REWSEDPACT SEEN
IN DOLLFUSS VISIT
ChanceIIor's Trip to Rome
Linked With New Frontier
Lineup.
Nv thu Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
VIENNA, April 11.-Chancellor Engel-
bert Dollfuss' flying trip to Rome today,
where German Government leaders al
ready are visiting Vatican and Italian
government chiefs, was linked IN some
quarters with Premier MuSsolinis cam
ipaign for revision of postwar treaties.
1t brings together representatives OF
the three principal nations which have
been displeased with the frontier lines
set up after the World War. 1t also
brings together the leaders of three die
tatorial governments, Chancellor DOLL
fuss having ruled alone in Austria for
the last month.
Will See MussOlini.
An official announcement last night
said Dr. Dollfuss would visit Mussolini.
There were rumors that he would talk
with Capt. Hermann Goering, Naz1
member of the German cabinet. who IS
in Rome, concerning the establishment
of an auxiliary police force in Austria
similar to that instituted in Germany
under Capt. Goering's direction.
DR.. Dollfuss is going to Rome for the
same announced purpose that took the
other German leader, Vice Chancellor
Franz Won Papen to that city. They
both are Catholics and both ostensibly
bent on attending Holy week services in
Vatican City.
Ofsetting the possibility that the
Austrian chancellor will discuss the rpe-
cial police matter with Capt Goering
Is that there was no indication there
would be room for Austrian NaZis in the
force. The Heimwehr (Fascist) Organi-
zation was being prepared for the
auxiliary police.
The Heimwehr generally has not been
in sympathy with the Austrian Nazi
movement for union of Austria and Ger
many and DR.. Dollfuss assumed dicta-
torial powers when the NaZis became
menacing Immediately after the Hitler
electoral victory in Germany. Both
Germany and Austria, however, regard
the auxiliary police as the only defensive
measure permitted them under military
restrictions set by the peace treaties.
Pension Cuts Announced.
The Dollfuss government has an
nounced drastic pension cuts. Instead
of war veterans, however, those imme-
diately affected are pensioned Federal
railway employees.
Henceforth, instead of 90 per cent Of
active pay, the basic pension rate will
be only 78 per cent, and in no case will
pensioners be permitted to receive more
than 100 per cent of active pay.
Since the railways have $4,000 pen
sioners and only 65 900 active employees,
the reductions will mean considerable
saving.
