For the moment DOllfuss
and S~tarhemberg, a victorious
army and home guard behind
them, displayed sufficient con-
f~dence-whatever their in
ward apprehension-to show
mercy to the Socialists and to
dismiss the Nazis with a
phrase of contempt.
NOISY Students" Starhemberg
called the Nazis.
Starhemberg was the real force,
so far as man power went. The
price to Dollfuss of his support and
that of his Heimwehr was an ltal-
ian Fascist state without compro-
mise. In making that plain in a
speech last night Starhemberg de-
nounced all political parties, includ-
ing Dollfuss's own Christian Social
lists as corrupt and put on them, be-
cause they played politics, response
bility for the revolution and its
bloodshed.
Asks Unchecked" Rule
In a statement today, supplement-
ing his speech, ~Starhemberg de-
clared for an unchecked" dictator
ship, pending establishment OF a
Fascist constitution.
There is no possibility of a Naz1
regime in Austria" he said. Don't
be misled by the noisy activities OF
a handful of university students"
Then he showed just how far he
and Adolf Hitler, German Nazi lead
err, are separated-and, at the end,
limited at eventual compromise with
Nazis under mutually respectful eco
nomic cooperation.
II agree with every honest Aus
TRAN German at heart he SAID.
But being German is different from
being a Nazi. There is a brutality
about National Socialism (Naziism)
that is repellant to Austrians, An
schluss austrian German union,
which the Austrian Nazis want
can not be considered seriously for
the moment. 1t would precipitate
war.
Urges Friendly Agreement
I'VE are most willing to effect a
friendly agreement. Sooner or later
the two countries will come to an
economic understanding. 1t may
be possible We shall effect a COM
promise here"
To Vienna the problems of the
moment were sufficient.
Street cars moved cautiously into
the suburbs from midtown today
for the first time since Monday
morning, acting as feelers to de-
termine whether any Socialist
snipers were left in the city.
Soldiers and workmen began re-
moving barbed wire entanglements
that had protected the inner city.
1t was planned to remove the 8
p. m. curfew. Schools will resume
tomorrow.
Mourn 1000 Odd Dead
Workers and their families, wives
and mothers of soldiers and police
men and Heimwehr troops, mourned
their 1000 odd dead, including many
women and children of Socialist
families.
What Vienna hoped was the final
hareup of the revolution came az
the bells tolled midnight. A solitary
Socialist diehard crawled up from
the great center sewer which
empties into the Danbue canal,
AUDITING the city's very heart, in the
Stadtpark area. de fired a hap
hazard shot. A military patrol
answered him.
Patrols all through the area be-
gan firing. Ambulances and truck
loads of Heimwehr troopers raced to
the scene. But it was all over. The
Socialist had disappeared into his
sewer.
Two thousand Socialists captured

volt were in jail here. 1t was be-
lieved the government intended to

first time. throughout the provinces.
