ATTACKS ON OTTO
CURBED IN AUSTRIA
Tenants Of Imperial Palace Are
Ordered to Clear Out
Before Fall.
By the Associated Press.

VIENNA, March ie. - Tenants
occupying the former imperial palace,
seat of centuries of Hap5burg rule
were ordered today to clear out before
the end Of the Summer, and a news
paper was confscated at Graz for
disparaging remarks about Archduke
Otto, exiled claimant to the Austrian
throne.
These two apparently unconnected
circumstances coincided with the
closing of the two-day conference Of
Heimwehr leaders under Prince Ernst
Won Starhemberg.
This meeting, held while Chancellor
Dollfuss is in Rome, issued a COM
munique denouncing the governor of
the province of Vorarlberg for pre-
suming to remove Heimwehr leader
from his official position. The gov
ernor. Ender. minister for constitu-
tional reform, is also member Of
the Dollfuss cabinet. Ender's pres
ence in the ministry has been pointed
out as absolute assurance that the
long promised new Austrian consti-
tuition would be democratic.
Heimwehr leaders at their meeting
also discussed the present political
situation and consequences which
must necessarily be drawn therefrom." p"

~ EFORE gathering of employees
- of his new Office, friends and
District officials, E. Barrett
- Prettyman today took the oath
of Office as corporation counsel
of the District. Prettyman succeeds
w. w Bride, whose resignation be-
came effective yesterday.
Prettyman was indicted into Office
at brief ceremony at 10 o'clock in
the office of Commissioner Melvin C..
Hazen. Most all of the assistant cor
poration counsels and the clerical force
of the department witnessed the cere-
mony. Commissioner George E. Allen
also was witness. The oath was ad-
ministered by Daniel E. Garges, secre-
tary OF the Board of Commissioners.
Prettyman said afterward he had no
announcement to make at this time
as to any change in the operation Of
his department and that he contem-
plated no changes in personnel. He
said he planned to make no changes
in policies, at least until after he
had familiarized himself with the
duties of his office.
Prettyman just recently completed
duties as general counsel to the Bu-
reau of Internal Revenue. He re-
signed that post when Secretary OF
the Treasury Morgenthau planned to
appoint men of his own choosing for
responsible posts under the Treasury.
In the Federal post, Prettyman was
succeeded by Robert jackson.
Bride today was taking brief va
cation at his resort in Delaware prior
to his return to private law practice.
He still will be in District service,
however, since he has accepted ap-
pointment as chairman of the Dis
trict Board of Indeterminate Sen
tences and Parole. The post carries
no salary.
All members Of the legal depart
ment, including the clerical force,
staged a farewell banquet for Bride
last night at the Mayflower Hotel.
Vernon E. West, principal assistant
corporation counsel, was toastmaster.
A gift from members of the depart
ment was presented to Bride by
Robert E. Lynch, assistant corporation
counsel

The House also voted Tuesday for
compromise war veterans provisions
substantially similar to those advo-
Gated by Senator Byrnes Of South
Carolina, one of the administration
spokesmen in the Senate. The Sen
ate, in passing the bill two weeks ago,
however, had adopted the more lib
eral Steiwer-McCarran veterans pro-
gram.
When the bill came back to the
Senate yesterday containing the COM
promises voted by the House Tuesday
the Senate could either have con-
Cured in those proposals, which
would have settled the pay and vet
erans' sections, or disagree and ask
conference. The latter course was
chosen.
In the House now, new threat by
the powerful ex-soldiers' wing faces
administration leaders. This Is seen
In the statement by Representative
Connery, Democrat, Of Massachusetts,
that he would attempt to have the
entire question Of veterans and Fed
eral employe benefits reopened for up

Good Market Bill Due.
1t is now virtually certain that a
good stock market regulation bill
will come out of the current mess.
The Federal Reserve experts are
writing the credit sections of the new
bill. They know their business. The
young Anthony advocates have joined
with less liberal experts inside the
administration to correct defects OF
the original measure.
The first humdinging bill of the
advocates has serUed a good politi-
cal purpose. 1t pared the way for
strong regulatory measure.
The man who started the ball roll
ing toward compromise was Rep
pesentative Rayburn. He is supposed
to have trotted down to the White
House one evening and asked what
was what. Chiefly, he wanted the
Treasury and Federal Reserve Board
to get together and take response
oility for sections of the legislation
affecting business and credit.
The President is supposed to
have called Treasury Secretary
Morgenthau and Gou. Black OF the
Federal Reserve on the telephone
and started all the Government
machinery going in one direction.
Some bad feeling still exists among
the inner circles who were working
earlier at cross purposes. 1t will all
be Strengthened out when the salts
factory bill is arranged.
Turn to Cuban Market.
It was stated here recently that
Cuba could not buy dimes worth

That is relatively true, but the foreign
trade experts have hopes of building
up the Cuban market to what it

In 1929 Cuban imports of our
meats amounted to S6,000.000; lard,
S9,600,000; wheat -four, 1890, 900;

EXPERTS DRAFTING.
NEW STOCKS BILL.
Revised Measure Will Relax
Drastic Sections Wall
Street Opposed.
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
A much revised Stock Exchange
control bill was being prepared today
for scrutiny by Secretary Morgenthau
and the full Federal Reserve Board
the next important step in its path.
Eugene Black, governor of the Fed
eral Reserve Board; Tom K. Smith,
Morgenthau's special assistant on
banking. and several other Govern
ment experts worked into the small
hours of this morning in reShaplng
the measure
They were under presidential Or
ders to write a bill that Congress
would pass.
Requirements Smoothed.
In attempting to relax drastic Sec
tions which have drawn vehement
protests from Wall Street and con-
servative members of Congress, it was
evident that margin requirements
were being smoothed.
Details of the revision were with
held pending their final approval.
There were indications Morgenthau
and the Reserve Board might have
the redrsft ready today. 1t was
doubtful, however, whether the con-
ciliatory revision would be ready for
the Senate Banking Committee meet
ing scheduled for today.
Mr.. Roosevelt has instructed the
Treasury and Reserve Board to study
the effect the bill might have on
banks and Government finances.
Original Pecora's.
The bill was drafted in the first
place by Ferdinand Pecora, who
directed the Senate investigation Of
Wall Street practices, and James
Lands of the Federal Trade Com
mission, advocates of strong govern
mental regulation. The measure they
drafted stipulated a minimum cash
margin of go per cent, abolished
numerous practices considered ques-
tionable, provided for corporate f1nan-
cial statements at frequent intervals
and gave the Tvade Commission re-
sponsibility for administration and
enforcement.
Wall Street quickly protested, find
ing objections in nearly every section
of the measure, but protesting princi-
pally the phases of the bill outlined
above. The group of experts divided
into two factions in disagreement over
modifying the margin requirements.
Then the administration stepped in,
President Roosevelt directing the
Treasury and Federal Reserve Board
to investigate the effect of the meas
ure on Government finances and the
banks.

of student affairs at the University of
Minnesota, to the effect that he knew
of no arrangements for the Repre-

The hearing was postponed to April
and Nicholson later denied knowl-
edge of the date.
Shoemaker today showed an invita-
ton from M. E. Haggerty, dean of the
College of Education at the univer-
sity, inviting him to attend confer
ence at the university to improve ed
ucational conditions. Shoemaker said
he was making plans to address the

Feelers are expected to go out short
ly from the White House to Canada
looking toward negotiation of a new
treaty.
Administration manipulators are
confident they will have better doc
ument to send to the Senate next
year for ratification. They are GER
tain they will be able to put it over
then.
They are merely singing In the
rain. The vote showed them l3
short of the necessary two-thirds
majority. The only reason they got
as many as they did was that five
Democrats ducked the roll call. Pre-
ferring to be absent rather than brave
the presidential wrath.
Some very radical compromises will
have to be made before Mr.. Roosevelt
will ever get any kind OF st, Law
renee treaty through the Senate.

Of reducing hours by executive order

honest employers would be tremen-

further ground to the dishonest COM

Besides the real compliance effort

conceded with N. r. As demand that

hours should be established for them.
The submitted code already has been
labelled unsatisfactory but never be-

to come and take code.
The consumer group, headed by
George A. Sloan. president Of the Cot

on each of the IL reform points out
lined by Johnson early in the recen:

On wage and hours changes in re-

code spokesmen for each industry to
submit information on the ability OF
the industry to stand pay roll in
creases, and that quick conclusions be
reached between N. r. A. officials and
the code authorities.
They insisted that 1T would be most
unfortunate to inject compulsion

On enforcement, the men urged
