STOCKS RECOVER
PART OF LOSSES
Many Shares Record Gains Of 81
to $4 a Share at Close.
Bonds Also Rise.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 27.-The securi-
ties markets recovered substantially
today, as the state of jitters over the
Austrian situation passed.
Yesterdays severe losses we're by
no means fully regained, but many
stocks at the close showed gains OF
81 to 81 a share, and bonds were
mostly substantially above yesterday s
final levels.
The rise in stocks was largely scored
in the first hour, when prices surged
upward in trading almost as active as
yesterdays. Thereafter, the list turned
dull and scattered selling cropped out.
The close was spotty, with a few is
sues, notably some of the utilities and
oils, actually registering further losses.
The majority, however, were higher.
Foreign bonds, notably Austrian, Po-
lish and Italian, recovered a point or
two, and Germans stiffened. Domestic
corporate bonds were mostly higher
and some of the United States Govern
ment issues regained good part of
yesterdays drop. Principal commodi-
ties were firm for a time, but grains
finished with small changes. Cotton
closed 10 to 80 cents bale higher.

LABOR ASKS DELAY.
IN u. S. CONTRACTS.
Would Hold Up Navy Work
Pending Arrangement
of Wage Scale.

A plea that naval construction con-
tracts amounting to $4,000, 600,
scheduled to be awarded August IS,
be held up until a more definite ar
rangement can be made for the wage
scales to be paid under the contracts
was made to the Senate Labor Com
mittee this afternoon by representa-
tive of organized labor.
Joseph S. McDonagh of the Inter
national Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers, the labor adviser on the
ShipbuiIding Code Committee, re-
quested Chairman Walsh of the Sem
ate committee to intercede and urge
the Navy Department to delay award
ing of the August contracts.
McDonagh said steps are being
taken TO set up an Industrial Rela-
tions Committee for the shipbuilding
industry and that industry and labor
each have named three representa-
tives who are working on set Of
rules and regulations. McDonagh
testified that industry has named its
representatives, but has not yet ac-
cepted the rules and regulations
drawn up. He indicated labor wants
to be sure this Industrial Relations
Committee will be in operation and
be provided with a budget SO it may
work independently Of the industry
before the naval contracts are
awarded.
Code Would Govern Contracts.
A Navy Department official told the
committee that the proposed con-
tracts would provide that the ship
building code would govern these
contracts.
Chairman Walsh asked McDonagh
if the code provisions would be less
beneficial to labor than the Bacon
Davis prevailing wage law or the
p. w. A. wage rule, and the witness
indicated they would be less beneficial.
Walsh asked if labor disturbances
would be likely to result. McDonagh
said he thought they would unless
labor gets better protection than 1t
has had to date under the shipbuild-
ing code.
The committee is expected to take
further testimony on the naval con-
tract program when it resumes later
in the day.

headed by the Fascist Prince
Ernst Won Starhemberg, fighting
rebellious Nazis with guns, hand
grenades and propaganda.
The chief propaganda ammuni-
ton was the announcement that
Chancellor Adolph Hitler Of Ger
many, originator Of the Nazi
movement, had named Germany's
vice chancellor. Franz Won Papen,
as Ambassador to Austria. Won
Papen, who is a non-Nazi and a
conservative, is to replace the Nazi
Ambassador Kurt Rieth. whom
Hitler recalled from Vienna be-
cause he had mixed into internal
Austrian matters.
The announcement of Won
Papen's new mission was received
with satisfaction by the Vienna
press and the Austrian govern
ment saw to it that Nazis under
arms were informed of the devel-
opment in the hope that they
would decide no aid could be ex-
pected from Germany.
Italy took no chances, however,
and Premier Mussolini, originator
OF the Fascist movement, held
$4,000 Italian soldiers on the bor-
der, ready TO move across at a
moments notice, with equally large
reinforcements standing close by.
In Paris, the French foreign
Office said the assassination of
Dollfuss had wrecked Nazi hopes
for sympathy and control of Aus
tria. 1t was indicated that France,
Great Britain and Italy mean
business in their joint declaration
that the independence of Austria
will be preserved.
The Partisan attitude corre-
sponded exactly to that which was
expressed yesterday in London,
where the foreign Office watched
Austria developments closely but
calmly.

WASHINGTON SEES
WAR PERIL EASED
European Nations Agree
Austrian Crisis Is Only
Internal Affair.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

The war fever which had gripped
Europe since the assassination OF
Chancellor Dollfuss of Austria was
considerably lessened today.
Diplomats and high officials In
Washington are satisfied, on the basis
of dispatches from various European
capitals, that the war danger is, for
the time being, averted.
All the European nations have
agreed that the troubles in Austria
are purely internal affair of that
country and it is up to its new chan
cellor, Prince Won Starhemberg, TO
deal with his troublesome Nazis in
any way he pleases.
The heavy war clouds over Europe
seem to be dispensing. Yesterday
there was considerable worry in off,
cial quarters regarding the eventual
attitude Of Czechoslovakia and Yugo-
slavia.
Shot Might Set Spark.
Both these countries were reported
to have concentrated forces at the
Austrian frontier and a stray shot
from either side might have set the
spark to another conf1agration.
This danger appears averted today
The CsechoSlovak government has
officially announced that the Austrian
affair was exclusively the concern OF
the authorities of that republic and
a similar attitude has been adopted by
the Belgrade government Outside the
usual peace-time garrisons, there are
no other troops at the Czechslovak-
Austrian frontier, while the Yugo-
slavs maintain only covering troops
at the border for police purposes.
This news was received with partic-
ular satisfaction in Washington be-
cause it indicates beyond doubt
Frances determination to avoid a wal
at any cost France, it is said in re-
sponsible quarters, has adopted frank
attitude of collaboration with the other
powers for the maintenance of peace
The Doumergue cabinet has forgot
ten for the time being the dissen-
tions and rivalr' S which have sep
arated France and italy for the last
few years and is leaving it entirely

CHICAGO, July 27.-John Dillin-
gers last sweetheart and the plastic
surgeon who sought to conceal the
gang chieftain's identity in a face
lifting operation were reported to be
held by Federal agents today.
Samuel p. Cowley, acting head OF
the Department of Justices investi-
eating branch here, did not deny that
both had joined Mrs Anna Sage, the
woman in red" who accompanied
Dillinger and his girl friend the night
he was slain, into custody. He merely
refused to comment on the develop
ment.
The sweetheart, Polly Hamilton
Keele, was reported to have sur
rendered, but the manner of the doc
tors purported apprehension was not
made public.
Prisoner a Suicide.
The home of James Probasco, Gov
ernment operatives declared, was used
as hospital by the surgeon when he
revamped the physiognomies of Dill
linger, his lieutenant, Homer Van Me-
ter, and possibly other hunted GRIM
inals. Probasco was brought to the
Federal Bureau yesterday for ques-
tioning about the operations, but
leaped to his death from window on
the nineteenth floor of the building in
which the Government Bureau has its
Offices before they had finished quiz
zing him.
Of1cials declined to discuss the pos
sibility that the Keele girl was the
woman who led the agents to Probas-
cos home Wednesday, when ProbaSco
was seized and surgical instruments
were found.
Mrs. Sage, at whose home Dillinger
often visited, has been held since
Tuesday night. Coroner Frank j.
Walsh said keys found in the outlaws
effects fitted several doors in her
apartment.
The whereabouts of the Keele girl
had not been known since she disap-
peared after the shooting Sunday.

DROUGHT SCOURGE
.UNAbATED IN WEST
U. S. to Expand Cattle Buy
ing and May Scrap Cot
ton Control Law.

Despite scattered heavy rains and
a general drop Of from. 20 to 80 de-
grees in the temperatlke over large
parts of the afflicted area, the great
drought remained essentially unaf-
fected today.
Life was more endurable for heat
stricken humans and farm animals in
the widespread drought section. which
now centers in Missouri, and tor
rental showers in a few places may
have come almost at the last moment
to give a new lease on life to the
burning corn. Few temperatures as
high as 100 were reported this morn
ing through the section which has
been sweltering in temperatures rang
ing as high as 1l0. But scattered
showers, Weather Bureau meteorolo-
gists point out, can bring only tenn
porary alienation unless they can up
set the balance of the stagnant
atmosphere.
Cattle Buying to Increase.
With prospects for any notable i'm
provement of the burned range coun-
try extremely remote, an enormous
expansion of the Governments cattle
buying program is contemplated. it
was announced by Secretary of Agri-
culture Wallace. Already approximately
l 100000 animals have been purchased
to save them from death by thirst
and starvation and it now is proposed
to purchase from 1000 900 to 1000, 900.
A second noteworthy development
was the possibility of scrapping the
Bankhead act, providing for COM
pulsory reduction of the cotton crop.
With the killing drought headed in
the cotton regions of Texas and Okla
homa it is quite probable, although
as yet uncertain, whether the crop
will not be considerably less than the
0.460,251 bales permitted under the
act.
Many Transfers Planned.
Although DR.. Elwood Mead, COM
missioner of reclamation. was quoted
yesterday as saying it would be neces-
sary to move the proverty-stricken-
Ind in some instances starving
farmers from large areas of the
stricken Northwest, Department Of
Agriculture officials disclaimed any
intention of forcing anybody to move
Efforts will be made, however, to
persuade farmers to sell willingly their
worthless land to the Government
and move to sections where there is
better possibility of making a living.
1t was made known that several
thousand acres in the North Central
States already have been optioned by
the Government for purchase when
the titles are clear.
There is no compulsion," said DR..
H. r. Telley, head of the Farm Ad-
ministration's Planning Division but
If we did not think we could help
these people we would not be en-
deavoring to persuade them to leave.
The land is not suited to agriculture.
All they face if they stay is more
poverty and drought"
Although notable crcD reduction
has been accomplished by nature
through the spreading drought area,
Secretary Wallace insisted yesterday
that the Agriculture Adjustment Ad-
ministration's general effort to aid
the farmer will continue or there
will be disaster again. He considers

Of the heart Of the downtown district

tions to prevent parking within 76-

gers. and to forbid the gathering OF
crowds. They wore steel helmets and
carried rifles with fixed bayonets.
$500 Others Waiting.
The total strength of the Guard
within the city approximated i,200.
Some 1880 more men still remained
at the fair grounds. just outside the
city limits, ready for call.
Meanwhile, employers rejected a
suggestion that they reconsider the
refusal of peace terms advanced by
Federal mediators.
Reiterating their previous answer
they would not deal with Com
munists," the employers advised the
Rev. Francis Haas and e. II. Dun
nigan, mediators, they would not enter
into any arbitration with q wage scale
