AUSTRIA GUSTS

Starhemberg Displaced by

Coup.

VIENNA, May IA. Chancellor
Kurt Schuschnigg, newly installed
as unofficial dictator after swift,
hloodless coup which approximated
a revolution, intends TO disarm the
Fascist Heimwehr of Prince Ernst
Won Starhemberg, it was said to-
day.
Starhemberg, ousted by Schusch-
nigg and the new man-behind-the-
throne, Josef Reither, peasant
leader, brought ABOUT his own
downfall by sending Premier Benito
Mussolini telegram of congratula-
ton on the conquest of Ethiopia.
Schuschnigg disapproved, and so
did Reither, who is a man little
known abroad but beloved by the
peasants, an anti-Fascist, anti-Nazi,
called the country's greatest hope
for Democratic government.
The coup was smashing blow at
Mussolini. Soldiers and police
throughout the country took excep-
tional measures to insure peace to-
Gay.
1t was announced that Starhem-
berg would leave for Rome by train
tonight to attend football game
Sunday between Italian and Aus
trian teams. He was to have flown
there this morning. 1t was reported
that had he not been ousted, he
intended to consult Mussolini and
other Italian leaders on Austro-
Its ian cooperation in event of
war and on the possibility that
Austria might follow Italy if it left
the League of Nations.
Starhemberg wired MuSsolini yes
terday congratulaUing him ION the
triumph of Fascism over Democratic
dishonorableness and hypocrisy and
over democratic mendacity."
1t was sent without Schuschnigg's
knowledge, it was said, and Schu-
schnigg and his hard-boiled CO.
leader, Reither, believed it unwiSe.
They said it was an indirect attack
on Great Britain and other nations
joining in penalties against Italy.

Liability of Family Under
Security LdU Is Outlined

and is entitled to the same benefits
as natural child"
AS to the question of wifes re-
sponsibility for her husbands sup
port, Mr.. Lutz said this can not
be answered fully with a cate
gorical statement, but he was of
the opinion that the wife was not
responsible.
Prior to enactment of a state
law some years ago, he said, "the
husband was entitled to all of the
earnings of the wife and that prob
ably accounts for the fact that there
was no legal liability at common
law for the wife to support the
husband. In my opinion the enact
ment of the statute did not change
the rule so as to require the wife
to support her husband out of her
earnings or property"
