AUSTRIAN TRAGEDY
Of LONG STANDING
Present Events CuIminate
Old Battle Between De-
mocracy and Fascism.
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press
Today's tragic events in Austria cul-
inmate long battle between the
forces of democracy and Fascism.
The little Chancellor Dollfuss, whose
bourgeois Christian Social party held
as its corner stone the principle of
representative government, has been
forced through the events of the last
year, to accept as the mainstay of his
power, the Fascist Heimwehr.
The Socialists, or Social Democrats
as they call themselves, were numer-
ically the strongest party in Austria
when Parliament was dissolved last
year.
Today they are being crushed by
the Heimwehr, numerically the weak
est.
If that process Is completed the
Christian Socialists, who control be-
tween IS and 20 per cent of the votes,
will be face to face with the Helm
wehr and the Nazis, who claim O
majority Of the voting population.
The object Of both Is to crush
democracy forever"
Some observers look forward to a
Heimwehr-Nazi Fascist front" with
the ,Nazis, stronger in numbers, ulti-
mately dominating.

ECLIPSE WILL END
DAY BEFORE START
Shadow to Fall on World
February ID and Lifts
on February 13.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 13.-A total
eclipse Of the sun, which started of
Asia just when tomorrow. st. valen-
tines day, was dawning there, will
end at the Western edge of the United
States today, while =. Is still February
13 on this side of the world.
The total eclipse, with its white
corona, will sink into the Pacific with
the sunset just before it reaches our
West Coast, but the Penumbra of par
tial eclipse will shade the coast from
Southern California to northernmost
Alaska.
The eclipse races about one-third
the distance around the earth from
sunrise to sunset. Its path begins of
the Malay Peninsula and bends in an
exaggerated hockey-stick curve to end
just of Southern Alaska.
Astronomers Are Sent.
In all that distance there are only
two small islands where 1t can be
seen from land, Losap and Oroluk, in
the Carolines.
At that hour the moons shadow is
nearly tangent to the earth's surface.
so that 1t speeds at thousands Of
miles an hour over these islands.
At Losap and Oroluk the shadow
will last two minutes and about five
seconds. Its shape will be an ellipse
go to 80 miles wide. Russia and
Japan have sent astronomers to Lo-
sap. There is no Official American
expedition, although a few Americans
have been listed in the personnel Of
the foreign observers.
Once more, at this eclipse, the Elm
stein relativity theory of the curvature
of space will be tested. A number Of
stars will shine close to the sun while
It is blotted out. They will be photo
graphed. and six months hence, when
in similar positions in the night sky.
they will be photographed again.
They will not be in exactly the same
positions on the Photographic plates
six months hence, despite the fact
that they will be in precisely the same
places in the sky. The difference in
position will measure the bending of
light of the stars as 1t passes close
to the sun.
Theory Verified In 1919.
Under Newton's laws of gravitation
these star rays should bend .S7 sec
onds of an arc. Under Einstein's rela-
tivity theory they should bend LA
seconds
In 1919 the sensational verification
| OF relativity, with its conceptions Of
curved space, came from eclipse star
measurements. which showed a bend
ing Of starlight very close to Elm
STEMS predictions.
Since then other attempts to meas
ure the starlight curvature have been
attempted and some of the curvatures
have gone as high as 224 seconds 81
arc. This is altogether too much for
the relatively explanation. So there
will be scientific interest In the photo
graphs taken on LoSap today"
The total shadow crosses thousands
of miles Of the Pacific steamship lanes.

LOS ANGELES, February 13-
Franklin Delano Roosevelt and George
v of England, two Of the better
known philatelists, will receive let
ters from Tin Can Island in April
or May.
Boats are few and far between at
the island, however, for there is no
pier, and shore conditions make the
use of canoes and rowboats imprac-
ticable Consequently, mail is de-
livered with the aid Of tin cans and
swimmers, who carry and push the
cans whenever a ship arrives.
The liner City of Los Angeles,
making a South Seas exploration
cruise, has visited the island, in the
Tonga group, listed as Niuaf0a, but
better known as Tin Can Island, and
collected and left enough letters to
match two years normal mail flow
there. Niuafoa has its own and
unique cancellation machine, and q
stamp from that refEote spot has

MARKET HEARINGS
OPEN TOMORROW
Stock Control Legislation
Taking Definite Shape
in Congress.
BY the Associated. Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Legislation to control the Nations
stock and commodity exchanges was
taking definite shape today In both
the Senate and House.
With hearings scheduled to open to-
morrow on the Stock Exchange reg
ulation bill, Chairman Fletcher Of the
Senate Banking Committee made pub
lie two proposals by Secretary of Agri-
culture Wallace to regulate the COM
modify exchange.
One Of Walace's proposals related
exclusively to the cotton market, the
other to all commodity exchanges
The latter would give a cabinet COM
mission power to establish trading
limits" on futures trading. Both pro-
posals bear the Administration seal
of approval. Copies were sent tc
Fletcher and to Chairman Jones o1
the House Agriculture Committee.
The Banking Committee also au-
thorized Fletcher to turn over to the
Agriculture Committee the legisla-
ton submitted yesterday by Secre-
tary wallace.
The full Banking Committee
Fletcher said, will sit on the Stock
Exchange hearings. He said all who
want to testify will be heard, but
the hearings will be shut on If there
is an attempt to unduly extend them
in order to prevent legislation al
this session.
Continuation of Inquiry.
The hearings on the stock market
legislation before the Senate commit.
tee will take the form of a continu.
alton of its inquiry into operations Of
the Stock Exchange. Evidence viii
be submitted on the operations o.
pools in the alcohol stocks last Sprinl
and Summer, when States were voting
on prohibition repeal.
The most striking proposal in th'
commodity exchange bill would give Il
cabinet commission, composed o.
the Secretary of Agriculture, the Sec.
retary of Commerce and the Attorne,
General, power to fix trading limits
on futures trading.
This power would apply TO purely
speculative trading for long or shor
account, but would exclude hedging
transactions.
Licensing Provided.
Other points of the bill were:
Provisions for the licensing of com.
mission merchants handling orders fol
customers.
Prohibition against operation o.
bucket shops.
Requirement that margin money
must not be used TO extend credit Il
other customers than the one fol
whom held, and that 1t must be treat.
ed as "a trust fund"
Provision for making cheating anc
fraud upon customers by exchange
members a criminal offenSe and out
lawing such practices as ''indemnities.
wash sales" cross trades" and 9TH
er transactions to create a fictitious
price.
Agriculture TO promulgate rules ano
regulations necessary to carry out the
act.
Wallace reported that inclusion oi
cotton under the grain futures act
would cover es per cent of the pres
ent volume of futures trading in al
commodities.
In forwarding the legislation, hi
said he did so with the consent ot
the President. though he did not give
the Chief Executives views on tht
specific proposals.
