WIENER NEUSTADT, Austria, Oc-
tober 6.-Tke rattle of musketry and
the tread of marching troops were heard
today in Wiener Neustadt as TINS m
dustrial center, 80 miles south OF
Vienna, prepared for possible as
orders and bloodshed when two rival
political organizations meet tomorrow.
Last-minute preparations were Deng
made for separate propaganda meet
ings of the Social Democrats, who rule
Vienna. and the Heimwehr, or so-called
Home Defense League of Christian So
cialists, who control the Austrian gov
eminent. Thousands OF the $4,000 IN
habitants were temporarily abandoning
the city, which has taken on the APP
pearance of a gigantic armed citadel.
Government Sends Troops.
The Austrian government sent 10000
troops and gendarmes armed with rines'
bayonets, machine guns and artillery:
The governor of lower Austria assumed
command of the security forces. IN
der the directions of the CHIEF OF pc.
lice troops were firing round a1ter rouno
of ammunition in target practice In
the suburbs.
The authorities Communicated the
large municipal hospital with 800 BEDS
in case it should be needed during the
rival meetings. Present patients were
being evacuated. All available physicians
in Vienna were ordered to be In Wiener
Neustadt tomorrow. :,
Valuable property was being banked
about with sandbags against any posi-
BILE bombardment. The 443 factories OF
the city ceased work. Business men
harricaded their shops. Electric signs
on the streets we're removed.
One Casualty Already.
There has been one casualty already,
a Social Democrat having shot the for
mer burgomaster of the town OF WeiS-
senbach twice through the chest.
Nine Communists, charged with In
citing others to size the meetings as an
occasion for open revolution, were
arrested by the police In the neighboring
town of Baden. These Communists Will
be tried for high treason.
More conservative elements Of Austria
condemned the government of Chancel-
lor Seipel for what the newspapers de-
scribed as the cabinets folly and mad
ness in permitting the rival meetings.
Newspapers said the meetings were
nothing less than open warfare which
might again 6rench Austria in blood as
did the riots of July, 1927.
There was widespread apprehension
as to the effect of the demonstrations
in the United States and Europe where
Austria has been seeking loan.
