DOLLFUSS MEETS BENES.
Pair, With Titulescu, Confer as Trains
Halt in Austria.

VIENNA. September 20 (R.-On his
homeward journey from Geneva today
Chancellor Engelbert DollfuSS found
time for a prebreakfast conference with
Foreign Ministers Eduard Benes Of
Czechoslovakia and Nicholas Titulescu
of Rumania.
The latter were en- route to Geneva
and the chancellors train heightened
it's customary five minute halt at
Woerpl to q half hour in order that
Dollfuss might chat with the Little En-
tente ministers. ,
Dollfuss afterward went on to SalZ-
burp for conversations with party leao-
ers before plunging again into the Vor-
tex in Vienna, where political rivalries
again boiled.
Dollfuss Is Challenged.
Evidences of discomfort here, partly
under the surface and partly boiling
openly. might broadly be character
lied as a revolt against the Fascist
Heimwehr (home guards, although as
far as Socialists are concerned 1t Is an
open antagonism against the Dollfuss
government.
The Socialists have threatened not
only the Heimwehr, but also have chal-
lenged Dollfuss
At the beginning of his campaign for
the independence of Austria the chan
cellor was backed by an overwhelming
majority, q Socialist party spokesman
recalled a few days ago.
But" he asserted, "the basis of his
government has been dwindling steadily
until now he has practically nobody
behind him.
See Nazis Strengthened.
I'VE tolerated Dollfuss because he was
fighting the Nazis, but the actual result
of the governments policy has been to
strengthen the Nazi movement enor-
,nously ." x
In pro-Dollfuss quarters too, how
ever. anti -Heimwehr feelings are finding
public expression. II S
One instance was seen in q meeting
OF the Lower Austrian Peasant Counch
with DR.. Karl Buresch, minister OF
finance, participating It featured
speeches demanding a Christian social
party be recognized as dominant farce

still cares about that.
AS a result, the administration can

1t was agreed something should be

Seattle, (UP)-BlacRie Fox, the hitch hiking "all-American" from Albany, N. r., has been given his walking papers by Coach Jimmy Phelan of the University of Wash ington Huskies.
 Coach Phelan said Blackie. ad- dressed him thusly:
 I'm Blackie Fox, of Albany, N. Y. just hitch-hiked here. Gimme football suit and I'll run Fulback Sulkosky off the field"
 Phelan said he would give him a chance. Before he arrived on the field in his suit, however, the coach called his players together and told them of his talk with Blackie. He ordered theml to al- low Blackie to go through the. line for at least 10 yards.
 Blackie took the ball through the line for three tries at 10 yards each. He held the ball the wrong way and failed to catch any of the passes. Still the coach encour- aged him. When the fun was over Phelan gave orders to stop Blackie. The Albany boy was stopped, plenty. He was given his walking papers.

 'sWhat time is it?" Four barks. (Correct).
 ''What date is this?" She barks the correct date.
 "what is third of this num- ber?" "A half?" "A fourth ?" (All correct).

 Inception of the 90-day harvest period in the Panhandle acrea Of Nebraska meant employment for al least 25,000 men. It was estimated that almost 75,000 workers found jobs over the entire sugar beet re- zion, embracing Nebraska, Colo rado and Wyoming.
 Nebraska producers are predict ing the greatest harvest in years With growers reporting yields of between 13 and IA tons to the acre, it was certain that the cror will go we'll over totals of 1D32 Acreage this year in Nebraska alone is 70,000 acres as compared to between 50,000 and 60,000 acres last year.
 Indirect results from the harvest in the great western section of Nebraska are almost incalculable. Gross revenue to railroads alone in handling transportation of the crop in the sugar beet regions is estim- ated at $S,500,000.

Philadelphia (UP)--Americans have a distorted picture of Bri- fains' dole situation, according to Sir Herbert Samuel leader of the Liberal Party, and former British home secretary.
 They believe that the number of persons on the dole could be less- ened if the government applied a stern hand and forced unemployed to find work.
 yer assure you. however, that certainly more than 90 per cent, and possibly 99 per cent, of; those on the dole would be more than glad to get any honorable employ ment," Sir Herbert stated in an address here.
 IT don't think anyone in Bri- tain, either in parliament or out, would want to see the unemploy- ment insurance fund, or the old age pension bills. repealeds
 The dole is necessary, Sir Her bert asserted, because of the ab- soiute shutdown of many mills and mines, and is no fault of the worker"
