vienna, July 1l.-P)-Engelbert
Dollfuss, Austria's fighting little
chancellor, announced a huge new
drive against Nazis Wednesday after
concentrating in his own hands all
the military and police power Of the
nation.
The death penalty will be dealt out
for the mere possession Of explosives.
Dollfuss announced, In an effort to
stop widespread bombing outrages.
In a cabinet shakeup Dollfuss pre-
sented the resignation Of the whole
group to President Wilhelm Miklas
and then submitted new list for
Miklas' approval.
Dollfuss appeared determined to
stamp out the whole Nazi movement
in Austria.
Taking leaf from the notebook Of
his neighbor and friendly protector,
Benito Mussolini, Dollfuss will add
several cabinet portfolios to his active
duties.
Gives Himself Wide Powers
He will be chancellor, foreign min
lister, minister of defense, public secur-
ity and agriculture.
All military and police power in
Austria will be concentrated in his
hands through the defense and Sc
curity posts.
A communiQue asserted the step was
necessary for peace and order and
to wipe out "the last vestiges Of trea-
sonable movement"
Almost daily bombings and other
acts Of terrorism have kept the gov
eminent nervous for months. Aus
trian Nazis were blamed by Dollfuss
supporters. They are bitter foes be-
cause of the chancellor's unrelenting
opposition to q union with Germany.
In remaking the government DOLL
fuss crippled the power of the Fascist
heimwehr, or home guard, which
gained government favor by yeoman
work during the bloody Socialist revo-
luton in February, although previous
ly no great lover of Dollfuss.
The heimwehr leaders, Prince Ernst
Won Starhemberg, vice chancellor and
Major Emil Fey, minister o. public
security, will remain In the govern
ment but Fey will surrender power.
Friction between the army and the
heimwehr was climaxed by disturban-
ces at Graz, June q. The public open
ly demonstrated sympathy for the
soldiers against the heimwehr, whose
position since the revolution has been
somewhat similar to that Of the Nazi
storm troops in Germany.
Princes Resignation Accepted
Prince Schonberg- HartenStein, who
was the only high ranking army man
in the cabinet, drops out altogether,
having declined to accept portfolio
in the new cabinet after surrendering
the ministry Of defense to Dollfuss.
The minister for constitutional re-
form, Otto Ender and Richard Sch
mitz, minister without portfolio, are
missing In the new alignment.
After the clashes between the home
guards and soldiers Fey fastened to
Graz to confer with heimwehr officers
and General schonberg- Hartenstein
likewise went to Graz to soothe the
soldiers.
In commenting on Chancellor Hit
ler's "purging," in Germany, Dollfuss
said docs not the light at last dawn
upon us that one cannot make q
people .,appy with violent methodist"
II Duce Is firmly determined that
an Austro- German alliance shall not
take place under the Swastika and has
given Dollfuss his warm backing.
