VIENNA, Aug. Fascist Aus
tria charged Nazi Germany today
with direct completely in the bloody
revolt that took the life of Chan
cellor Engelbert Dollfuss.
The charge was made on the
basis of coded documents found in
the shirt and shoes of Franz Heel.
secret courier, arrested on his
way from Munich, headquarters of
the German Nazi party and Aus
trian Nazis refused in Germany.
Col. Walter Adams, minister of
propaganda, in radio speech,
said the documents showed the
German government was connected
with the revolt.
One document, half deciphered
by government code experts, said:
ut follows Rintelen." There fol-
lowed several undeciphered words
and then: "Rintelen arrested. There
will not be any more new SAM
Piles of table service" Government
experts believed table service
meant arms.
Anton Rintelen was Austrian
Minister to Italy, a trusted aide
of Dollfuss. Evidence that he con-
spired with Nazis caused his ar
rest. He shot himself. Yesterday
he was removed to a prison hos
pital and was retired along with
other prominent officials on two
thirds of the normal civil SER
vice pension.
Orders Explained
In the shoes of the arrested
courier, police found long instruc-
tions providing that if the Dollfuss
government fell the Nazis should
give the password summer fes-
tival." This. it was said in ex-
PLANTATION, would mean an organ
ized, uniformed march on govern
ment and communications buildings
in each district, but with arms
concealed under the uniforms.
If the government opposed the
Nazi coup, the instructions pro-
vided, the password should become
automatically prize shooting with
Italian night" which would mean
that the Nazis should openly use
their arms.
Heel, it was said. received the
documents at Passau. on the Ger
Austrian frontier, with in
structions to take them to Linz
and leave them at the general post
office with an agent.
The instructions listed nine
points in all, the last of which said
that if any Nazis were sentenced
to death all Nazis were instructed
to make quick rescue.
1t was announced that Pope
Plus, complying with request of
Dollfuss' widow, approved plan to
disinter his body later and rebury
it along with that of former Chan
cellor Ignatz Seipel in the Seipel
memorial chapel now under con-
struction.
