Armed Guardsmen Seize City

NEW ORLEANS, La, July 81
G.N.SO.-With armed National
Guard troops in possession OF
the city registrars office, the
mailed fist of United States Sen
ator Huey P. Long descended to-
day as the "Kingfish's" latest puni-
tive measure in his political war
with the "Old Regulars" led by
Mayor A. SemmeS Walmsley.
Partial Martial Law"

declared by Adjutant General
Raymond H. Fleming, leader OF
the raid on the registrars Of
flee, to protect the office from
insult or intimidation"
The registrars office houses
the books containing names OF
voters eligible to participate in
the September primary in which
candidates sponsored by both fac
tions are entered.
Mayor Walmsley, informed OF
the martial law proclamation, de
scribed the proceeding as ian
opera bouffe performance"
It was reported in official
circles that the raid was a coup
to prevent the city administration
from seizing the registration rolls
through court action. A new law
which will prevent such legal
maneuver goes into effect tomor-
row.
Guard Fully Armed
The guardsmen,s q score in
number, fully armed nd In uni
form, forced entrance INTO the
registration office last night and
today apparently were prepared
for an indefinite occupation.

building, keeping persons with
out specified business a block
away. None of the men would
discuss the raid, and newspaper
men were ordered to keep away.

by INTERNATIONAL NOWO 6eENNO
Uncle Sam spent more than a
half billion dollars this month,
the first month of the 1885 fiscal
year although the rate of the
outlay of public money was
lower than in any of the preced-
ing six months, the Treasury
disclosed today.
OF the spending program $685.
100000 was for emergency pur-
poses, compared with $75,352. 700
for July, 1888, while 1928, ,409,-
600 was for general costs against
$195,617,90O.

January, $98O,57e 900; Febru-
ary, $685., 1921, 900; March, $780,
$4,000; April, $974,422,000;

j. {. IN MOVE
To GUST REDS
By International News Service

By International News Service
The State Department has moved
to rid the United States of un-
desirable Russian aliens, includ-
ing Communist agitators, it was
learned today.
American Ambassador William
C. Bullitt at Moscow has been in
structed to seek an agreement
with the Soviet government pro-
viding for the deportation Of un'
desirable Russians to their home
land.
The Department of Labor, which
has charge of alien deportation,
has suggested to the State De-
partment that Walter w. HuS-
band, former Assistant Secretary
of Labor during the Hoover and
Coolidge administrations, be sent
to Moscow as assistant in charge
of immigration questions.
There is no present way Of re-
turning Russian citizens to their
native land, even if they are
found to be in this country lille
gally. Under International law, it
is necessary to obtain the con-
sent of the deportee'S native coun-
try before he can be deported.
During the 16 years of American
non-recognition of the Soviet
regime, this Government was not
in a position to make any diplo-
matte approach to Moscow con-
cerning undesirable aliens.

NEUDECK, Germany, July 81
UN.SO.-President Paul Won Hin

battle with death late this after
noon though hope had been
abandoned for his recovery and
the end was believed to be only
a matter of a few hours.
An official bulletin issued at

Professor Sauerbrucn, one of the

Hitler on Ground
Chancellor Hitler and Dr.
Joseph Paul Goebbels, minister
of propaganda, arrived here by
plane from Bayreuth, Bavaria,
at Ais this afternoon and drove
Immediately to the chancellory.
Hitler and Goering Immediately
summoned those cabinet officers
who are still in Berlin.
It was understood the question
of the succession to the presi
dency in the event of Won Hin
denburg's death was under dis
cussion.
Theoretically the chief justice
of the Reich, DR.. Erwin Bumke
would become acting president
upon Hindenburg's death, pend
ing election of a new president
but it is believed he would immed
lately delegate the presidential
duties to Hitler. >a

In case Hitler took over the presi

he would call elections, though he
might later order some sort of a
referendum to indorse his move in
taking over the office as Reich's
leader, thus elevating himself to a
position something similar to that
of an American president.
After an informal conference

OTHER NAZ|S
MAY ESCAPE
EXECUTION
152 More Face Treason Trial;
Vienna Quiet, Although
Revenge Is Feared
By ALFRED TRYNAUER

BY ALFRED IhHNAOEn
VIENNA, July 81 G.N.S9-Otto
Planetta and Franz Holzweber
were executed today.
They were hanged within three
hours after q court martial had
found Planetta guilty of the MUIR
der of the late Chancellor Engel-
bert Dollfuss and Holzweber guilty
of high treason.
The men were hanged at 4:25
o'clock. They had been found
guilty shortly after 1870 o'clock.
Mercy Pleas Denied
The sentences we're carried out
after President Wilhelm MiklaS
had refused their plea for Glenn
ency. Since there was no appeal
from a court martial verdict,
presidential pardon was their only
hope for life.
Although Planetta and Holz-
weber were the first of the Naz1
rebels to die, 152 other NaziS ar
rested since the beginning of the
attempt to otherthrow the Doll
fuss government by force, face
trial by military tribunal. All Aus
tria, and most of the rest OF the
world, was waiting to learn
whether death also would be the
fate of these other rebels.
Holzweber was the first to die
on the hangman's gibbet. His
death struggle lasted seven min
utes. Planetta was hanged i'm
mediately afterward.
Both Men Silent
Neither 81 tile condemned men
made any statement as they went
to the ga1loWs. Each had been
permitted to see his wife for a
brief moment of farewell.
Only officials were admitted to
the courtyard where the death
sentences were carried out.
Planetta's wife was on the verge
of a breakdown as her husband
went to his death. From room
in the court building where the
trial was held, to which she was
escorted by Planetta's lawyer
after bidding him farewell, her
voice could be heard, crying his
terically:
"Why have you done this?
Why do you make two families
unhappy"
The execution of Planetta and
Holzweber cliInaxed a week of
bloody strife that swept through
out all of Austria. AS they went
to their death, Vienna and the
country were quiet. Some thought
the quiet ominously portentiouS of
new trouble if the NaZis carry out
their threats to revenge the deaths
of their comrades.
Meet Death Calmly
Planetta's counsel, DR.. Emanuel
Braunegg, gave International
News Service details of the last
hours of the two doomed men.
He said.
"BOth PIanetta and Holz-
weber were calm. Only when
their wives came to the death
cell both broke down and wept
together.
"HOlzweber told his wife to
give his son a good religious
education and make a man out
of him. When asked whether
they wanted religious comfort
before death both accepted.
Planetta was a Catholic and
HOlZweber a Protestant.
"Clergym n accompanied
them to the gallOwS and stood
beside them and prayed. 1
couldn't stand the sight and ran
away"
Planetta had confessed that he
fired the shots which killed Aus
tria's "martyred chancellor" Be
fore the military court, presided
over by Gen. Albert Oberweger,
