President To
View Naval
Station

HONOLULU, T. H., July ~
Radiating pleasure at the magnifi-
cent reception accorded him by
the entire $4,000 population Of
Honolulu, President Roosevelt
looked forward to an inspection
today of Pearl Harbor Naval
Base, which was started when he
was Assistant Secretary Of the
Navy.
Pearl Harbor is now the most
important naval link Of the
United States in the Pacific and
the Chief Executive is anxious
for a first-hand view of the de-
fense possibilities.
The President slept late today,
recuperating from continuous
round of fetes and receptions
which started at 9 a. m. yester-
day when he disembarked from
the U. S. S. Houston. He attended
a native feast as the guest of
Gov. Joseph B. Poindexter and
tasted his first mess Of poi, Ha-
waiian pastelike food which is
eaten with the fingers.
Mr.. Roosevelt derived keen
pleasure from the honorS heaped
upon him by natives and was
grateful for the visit of a group
of Samoan warriors, led by a
princess who journeyed from
Samoa to participate in the island
welcome to the President.
Native dancing girls, dressed in
bright colorS, greeted the Fresi-
dent at every stop .er route to
Schofield Barracks, in the center
of the island of Oahu, 20 miles
from HQuQlgilus where he reviewed
$4,000 troops Of the Hawaiian de!
partment, despite heavy showers
which penetrated under the
canopy of the reviewing stand.
The Chief Executive stood con-
tinuously for an hour and a half
during the review. Army airplanes
spelled out huge sky letters, "F.
r." for the final maneuver.
Dimes With Club
Returning to the city through
the vast pineapple plantations,
Mr.. Roosevelt stopped for a pic
mic with the Harvard Club of
Hawaii and to greet the baseball
team of his alma mater. The ball
team is en- route to Japan.
The President donned a red
and white baseball cap and smiled
at a good-natured razzing over his
recent acceptance Of an honorary
Yale degree.
The President was being closely
informed of developments in the
Austrian situation, but made no
comment.

tria, and terrorist activities which
precipitated the tragic events Of
Wednesday were renewed.
Heimwehr circles estimated that
the fighting which began with the
ill-fated attempted "putSch," in
which Chancellor Engelbert Doll
fuss was assassinated by NaziS,
had taken toll Of 1000 casual
ties throughout Austria. It was
not indicated how many of these
were dead and how many wounded.
80 Heimwehr Dead
A Heimwehr officer, however,
told this correspondent:
Cup to now there are 81 Heinz
wehr dead and about 20 mill

among the Nazis is now known
at present, undoubtedly before
the revolt is crushed through
out all Austria, more than 100
will be dead.
The governments decision to
impose the death penalty on ter

causes Of the Nazi revolt.

Hitler's move, as dramatic as it
was unexpected, was frankly in

today as a bid for the friendship
of the new Austrian regime and
as notice to Europe that Germany
has no sinister designs upon her
smaller neighbor. Everywhere the
news created a sensation, London
and Vienna papers issuing extra
editions.
Won Papen, it was learned to-
day, was suddenly summoned to
Bavaria from Switzerland late yes
terday to meet Hitler, who urged
him to accept the appointment
and then outlined the program he
desired him to pursue at Vienna.
He was the only non.Nazi in the
German government. Gen. Her.

Credited with skill. courage and

earthquake last year, thousands of

companies have been voted group

One group plaque was awarded

Under the menace of swaying
buildings, crashing windows, walls
and debris, many telephone girls
and men stuck to their posts con-
tinuously "a to 48 hours and long

remained on duty rs hours. Des-
pite mental strain during success

The impossibility of singing out
individuals for personal medals re-

of each company as winners OF
the group plaques. This is the first
time such a citation has been made
in the history of the National Vail
medals, which are memorial to

System president, and are given for
noteworthy public service by tele-
