FOR PRESENT
Senate Gives In On Fight Over
McCarran Amendment After
Bitter Fight.
HUGE SUM APPROPRIATED
With Tomorrow Deadline For
Present Set-Up Congress
Agrees To Continue 1t.

WASHINGTON, Feb. a. UP
The senate today completed con-
gressional action on the $3.50 100000
relief bill, making it possible for
the CWA to meet this week S pay
rolls for nearly 100000 workers.
The senate, after receding from
the controversial McCarran amend
ment, defeated a motion to recon-
slider the partial conference report
which had been agreed to earlier in
The week.
The motion to reconsider, offer
ed by Senator Borah (Rep) Ida
ho, was rejected by AZ to Al.
The house, in accepting the re-
port of the CWA conferees after
passage of the original bills in
slightly different form in the two
houses, had refused to agree to
the McCarran amendment, which
provided for appointment of state
relief directors by the President and
their confirmation by the state.
The senate gave in on this.
Senator Borah attempted to gain
reconsideration of the other sec
tions of the report. He wanted to
reopen debate on the workers COM
pensation feature of the completed
bill and on the provision against
| using any of the S950,000,000 for
new federal projects.
Borah was defeated by last
minute surge of administration
votes.

DEATH TOLL
IN AUSTRIA
To Be HIGH
Fighting Continues Making Es-
innate OF 1000 Killed Mere
Guesswork.
By ROBERT ii. BEST

VIENNA, Feb 14.-CBy telephone
to London)-Slaughter of Social
lists continued on an appalling scale
today when the government relent-
lessly advanced its war to wipe
Socialism out in Austria
The United Press estimate of
] 900 dead appeared to be conServa-
tive but beyond that, any figures
must be guesswork. The most tragic
part was that many women and
children apparently were victims in
the shelling of crowded Socialist
apartment houses.
Ash Wednesday and st Valen-
tine IS day will long be remember
ed in the history of Vienna. Few
OF the devout braved the bullet-torn
streets to visit church and have
the traditional cross of ashes
marked on their foreheads.
The government forces, over
| Whelming the dauntleSs but poorly
equipped Socialists by artillery, su-
perior arms and military training.
seemed to be crushing the revolt
slowly, but it was a tedious and
sanguinary business.
Beginning today. and lasting
probably for days, the roll of dead
will be increased by the hanging of
Socialists who will be tried by court
martial under martial law and
sentenced to death for resisting the
government with arms.
! The heaviest fighting today was
at the great Leopoldau gas works
in the Florisdorf area across the
Danube, where many were killed
before government artillery forced
the besieged Socialists to run up
the white flag.
! Another desperate battle was
fought in Florisdorf in the siege of
the Geitenstade, huge Socialist
apartment house
Driven from stronghold after
stronghold, the Socialists invariably
took up new positions and resisted
stubbornly. Others were busy snip
ing in all parts of the city. In the
Jedlersee district, Socialists en-
trenched themselves and fought
ooggedly from behind large iror
garbage cans.

PROGRAM
To SUCCEED
PUBLIC WORKS

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA. U.P)-
President Roosevelt has created a
Committee within his cabinet to
draw up a program of long range
planning which will in time replace
the public works and provide per-
manent machinery for meeting &C.
onomic problems, it was revealed at
the White House today.
This cabinet committee, it was
said, would develop plans for a
permanent commission to study the
whole of the United States by wat
ersheds. to list projects in order OF
their Importance and to map out
q comprehensive program to eX-
tend over period of years.
The aim is to get away from the
hit and miss rivers and harbors and
other construction bills that have
been submitted from year to year
and which are not based on a def
mite planning program.
It is the general thought of the
administration to have the cabinet
committee submit report setting
forth the sope of the proposed
permanent commission. 1t would
deal first with means to prevent
damage to life and property by flood
waters and soil erosion.
Broad deconomic and social as
poets of land use also would be con-
sidered.
1t would be up to the commission
in this latter connection to deter
mine whether a given area should
be developed or abandoned, al
though it was pointed out the ad-
.ninistration has no intention of
shifting large masses of the popu-
lation from one part of the country
TO the other.

over the Socialists would be to
strengthen Dollfus, who, relieved of
radical opposition, would be able to
concentrate against the Nazis.
Fear Nazi Avalanche
On the other hand a menace is
seen in the possibility of a million
Austrian Socialists and trade un-
ionists, embittered by the holocaust
caused by the governments machine
guns and artillery, joining the Ma
ZiS.
AS in Germany, the Nazi snow
ball may become an avalanche
sweeping Dollfuss and the support
ing heimWehr national guards into
the dustbin, as Chancellor Hen
rich Bruening and Gen, Kurt Won
Schleicher were eliminated in Ger
many
Such a development would signi-
fly Hitler's replacement of Mussolini
as the dominent foreign influence
in Austria. A union of Germany and
Austria would extend Hitler sphere
of influence from the Baltic to
within 100 miles of the Adriatic. If
Hungary eventually were added, the
domain would almost surround
Czechoslovakia and would impinge
on Jugoslavia, Italy and Roumania,
throwing wedge across i..ddle
Europe which could not fail TO give
serious concern to France and Italy.
Some experts in international af-
fairs are convinced that France and
Britain would be helpless if Aus
tria goes Nazi, because Hitler could
affect respect for Austria's nomin-
al sovereignty while making sure Of
the closest collaboration between
the Nazi Brown Houses" of Vienna,
Berlin and Munich.
