 May Study Recovery
 Although his plans are indefi- mite, it is believed the President after returning to the mainland might proceed somewhat leisurely back toward Washington in order to allow himself an opportunity to study recovery effects in as many sections as possible.
 In addition to being the first visit a President ever made to the nearer insular possessions and ter ritories since they came under Am erican control at the turn of the century, the trip would afford the executive his first swing across the country since his campaign tour Is months before.

Price Sees Difficult Struggle for Republican Compoigners
 in '34 Congressional Battles
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington

A somewhat restricted Congress sienal campaign, circumscribed by the unusual political situation as well as the debt-ridden condition of both treasuries, appears in pros- pect for 1884.
 The House campaign promises to reach it's greatest intensity in only 100 or so of the 435 Congressional districts and the Senatorial cam paign in less than a score of states. It is on those fronts the Republi- cans will try to keep the present Democratic Senate majority from increasing and to whittle down as much as possible the Democratic preponderance in the House.
 Although the Congressional Con- mittees are steaming up, they con- cede the issues are not yet very clear. A lot will depend on com ing whether times get bet ter or worse, whether the Roosevelt Administration comes through the summer going strong or burdened by blunders and failures.

Rumors of Assassination Spread Through Capital
 But Are Denied

VIENNA, Feb. 16.-Sewers today became the last strong hold of the Socialist fighters against the Austrian Govern ment and the civil war took on the form of guerilla war fare. Sabotage against the Fascist and Heimwehr or ganiZati0ns was also ordered by the Socialists and the country, in the grip of polit- ical chaos, seems quiet today but the underground army is still lurking in the sewers.
 Assassination Rumors
 Rumors are heard throughout the capital of the attempted assassina- ton of Chancellor Dollfuss, Vice Chancellor Emil Fey, Prince von starhemberg ayi other leaders of the Government, also that Nazi putsch is imminent. All these rumors are subsequently, denied.
 Secret passages into the roomy sewers, which honeycomb under ground Vienna, were ways of es- cape for the defeated garrisons from the municipal apartment blocks shelled by the Government artillery last night. Socialist rifle men emerged from the manholes during the night and terrified the foreign residents who were kept awake by the clamor of gunfire as the Socialists skirmished With the police.
 Civil War Ended
 Although the civil war is appar- eatly at an end, the Council of the Socialist and Republican de- fense troops issued a command for attacks on the Heimwehrmen, those headed by Prince von Starhemberg, the Socialists most bitter foe. The Socialists in issuing the new order, gave strict instructions that attacks are not to be directed against soldiers or the police.
