PLANE TRAGEDY
SHOWN IN FILM
Scenes of WreCkage Are
Revealed in Times
NeWSreeI.

Appalling views of the wreckage
of the giant transport plane that
crashed at Chesterton, Ind, after a
mysterious explosion in mid-air that
killed seven people, are to be seen
in the current issue of The Times
universal newsreel.
Graham McNamee, noted radio
announcer and the screens talking
reporter, wildly describes this and
the other important events in the
reel.
While crowds and agents OF the
United States Department of Com
merce inspect the wreckage, parts of
the ship hanging from nearby
trees, and the half buried motor
bear mute evidence to the force of
the impact. The crash is one of
the most spectacular in the history
of aviation.
Other important events described
by McNanee include hectic scenes
at Weirton, w. Va, as state troopers
and picketS throw tear gas bombs at
each other in one of the many riots
during steel strike in that vicinity
and striking views at Shanghai,
China, where traffic is paralyzed as
the waters of the Whangpoo river
inundate the streets following a
typhoon.
Lowers reached for a revolver in
his coat pocket as officers entered,
but submitted to arrest when
covered by the officers revolvers.
Besides the revolver, officers con-
flscated two cameo rings and a
knife.
I'll have to congratulate you on
your good memory" the prisoner
commented to Whetsell as he was
being led away.
Spectators told police a woman
who sat in a car in front of the
restaurant speeded away as the
officers drove up.

OIL FIRM IS BAD AS
BANDIT, SAYS JUDGE
Raps Rule Forcing En-
pIoyes to Make Up Loss.

An oil company which forces an
employe to make good a loss in a
robbery is on equal ethical terms
with bandit, Judge Frank P. Ba-
ker told witness in criminal court
today.
James o. Smith, 1928 Central
avenue, attendant at Standard
Oil Company filling station at Fall
Creek boulevard and Central avenue,
took the stand to testify that Charles
Dannis, 10, of Warren, O., had
robbed him of S57 at the station.
Il had to make good the money"
Smith told the court.
IF that's the way Standard Oil
feels, they'll have to change their
ways, if they want protection" Judge
Baker said. They're no better
than Dannis here"
Dannis, who confessed the rob-
berry, together with numerous other
larcenies in the city, was sentenced
to ten years in the state reform
atory.

Austria's Fiery Dollfuss Is
Militant Enemy of Hitlerism
Peasants Son EnlistS Aid
of Europe to Build
His Country.
BY MILTON BRONNER
European Manager. NEA Service

VIENNA, Oct. 16.-When Destiny
' sits down to deal out her high
cards. she sometimes has way of
slipping them to people who never
we're expected to hold anything
higher than an eight-spot.
Thus it is that a smiling, rather
nervous little man named Engel-
bert Dollfuss-hes just under five
feet tall and he weighs just a little
less than 125 pounds. and he smokes
cigarets all the time-is arising in
Central Europe today as the nan
Of the hour
DollfusS is chancellor of Austria,
dictator of all that remains of the
once proud Austrian empire.
To the north lies Germany, mill
tapt and aggressive under Hitler,
openly scheming to swallow Aus
tria's 6500,000 inhabitants and
make Austria just another province
OF an expanding Germany.
Great Powers Support DoIIfuss
Chancellor Dollfuss stands in Ger
many's path. 1t won't happen if
Dollfuss can help it; and while he
is the tiny statesman of a tiny
country, fate has dealt him a pretty
fair collection Of aces.
One ace is the fact that Italy.
France and England are siding with
him.
Another is the fact that he has
succeeded in reawakening the patri-
otto fervor of his fellow countrymen
A year or so ago most Austrians
didn't especially care whether they
merged with Germany or not; lot
OF them, looking back on the dismal
record of the postwar years,
thought it probably would be a good
thing. Today they feel differently
The change has been Dollfuss' do
ing
Still another ace is the little
chancellors undoubted ability as
statesman and executive.
Wins Honors in World War
XXTHAT sort of man is he, this
w gamecock who has checked
one of Hitler's prime ambitions?
He is of markedly humble birth.
He was born in 1892, the son of
peasant woman, on a farm some
fifty miles from Vienna.
In the old days of the Hapsburgs,
a peasants son had small chance
of ever rising out of his class; but
young Dollfuss showed such intel
lectual ability in the village school
that he won a scholarship, went to
the University of Vienna to study
law, and passed from there to do
postgraduate work in economics at
Berlin university.
The war broke out when he was
%. He hurried home, enlisted, and
served in machine gun regiment
in the Tyrol. He saw upward of
three years of extremely active serv-
ice, and won decorations.
Because of his bravery and intel
ligence, he was promoted to first
lieutenant-a genuine distinction,

in the way of peasants son in the
old imperial Austrian army.
Then came the peace. Dollfuss
went back to his home district and
became an organizer for the farm
ers of the neighborhood, who were
forming a union to protect their
economic interests.
His knowledge of law and eco
Monies, coupled with his native abil-
ity, made him a valuable man. After
a few years he was appointed di-
rector of the Lower Austrian cham
Der of agriculture.
BY 1890 DollfuSs had made his
mark as a capable executive, and
the government appointed him to
reorganize and operate the national
railway system. A year later he
was made minister of agriculture in
the national cabinet. Then, in the
spring of 1882, came his greatest
opportunity.
There was a cabinet crisis and a

U. s. CHARITY MUST CARRY

Community Chests Must Be
Supported, President
Says in Address.
RAPS BUCK PASSERS'
Need OF Those on Relief
Rolls Is Growing,
He Asserts.

BIZ United Pre8s
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16-The
governments intention to prevent
starving this winter rests on the
assumption that private charity will
be kept up to the levels Of former
years, President Roosevelt declared
last night in a radio address to the
nation opening a four-Week cam
paign Of the 1888 mobilization for
human needs.
According relief work an import
ant place in the rehabilitation
plans, the President stressed the
fact that the fine teamwork in the
recovery program can not be sue
cessfJll if an important horse is ly-
ing back in the traces
A great many people, still will
need the help Of relief agencies this
winter, he declared.
Need Is Greater
1T is true that because Of a par
tial, but I believe steadily grow
ing. unemployment of the unem-
ployed, many families and many
individuals have been taken off the
local relief rolls
But, on the other hand, the
needs of those who are still on the
rolls is proportionately greater than
it was before, and, in addition to
the work of direct relief, it is neces-
sary for us to continue our support
of the permanent hospital and well
fare services that exist in every
county and in most communities.
"A number am glad to say a
small number-of people have writ
ten to me to express the thought
that all relief work should be taken
over by the government, and have
intimated that they would not feel
any duty this year to subscribe to
local relief or local charity.
Raps Buck Passers'
These people have a wholly
wrong slant on the fundamental
basis of our American civilization.
They deny the civic responsibility
of the individual, and would seek
to toss every problem into the gap
of government. They are buck
passers.
Il ask every citizen to give his
or her support to the Community
Chests and to other organizations
that raise funds for the regular
welfare services bodies which ex-
press the instincts of charity, of
humanity and of neighborliness.
They are an essential to the
whole American scheme of life.
Their meaning is expressed in the
name-the mobilization for human
needs.
Il am glad that my old friend,
Newton D. Baker, once more is
heading the forces of mobilization
and this time we are all happy that
it is a mobilization of peace"
