PRINCE WILL BE
 REAL DRIVER IN
 AUSTRIAN PACT
Tall, Handsome Chap to Back DOllfuss, HOw=
 ever in Leadership
BY HAROLD PETERS

Vienna, Feb. 16-UP) = Two men ruled Austria today - Chan cellor Engelbert Dollfuss, popular hero, and Prince Ernst Von Star hemberg, the power behind Doll fuss.
 The tiny, west pocket chan cellor," of peasant stock, and the tall, handsome prince, who noble ancestry is traced back nearly 800 years, worked to gether to make Austria fascist state.
 They represent a contrast that makes them an ideal working team. Dollfuss, courageous, elo- quent, tenacious, diplomatic, has become stronger during 21 months as chancellor. Starhemberg, blunt, leader of men, who like himself. don ot like politics or politicians, has in his Heimwehr storm troop CTS the strongest organized body in Austria.
 It ist becoming increasingly ob- vious that Starhemberg is the force driving. directly at a fascist state. In most of his speeches he is frank in his statement that he and the Heimwehr, or home guard, are behind Dollfuss just so long as he is for fascism.
 Dollfuss is feet II inches in height, Al, brown haired, gray eyed, mustached. He astonished his humble family and friends by emerging from the World War in the high caste Austrian army Q first lieutenant of Alpine, chasseur machine gunners and a, here.,-~.,
 Starhembt rg, who only today said that Nazism was repulsive to Austrians because of its brutality. was in at the firth of the Nazi movement.
 The 34 year old head of the great house of Starhemberg was just old enough to get into the army at the end of the war. Adolf Hitler, German Nazi leader. like Starhemberg, Is an Austrian by birth.

TWO DICTATORS
 TO RUN AUSTRIA FOR PRESENT
ChancellOr DOllfuss and Prince von Starhenlberg
 Run All Affairs
BY ROBERT H. BEST Tinted Press Stan Correspondent


 Vienna, Feb. 16-(UP)-Blood bathed revolution torn Austria headed again. toward fascist state hood today under the absolute dictatorship of Chancellor Dngel- bert Dollfuss and Prince Ernst Van Starhembeyg.
 The first of two epochal political fights had been won with the crushing of the socialists, after four days of fighting.
 The second impended. Austrian nazis, unreconciled, hoping to seize power, waited to strike.
 The anti-semitism of Germany was reflected today when the fas- cist steamroller began to crush representatives of various racial elements which for yearss have played prominent role in the so- ciaiisti domination of Vienna.
 The first move in the cleanup was arrests among Jewish social ists and certain persons of Czech blood or pro- Czech politicians who for more than a decade have been prominent in Austrian politics, having acquired Austrian citizen ship.

HARMONY RULES
CONTROL OFFICIALS
All Members Favor Strict
Regulation of Exchange
Gambling Elements.
BY J. r. BRACKETT,
press nuslness write

Associated Press BUSINESS WTlteI'
In contrast 10 the usual definite
split as between liberal" and con-
servative" on Government commits
sions, there appears to be little differ
ence of opinion among the members
of the Securities and Exchange Com
mission.
Developments may show such divi-
sion later. but at present all members
are on record as favoring strict con-
troll of gambling elements on the ex-
changes.
Reports that Joseph p. Kennedy,
the chairman, would speak for Wall
Street were followed by declaration
from him in which he condemned
gambling in the market.
George c. Mathews has pointed to
his past record as an advocate OF
strict regulation of the sale Of new
securities, and he indicated that opin-
ion held for securities after they were
listed on exchanges.
Robert E. Healy is described def
nitely as q foe Of manipulation. He
has had an unequaled opportunity to
examine the devices used by some
public utility companies, and he has
been free in condemning them.
The opinions of James M. Lands
and Ferdinand Pecora are compare
lively we'll known. Lands was prin-
cipal drafter of the securities act,
which has been both praised and
criticized as an example of strict
legislation. Pecora's critical attitude
toward the exchanges was made clear
during the stock market investiga-
tions
All members of the commission have
exactly equal power. Kennedy, as
chairman, has no more authority than
any other, and he told newspaper men
he had no intention of attempting to
usurp power.
officials were unwilling to guess
who might be the dominating mem
Der or members of the commission
There are not likely to be any steam
roller tactics. In technical operations
of this character, the most influential
member is likely to be he who knows
the most. Who this will be remains
to be seen.
