The New Deal in Austria.

Austria has its third chancellor
within a week. Sunday saw the
definite appointment Of DR.. Kurt
schuschnisg as head Of newly con-
stiuted government. in succession 10
Prince Won starhemberg, who func-
toned as acting chancellor during the
grim days following the assassination
OF DR.. DollftiS. Having fulfilled the
emergency purpose OF a strong man
during the interregnum, Prince Star
hemberg, leader Of the Fascist Helm
wehr army, reverts to his former rank
OF vice chancellor and leader OF the
country's entire security organization.
Though thus no longer in supreme
political position, Starhemberg re-
mains the most powerful figure, in a
military sense, with all potent au-
thority while Austria continues to be
racked by civil war and unceasing
Eazi intrigue.
Chancellor Schuschnigg is an un-
compromising anti-Nazi an ardent
devotee Of Dollfu& policies and a re-
puted monarchist. In his alleged in
clinations toward restoration of the
Hapsburgs lies Europe's chief interest
in the new molder Of Austria's des-
TIMES. Any move to place the young
pretender, Prince Otto, on the throne
of his ancestors would be certain to
precipitate protest both at home and
from abroad, despite some belief that
in q return of the monarchy is the
country's main hope of salvation.
But the paramount issue on the
distracted Danube is the continuing
menace of German Nazi domination.
Born of anxiety on that score is the
circumstantial report that Italy,
France and possibly Great Britain are
now considering stern representations
TO Hitler on the question of German
interference in Austria. 1t is alleged
in the same connection that the
Western powers may demand thai
Hitler's army of Storm Troops and his
private black-Shirt Schultz Staffel
guard be diSbanded as evidence Of his
pacific purposes in general, and toward
Austria in particular.
How skeptical Vienna remains OF
the purity of Hitler's intentions is
manifested by the delay in proclaim
ing the acceptability Of Col. Won
Papen as special German envoy to
Austria. Despite Won Papen's anti
Nazi reputation and ardent Catholi-
cism. the new rulers of Austria plainly
suspect an ulterior motive In Hitler's
dispatch OF his vice chancellor on a
mission Of good will" and "concilia-
ton" Vienna will hardly be reassured
by stories current in Berlin that one

1hblOklo ID CCocdb4OAl Va POASSSN
ton" and Imprisonment of Nazis in
Austria. To the Western powers
rumor attributes the purpose Of pro-
testing Won Papen's appointment.
In q dozen directions the Austrian
situation is stin beclouded with un-
certainty and perils. Vienna is heavily
guarded against the danger OF an
other desperate NsEi putSch. Out Of
the chaos and anxiety looms only
one cryStal-clear development-that a
Europe torn by many other differences
presents a united front on one
cardinal score, namely, that Hitlerism
must remain penned within the con-
fines Of Germany and not be permit
ted, by spillinG over into Austria, to
spread its maleyolent influence be-
yond the borders Of the Reich.

Signs multiply that the Republicans
are going to the country this Fall
with the vast cost of the new deal as
their paramount campaign issue.
Hitherto they have been streSsing
back to the Constitution, dictator
ship" and bureaucracy as battle
cries. There is increasing evidence
that the people, practically for the
first time since the new deal gener-
ated popular enthusiasm, are ponder
ing earnestly and anxiously the ques-
ton of who's going to pay the piper,
and how. Steadily it is dawnlng on
even ardent Roosevelt admirers that
the colossal bill for printing the pump
of prosperity must somehow be foot
ed, and that the ones who have to do
it are the taxpayers. g. o. P. scouts
report such mounting concern over
this phase of recovery that the Re
publican drive for increased strength
in Congress may be expected to stress
1t more and more as the campaign
proceeds. The bogey of higher taxes
has been an effective political scare
crow since time immemorial.

In addition to a review of current
recovery progress with administrative
officials, President Roosevelt's few
days at the White House in August
are expected, among other things, to
result in laying the groundwork of
the legislative program for the Janu-
airy session of Congress. Conferences
with party leaders and other advisers
are on the schedule for that purpose
F. D. RS plans for social security
laws, including unemployment and
old age insurance, will have a con-
spicuouS place in the discussions.

Waterbury Man Won His Case and Wants the

Hartford, Conn, March 23-(UP) Connecticut dairy farmers. Ions at odds with the state milk con trol board over enforcement of ar equalization plan" to distribute the surplus milk burden, today had won their first major tilt with tho board in obtaining a permanent in. Junction against enforcement o1 the regulation.
 The milk board, acting prompt ly on decision of Superior. Court Judge Newell Jennings late yester- day, convened in special session and revoked the equalization plan ruling, voted to refund payments made to the fund and started re- vision of its quota plan.
 Judge Jennings, delivering 8 decision from the bench at the conclusion of a seven day hearing ruled the board had exceeded its authority in esta ablishing the plan
 ''If it is going to stay in effect for a year." Judge Jennings said 1t would mean that some $600.0O( would be transferred from the pockets principally of these plain tiffs into the pockets of those pro ducers whom the milk board feel' are entitled to receive money.
 ''It does not seem to me that tht board has this legal power and il also seems to me that to carry out the act is impractical. am satis' fled from the evidence that in the case of a large number{of jndividu. als it would be impossible for then to raise the money, the cash, tc make the payments required under

By FREDERICK A. STORM United Press Stan Correspondent


 United Press Stan Correspondent
 Washington, Mar 23-(UP)-
 Some automobile union leaders ex- pressed belief today that President Roosevelt would issue an order to meet the strike crisis by requiring new workers elections in motor plants.
 There was no immediate confir-
 nation of this. * Elections have
 been a primary demand of the un- ions.
 Both union leaders and manu- lecturers were entrenched In their respective headquarters awaiting expected calls to further, confer ences with President Roosevelt or Recovery Administrator Hugh 5. Johnson. The labor leaders and manufac- turers said they were awaiting word from the administration. l. The White House said MT Roose- welt was standing by" awaiting plans from them for further con- ferences.
 The White House explained that the president was making few en- agreements and to keep himself available should either or s both sides ask for another hearing. The White House added that there were no overnight develop ments in the situation that 1t had been advised of and no reports had | yet been received by MT Roosevelt from Johnson, the manufacturers or the labor leaders. -------- -tls} lContinued on Page. 2.l

BANDITS STEAL
 $26,000 PAYROLL
 OF SHOE FACTORY
Five of Them Got Away With Loot in BrOckton
 This Morning

Brockton, Mass, Mar 23-(U.P.) Five highwaymen, armed with sub-machine gun, sawed off shot guns and revolvers, waylaid a bank car in a busy industrial district in daylight here to-day and escaped with a $26,O00 shoe factory pay roll without firing a shot.
 Four of the bandits wore hand kerchief masks, while the fifth, driver of the escaped car, wore smoked glasses.
 The holdup-No in series of bank fund robberies which have netted nearly $140,000 loot in Massachusetts during the last six months-was engineered with such celerity and precision that authori. ties listed it as a professional job".
 The stolen payroll was being talk on from the Home National bank in the business district to the Dia- mond Shoe company's plant in the north end industrial section known as "the village.
 It was the first major holdup in the state since the arrest of the Faber-Millen gang of alleged kill er-bandits now awaiting trial on charges of murdering two police- men in a bank holdup at nearby Needham.
 In Heart of City
 The bank car, a sedan driven by Clarence Lunam and guarded by Stanley Rogers, was travelling along Ames street and had almost reached its destination when, shortly before 10 a. ,m.. the driver saw his path blocked by Pack ard sedan.

DE VALERA ANGRY
 OVER HIS DEFEAT
Senate Against Him and
 He May Call People '.~.'- to Election

Dublin, March 23 - (U,P) President Eamonn De Valera, thor oughlv enraged at senate defeat or his bill to ban the wearing or plue shirts by citizens of the Irish Free State, was believed to-day to be considering a general election or which the chief issue would pc either abolition of the senate or its emasculation.
 After the senate defeat of the blue shirt bill, aimed at General owen O'Duffys fascists who wore the shirts in defiance of govern ment pronunciamentos and courts martial, De Valera promptly intro duced a bill to abolish the senate itself.
 It was expected. naturally, that the senate would defeat this bill also. Under the constitution it may prevent passage of legislation for IS months. after which the lower house is able to pass bill without senate consent.
 De Valera, if he called the cleo ton, was expected to make his ls- sue abolition of the senate's veto power if not abolition of the sen ate itself.
