CITY TAVERNS TO

 For, Against It
 Opponents of the local proposal fear that its passage by the Board of Aldermen would pave the way for more and more stringent regu- lation by the city government. The state regulations, they contend, are stiff enough without having the city offer additional interference.
 Supports of the amendment, on the other hand, claim that compe- tition is already ruinous, and that the measure Is the best means of protecting their own interests. The amendment would not affect liquor establishments open and doing business at the time of its adop- ton.
 Residence Z0ning Ban
 In addition to setting up the 1000 feet and 200 ruled the amendment would bar taverns, grills, hotels or package stores from residence zones unless they conform strictly to the regulations controlling such zones
 The amendment also provides that If liquor permittee has had his establishment closed for 30 days or more, he is then bound by the l.000-feet and 200-feet ruled, ever if he were in business at the time of the amendments adoption.
 In the Hartford suit, Mrs. Rizzo contends that the enforcement of the zoning regulation deprives her of her property without due process of law.

of Austria.
 The government issued the. fol- lowing comtnunique:
 Yesterday a special German en- voy arrived in Rome by airplane, bearing a personal letter from the Fuehrer to Il Duce regarding the Austrian events"
 Ambassadors Confer
 Lord Perth, British ambassador to Italy, conferred with Foreign Min ister Galeazzo Ciano. British and Italian quarters refused to say whether the interview concerned the Austrian situation or was @ continu- ation of Anglo-Italian negotiations.
 It was said authoritatively later that their discussion concerned Mediterranean problems. They talk ed for half an hour, and planned to confer again next Tuesday.
 There was a feeling of consterna- tion here as the third Reich vir- tually pushed its frontiers to Bren- ner Pass in the Alps, on the Ital- ian border, but there was no offi- cial comment. The ministry of pop ular culture instructed the Italian press last night not to dramatic" the situation.
 Only Comment
 The morning newspaper, Messag- ge-o, published the only comment.
 Fridays developments seal a movement which could not be check ed any longer and which was bound to triumph" it said.
 "The popular demonstration &C., companying the announcement of Schuschnigg's resignation reveal the real sentiment of the Austrian peo- pie, which now finds its moral and political talents in the conclusion of a movement which was proven ir- resistible
 While the movement was ripen- ing. Italy maintained an absolutely objective attitude ,abstaining from interfering in the Austrian internal situation directly or indirectly"

GERMAN TROOPS
 GO IN AT DAWN
Continued from Page D

Continued from Page D leaders had fled across the from tier; some were reported under ar- rest.
 Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg, busted from office, was reported ill, being cared for by friends after nervous breakdown.
 Out in the provinces, Nazis dis. missed provincial governors, may ors and other officials. Some were jailed. Others were put under the Nazi house arrest.
 The stock exchange and money market were closed. Some banks here in the provinces were closed; some opened.
 Nazi authorities began confiscat- ing foreign newspapers which con- tained false" reports regarding Austria.
 Nazis In Full Control
 Austria was a Na1 state. Nazis controlled the government, the army, the police, the newspapers, the radio. Jubilant Austrian Nazis raided the headquarters of anti Nazi organizations, threatened Jews and raised the black swastika flag of Naziism over public buildings throughout the country. German police and other leaders were here advising the new Nazi regime.
 It was believed in many quartrs that before long, by plebiscite or by election, Adolf Hitler would be de- clared fuehrer of Austria, his birth place, which he left in his youth to seek his fortune in Germany.
 Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg, the heir of Engelbert Dollfuss whom Nazis murdered in their unsuccess- ful putsch of 1884, had resigned and turned over his office to Dr. Arthur Won Seyss-Inquart, Austrian Nazi leader and for years his own close friend.
 Venerable President Wilhelm Mix las alone held out. It was indicated that he had refused stoutly to ap- prove the new Mailed ministry and that he told Seyss-Inquart he took charge on his own persona responsibility.
 But the victory of the Nazi. seemed complete and the long anc brilliant history of Austria as ar independent state was ended.

 Since January, however, MT. Pur- cells removal from favor of the party which placed him in office is of no great secrecy. Immediately after MT. Rowland succeeded MT. Leary, there was open break be- tween MT. Purcell and his fellow workers He even flared into near defiance of Mayor Hayes at a recent finance board meeting.
 Missing Records Dimmed
 The question of the missing rec ordS has been somewhat dimmed by the sensationalisms brought about by the inauguration of the grand jury. Investigations by Detec- tives Hickey and Greer may have been successful along those lines, but with their customary secrecy, they have avoided mentioning any such success.

 In words, the number of voters removed from the lists, either those who died or those who left the city, is nearly half the total of the new voters made" through the last ten years. The figure in 1888 rep resents an unusual number because of the franchise of women.
 Chairman Crary remarked that 1t was unlikely" that any party "vot- ing dead men" would have such figures to present. And, further; he remarked that Waterbury is a Democratic city and SO it will re- main, in spite of attempts by the Republicans to enlist various "non- partisans" of several movements in the cause of rugged individual ism and big business"
 c. o. F. Strength"
 Evidence of the Republican strength" in Waterbury is the vote in 1929 when Mayor Frank Hayes first was elected. The Republican, Conway, boiled 18TH votes and Mayor Hayes won by 645 votes.
 But the "payoff," so-called, is the list of majorities obtained by Democratic candidates during The last ten years, presented in abbrev- lated form as follows: 1927. Gull foile-Elton, 695; 1928, Alfred Smith, 5,529 over Herbert c. Hoover: 1929. Mayor Hayes 645 over Conway: 1880, Governor Cross-Rogers, 3,0o4: 1881, Hayes-Tracy, 6,059; 1882, Roosevelt = Hoover, 6,871; 1883, Hayes -Cooney, 9,069; 1884, Cross Hugh M. Alcorn, ST., 6,644: 1895. Hayes-Burrall, 1,704; 193e, Roose- velt-1andon, 14,129; 1887, Hayes Culhane 55.
 Consider the breakdown" of the vote in Waterbury during the past few years. In 1929, the Republicans boiled 18TH; in 1890, 1l,0O0: in 1881. 12,000: in 1892, 12,0O0; in 1883, $500; in 1884, 1l,500: in 1885, 15,096: large number of Democrats join- ing to support Maj. John M. Burrall because they knew that the new Independent Democratic party, which boiled 2,824 votes that wear hadn't a chance; 1936, 10000: 1887, 14,399, with numerous mon partisans" of the Merit System and Independent Democrats" voting the Republican ballot although the Independent Democrats boiled A. 672 in the same election, which combined with the Republican vote obtained for them one major city office, controller, and a few mino, offices, with control of the board of aldermen.

 Mussolini Status
 Though Premier Benito Musso- lmi Of Italy had declared his neu- trality in the Austrian crisis, and had refused to pledge any aid to Great Britain and France, 1t was reported in reliable quarters that the situation was so grave that Chamberlain was onsidering whether to approach him again.
 It was said that, if Mussolini were approached, Cha m berlain would say that his answer would in- volve a most momentous decision. For that reason, it was said, the government would attach the great est importance to what he said.
 The strongest sort of British and French portests to Germany against the Austrian coup had been una vailing. Now it was peace or war. and 1t was up to the cabinet to de- Side whether the British people were ready for war.

natinoal hero.
 This morning, Hitler's personal flag was tremendously hauled down from the flagstaff of his chancellery and 1t was announced:
 Tn his absence from Berlin, nec- essitated by events, Fuehrer Hitler has appointed Field Marshal 0oer- ing his representative"
 Already On His Way
 Hitler was already on his way by airplane to Munich. He arrived there at 10 a. m., two hours before his proclamation was read to the nation by Goebbels. Hitler denounced, in the proclamation, the government of Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg. Then he announced:
 Since this morning troops of the German armed forces are marching everywhere across the German-Aus- trian frontier. Summoned by new national socialist government, they will guarantee that the Aus- triar people will soon be given the opportunity to mould their future fate through 8 genuine plebiscite." His Proclamation
 He proclaimed: T myself, az Fuehrer- Chancellor of the German people, shall be happy to enter (Aus- tria) as 8 German and free citizen of 8 country which is also my homeland"
 As Goebbels was reading that mo- mentous announcement, Hitler was leaving Munich by automobile. He had concentrated there almost all of his crack black uniformed personal bodyguard of 5000 men. Throughout the night they had raced in motor trucks along the country roads from Berlin to Munich.
 It was believed that this move ment of bodyguard troops led to the false reports last night that Ger man troops already had crossed the Austrian frontier.

were concerned, nothing of the matters which their antiquities. politically and speculatively, might include.
 Racial Characteristics
 The political history of the last ten years in Waterbury is represen- tative of the political development of the country. It has been a per- iod when the power of the individ- ual to retain mastery over the votes of those subservient to him has passed into the limbo of rugged individualism. It has been a per- iod when the racial characteristics of New England cities have under gone permanent change and the economic slavery of the section has passed into the archives of another era, comparable with that of the slave history of the south.
 But the figures of the Demo- cratic party's accomplishment in the making of voters over the past ten years tell the story by the factual route, so to speak. And here are the figures:

tain to be impelled to even closer cooperation in the diplomatic field.
 Mussolini Chagrined
 Mussolini must be chagrined by Austrian developments. It is highly significant that the Italian press, always under the thumb of the gov ernment, for the first time since the formation of the Berlin Rome axis, failed. today to fully and promptly endorse any information diplomatic action undertaken by Germany. Well informed sources in Rome detected other evidences that Mussolini had been taken aback by Hitler's ag- gressive policy toward Austria.
 In view of this development, it's in the cards that Chamberlain will now make a strong effort to break the Berlin Rome axis or badly bend it by seeking broad approachmeat with MusSolini.
 Therefore, the next few months are likely to witness efforts toward a general reshuffling of diplomatic lineups as an outgrowth of Hitler'S Austrian coup.
 Protests Valueless
 Despite the fact that Britain and France have, five separate times, reaffirmed the necessity of preserv- ing Austria's independence and in- tegrity, neither will go further than protests and peaceful pressure in trying to save the country from Modification.
 As regards Czechoslovakia, in confidential conversation I had last month in Prague with the Czechoslovakian foreign minister, he left no doubt of his country's precarious position once Hitler had absorbed Austria unless her allies, France, Russia, and the Little En- tente, come to her rescue.
 Another Treaty Breach
 Hitler's coup is tantamount to another breach in the treaty of Yer sailles, which forbade the Union of Austria and Germany. Hitler already had preached the economic and military clauses by refusing to continue separations and by rearm- ament and reoccupation of the de- militarized Rhineland. But this is the first breach of the territorial Clauses.
 It is also an irreparable blow to the already tottering system of col lective security and to the League of Nations. It also is the definite inauguration of the return of the pre-world war system of power politics.
