NEW YORK, April 15.-The Com
munist Party of Austria has issued
a call for general strike against
the Dollfuss government, to take
place on May 1, the international
day of working-class solidarity. it
is reported by the United Press
correspondent in Vienna.
Thousands of leaflets written and
distributed by the Communis5 Party
of Austria are appearing in all the
big factories, the United Press re-
ports.
The correspondent of the United
Press also reports that the Com
munist call for a general strike
against Dollfuss has been answered
by statements from the Socialists
and Nazi groups indicating support
of the general strike call.
If the United Press reports on
Nazi action are correct, this does
not mean that the Nazis are adopt-
ing a working -class action. The
Nazi groups in Austria agree with
DollfuSs in his bloody suppression
of the working-ciass movement, but
differ from him on the question of
closer alliance with Hitler, which
they demand. opposing Dollfuss'
ties with Italian fascism through
