Liverpool, N. S., Aug 10-U.P.) A huge Tuna fish which comes close to the world record has been caught off here with rod and reel by Thomas Howell, Chicago sports man.

The Thalia followed an escort and played it's lights on the launch and fish at night. The fish gave up early yesterday morning and was hauled aboard the yacht, exhausted but still struggling feeb- ly. Howell will have the fish stuffed and mounted and present it to the town of Liverpool.
 The largest record fish recorded d as caught by rod and reel was a striped Marlin of 1,040 pounds. caught by Zane Grey. the novelist, off Tahiti in 1880. Grey also hook ed tun only few pounds smaller than Howelrs.

EXILED NAZIS OF
 AUSTRIA AMAZED
Germany Has Ordered Those Encamped at
 Munich Disband

Munich. Germany, Aug 1O- fUP)-Exiled Austrian Nazls' whose hopes for power in Austria w.tre smashed by failure of the re- cent "putsch," received stunning set-back today when German au- thcrities ordered their storm troopers encamped in this district to disband. Evacuation Of the camps. which are in close proxlm- itv to the Austrian border, began at once. The disbandment order was generally accepted as another attempt to heal strained relations between Germny and Austria over NaZi excesses.
 The exact number of Austrians belonging to the organization was never determined, but it was estl- mated that between 15,0OO and 10000 legionnaires were housed Tn camps along the Austro-Bavarlan border.
 It was expected in Munich that the Austrian government, in a pol icy of conciliation would soon pro. claim a far-reaching amnesty, per hitting them to return to Austria, |, and that it might engage in rellef work to aid some during repatrla- tion.
 Dissolution of the Austrian Nazi party's executive council was made evident to outsiders today when its offices near the Brown house were vacated, and furniture was crated. At the same time. all Nazi propaganda sheets ceased publica- tion, and printed material destined for dispatch to Austria failed to appear.

MALONEY TALKED
 IN BRIDGEPORT
 ABOUT NEW DEAL
Claimed Republicans Have Been Forced to Change
 Campaign Tactics

Bridgeport, Conn, Aug 10-(UP) have been compelled to reverse their campaign tactics because the new deal appears to be a threat of good times," Con- gressman Francis T. Maloney told democratic county leaders here last night.
 Tn days gone by" he said, "the party endeavored to excite the fears of the masses by threatening loss of god times. This year, at ger because the administration is providing the necessities of life for those people in distress. It ap- pears to be a threat of good times, and is a little confusing"
 Maloney, seeking the nom!na- tion as U. S. senator, denounced professional republican criticism which, while attacking the admin istration's new deal methods, has offered no counter remedy
 There is little evidence that other than professional republicans want to go back" he declared. Thousands of independent and re- publican voters are anxious to show their appreciation and approval of our great president and those of us here now are probably watch ing the final effort of once great political party
 He said he defended rugged in- dividualism If it makes certain that every able-bodied man who is anxious and willing to work is pro- vided with job. I find this great ly different from a roughshod in- dividualism which would brush aside the needs and the problems of those people who come from of a certain select few"

 Anna Roosevelt Dall. who ob- tained a Nevada divorce during the presidents absence, met him and rode back to the White House with him. Wearing white turban with a silvered feather and short print dress, she seemed girlish and youthful as she escorted her father from the train.
 MT Roosevelt did not address his welcomers. He stopped for few minutes on the back platform with members of the train crew which had brought him at high speed from the midwest.
 As he saw his welcomers. the president waved hand and flashed his famous smile..
 "I understand they were little late in delivering us,' he said.
 As he walked down the sloping runway to the ground he kept re- beating to those who greeted him:
 Mighty glad to be back"
 Mir Roosevelt's son John was with him, other members of the family having left the train earlier.
