VIENNA. July 30.--A monarchist
took the leadership of Austria today,
and the guns of civil war which had
cracked for four tense days, are silent.
Silent, except in Carinthia, the
province which borders Italy and
Yugoslavia. There the Nazis occupy
q stronghold and maintain their de-
nance of the Fascism which they
sought, following the assassination of
the little chancellor, Englebert Doll
fuss, TO overthrow.
Putsch Fails TO Develop.
No new fighting developed over the
week end, but authorities here were
fearful Of another Nazi attack-a
putsch planned for last night which
failed to develop.
Precautions have been redoubled
and guns are everywhere in evidence.
The new government headed by DIR.
Kurt Schuschnigg, 81 years old, and
an ardent supporter of the martyred
Dollfuss. is regarded at best as only
q continuation Of the compromise by
which Dollfuss ruled.
Support OF the powerful Heimwehr
(Fascist Home Guard was assured
with Prince Ernst Rudiger Won Star
hemberg. who temporarily led the ma
tion following DoIfusS' death. again
as vice chancellor and Maj Emil Fey,
Heimwehr leader, minister of the
Interior.
Doilfuss' Murderer Confesses.
Authorities today pinned the mur-
der Of Chancellor DollfllSS to a dis
gruntled former army sergeant.
They announced that Otto Planetta.
who was dismissed from military
service because Of his Nazi Sympa-
thies, had confessed firing the shot
Wednesday which killed the Austrian
leader.
Planetta. who was among the NaZis
who raided the chancellory last We'd
nesday. confessed that he fired the
shot which killed DollfusS-the crime
of which he was already accused.
He said 1t was his revenge for hav-
ing been dismissed from military
service on account Of his Nazi
sympathies,
II may be recalled that Rudolf Der
I'll. who shot and wounded Dollfuss
last October. was a former army
bugler who had been dismissed FROM
the service two months previously fer
suspected Nazi sympathy.
SchuSchnigg Cheered.
The appointment of Schuschn!gg
by President Miklas was cheered by
MonarChists, with whom he has been
identified, although he is a member OF
the Christian Social Party.
(Monarchists we're reported to have
met over the week end in Switzerland
seeking q plan TO place Archduke
Otto, the Hapsburg pretender, on the
throne
Although Schuschnigg is an out
spoken Legitimist. it is considered
improbable he win take arg ssen to
further Otto's case while the inter
national situation remains unchanged
A pressing question of foreign policy
before the reorgantzed cabinet is
whether or not 10 agree to the ap-
pointment Of Franz Won Papen as
special German envoy TO Vienna.
