Nazis Seen Waiting
Time for a Coup

VIENNA, Feb. 16 G.N.S0.-The
tide Of civil war was rapidly ebb-
ing in Austria today. But the tide
of factional turmoil, with a Nazi
government looming large in the
offing, was rising.
Surrender Of materials Of war
by the insurrectioniSts continued
today. The police said $50 ma
chine guns, 1000 rifles, 10000
rounds of ammunition and many
hand grenades have been deliv-
cred to Vienna police stations.
But guerilla warfare continued.
MOnarchiSts Active
Meanwhile, Vienna was wonder
ing what political future is in the
making. That government changes
are imminent was not questioned.
Most active in the political field
was Prince Ernst Rudiger Won
Starhemberg, leader of the Helm
wehr, Austria's counterpart Of the
FasciStS. Scarcely less active was
Emil Fey, vice chancellor in the
government Of Chancellor Engel-
bert Dollfuss. Prince Starhemberg
and Herr Fey held a secret con-
ference last night.
Herr Fey never has concealed
his feeling that restoration Of the
Hapsburg monarchy would be for
the best interests Of Austria.
Prince Starhemberg, whose Helm
wehr has supported the regime Of
Chancellor Dollfuss, favors a FaS-
cist state.
Heimwehr were concentrating
in Vienna and there also were ev-
licences of increased activity in
monarchiSt circles.
Nazis Cautious
Meanwhile the Austrian NaziS
continued to hold aloof, as far as
any surface conditions were con-
cerned.
It was believed the Nazi tactics
contemplated no interference with
factional struggles until the op-
perfume moment arrives. Then. 1t
was believed-and this is the de-
velopment ultimately expected
the NaziS would engineer a revolu'
tionary coup that would give them
control Of the country.
Prince Starhemberg demands a
reorganization of the present
regime, particularly in the prov
inceS. It is understood he has
demanded immediate dismissal Of
the Agrarian governor Of Carin-
thia and the substitution Of q
member Of the Heimwehr as COM
missioner. :,

Tuesday Vote Seen
It was thought possible that the
final Senate vote on the bill might
not come until Tuesday, since
lengthy debate on several sections
iS expected.
Yesterday the Senate completed
consideration Of all sections OF the
measure except those regarding
the pay cnt, veterans relief, that

and that supplying funds for the

The Civil Service Commission

U. S. Plans Aid
To AirpIane Lines

Although the Governments ex-
perience with air mail subsidies,
judging from the recent cancella-
ton of contracts, was far from
satisfactory, reports were current
today that the Administration is
considering providing direct fl
nancial aid to aviation to encour-
age the pasSenger-carrying branch
Of the industry.
It was understood that this
would be on the basis Of the ocean
mail subsidies, which have also
been subject to severe criticism
and, according to Senate discloS-
ureS, have resulted in some high
ly unpleasant developments. The
proposed direct subsidies, it was
said, would answer charges that
abrogation of the mail contracts
was q blow at the industry.

INSIDE LEAK
ON AIR STOCK
IS PROBED
Exchange Quizzes Members to
Learn Firms That Profited
When Crash Hit Market

NEW YORK, Feb. 16 GN.S) .
In an effort to find out who
profited from the recent collapse
in the aviation stocks following
the cancellation of the air mail
contracts, the New York Stock
Exchange today moved to in
vestigate all sales of these shares
in the period from January 26
to February 8.
Reports have been current in
Wall Street for some time that
insiders and politicians profited
from advance information on the
drastic action. It is to prove or
disprove these persistent reports
that the stock exchange has
acted.
QUESTIONABLE Sent Members
A QUESTIONABLE requesting the
information was sent today to
all member firms at the order Of
the exchanges business conduct
committee.
The QUESTIONABLE follows:
"The business conduct com.
mittee requires that members
furnish by noon, February 19, q
list of all sales made during the
period January 26, 1894, to Feb
ruary 8, 1884, the names Of
members or firms with whom
the sales were made and of the
customers for whom the orders
were executed.
"The above information is re-
queSted with relation to Avia-
tiOn Corporation Of Delaware

Cancelled On Friday
The air mail contracts were can
celled by the orders Of Postmaster
General Farley last Friday, Feb
ruary 8, right after the close Of
the New York market, but before
the close in San Francisco.
The air stocks were weak Friday
on rumors Of the action, but on
Saturday crashed. United Aircraft
that week broke $12.75, failing
from $32.25. Aviation Corpora
ton dropped $3.371z from $9.87R.

STOCK MARKET
CURB ASKEDOF
CONGRESS
Reserve Board Director Urges
Regulation as Guard

Nv international News Service


Congressional legislation to regu.
late stock exchanges was urged
today by DR.. i. A. GoldenweiSer,
research director of the Federal
Reserve Board, who told the House
Interstate Commerce COMMITTEES
that experiences in recent years
demonstrated the need for a curb
on stock gambling.
DR.. Goldenweiser said he was
speaking for himself and not the
Reserve Board. He added:
"A stock exchange boom en-
cOurages Over-expanSion Of
plants and of the luxury-g0OdS
market. 1t increases expendi-
lures of those prOfiting. The
capital market rises up and
then, when the slump comes,
it goes further than it should"
Tracing the consequences Of
the 1929 boom, he said credit
was diverted from small to large
industries, and that banking diff
culties of the nation were directly
attributable to the boom. He
declared:
"In the middle Of 1881 there
was clear evidence that busi-
ness was about to turn upward
when the banking crisis de-
velOped and delayed recovery
for a year to q year and q half.
"The necessity for banks to
unload their stocks in q falling
market destroyed values, which
in turn destroyed banks"
DR.. Goldenweiser, however,
urged modification Of the regu-
latory bill so that it will not
restrict outstanding bank credit,

Living Cost Increase
Cited by Pay Champion

Living costs have risen more
than 10 per cent.
That is the contention Of Rep
Hesentative Millard D. Caldwell
D), Of Florida, and one reason
why he favors full restoration o1
Federal pay.
In explanation, he says:
"DeSpite published reports
and surveys, I firmly believe
living costs have risen at least
10 per cent and even higher
for some commodities.
"That is why 1 am unqueS-
tiOnably in favor Of the pro-
posed Senate amendment to
the Independent office supply
bill and why I'm urging the
Administration further to Hber-
alize its attitude toward Gov
ernment employees.

Chicago cemeteries are not dead,
Cook County Coroner Frank J.

operations of "a syndicate of ghouls.
Walsh charged that a powerful

The ghouls dig up newly buried
