NLNurrtEAL. 1883. OF NAA4NeA AN4aN
VIENNA. July 28.-RebeliOn con-
tinued 10 smolder throughout the
Austrian provinces today, but the
vigorous government Of Prince Won
Stahremberg appeared to have
smashed the main Nazi movement
and driven its most desperate back
ers into mountain Businesses. or
across the national borders.
Sporadic disorders, sniping, iso-
lated attacks by Nazis on customs
outposts. and an occasional foray
against towns in the Carinthian
province were reported, but the loyal
soldiery appeared to have complete
command of the situation.
A sensational development was
the alleged discovery, reported by
the police. of letters said TO have
originated in Germany and to have
been sent 10 Nazi leaders IN Carin-
thia. giving directions for a Nazi
mobilization and revolt to have
taken place at noon, July 20. pre-
Suma0ly TO follow up the expected
advantages of the previous days
assault on the government.
DOllfuSs Is Buried
Meanwhile. in the tense capital,
the martyred chancellor. Engelbert
DollfuSs. was accorded a funeral
which for majestic dignity fell little
short of the CcremOnials accorded
an emperor in death.
President Miklas and Prince Won
Stahremberg eulogized the victim
OF NaH bullets IN ringing speeches
which we're transmitted TO all
Austria by radio. and all work
ceased while the rites were in
progress.
President Miklas' concluding
words we're:
We will complete his task and
strive for a peaceful Austria and
peaceful world. MAY his last wish
for peace be fulfilled"
Using the familiar thou" which
marks an address TO a close friend
or a member of the family, Prince
Won Stahremberg said:
What thou were and still are
will not diet viii remain as long
as there is any Austria. In the
name of all Austrian comrades 1
swear eternal loyalty to thine ideals.
and swear to the last drop of my
blood that We will fight for an indie
pendent and a free Austria"
Crowd Packs Streets
A silent crowd packed the streets
for four blocks near the city hall.
In il were masSed members OF the
city church organizations. and hum
dredS Of students in brilliant uni
forms. The crowd had waited for
hours for the ceremonies to begin.
The DOlfuSs family-the peasant
father and neither of the little
chancellor. and Mrs DOllfuSS-
formed a pitiful abject group Of
mournerS as they stood. dOwncaSt,
before the bier.
At BIS p. m. when the speeches
were concluded. every church bell
in Vienna took mp a solemn dirGe.
Tue government maintained I'M
usual reserve regarding Chancellor
Adolf Hiller'S appointment of Baron
Franz Won Papen as special min
ister.tO Austria.
Hitler meant the appointment as
a peace gesture. apparently sin
Cere one. But 50 suspicious was the
government that. when the German
.1reien ONCE inquired whether Won
Papen would be persona grata. it
replied that there would be no de-
cision until the cabinet met next
week
Official circles said that before
accepting Won Papen. the govern
ment must be assured Hitler would
not again encourage the Austrian
Nazis. and that 1t would ask for
what approximate length Of time
Won Papen would remain.
