her constitution"
 Nazis, following in the wake oi the fatherland front men, collected hand bills and burned them in g great bonfire in the suburbs.
 we Vote Yes"
 Fatherland front men toured Nag quarters of Vienna in trucks during the night, distributing hand bili which said merely:
 We vote yes"
 It was noted that in the streets there were numerous groups of so- cialists, wearing their three-arroW emblem as 8 signal that they now were ready to fight on Schuschnigg's side. Police arrived just in time to prevent a crowd of government SUD- porters from Storming a Nazi coffee house at Innsbruck which had not displayed al. Austrian flag in honor of Schuschnigg.
 As a sign of the governments be- lief that dangerous situation was threatened, military guard was sent to the Vienna radio station last night to prevent any possible at- tempt at sabotage during Schusch- nigg,s speech at Innsbruck. It was recalled thatt he first thing Nazis did, in their putsch of 1884, was to seize this station and broadcast an announcement that the government had resigned.
 Arms Distributed
 Potentially, the most serious incl dent so far, occurred at Knittelfeld in Styria province. There local gov- ernment authorities, hearing a rumor that Nazis planned to occupy the city hall, distributed arms to members of the former Socialist Schutzbund and entrusted them with the buildings defense. Nazis at once held council of war threatening to storm the building, But the government rushed gen. darmeS to the city and the arms were taken from the Socialists.
 Three were dozens of demonstra- tions in other cities.
 Nazis, bubbling with anger, con- ceded Schuschnigg certain victory in the ives" plebiscite Sunday. They said that they could not muster their full strength on short notice and they complained bitterly against the restriction of voting to persons born not later than 1914. This ex- cludes many of the younger, more radical Nazis who have been the principal cause of anxiety to the government.
 Borrowed His Ideas
 For his plebiscite, Schuschnige borrowed ideas from Austria's to- talitarian neighbors, Italy and Ger many. Cards which say "yes" to the question of independence will be distributed officially. Anybody who wants to vote mo" must take his own card to the polling booths, which will be in governmental fath- erland front halls and town halls, Voting will be secret" or open according to the desire of the yot- CTS; as Guido Zernatto, secretary of ths fatherland front announced at Innsbruck after Schuschnigg's speech.
 Voters may either be handed in as they are, so that officials may see them, or folded so as to conceal a possible mo-. In other words if 8 man hands in a folded ballot, it might be logically assumed that he was voting no.
 For all these reasons, it was fore cast that many persons, particular ly officials, who might want to vote mo" would stay away from the polls or vote yes. Former Socialist work ere. would be expected to vote for Schuschnigg because of the mcreas- ed liberty of action he has promised them and because they hate and fear Nazism much more than they do Schuschnigg's own temperate form of authoritarian government It was believed that many more moderate Nazis would vote yes be- cause of Schuschniggs denunciation of World War treaties in his speech of February "A.
