AUSTRIA WILL
REPEL ATTACK
Prepares Picked Forces For
Border Duty To Combat Nazi
Activities.
BY ROBERT II. BEST
United Press Staff Correspondent


VIENNA, Aug. 23.-Austria gre
pared an army of 1000 picked
sharpshooters today which is to be
sent to the German frontier in
fear of an attack by exiled Nazis,
working in cooperation with Hitler
storm troopers. The frontier already
is heavily guarded.
Military intelligence reports that
the Nazis planned a series of bord-
er raids, and perhaps an invasion
in force, early in September, caus-
ed Engelbert Dollfuss chancellor
to order the new force of two
battalions of the HeimWehr to pre-
pare for action.
This development emphasized the
tension between Germany and Aus
tria over the Nazi or Fascist prob
lem which has brought increasing
ly bitter enmity between the gov
ernments which were allies during
the World war.
European powers were consider
ing the addition of 5000 men to
the military forces allowed Aus
tria under the ST. Germain treaty.
1t was hoped the men would be
ready to go to the border early
in September, after they have been
organized and instructed in spec
ian duties.
Relatives of Austrian Nazis who
have fled to Germany have re-
ceived letters telling of the for
nation of an Austrian Nazi legion,
alleged to be the nucleus of
force sworn to overthrow the gov
ernment when the time is 'ap-
propriate. Austrian newspapers have
charged German officials with COM
plicity.

FIERY ATTACK
UPON HOOVER
Father Coughlin Condemns Phil

At Detroit Bank Quiz.
ASSERTS POOR NEGLECTED
Ex-President Says His Informa-
ton On Bank Debacle Is Only
Secondhand

DETROIT, Aug. %. U.P)-Poli-
cies of former President Hoover
were criticized by the Rev. Father
Charles E. Coughlir. today before
the grand jury investigating De-
troit bank failures.
There was corn for the pigs of
Arkansas" the radio priest shouted.
but not one loaf of bread for the
starving people of Michigan"
THE trouble with the Hoover
philosophy is that he tried to cure
the damnable depression by pour
ing gold in at the top while people
died at the bottom"
Father Coughlin read at length
receipts from an article he said was
written by Mr.. Hoover in 1912 for
The Mining Magazine, an English
publication. 1t was entitled the
Economies of Boom" The ar
ticle explained steps for organizing
a mining company capitalized az
S., 100000. A half millions dollars
would be required and $4,000 to
pay off stock holders. Then, the
article stated, the company was
ready to be capitalized for $5,000,-
600.
ITO get down to plain talk" the
priest said, "the Hoover philosophy
is the exploitation of the many for
the few. I am informed that Mr..
Hoover promoted over 100 gold
mines. not one of which ever paid
dividend"
Father Coughlin emphasized that
he had mo quarrel with Mr.. Hoov-
er personally but only with mis- phil
osophy."
Defends Roosevelt
II am defending Protestant
President he said as he launched
into an impassioned plea for the
Roosevelt administration and the
new deal" II am defending a
Protestant President who has had
more courage than 80 per cent of
the Catholic priests in this coun-
try, because he has followed the Ei,-
cyclicals of tine Popes and because
he places men above bonds"
Relief for the Detroit banks will
come through revaluation of the
gold ounce which will take place
within a few weeks" he said
Freedom of the press" he cried.
There is no more freedom in the
press than in street car ticket.
The advertisers dictate the poll
cies to large part"
Turning again to the Detroit
banks, he accused the bankers of
causing their failure.
ut has been said that Senator
Couzens wrecked the banks" he
testified. THAT the federal gov
ernment wrecked the banks; pri-
vately it has been said that Father
Coughlin wrecked the banks. The
banks were wrecked before Mr.
Roosevelt became President. The
bankers themselves wrecked the
banks by looting funds for orphans
and widows and by falsifying the
record"
