Events the World Over
Murder of Dollfuss by Nazis Creates Serious Situation in
Europe—Bandit Dillinger Slain by Federal
Agents in Chicago.

lb n'VOELRERT DOLLFUSS, Intrepid
liuie chancellor of Austria, has
fallen a victim of his political Enemies.
A group of 141 Nazis, disguised in uni-
Mgr -—m forms, broke into the
m #_ _ chancellory In Vienna of
■ f TKfr / and made prisoners
pj> to ' IMlfuss and a mini
er 0 f j,| s 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
Engelbert fact that they had
Dollfuss murdered the dicta¬
tor, the Nazis then
Surrendered on promise of safe con¬
duct across the German border, being
aided in tlie negotiations by K. Itleth,
the German minister to Austria. When
tt 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killed the promise was revoked and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 had resigned and
would be succeeded as chancellor by
Dr. Anton Uintelen, the minister to
Italy. Uintelen 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
Schuschnlgg, minister of education un
der Dollfuss, to head the government,
and he, together with Former Vice
Chancellor Emil Fey and Prince Ernst
von Starhemberg, the vice chancellor,
took charge of ttie situation with the
heimwohr to back them up. Soon aft¬
erwards It was announced that Von
Starhemberg had been made chancel¬
lor. In the province of Styrla 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 heiimvehr.
Italy, France and Great Britain
were conferring as to the best meas¬
ures to take to carry out their pledges
of lust 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 Starhemherg 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 witli the
Italians.
Naturally, everyone blamed Ger¬
many for the tragedy in Vienna, for
the German Nazis have carried on a
long and jierslstent campaign against
Dollfuss, making use of the radio with¬
out restraint. Hitler’s government,
however, tried to avoid Implication in
the Vienna uprising. Minister Keith
was recalled to Berlin because of his
unauthorized action In helping the
Nazi group, and Hitler appointed
Franz von Pa pen 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, Jugo slavia 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
recognized. Another general European
war may be avoided for the present,
hut bloody conflict iu Austria seemed
certain.
r'OIt F the first time In history a I'rosl-
dent of the United States set foot
on Hawaiian soil when Mr. Roosevelt
landed at Hilo, He went ashore there
especially to visit the great Kilaeuea
volcano, and being driven to the edge
of the huge tirepit of Halemauiuau, tie
made a sacrifice to Pele, the fire god¬
dess, by tossing a bunch of red ohello
berries Into the crater. The city of
Hilo gave the President a warm wel¬
come and staged a pageant Then lie
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 liar
van! club, ate dinner with Gov. Joseph
Poindexter and, after a reception at
the governor's mansion retired to the
Royal Hawaiian hotel at Waikiki
beach.
\ MINNEAPOLIS became the labor
-* riot center of the country, the
striking truckmen there and tlie po¬
lice 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 cub
drivers Joined them.
Father Francis J. Haas and B. FI.
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 Beds were behind the strike and
that they would have no dealings with
Communists. Gov. Floyd Olson imme¬
diately declared martial law In the
city and Hennepin county and Adju¬
tant Gcn.-ral Walsh of the National
Guard became dictator. The decree
even muzzled the press to a consider¬
able degree. Four thousand guards¬
men were mobilized and motor patrols
toured the streets at Intervals.
Following a conference of delegates,
.1. J. Noonan, president of the Licensed
Tugtnen’s Protective association, an¬
nounced in Detroit (liat a unanimous
vote bound all unions and continued
strike aclAi In demand of an eight-
hour day and a *2.400 yearly wage.
Noonan said the next move was up
to the shlirowners, chiefly represented
by John VV. 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 Dll,LINGER, murderer, bank
robber, outlaw and most notorious
of America’s modern desperadoes. Is
dead. Traced to Chicago, he ventured
a visit to a moving
picture theater to see
a film of tlie life of a
man who ended In the
electric chair. As he
came out of the thea-
ter federal agents and
* I police squad from
a
East Chicago, Indiana,
surrounded him. He
k V' drew his pistol and
a was Instantly shot to
John death. Melvin H. Pur¬
Dillinger vis, chief of the inves¬
tigating forces of the
Department of Justice in Chicago, led
his men in this final and successful ef¬
fort to get Dillinger, dead or alive. The
outlaw had sought to disguise himself
by having Ids face lifted and his hair
dyed and by growing a sfiort mustache.
His finger tips, also, had been treated
with acid. His identification, however,
was It lmme<|M^ cf^Bbly and reported certain. that
was a wom¬
an had given the tip that resulted in
the killing of Dillinger, 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, Indiana
and Minnesota for information leading
to the capture or death of Dillinger,
These rewards total $15,000.
Attorney General Cummings in
Washington was elated by the news of
Dilllnger’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 Dillinger gang besides
the lender have been killed in battle
with the law. Eight others are in pris¬
on, two of them under sentence of
death.
4 1 TTITI the collapse of the general
V V strike In the F.an 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
wit li the ship owners. The latter
had agreed to arbitrate and at the
same time had promised to bargain
collectively #Vith other maritime
unions. In the San Francisco bay re¬
gion there were 108 vessels In port
and tlie 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
suined by Secretary of Labor l’erkis-
in tlie matter of deportations. She is
waiting for the next congress to pass
the leniency measure that would give
her dictatorial power In these cases.
/'ALE H. OLSON is in the saddle as
the acting governor of North Da
kota and matters political were quietei
in Bismarck, The house of the state
legislature called into session by Wil¬
liam Danger, 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 tlie debtor can show inability
to pay. It Is designed to protect tlie
farmer, small business man and home
owner from foreclosure.
rjNK Gulf HUNDRED coast was miles swept of the by Texas
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

ping tlie residents, breaking communi¬
cation lines and smashing boats and
buildings.
DADE COUNTY TIMES: AUGUST 2, 1934
A I.L Arr^J^in possessions except
A 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 tlie 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 tlie 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 [’resident 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 $525,000,000 drouth
relief fund for the beginning of work
on a $75,000,000 forest shelter beR 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.
Announcement of the President's ac¬
tion and of the gigantie undertaking
was made by Secretary Wallace, who
authorized the forest service to use
up to $10,000,000 of the $15.000,(MX) al¬
located to begin work on the project
Immediately.
A S PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
la. aboard the cruiser Houston was
nearing Hawaii he took time to an¬
nounce tlie membership of tlie na¬
tional mediation board for the settle¬
ment of railroad disputes. The men
he appointed nre:
William M. Leiserson, Yellow
Springs, Ohio, for tlie term ending
February, 103d.
James W. Carmalt, Washington, D.
C„ for the term ending February, 1936.
John Cartnody, now chief engineer
of the federal emergency relief adminis¬
tration, for tlie term ending February,
1936.
The President also named Murray
1-atimer chairman of the railroad
retirement board, created by a recent ^
act of congress.
A/fOSCOW has finally realized that
i’l it cannot get trade credits in the
United States until it in some way
squares up the old czarist debts owed
In tliis 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 tlie czarist and Kerensky
governments (kiring the war. The
Reds repudiated these debts when
they seized control of Russia. The
Roosevelt administration ha# firmly re¬
fused trade credits to tlie Soviet gov¬
ernment until some sort of an agree¬
ment Is reached on these debts. Al¬
though the Reconstruction Finance
corporation has bad 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
bank has held that It cannot extend
credit to Russia.
l_l AV1NG given nearly three months
*■ ■* to the study of the nation’s air de¬
fense, the board headed by Newton D.
Baker has submitted a report which
calls for Immediate
strengthening of the
army air corps to
meet “the most seri¬
ous war threat against
our country that can
be conceived.” Tlie
report says the army
air forces are de¬
cidedly Inferior to
American navy and
civil units that lead
Newton D. the world in strength
Baker and efficiency. The
budget bureau and
niggardly appropriations by congress
are Held to blame.
Shortage of modern equipment, re¬
sulting from the reduced appropria¬
tions and stagnation in promotion of
army air officers, tlie board warned,
has affected the morale of the entire
army.
Tlie report scoffed at reports the
United States was vulnerable to air
invasion. It also opposed the unifi¬
cation of army and navy air forces
under a separate national defense unit.
First giving assurance that its recom-
nendations do not embrace a national
policy of aggression, the board pro¬
posed :
1. A national aviation policy to be
retained for a “reasonable" length of
time.
2. Effectuation of the 1926 act
.vhich called for expansion of the army
tir corps to 2.320 planes with a larger
•atio of combat units.
3. Steady program of procurement
which would keep alive the nation's
airplane building industry.
4. Drastic changes in the air corps
regulations which would Increase fly¬
ing hours per pilot from 150 to 200
hours to 300 yearly; revisions in the
promotion system for officers;increased
training In flying under dangerous con¬
ditions and with instruments common
on commercial planes.
5. Consolidation of the Joint agen¬
cies of army and navy, such as the
joint munitions hoard, tlie Joint
aeronautics board, etc,, under the au¬
thority of the army and navy board
functioning as a superior board for
both departments.
6. Purchase of small inexpensive
commercial planes for use in training
pilots in group night flying.
7. Continuation of experiments with
small non-rigid airships as partial sub¬
stitutes for observation balloons.
8. Increase of the air corps person¬
nel by 403 officers.
BRISBANE
THIS WEEK
It’s Already Smashed
At Last They Got Him
Air Wisdom, and Nonsense
Forest Made to Order
Senator Borah denounces monopoly
as the cause of ail our troubles, and
says “Smash the monopolies!” As it
happens, happenings since 1929 have
smashed the monopolies fairly well.
If anybody has a monopoly that yon
would like to own, you can get It at a
bargain.
It took 15 federal agents, all ex¬
pert gunmen, to “get” Dillinger. And
they got him by surprise, thanks to a
woman's “tip that he was to be in a
certain theater," a tip supposed to
have been well paid for. It was no
“detective work.” Dillinger was killed
as he had killed others, without a
chance of escape, like a trapped coyote,
and now he knows, if he knows any¬
thing, that as a profession “crime does
not pay.”
The War department’s special avia¬
tion committee says the army should
have 2,320 planes, with corresponding
increases in flying men. It also says
there should not be one department
controlling all air forces, which is
pitiful Idiocy.
Mr. Baker must remember what hap¬
pened wtien he was secretary of war
and the flying machines of this country
sent to Europe were a joke among na¬
tions, our flying men compelled to bor¬
row from France and England planes
that would really fly.
However, the big men in the army
and navy are not flyers, and feel that
they should have their little separate
flying units to play with.
From somewhere in the Pacific Pres¬
ident Roosevelt sends an order that
$15,000,000 be set aside now, $75,000,-
000 in all, spent on a “made to order”
forest, stretching across ttiis country
through the heart of the drouth area
from the Canadian border to the Texas
Panhandle. Planned as an experiment
to counteract the drouth by encourag¬
ing rainfall, the new forest will he
1,000 miles long, 100 miles wide, 100,-
000 square miles of forest surface.
It will be a long time before any¬
body knows about the plan's success.
The President and those around him
will have disappeared, will not see the
big forest, and before it araounu to
much men may have learned to pro¬
duce rain when necessary. It Is an
Interesting experiment, costing only
$75,000,000, a mere nothing In these
days.
Henry Ford says:
‘‘Old-fashioned Americanism, the
pioneer spirit that isn’t afraid to
tackle anything, will save this nation
from its economic and social afflic¬
tions.”
Perhaps Henry Ford, who lives some
distance from the fringe of American
foolishness, gives his fellow citizens
credit for too much of the old “Ameri¬
can spirit.”
When you read that 3,000,0(K) chil¬
dren are deprived of schooling in the
United States, that this country spends
for “luxuries" twice as much as it
spends on education, you think that
possibly something has happened to
that "pioneer spirit." The Talmud
says, “Jerusalem was destroyed be¬
cause the schools were neglected."
Conditions in Vienna are bad, with
more dangerous riots expected as Nazi
terrorism continues its bomb explo¬
sions. Nazis In Austria declare that
“Roman Catholic priests led Chancel¬
lor Dollfuss in his campaign against
the Nazis,” and a Nazi spokesman de¬
clares that Nazis “have determined to
kidnap the Roman Catholic priests as
hostages.” As soon as any Nazi ter¬
rorists are sentenced to death, and
hanged, their friends will kill the
priests held as hostages.
Sir. and Sirs. Peters (he was "night
man” in a small Hoboken, N. J., lunch¬
room) won $25,516 in a sweepstake
lottery and felt that they should show
that winning, in a lottery, is a good
tiling. They drove to collect their
money in a rented 16-cylinder car with
a liveried chauffeur, and “opened"
champagne.
Any expert accountant can show
them that 4 per cent on $25,516 will
not stand that strain. Some “get-rich-
qttick" expert will probably show them
how to change $25,516 into $10,000,000
—then Mr. Peters will be “night man”
again.
Germany has real troubles, some fac¬
tories closing, hours reduced, because
of lack of raw materials. It Isn’t that
other countries refuse to sell raw ma¬
terials to Germany, but that Germany
lacks cash and credit. Hundreds of
thousands are said to be added to the
number of unemployed.
News that malaria is spreading In
Cuba, 6,000 cases reported at Santi¬
ago. will disturb intelligent Cubans
and doubtless cause an energetic fight I
against the dangerous malaria-bearing |
mosquitoes !
Mosquitoes spread malaria and also
spread yellow fever. Malaria is the
worse of the two, for it makes fife
worthless. According to scientists, the
malaria mosquitoes coming up from
tlie marshes, not rude barbarians from
tfie north or the vices of the inhabi¬
tants, destroyed the power of ancient
Borne.

Washington.—The end of June state¬
ments of all of the hanks of tlie coun¬
try are now a mat-
Bank Depositary 0 f re cord and
Increase surprisingly, nearly
all of tlie Individual
banks have shown increases in de¬
posits and resources over a year ago.
A couple of the largest banks in New
York showed such astounding in¬
creases in deposits as $1(M),(KM),000,
compared with June, 1933. But irre¬
spective of the increase in deposits—
ttiat is. the money actually in posses¬
sion of the batiks—almost none of
them disclosed any increase in tlie total
loans now outstanding. Indeed, the
rule was a decline from June 30,
1933.
Banking authorities in the govern¬
ment and outside tell me these figures
on deposits and resources clearly indi¬
cate an improvement in the general
banking situation. The Federal Re¬
serve board in Its latest review of con¬
ditions declared the banking structure
was on a much firmer foundation. Yet,
the fact that the banks have not made
loans is being seized upon by a certain
segment of politicians and alleged
economists as proof that the banks are
not doing their part. From very high
quarters In the administration we hear
intermittent yelps that the banks are
not eo-operating and are not attempt¬
ing to loan money. This condition, as
they construe it, is being used as tlie
excuse for the existence of numerous
of the government loaning agencies
and for other activities under the New-
Deal that result in getting money out
into the country.
The circumstances in the decline of
bank loans, however, is to my mind not
such as the critics of the banks claim
It must be remembered first of all that
bunkers, when they make loans, are
putting out money belonging to you
and to other depositors. They must
be reasonably sure of getting it back,
even though we do have, now the Fed¬
eral Deposit Insurance corporation
that is supposed to prevent losses for
the depositors. Rankers, therefore, are
willing to make loans of tfie vast sums
of idle cash their banks hold If they
can only find someone who will put up
security guaranteeing a return of the
borrowed funds.
While some of the critics of the
bankers have been continuing their at¬
tacks, 1 note statements from the Pub¬
lic Works administration, from the Re¬
construction Finance corporation, from
the Home Ow-ners’ I-onn corporation,
and the Farm Credit administration,
among others, which show very clearly
that the government or Its agencies Is
unwilling to make loans unless it can
foresee a reasonable chance for re¬
payment. Just the other day, the Pub¬
lic Works administration withdrew an
allocation of some $0,877,000 for con¬
struction of a bridge in Chicago be
cause, according to Public Works Ad
min!:*rator Ickes, tlie political subdi¬
vision of that city having Jurisdiction
was unable to provide a guarantee of
repayment of that loan. Every day
local units of the Home Owners’ Loan
corporation are turning down applica¬
tions by home owners who seek gov¬
ernment money through mortgages on
their property to aid them In what¬
ever distress they find themselves. The
same statement may be made respecting
loans by the Reconstruction Fnance
corporation In its dealings with In¬
dustry.
Lately the various Federal Reserve
banks issued a weekly statement of
their operations, and only three of the
twelve reserve institutions reported
having made loans to industry,
* * *
I have inquired in numerous quarters
for reasons why borrowers were so
few. Tlie consensus
Why Borrow-,r ; VPn rnp by men
ers Are Few who should know, is
that there are two
distinct reasons for the small amount
of loans being made by banks and, of
course, the same reasons apply in the
case of government loans, except that
the government has been known to put
out money In places from which if
probably never will be returned. One
of tlie reasons mentioned was that in¬
dividuals and firms who most need
money have nothing but their own
signed obligations to put up as a
guarantee. Obviously, if an individual
or a corporation has no resources, the
note of that individual or that corpora¬
tion is of little value, however honest
and well intentioned the borrower
may be.
The second reason, and one that is
quite as important. Is the lack of con¬
fidence which business men tell me
exists to a large extent in commerce
and industry. Whatever is the basis
for this lack of confidence Is not a
matter of concern in this discussion,
but its existence seem to me to be n
matter of the gravest Importance.
Whether taxpayers are afraid of the
burden in levies which they can fore¬
see, is the reason for their hesitancy,
is not now wholly apparent. Many
observers are convinced it Is an in¬
fluential factor. There is also the
question which one hears so often
asked: Where and how far does the
New Deal intend to go in socialization
and reform? It seems to be obvious
that each of these, and perhaps others,
are factors standing in the way of a
sound expansion of business under the
recovery plan.
In the meantime, the federal govern-
sion. Here is one item to show w
is happening. w
This road building has resulted in
the construction of enough miles
more than 22,000—of new highway ak
most to encircle tlie earth. This money
was voted by congress in the last ses¬
sion as a means of creating work. pro.
ponents of tlie appropriation, and ad
ministration authorities, hold that the
$400,000,000 earmarked for road build-
ing would provide thousands of new
jobs. Bureau of puhlic roads figures
indicate that this lias been the result
but I find many observers who are
wondering whether the amount of
money that has been paid to labor for
highway construction has been a proper
proportionate part of the total set
aside, when the purpose was solely
the making of Jobs.
Total figures by the public roads
office show that 6,360 miles were com¬
pleted and In nse on July 1 of this
year and that 14,(MM) miles were under
construction, with the probability that
they will he in use by tlie end of 1934.
Contracts have been awarded, die bu¬
reau has said, for tlie construction of
about 1,900 miles more, and work on
this portion will be under way in the
late summer.
* • «
It used to be assumed that when
economic conditions were below par,
Still ..... Use many owners of au-
tomobiles would dis-
Their Cera pense with their ma¬
chines until they
were better situated financially. Such,
however, seems not to have been the
case in the last year. Automobile reg¬
istrations, while they declined in 1933,
continued to remain at an unusually
high figure as compared with recent
years. Official statistics show that 23,-
872,000 motor vehicles were in use last
year. This Is only 1 per cent below
1932. The decline from 1931 to 1932
was larger, hut tlie point Is, according
to officials, that the decline was very
small. The authorities Insist that the
reduction in total motor vehicles in
use as compared with 1932 should be
considered as hardly noticeable when
the whole country and tlie whole num¬
ber of motor vehicles is considered.
Although I have not the official statis¬
tics concerning the sales of new cars
last year, responsible sources inform
me that this business was very much
Improved and they add also mat the
sales for 1934 in the first six months
have been exceptionally high. This
would Indicate that a great many in¬
dividuals have found money, in some
way or another, which they could
spare for a new automobile.
Washington observers lately have
noticed an increasing tendency among
conservatives throughout the country,
whether Democratic or Republican, to
align themselves under one banner.
The movement as yet is much In the
embryo, but I am told by various ob¬
servers who are acquainted with po¬
litical trends that the alignment is tak¬
ing a rather definite shape.
Some months ago I reported in these
columns the belief of many political
leaders that Mr. Roosevelt, as Presi¬
dent. was definitely engaged In the
formation of a Roosevelt party that
would adhere strictly to liberal stand¬
ards. Assignments which tlie Presi¬
dent has made, the legislation which
he has proposed, and his general atti¬
tude on social matters coupled with an
absolute disregard of old-time Demo¬
cratic principles, has laid tlie groun
work for the regrouping of voters un-
a liberal and conservative align¬
ment. It is to be noted in this connec¬
tion that Mr. Roosevelt is continuing
to expand his liberal doctrines under
the guidance of some of tlie P° ' !( \
leaders heretofore held to be radios
members of the two old parties.
