ATTEMPT IS MADE
ON STARHEMBERC
Discovery of Bomb in Chan
ceIIory CIimaxes Night
of Terrorism.

BY the Associated Press.
VIENNA, June ga night Of de-
structive terrorism was topped on
today with the discovery of a bomb
in the chancellory above the Offices
of Prince Ernst Won Starhemberg, vice
chancellor.
The bomb. concealed in a desk In
an unused office, was found by acci-
dent" the authorities said and was
a signal for increased police protec-
ton for all public buildings.
Railroads Damaged.
The attempt against the vice chal-
cellor followed bombings in various
sections of Austria, with heavy dam
age to railroads, power plants and
other property.
Prince Won Starhemberg several
times previously has had narrow es-
capes from bombings and other vio-
lence, as have Chancellor Engelbert
Dollfuss and Emil Fey, former vice
chancellor.
The outbreak last night and today
indicated that opposition elements are
not greatly disturbed by DollfusS' de-
crees making use of explosives and
destruction of public property a capi-
tai offense.
Nazis Blamed.
Terrorism has continued at inter-
walls ever since the decree was issued,
and the Fascist government has at
tributed most of the outrages to Nazi
opposition elements
Damage by bombs last night and
and today included wrecking of the
turbines of the electric power plant
at Bregenz, paralyzing electric train
service in parts of Vorarlberg, and
destruction of telephone lines near
st. Johann.
Railroad service in various sections
of the country was crippled as tracks
and bridges were blown up.
The Vienna -Salzburg- Paris express
train barely missed disaster as a
bridge was blown up 10 minutes in
front of it at Viecklaruck.
Anti -Semites' Invited.
A political development VIII h
caused considerable comment today
was the publication of an advertise
ment in the Weltblatt, official news
paper of Dolfuss party, inviting
"anti-Semites" to attend garden
party Of the German Austrian union
a week from tomorrow.
Surprise was expressed that the ad-
vertisement got past the censorship.
Considerable alarm was expressed
over the probable effect of the rail-
road bombings on Austria's important
foreign tourist business.
An example is necessary" said
the Weltblatt. Let's hang some OF
these perpetrators"
In other quarters, however, consid-
cradle doubt was expressed that the
DollfuSs government would use the
death penalty against political enemies,
the belief prevailing that such action
would result in more extended dis
orders.

Dill Declares Communica.
tions Measure Does Not
Impinge.

Assurances were given in the Sen
ate yesterday by Senator Dill. Demo-
crat, of Washington, that the new
Federal communications bill for the
regulation Of radio, telephone and
telegraph business will not interfere
with the powers Of the District Pub
lie Utilities Commission on ques-
tions OF local regulation.
Just before the conference report
on the communications bill was
adopted, Chairman King Of the Sen
ate District Committee asked Dill
whether there was anything in the
agreement Of the conferees that would
restrict powers Of the District COM
mission.
House Recedes.
Senator Dill said there was moth
ing that would seriously restrict the
local commission, unless possibly it
be the question of telephone ex-
changes connecting with States. He
said Senator King probably was ap-
prehenSive over certain definitions
that were in the House bill, but ex-
planned the House had receded on
those provisions.
With this assurance, Senator King
withdrew his objection to the report.
Roberts Praises Notifications.
The notifications made in the
measure to preserve all Of the powers
of the local utilities commission are
of greatest importance to the Dis
trict, William A. Roberts. peoples
counsel, said last night. He said the
act not only restricts the Federal
Commission in its control over local
or intrastate rates. but provides that
the Federal agency shall have no
jurisdiction over charges for local
exchange service, even when passing
over State bounds, provided that the
service Is regulated by local author
ity.
There is every reason to expect large
operating economies in the communi-
cations industry. greatly improved
service and substantial savings to
consumers if adequate appropriations
are made for enforcement, Roberts
said.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. June 9.-The
Arkansas Power & Light Co., headed
by Harvey c. Couch of the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation, today
announced a reduction of electric
rates for 200 cities and towns of the
State.
The reduction followed a report OF
the State fact-fnding tribunal, rec
ommending reduction of 10 per cent
in rates charged at Stuttgart, Ark,
although the power company state
ment issued by its general manager,
Frank M Wilkes. contended the find

The company's action today brought
all of COUGHS utility companies-in
Louisiana and Mississippi, as well as
Arkansas-on record for rate reduc-
tions. decreases having been made in
the other two States recently.
Wilkes estimated the reduction
would amount to $255,o0o for the

Mr.. A. TO CHANGE
POLICY GRADUALLY
Johnson Says Negotiations
Will Precede Abolition
of Price Fixing.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Despite new declaration OF policy
against price fixing in codes, it was
made clear yesterday that N. r. A.
would move slowly in making the pro-
gram effective.
The disturbance in coded industries
caused by initial announcement of the
administration decision caused Hugh
S. johnson to hasten to say that moth
ing would be done without negotla-
tions with the code authorities, and
then carefully.
Except for such negotiations and
with the added qualification that no
change will be suggested without par
ticular relation to the particular con-
ditlOns in that industry" Johnson in
sisted that the policy applied to future
codes.
Future Codes Few.
Few of these are to come, since
N. r. A. has decided to put all the
little industries remaining. nearly 500
of them under a general code until
they can be worked into group codes
for allied lines
great pressure from a number of in
dustrieS. brought a reaction of strong
disappointment to the consumer
groups and others who had applauded
the policy announcement. Privately
many said that it appeared the eX-
PLANTATION interpreted the policy half
out of existence.
johnson hopes. however. to negotl-
ate virtually throughout industry. an
elimination of provisions for open
price reporting, which may make for
collusive bidding artificial and un-
warranted stabilization, or domination
OF an industry by big plants.
Provisions of Policy.
The policy calls for neutral, con-
fldential reporting agencies, elimina-
ton of the We or ten day period OF
posting before a price becomes effec-
tive, the right to reduce prices i'm
mediately and increase them on 4e
hours notice.
Of the first 400 codes approved by
N R. A, 2l3 have some open price
provision. and Ill declare a waiting
period. but more than a third of the
latter have been suspended.
The outright ice-fixing provisions
are much fewer. though an over
vhelming number OF codes prohibit
sales below cost.
Two hundred and sixty three manu-
featuring industries codes contain
minimum price provisions, $50 base
the minimum price on cost. only one
allows the code authority to fix a fair
minimum price. subject to N. R. A
approval. and 206 distinctly make this
minimum cost that of the individual
manufacturer, l9 more indicating the
same thing. Sixteen carry a variety
of ideas, average, lowest representative
cost of lowest producer, fair and rea-
sonable lowest reasonable cost.
More thorough price-fixing provi-
sions exist in the natural resource
codes, lumber. oil and bituminous
coal. while the trade codes, wholesale
and retail, generally provide for mini
rum prices fixed on individual cost
plus labor allowance.
These probably will be left alone
The grocers code authority said the
new price policy more firmly imbeddeo
into N. R. A. fundamentals the anti
chisler" price projections OF then
pact.
The others will get close scrutiny
and probably will be amended largely
on the basis of consumer complaints.
