dull. 1t clings to teeth and hardens
into tartar. Germs by the millions

10000 acres of brush and timber.

AUSTRIA LEADER
SEIZES POWER
Schuschnigg Declares
Himself Absolute

= VIENNA, Oct. 10. (UP)
Chancellor Kurt Schusch-
nigg ordered troops of the
Vienna garrison to main
tain a state of readiness" today to
defend his sudden declaration of
absolute dictatorship over Austria.
Storm police and troops occupied
government buildings, keeping
guard with machine guns and war;
like kit for possible threats against
the chancellor's surprise action in
dissolving the Heimwehr and seiz-
ing full control of the nation.
His action recalled the days two
years ago of the assassination of
the late Chancellor Engelbert DOLL
fuss during a. Nazi uprising in
Vienna.
The broad streets of the Austrian
capital bore martial aspect as the
chancellor's bloodless declaration
of power eliminated all semi-mil-
itary organizations in the country.
BY his bold stroke, he eliminated
his sole possible rival for power,

Loyalists fought gamely and even
essayed a counter attack. But the
insurgents were superior in num-
bers, airplanes, artillery, machine
guns and rifles, and they were
trained soldiers fighting against
clerks and workmen.
There was fighting all along the
Alberche river front west of the
capital. The insurgent attack was
ferocious.
Twenty black Junker airplanes,
protected by fast Fiat pursuit planes,
bombed and machine-gunned the
Loyalist lines all the way from
Maqueda northward to Navalperal.
Under the. airplane attack the
militiamen stood fast, awaiting the
infantry attack. The bombing and
machine cunning lasted for hour
after hour and finally the Loyalist
outposts began to retire.
Then from behind the insurgent
advance posts came two columns of
rebels. Down the main road east
ward from San Martin toward Navas
del Rey came three tanks, splitting
their machine gun fire. On one in
tantry wing came hundreds of
Moorish cavalry, sweeping the fields
before them, shouting their Arabic
battle cries and flourishing swords.
On the other wing came legion
naires and Fascist civilian volun-
teers with rifles and sub machine
guns, sweeping around in a wide
circle searching for Loyalist nests.
The Loyalists, holding as they
could, remained only hundred
yards or SO from the attackers.
Loyalists planes went into action
toward dark yesterday but were
outnumbered and the militiamen
fell slowly back.
