giving Dollfuss eight days in which
to take the party into government
power.
The peace of Europe "hung by a
hair" last week, Vice Chancellor Emil
Fey said in an Grafton at the funeral
of police, soldier and Heimwehr (Fas-
cist homeguard) victims of the civil
war.
In the early forenoon, amid a
furry of snow-later, the weather
cleared to that brilliant, cold blue
which characterized the days Of the
bltterest flghting-a long cavalcade Of
so army trucks sped to various hos
pitals to pick up their tragic victims.
Storm Troopers Buried.
These included rs policemen, II
Heimwehrmen (home guards, 5 Aus
trian soldiers and Catholic storm
troopers.
More than so others killed on the
government side already have been
or are being buried in other parts Of
Austria
All trains, street cars and automo-
blles were ordered to pause for five
minutes throughout Austria when
the ceremony opened at City Hall
at l O'Clock in the afternoon.
Meanwhile, many secret burials OF
Socialist dead have taken place under
cover of darkness in the last seven
days.
Although Chancellor Dollfuss re-
peatedly has announced that there
will be relief work for the victims re-
gardless of the side on which their
fathers and brothers died, thousands
OF relatives of the dead, wounded or
dying Socialist Republican Guards
fear reprisal if it become known ex-
actly which families furnished the
fighters.
Buried in Night.
Therefore. they have been burying
their dead in the night time in out
lying meadows in cellars or In the
Underground canals where many died.
There were indications of growing
tension IN Carinthia today where
Nazi Gov. Kernmayer fatty refuses
to surrender his post to a federal
kommissar to be appointed by Chan
cellor Dollfuss.
In this connection, it was recalled
that Socialist officials everywhere
have been ousted as a matter of
course since the disorders and that
the Christian Social Gov. Schlegel of
Upper Austria quickly resigned when
Prince Ernst Won Starhsmberg, leader
OF the Fascist Heimwehr Chome
guard, blamed the outbreak of the
civil war on him and democratic
corruptionists and politicians of all
shades"
Nazis Emphasize Point.
The Nazis. especially in Carinthi
do not intend to permit their friend
TO be treated similarly, and this al
titude was given new emphasis with
word Of Gov. Kernmayer's stand
The truce" of eight days ordered
by Habicht gives opportunity for a
peaceful solution of the whole Naz!
question before the Carinthian gov
eminent crisis really comes to a head
with the appointment of kommissar.
In his speech Habicht said that am
Austrian Nazis who participated in
anti-government activity of any kind
during the period of truce, in which
the government is asked to conside!
his demands, will be expelled from
the party.
Habicht's threat to resume the
fight" is not interpreted generally here
as meaning that an armed clash likely
would eventuate if the government
turns a deaf ear to the Nazi de-
mands.
