RACIAL CRISIS,
GORDON AYERS.
Something Like Christ's
Return Needed, Says
Kiwanis Speaker

Assassination of Chancellor
Dollfuss of Austria is at least Eek
tremely interesting" in view of the
almost unanimous belief among
European statesmen that racial
crisis can not long be averted, DR..
S. D. Gordon, author. lecturer and
traveller, told the Kiwanis club
and guests today.
DR.. Gordon returned to the
United States a short while ago
after having lived in the British
empire about two years. He is a
speaker at Bonclarken.
CATER attending League of Ma
tions sessions and talking with
diplomats of Europe, l am voicing
only their belief that a racial
storm is brewing, with it's center
yonder at the Mediterranean,
which is now more strongly forti-
fled than ever" DR.. Gordon said.
"While many strong men are try
ing to avoid the crisis, the senti-
ment over there convinced me
that it will take something as radi-
cal as the second coming of Christ
to prevent the several races from
all but exterminating themselves"
"While we like to think of New
York as the financial center of
the world and of America as the
greatest nation on the globe, the
fact remains that Europe always
has been the axis of the action Of
the human race, and that its con.
duct is of supreme Importance"
the speaker said.
DR.. Gordon pointed out that
European war budgets have been
doubled since 1918. and that prac-
tically every nation is suspicious
of Others. He said that while
has been upset economic
ally, it was a relief to return to
this country which is quiet by con-
trast with those in Europe.

VIENNA, July 26.-(UP).-
Nazis, defying martial law, broke
into open revolt in the province
of Syria today, "a hours after
they murdered Chancellor Engle-
bert Dollfuss.
Austria was a danger spot OF
hardly less warlike potentiality
than in 1914.
Forty thousand Italian troops
moved up to the frontier, pledged
to preserve Austria's indepen-
dence against Nazi coup. 1t was
reported that Czechoslovakia was
reinforcing already strong forces
on the northeast frontier.
Fighting broke out at Lienz,
Loeben and Donawitz, in Syria
province where Nazis are strong
est.
Police announced that large
military forces were marching
against the Nazis at those points.
It was learned smaller attempts
at revolt elsewhere in the prov
inces were promptly suppressed.
Prince Ernst Rudiger Won Star
hemberg, vice chancellor and Lead
er of the Fascist Heimwehr, ar
rived by airplane from Venice and
took immediate command of his
$50, 900 Heimwehr men. He ap-
pealed by radio to all members OF
patriotic societies to join in de-
tense of the government.
1t was believed that Starhem-
berg, of one Of the proudest line
ages in Europe, owner of 80
castles, and called "the happy
prince" might emerge as the
country's dictator in succession to
Dollfuss, who bled to death in the
hands of his Nazi captors in the
chancellory building last night.
Dollfuss was fifth to die in the
revolt. The sixth death came to-
day when Antof Rintelen, Aus
trian minister to Rome, commit
ted suicide.
When Nazis announced over
the radio yesterday that Dollfuss
resigned, they named Rintelen as
his successor. Believing him the
spiritual father Of the revolt, the
government arrested him last
night.
At 6 a. m. today he shot him
self in the lung near the heart.
He was taken to a clinic where he
died. He left a note: ~ am inno-
cent"
Dollfuss lay today, a white
sheet covering his diminutive
body, on q conference table in
the chaneellory. Black flags flew
throughout the city and church
bells tolled in requiem.
His widow and her two little
children came from Italy by train
from the summer home of Pre-
mier Benito Mussolini Of Italy,
where Dollfuss was to have been
q guest this weekend.

STORM BLOWS OUT

Seven persons were dead, &C
cording to early reports, seven

Rescue parties feared that others

"SLS ASSNAo SN'
WASHINGTON, July 26. (UP)
In the face of one of the worst
market slumps in years. Chairman
Joseph P. Kennedy of the federal
securities exchange commission
yesterday promised the nation "a
market with firmer foundations"
when the commission assumes
control September 1.
Making his first public address
as generalissimo of all stock ex-
changes, the one-time New York
pool operator said he believed
speculative safeguards the COM
mission sets up, plus increased
marginal requirements and elm
ination of shoestring speculation,
will make the markets stronger.
At the same time he said the
commission was not setting itself
up as a guardian angel for specu-
lative investors out that crooked
brokers who dupe the investor,
will feel the commissions lash.
The commission, he said, desires
to encourage proper investments
"but it should be pointed out that
the speculative risk in any invest
ment, whether stocks or bonds,
will be present in the future as
it has been in the past"
"0ur rules are simple and hon
est" he said. There are no grudg-
es to satisfy; no venom which
needs victims. Only those who see
things crookedly will find them
harsh"
Kennedy said the commission,
created by congressional enact
ment to outlaw questionable mar
ket practices, will make war with
out quarter on any who sell Sc
curities by fraud or misrepresen-
tation. Celebrating on the theme
of speculation, however, he OBJ
served that no body of men, no
government, no nation "is suffi-
GENTLY wise to define the perfect
investment, or to guarantee it, or
to eliminate the risk of specula-
ton"
Keeping the casual speculator
in mind, Kennedy said the "small
timer" has a definite and valuable
function because it is impossible
to operate organized markets
freely and openly without him. He
said there were more than 49,
100000 such investors in the
United States "and without him,
financial soundness which implies
a regular flow of moneys and
credit, would be disrupted and
practically ended"
He said the commission was
created because the government
owes these investors a responsible
ity in checking improper financial
