AUSTRIA MAKES
DEMAND TO HAVE
FULL EQUALITY
Chancellor Requests All
Restrictions on Army
to Be Removed

Vienna, May 29-UP)-Chan.
cellor Kurt Won Schuschnigg, ad.
dressing the central diet, today de.
manded full arms equality for
Austria. He rejected the demands
of Adolf Hitler for a plebiscite to
determine Nazi strength.
His speech followed by one day
that of Premier julius Goemboes,
of Hungary, likewise demanding
equality. Germany and Turkey
have armed in violation of World
war treaties, and Bulgaria, last OF
the central powers, wants to.
Cancel Restrictions
"Our demand for equality in
cludes cancellation of all restric-
tions on the army" said Schusch-
nigg. "Only Austria shall decide
if and when general CONSUMPTION
is to be introduced"
Replying to statements he cred
tied to Hitler, Schuschnigg said
that Benito Mussolini of Italy
never tried in the least to infiu-
ence Austria's internal policy.
"Nazis are seeking to poison our
relations with Italy," he said.
Those who demand a plebiscite
boast of having vanquished parlia-
mentary government in Germany.
Anxious for Peace
1--WE do not want the present
tension with Germany and God
knows we are filled with sorrow
over the situation. We are always
ready to accept the hand of peace.
So far nobody has extended this
hand"
Schuschnigg said that Hitler's
recent request FOR a definition OF
the word interference as regarded
Austria was justified. Hitler's hint
that Austria's government was not
based on the peoples will, he said.
was materially wrong.
Moreover" he commented, this
is an internal affair which does
not admit of foreign judgment"

Representative John D. Thotns
of Waterbury, member of the
committee, today pointed out that
the rumor that cafes could only
sell hard liquors was incorrect and
was based on a misinterpretatiori
Of the terms of the 1898 liquor
control act. Representative
Thoms confirmed the report that
hard liquors, wines, and beers
might be sold in cafes.
Thorfis Explain Bill.
The new act, SO stated Rep.
Thoms, really says that cafes may
handle alcoholic liquor and this
wording gave rise to the BELIEF
that only hard liquor could be sold.
Quoting from the 1888 act Rep.
Thoms read that section defining
alcoholic liquor as beers, wines,
wiliskey, etc. Therefore it is OBJ
vious that the cafe may sell any
and all of the above.

As O matter of fact, she had not
given Lees tardiness another thought
after his arrival, but she knew this
reference to Deane's outburst would
irritate Bill.
Immediately after dinner Lee spoke
to Bill and Carl and they walked down
the hail and shut themselves in the
library. Selma was itching with curl
osity as she watched them go. but at
the moment had an announcement
to make. An orchestra had just ar
rived, she said, and there would be
dancing in q few minutes. She sug-
gested that while they are waiting
for the big dining room to be cleared
they 60 out on the lawn.
Selma's invitations had said nothing
about dancing. but this was but one
of her little surprises. No sooner had
her guests strolled out onto the lawn
than three arc lights suddenly came
on and focused on a small portable
stage under the trees, and q moment
later three bare-legged girls in silk
shorts and mems high silk hats
emerged from the darkness and pro-
ceeded to prove themselves extraord1-
narily good tap dancers.
Ann did not join the other guests
when they settled on the grass about
the stage, but moved OF into the
shadows beyond. She stood with her
back to a tree and thought what q

"It isn't appropriate to the setting,
Ann said. How did you like the ova-
tion?" She hadn't meant to be ugly,
but the question slipped out almost
before she realized she had asked It.
