BALLOON MEN
DIFFER UPON
CAUSE Of RIP

KEARNEY, Neb., July 80. UP)-
Cause of defects in the stratosphere
balloon Explorer" were undeterm-
ined today, but the army and the
national geographic society, which
jointly backed the flight are ex-
pected to conduct a thorough in
vestigation.
The crew of the balloon, saved
when they leaped and parachuted
to earth late Saturday, aided in a
preliminary investigation yesterday.
Capt. Orvil A. Anderson, CO.
pilot, expressed the view the fabric
used below the diaphram was too
light. The rips started near the
bottom of the bag. Captain Albert
w. Stevens, scientist, however, be-
lieved the manner in which the
balloon unfolded as it expanded
in the stratosphere probably caused
the trouble. He said local strains,
set up under expansion and caused
by the peculiar shape of the bag,
probably started the rips.
Major William 1. Kepner, pilot
and leader of the flight, did not
give a public opinion. All expressed
regret the scientific instruments,
with the exception of the specto-
graph, were not saved
The balloon was giving a para
| chute effect when they bailed out
Saturday, and they hoped then
that it would bring the gondola
and instruments to ground slowly.
The bag inverted itself, however,
and the heavy metal shot earth
ward like a plummet, the fabric
streaming out behind
What was left of the wreckage
after couvenir hunters stripped a
large portion of the three acres
of tattered fabric was loaded into
| army. trucks and brought to the
national guard armory here.
The balloonists planned to return
to their posts at Rapid City today
after completing a check of the
wreckage.

government maintained heavy mill
tary.ls police and heimwehr guards
here and at all towns, fearing new
flare-upS.
Kurt Schuschnigg, professional
criminal lawyer of AZ, succeeded
martyred Engelberg Dollfuss as
chancellor Prince Ernst Rudiger
Won Starhemberg, heimwehr leader,
continued as vice chancellor. Major
Emil Fey, his chief aide, became
minister OF interior, which includes
control OF the state police.
A state of alarm was proclaimed
during the late night cabinet meet
ing at which the cabinet was re-
organized and around the chance
lery were posted strong guards.
A heimwehr spokesman said the
state of alarm was caused by de-
mand of $4,000 men of the schultz
corp organization that Starhemberg
be named chancellor. They an
nounced they would not leave Vien-
ma unless he headed the COVER
ment. Starhemberg himself left the
cabinet meeting and pleaded with
them to go home. Some left early
today.
The heimwehr, chief of the semi
military forces supporting the gov
ernment. was known to be disas
isfied because Starhemberg was not
/ chancellor.
Over the weekend there was al
most no fighting. The government
for the present, had defeated the
NaZis. But the victory was indeci-
siye and served more to show the
Nazi's strength than the govern
ment'S.
Careful compilation of casualties
in the Nazi revolt indicated be-
| tween 200 and $50 had been killed
and more than 100 wounded. OF
these the government lost 78 killed
and 165 wounded.
Reorganize Police
Police were reorganized. DR.. Mi
chael Skubl, deputy police chic:
of Vienna, was named general in
spector of all police in the country
and directed to coordinate all po-
lice units into a single group. Here
tofore police of each city have
bworked independently under the
minister of security.
First business of the new cabinet
was to clean up the remnants OF
the Nazi revolt, attempt to make
another one impossible, and to try
by special military courts the hun
dreds of Nazis, Socialists and Com
munists under arrest.
It was said authoritatively the
new government would seek to have
the big powers obtain four specific
guarantees from Germany before
it accepted Baron Fritz Won Paper
as German minister.
The guarantees are:
l. Recognition of Austria's inde-
pendence; 2. Germany must not en-
courage Austria Nazis; 3. The Aus
tria Nazi legion in Germany must
be disbanded; 4. Newspapers and
radio attacks must cease.
It was indicated the government
preferred the powers to make rep
reservations because of the diplo-
matte difficulty of imposing condl-
tions in connection with the ap-
pointment of an envoy.

$18,O18,O3O IN 1888
States Payment in Miscel-
laneOus Taxes Was 365 Per
Cent of 1888 Amount
AGRICULTURAL YIELD

Delaware paid almost five times
as much, on a percentage basis, in
miscellaneous taxes to the Federal
government during the last fiscal
year as its payments in 1888, ac-
cording to the official report of the
u. S. Internal Revenue Bureau in
Washington last week. Delaware's
increase was 365 per cent this year
as compared with 1888, while the
average for the entire country was
20 per cent increase. Delaware
paid a total of S18,018,O3O in Fed
eral taxes, including income and
processing taxes, during the cur
rent fiscal year Most of the S4,-
689,769 paid by this State in mis-
cellaneous Federal taxes was a re-
suit of New Deal legislation, the
taxes on capital stock totaling ST.
234, ,685; on dividends, $1,901 ,675
and excess profits, $3.50, for a to-
tai of S3,145,300 Federal income
tax payments in Delaware during
the fiscal year of 1884 totalled S12,-
922, 2,925, as compared with 81 ,511,-
455 in 1888, an increase of IL per
cent. The extent of Delaware's s
agricultural yield in rural New
Castle, Kent and Sussex counties
is seen in the following payments
under the agricultural administra-
ton: total, S405, ,941, dividend thus:
wheat processing tax of soc bu-
shell, SCI 500, to which are to be
added flour taxes, making the to-
tai wheat tax s73,O93; cotton, fb-
er and other taxes, S164,O ,O55; To-
bacco, S51, ,173; field corn. S5.692:
hogs, chiefly processing taxes rang
ing up to S225 per 100 pounds,
S100, 0,217; paper and jute fabrics,
competing with cotton, S11.108.
The largest item under manufac-
turers' excise taxes was the S57,-
