BERLIN, July % [F9.-Delay in the
formal acceptance by Austria of
Franz Won Papen as special minister
was causing an under current of
worry here tonight, despite official
statements to the effect that the mat

Wilhelmstrasse declared that the
delay In approving the appointment
of the conservative Catholic was
easily explained by the days events
IN Vienna.
Nevertheless, callers at the foreign
office got a distinct impression that
the postponement was causing worry,
lest 1t develop into an incident"

Hitler's Influence Great.

But 1t Is doubtful whether Hitler has
his heart set on any international In
triguing just now. He has got to look
after himself, because the economic
and financial crisis in the Reich might
prove his undoing with greater eff
ficiency than the plots and the men,
aces of his foes. 1t is for this reason
that number of diplomats are in
clined to discount Hitler's direct par
ticipation in the Austrian Nazi plot
which ended with the tragic death of
DollfuSS. There Is no doubt that the
NaZi propaganda from Germany has
had a great influence on Hitler's fol-
lowers In Austria and the ruthless
policy is being followed faithfully by
the Austrian NaZis. Hence, Hitler's
share of responsibility in the Austrian
tragedy and the European turmoil
which is likely to follow.
The neiD Austrian chancellor Is
in every tody different from his
deceased predecessor. While DOLL
fuss t0as the son OF peasant,
Ernst Rudiger Camille Marie,
Sepenth Prince Don Stdrhemberg,
Count of Schaumbitrg and Wdren-
berg, Lord OF Wildbero and Roben-
stein. is a typical Austrian aristo-
crdt who traces his feuddl ancestry
to Gunddcher BON Steinpdch, back
tn the year 1850.
Dellfuss was the smallest states
man in the world. Starhemberg is
over feet in his stockings. Dollfuss,
the son of farmer, has had to fight
his way to chancellorship. Starhem-
berg was born with gold spoon in
his mouth. A retired officer in one
of Austria's crack cavalry regiments,
he started by dabbling in politics in
stead of hunting and playing tennis.
He found politics more amusing
DollfusS died penniless, the Austrian
government had to vote a pension to
his widow and children. Starhemberg
is one of the wealthiest men in
Austria. DollfusS was determined and
brave. with keen political mind.
Starhemberg is just brave.
Responsible for Order.
On his broad shoulders rests the re-
sponsibility of restoring order in
Austria: should he fail in this task,
there will be a foreign armed inter-
vention, with serious consequences for
the peace of Europe.
His main assets are his attractive
personality, his ancestry and espe-
cially Mussolini's unqualified support.
Heretofore all Mussolini's cabinet
ministers and ambassadors abroad
were nicknamed His Masters Voice" :"
This qualification is being applied now
to the Austrian chancellor, too.

In the somber cathedral in the pres

was regarded as a truly sincere
tribute to the man himself, for
among the crowd were persons of
opposite views as to his policies.
Two old peasants, clad in simple
black. had place of honor in the
procession which carried the little
chancellor's body. They were his
parents, people Of humble birth.
With them was a group of villagers,
relatives and friends Of the family.
The man whom they honored they
remembered as youth unremarked
except for his great piety.
But from a humble station he had
risen to a martyred place at death
beside centuries of Austrian emperorS
who ruled the nation before him.

STATE AUTHORITY PRoBED.
N. r. A. Looks into Control of Pay
on Road Wages.

N. r. A. has begun an investigation
to determine whether State highway
agencies have authority under State
laws to prescribe wages contractors
shall pay on road work, irrespective Of
the construction code.
The general study resulted from ac-
ton of the Georgia Highway Board
directing contractors on State
financed highway construction to pay
the local prevailing wage. notwith-
standing the code minimum Of 40
cents an hour.
The pronouncement in the Georgia
case was expected to establish a policy
by N. r. A. to handle any similar
situations if they arise.
Under the recovery act and the con-
struction code, the right of States to
prescribe wages on State financed
work is clearly recognized. but if the
Legislatures have not delegated wage
governing powers to the highway
agencies, then N R. A. contends the
code is effective.
Southern general contractors have
protested the Accent minimum for
common labor was too high and asked
N. R. A for q stay of this code wage
provision.

Reports reaching here that the
