THREATENS WAR
'ArmiStiCe' to End Feb. 28,
Leader Warns, Defying

By United Press

By CHtted Press
PARIS, Feb. 20.-Theo Habicht,
German leader of Austrian Nazis
confronted European political lead
ers today with threat of an early,
and grave, new crisis in the Aus
TRAN situation.
In a wireless speech broadcast
from Munich, not far from the
Austrian border, Habicht assumed
for himself the power of proclaim
ing peace or declaring war.
He announced that the thousands
of Austrian Nazis had been ordered
to observe an "armistice" in the
fight against Chancellor Engelbert
DollfuSs from noon today to noon
Feb. %.
Provided Chancellor Dollfuss did
not, during the "armistice" period,
reach a German" solution of the
Nazi dispute, Austrian Nazis would
renew their fight against him,
Habicht said.
The fact that the German gov
eminent at once forbade newspapers
to publish the speech, broadcast last
night, did nothing to diSsipate un-
easineSs.
Not only was Habicht's ultima
tum-like pronunciamento a def
ance of the allies declaration in ia
vor of Austrian independence, issued
only Saturday, but Habicht is a
German NaZi leader
