yon one of these days and pay you up for cheat ing me out of a breakfast." Without so much as a glance at Chewink, Red dy turned and trotted ofT, trying to look as if he bad never entertained such a thought as trying to catch Chewink. ?. T W. BurgeM.?WNU Serrle*. ???
