VIENNA, May 16.-Seeking to re-
inforce his new, one-man dictatorship
by demanding dissolution Of Austria's
private armies. Chancellor Kurt
Schuschnigg tackled today the prob
lens of national solidarity and new
foreign markets.
The announcement that none but
militiamen will be allowed to bear
arms as volunteers dealt a blow to
the Fascist Heimwehr of Prince Ernst
Won Starhemberg, who was ousted
Wednesday as co-dictator. Schusch-
nigg, however, tempered the step with
conciliation
The Chancellor, describing Sta
rhemberg as good Austrian, said
many of the Heimwehr's men and ira
ditions would be absorbed in the ma
tional militia.
Immediate Reaction Passive.
Won Starhemberg was in Rome and
no immediate reaction was available
to the Chancellor's statement last
night. Heimwehrmen in Upper Aus
tria, however, where Starhemberg got
his start, were in a belligerent mood.
"Dualism in control of Austrian
affairs is a thing of the past" the
chancellor told the nation in a radio
discussion Of his plans. "It was re-
placed not because of great differ
ences between the leaders, but because
in these stern times even slight dif-
ferences cannot be tolerated."
The chancellor held a lengthy con-
versation with Franz Won Papen, the
German Minister, in which, an init
mate of Schuschnigg said, economic
relations were discussed.
Aggression Fears Diminish.
Tension in official quarters over the
possibility Of German aggression ap-
peared relieved since the elimination
Of Starhemberg from the cabinet.
Austrian fear that the Germans
may sweep over the border is dimin.
ishing," q foreign ONCE spokesman
said. describing relations as better
than at any time since the assassina-
ton Of Chancellor Dollfuss.

Nazi movement apparently on its way.

BY the Associated Press.
A compromise revenue plan. includ-
ing a boost in the levy on all persons
who pay income taxes, moved today
toward a vote in the Senate Finance
Committee.
The new program, in which Presi-
dent Roosevelt's proposal for taxing
undistributed corporate profits would
be a comparatively minor feature,
was evolved in a surprise move yes
terday. Some members felt the COM
mittee would adopt it in substance
today.
The normal tax on levy from the
present per cent to 5 per cent. The
plan also would levy a fiat tax of 18
per cent on all income of corpora.
tions; a surtax of z per cent on un-
distributed corporate profits, and apply
the normal income rate of per cent
to dividends.
The income tax boost would affect
a large number of persons. perhaps
more than 100000, and there was
uncertainty about its fate in Con-
gress. especially in the House where
all seats are at stake in this years
election.
Agreement Is Sought.
The compromise program was de-
scribed by Chairman Harrison as q
composite" of several members
suggestions and was put forward in
an effort to get an agreement from
his badly divided committee. But its
approval depended on Treasury esti-
mates Of the revenue it would pro-
duce and test of strength within
the committee over the theory Of tax
ing undistributed profits.
Some administration Senators felt
the per cent surtax on undistributed
profits was not high enough to force
distribution Of earnings held in corp
orations to avoid taxes. On the other
hand, several committee members
favored complete abandonment of the
proposal for taxing undivided corp
crate earnings.
The Z per cent surtax plan was
much different from President Roose.
velt's original suggestion for taxing
undistributed profits, and the plan as
a whole was complete revision of the
form in which the tax bill passed the
House.
The Chief Executive, in his tax
message, recommended levy on un-
distributed profits which would equal
the tax which would be paid if the
profits were distributed. Treasury
experts estimated this would average
33l2 per cent.
In the House, this was modified to
a graduated tax up to l21s per cent
on all corporate income, depending on
how much of it was withheld from
dividends. The House adopted the
