VIENNA, Feb. 16. tUP)-Aus-

closest cooperation with Germany,
today voted sweeping amnesty
which now awaits only the sigma
trre of President Wilhelm Miklas
to release all political prisoners.
Not only Nazis but men of other
political persuasions are expected
to be freed before nightfall.

ern frontier. early today forced
Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg to
place five Austrian Nazis or Nazi-
sympathizers, in his cabinet.
Schuschnigg, long bitter foe
of Nazi penetration into Austria
where the Nazi party has been out
lawed since June, 1888, announced
his capitulation and submitted his
new cabinet list to President Will
helm Miklas after Hitler's three
dav ultimatum expired at mid
night. :.
In accordance with Der Fuehr-
er's foremost demand, he appoint
ed DR.. Arthur Won Seyss-Inquart,
leader of the outlaw Austrian
Nazis, to the major cabinet potts
Of rninistersof interior and public
security.
AS a counterweight to appoint
ment of Seyss-Inquart as minister
of public safety the United Press
learned, DR.. Michael Skubl, the
secretary of state in that ministry,
was appointed actual chief Of the
state police and gendarmerie
throughout the entire country.
In the old government Skubl,
who also is president of the Vi
emma police, was secretary Of state
in the ministry with jurisdiction
only over the state police and
without command over the gendsr-
merle. Under his new post, the
United Press understood, all Aus
trian police and gendarmer1e
forces will be under his direct
command.
In this connection, it was point
ed out in informed circles that
without this change, the new min,
lister for public security would
have directed and possibly con-
trolled the Austrian gendarmer1e.
Now It is under the direct conf
mand of the Austrian forces IN
the most strongly Northumberland
rural districts and remains in the
hands of man who is known as
a faithful Ssckuschnigg supporter.
The reconstructed cabinet, as
announced officially, also contains
pro-Nazis, although not in all IN
stances actual party adherents, IN
the cabinet posts of labor, INDUS
try, justice and forestry.
Schuschnigg's wavering in nam

EXPECT TO FINISH CITY TO
E, FLAT ROCK ROAD TODAY
Construction of New High
way Link Under Way
for Several Months

Construction work on a new
paved highway between Hcndcr-
sonvillc and East Flat Rock was
expected to be completed this af-
tcrnoon, barring rain. Work on
the new road has been underway
for the past several months.
The local office Of the Carolina
Contracting Co., Columbia, S. C.,
firm, doing the work, announced
this morning that pouring of con-
crete on the work would be COM
plcted this afternoon unless rain
interferred.
The office further announced
that about a week would be neces-
sary after the concrete work is
completed before the highway will
be open for travel. Shoulder work
remains to be done and time IS al
lowed for the concrete to COM
pletely harden. A portion of the
new road has already been opened
to traffic.
The new road will shorten the
distance from Hendersonville to
East Flat Rock, and the route is
much straighter than the old road.
From a junction with the Green
vile highway just south of the
city the road runs in southeast
direction to point near the
Southern railway crossing on the
old road. The railway is crossed
on an overpass, and the road then
runs in an almost direct line to
East Flat Rock, rejoining the old
road at a point near the East Flat
Rock Methodist church.
The complete project will cost
an estimated $4,000, and the
overpass was built at a cost of
about $4,000.
The portion Of the road already
opened for traffic is between the
overpass and East Flat Rock.

Senate Fails To Break Lynch Fiibuster
u. S. MUST BE PREPARED FOR
DEFENSE OF BOTH COASTS, IS
VIEW VOICED BY PRESIDENT
Naval Expansion Program
May Ultimately Be Set
at 80 Percent

( WASHINGTON, Feb. Is. (UP)
} The United States must have a
navy powerful enough to rcpcl
possible simultaneous attacks on
both coasts. President Roosevelt
said yesterday in discussing his
national defense expansion pro-
I gram.
The chief executive said at his
/ press conference that i'm the opin-
/ ion of defense StratcgiStS. Amer
lea cannot rely with safety upon
4 fleet that is capable of defend
ing only one coast at a time, and
that the nation must consider
both the Atlantic and the Pacific
as possible war zones.
His statement came as the Unit
ed Press Was advised authOrita-
lively that the administration
objective Of a navy 20 per cent
stronger than treaty limits will be
increased gradually after the pro-
gram gets under way with the
ultimate goal a super battle force
powerful enough to defend the
entire western hemisphere.
The president outlined his po-
Sition when he was asked wheth-
CT he opposes an increase in ia
pans naval ratio, which is three
as against five each for this coun-
try and Great Britain.
He said the United States might
be forced into hOstilitieS on two
fronts simultaneously and added
that such a possibility must be
given due consideration in the
formulation of Il national defense
policy. ~ 80
He referred correspondents to
the state department for pos
SiblC statement on Japan'S refusal
to give the United States, Great
Britain and France information
regarding her naval construction
program.
This action by Tokyo is expect
ed TO result in the United States
building Super-drcadnaughtS of
nearly $4,000 tons each and arm
cd with 18-inch guns.
II was learned meanwhile that
the president, in recent confer
cnces with congressional leaders,
was apprehcnsivc regarding pos
Sible outside action against South
or Central American countries.
The ADMINISTRATORS future ma
val program, it was said, may in
volve an eventual increase of
about 80 per cent over the pres
ent fleet strength, dependent up
on the construction other powers
undertake. II may be predlcated
upon the Observation-Disclosures
declaration of naval policy which
Chairman Carl VinSon, D., Ga,
of the house naval affairs COM
mittee, will offer as an amend
ment to the authorization bill en-
bodying President Roosevelts big
ger navy demands.
The policy amendment declares
that it is the intention of this
country to build a fleet suffi-
GENTLY strong to repel simulta-
ncous attacks on both coasts. Ac-
cording to expert testimony be-
fore the naval affairs committee,
this would require two separate
fleets, capable of acting indie
pendently of each other.
