Coins Issued.
Twenty federal employees who we're
reported to have cried Hell Hitlerl"
when they we're captured at the
chancellory by the Nazi raiders last
Wednesday were said TO be among
those who got no pay checks.
The government placed another
economy into effect with the issuance
OF new 5-schilling silver coins
worth approximately 81, United
States currency to Supplant B..
schilling notes. The notes required
gold coverage, but the coins do not.
A detachment OF the Heimwehr to-
day raided the fiat of the chief cor

news agency in a search for incrim-
mating documents. The correspond
ent himself has gone to live in the
German Legation.
The man described by Adam as
having carried plans of the Austrian
putsch was said to have had Ger
man passport in the name of Franz
Heel The NaziS involved were not
named, but were referred to as 'our
people"
Heimwehr Plot Revealed.
A scarcely less sensational revela-
ton came from Franz Winkler, for
mer vice president in the DollfuSs re-
gime, interviewed in Czechoslovakia.
He said a radical plan to overthrow
the DollfuSS dictatorship already had
been worked out by the Fascist Helm
wehr when the Nazi putch upset all
reckoningS.
Winkler vigorously denied to an AS
sociated Press reporter that he had
been approached by the putschists or
knew Of their plans.
IT knew, of course, that plans were
being made by Nazis in various Sec
tions of the country to overthrow the
government. but any one who had his
eyes open could see that" he said.
However, also knew that much
more radical plan to overthrow the
DollfusS dictatorship had been worked
out by the Heimwehr. ! knew very
well that Heimwehr leaders had sub
mitted plans to Nazi leaders to this
effect A matter of fact they had
many secret meetings together.
VIII Appear on Stand.
IF Rintelen should recover from
his wounds he will have lots to say
in this connection. In due time l
will appear myself on the witness
stand with regard to the matter.
Wednesdays. putsch was a very
foolish interruption of a ripening of
the fruit which meant the natural
death of the DollfuSs regime"
