SAN FRANCISCO, July IL. U.P)-
Bay city traffic was paralyzed to-
day as 1000 teamsters struck in
sympathy with maritime workers.
The strike, involving $500 union
drivers in San Francisco and 1900 in
Oakland, increased tension in the
shipping crisis here and created a
chaotic situation among wholesale
food dispensers.
With land and maritime ship
ping in the bay district both at a
virtual standstill armed guards
along the San Francisco waterfront
increased vigilance to prevent fur
ther outbreaks in the marine strike
that has gripped the Pacific coast
for more than two months.
Leaders of the Teamsters Union,
explaining the action, declared they
were walking out because non-union
teamsters had been employed to
move cargo from docks.
Fears of a food famine should the
latest walkout endure for lengthy
period were allayed in part by store
keepers who declared they had pre-
pared themselves for the strike with
a 30-day supply on hand.
Deliveries of meat, fruit, vege-
tables, liquor, furniture and gaso-
line from warehouses to stores were
impaired. Retail delivery trucks,
however, still rolled along the
streets.
In declaring strike the teamSters
permitted the hauling of food and
fuel supplies to hospitals and fire
departments.
With the prospects of a fuel
shortage, even retail delivery trucks,
now operating on the present sup
ply, were expected to come to a
standstill. Although a three day
supply was reported by many fill
ing stations, a stampede of motor
lists to fill up was expected to drain
the tanks.
Trucks Attacked
Violence, although isolated, flar-
ed early. Two trucks were attacked

RADIO MUST

WASHINGTON, July II UP
False radio advertising was the cb-
ject today of a sweeping cleanup
drive by the federal trade commits
sion.
More than a dozen radio adver-
tisers. the United Press learned,
have been cited for hearings next

AUSTRIA
AND GERMANY
MAY BREAK
Crisis In Diplomatic Relations
Seen As Aftermath Of Recent
Executions.
By ROBERT III. BEST
United Press Staff Correspondent


VIENNA, July IA new crisis in
relations between Austrian and Ger
many which may end in an open
diplomatic breach was threatened
today.
Chancellor Englebert Dollfuss, it
was said on reliable authority, has
tened cabinet reorganization that
he might recall his minister to Ger
many without formally breaking re-
laticns. A source equally well in
formed said the German minister
had been ordered by Berlin to be
prepared to leave Austria at any mo-
ment.
Even government officials were
puzzled at the full implications of
the little chancellor's sudden reor-
ganization Of his cabinet.
1t was known he planned a drive
against Nazis and it was reported
that attention would be paid to
Socialists and Communists also.
There was doubt at first whether
the ppoin t ment Of Stephan
Tauschnitz, minister to Germany, as
under-secretary of foreign affairs
was done in order to withdraw him
leaving only charge daffairs to
run the legation-or whether Doll
fuss wanted him, an expert in Aus
trian-German relations, at hand so
as to seek approchement with
Germany.
Today it was said relations were
increasingly strained because of the
bloody suppression of the storm
troop revolt in Germany.
Angered BY Action
In withdrawing Tauschnitz, it was
said Dollfuss wanted to register his
disapproval of Nazi methods, espe-
cially as they affected Catholics.
DollfuSs himself is an unusually
devout Catholic. Many of his poll
tical acts are bound up with his de-
votion to his church.
These reports would indicate that
in killing Heinrich KlauSener, head
of the German Catholic Action par
ty, the Nazis opened source of
potential trouble.
1t has already been reported from
Rome that the Vatican planned to
take official interest in Klausener's S
fate, and-if no spontaneous expla-
nation was forthcoming-to inquire
as to the manner of his death and
whether his body was cremated.
The German legation refused to
discuss the report that its minister
had received orders to be ready to
leave Austria.
