Fuehrer Adolf Hitler, angered by
the calling Of a plebiscite on Sun.
day to determine the future OF

his advisers last night on q pos
sible course of direct action.
Officials Of the third reich as

is an outright anti-Nazl maneu-
yer on the part of Chancellor

OF NO INTERVENTION

LONDON, March l1.-(UP)-
Great Britain has moved to pre-
vent n great European crisis OF
the first magnitude over the call

drew Charles Corbin, ambassador
Of Britain's close ally, France.
The diplomatic correspondent of
the Daily Express asserted earlier
today that Lord Halifax, British
foreign secretary. had asked Joa-
chin Won Ribbentrop, German for
rign minister, for assurance that
Germany would not intervene in
the Austrian plebiscite Sunday.
AT the same times according to
the newspaper, Sir Neville Hen
derson, the British ambassador to
Berlin, made a similar request of
the German foreign office.
The correspondent said that he
understood that Ribbentrop told
Lord Halifax that he was unable
to give a pledge OF non-interven-
ton. He was reported to have
said that it might be the duty of
the German government to inter-
vene in the defense of the German
minority in Austria, if serious
trouble resulted from the plebis-
cite. -
Ribbentrop was said to have
promised to mention the request
to Fuehrer Adolf Hitler on Satur-
day.
