Other tragedies included the self-destruction of Friedrich Reitlinger, prominent indus trialist in the Tyrol, who persuaded his daughter, Jane, to shoot him and then kill herself. Reitlinger used to be leading supporter of the Hein1Wehr.
 Dr. Gustav Bayer, professor of medicine, and his daughter, Helga. killed themselves at Innsbruck by taking poison and turning on the gas.
 Professor Gabo Nobl, 72, dermatol- ogist and Jewish head of the Vienna General Clinic, and his wife also committed suicide.
 Causes Sensation
 The death of Fey, who was one of the big men in the old postwar regime under Prince Ernst Rudiger Won Starhemberg and was at the height of his prominence when Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss was assassinated in the Nazi revolt of 1884, caused sensation in the capital.
 Fey was out of politics, but was far from being forgotten as World War hero and one of the most prominent leaders during the Doll fuss regime.
 He was held a prisoner by the Nazis while Dollfuss, shot in the chancellery. bled to death.

AZ CARS TAGGED
 IN CHURCH AREA
Novena Attendants Are Greeted By Tags Last
 Night in Parking Drive

Cars parked near the Church of the Immaculate Conception and The Elton were tagged by the dozens last night for alleged violation of the city parking ordinances. Most of the cars were owned by persons attend ing novena services at the church.
 Patrolman Michael Karpelman told a reporter that he tagged a total of 42 cars in the vicinity Whole lines of cars parked on West Main street and Prospect street all bore the tickets.
 Considerable grumbling was done by car owners whose vehicles were tagged, but police said that only cars which were in no-parking areas or which overstayed time limits were tagged. The car own- CTS must each pay $1 at police headquarters.
 Up to noon today few of the re- cipients of the tags had appeared at the police station to make the requisite payments.
 Police have been conducting a campaign against parking violations for several weeks. The city court treasury has been enriched already by several hundred dollars. Police Superintendent William J. Roach issued instructions that all cars parked illegally must be tagged.
 Yesterday, total of 27 motorists paid dollar each for parking tags Eleven of these tickets were issued by Patrolman John Winston.

 Most important in the latter category of the business at hand is the recommendation made last night by the board of public works for the transfer of $5,000 from the municipal golf course WPA project to the municipal stadium WPA project. Unless this transfer is made at once, the employment of 6l WPA workers is threatened and govern ment-purchased materials, amount ing to $7,500, will be lost to Water bury. sent to other towns ln the state, unless the project is con- tinued.

DRIVE ON BACK TAXES IS URGED BY GOV. CROSS Keep Delinquencies at Minimum, He Warns State Assn
 BACK TAXES INCREASE
 A MILLION YEARLY Program of Legislation to Improve Tax System
 Is Recommended
Hartford. Conn, March 16.

Hartford, Conn.,, March 16. -(UP) - Inauguration of back-tax campaigns to keep delinquencies at a minimum was proposed by Governor Wilbur L. Cross today to the third annual convention of the Tax Collectors Associa- tion of Connecticut. Back taxes, he said, were increas- ing at the rate of $1,000,000 a year, and $9,000,000 in delinquencies had accumulated since 1929.
 "There Is an urgent need for greater attention on the part of tax collectors to the collection of back taYes,' the Governor said. "The amount of uncollected property taxes has been constantly increas- ing to the point where it totaled, on March 31, 1887, $20.800,000.
 "As you know, under the present Connecticut system each tax collec- tos upon taking office is responsi- blO for the collection of all uncol- lected taxes in his district which are collectable on that date. It has been estimated that uncollected property taxes on March 31, 1888 will probably amount to 25 to 30 per cent of the amount due. It is obvi- oly that if any collector finds his own uncollected taxes amounting to over 25 per cent of last years levy he should make every effort to in- augurate back-tax campaign so as to cut down this amount of uncol- lected taxes to at least the average in the State."
 Collections of the $3 annual Old Age Assistance Tax, he said, were better than the $2 personal tax which it replaced.
 The Governor suggested the asso- citation consider a program of legis- lation tending to improce the state tax system and refer it to the legls- lative council for approval and pre- sentation to the 1889 General assembly.

FRANCE MOVES TO PROTECT BORDERS
Events in Spain Necessi= tate Step Loyalists
 Claim New Munitions

SoSf
 Paris, March 16. (UP) - France has taken Indispensable measures" to protect the Spanish border, the government announced today as a high Spanish Loyalist source told the United Press that a nearby state" had furnished large quantity of munitions to the Loyal ists.
 Indispensable measures for se- curity have been taken along the Pyreness border which events south of the frontier necessitate," the government announcement said.
 It was denied that there had been troop endorsements, since frontier defenses were said to be sufficient.
 It was understood that the measures" announced by the French government consisted chiefly of the dispatch of four anti-aircraft batteries and men to man them, and an increase in the number of mobile guards stationed at the principal international stations.
 A reliable source said that large quantity of artillery and munitions and several experienced staff offi- cers had arrived in loyalist Spain, strengthening the determination of the government to revitalize resist (Continlled on Page Al

Haly GernanyNot To War Ouer Austria
to Beware of Plebescite-What Has Happened Was
 Destined By Fate Declares Il Duce

Rome, March 16.-CUP)--Italy and Germany will not go to war over Austria, Premier Benito Mussolini informed the chamber of deputies today in his first statement on the European crisis.
 "The hopes of democracy, Masonic lodges, and the third international that because of Austria, Italy and Germany would come to war are simply childish" Mussolini declared.
 Describing the union of Austria and Germany as "inevitable", the premier disclosed that he had warned Chancellor Kurt Schusch- nigg not to hold a plebiscite because it represented an internal machine which would explode in his hand. The German march into Austria followed this plebiscite plan.
 What happened was destined by fate to occur" MuSsolini said.
 MusSolini said that when he con- ferred with Schuschnigg in Venice in April, 1897, he told the chancel- Tor that the Rome-Berlin axis was a fundamental part of Italian pol icy and that Austria must attempt an agreement with Berlin.
 Referring to foreign reports that the presence of millions of Germans on Italy's frontier would frighten Italy, Mussolini said:
 This Italy is not easily impressed. Fifty-three nations failed to do so by sanctions. For us fascists, all frontiers are sacred. They are not to be discussed by defended.
 Then, emphasizing that there would be no war, he said, the Rome

ARCHDUKE OTTO MAKES PROTEST
Austrian Annexation By Germany Never Will
 Win Approval
By RALPH E. HEINZEN Copyright, 1888, by United Pres


 Paris, March 16.- (UP)-Adol1 Hitler,s annexation of Austria never will receive the appreciation of the Austrian people, Archduke Otto, 25- year-old heir to the non-existent throne of the Hapsburgs, declared in an interview with the United Press.
 In his first commentary on Aus trian political changes, Otto, son of the late Emperor Charles, described the German coup as defiance oi the most elementary principles of international law"
 He left Paris last night after re- portedly conferring with sympathiz- CTS concerning recent startling events. Presumably he returned to- day to Steenockerzeel. Belgium where he and his mother, Empress zita, live.
 Zita, one of the shrewdest diplo- matists on the continent, has fought for two decades to return HapS- burg to the Austrian throne. She was understood to be distraught by the turn of events.
 "At time when Austria was pre- pairing to prove to the world by a free plebiscite her desire to remain independent, the nationalist social ist Reich invaded and annexed Austria by military force." Otto said
 "In my quality as heir of 8 dynasty which for $50 years pre- sided over the glory and develop ment of Austria voice for millions of Austrians, animated by the pur- est and most ardent love towards their country, the most indignant protest against the aggression on the part of Germany of which Austria has been the victim.
 This aggression is in defiance oi the most elementary principles ol international law. protest against the violation and annexation ot Austria by Germany and I reject the plebiscite which, under threat of German arms, will have the ob- ject of justifying or legalizing this violence by ulterior means.
 "The situa ton created by such fragrant violation of justice will never have my appreciation nor that of the people of Austria.
 T put all my hope in God, and am convinced of final victory o1 that outraged law.
 Tn the name of the Austrian peo- pie, who are odiously oppressed, appeal to the conscience of all those nations to whom liberty and peace and the sworn oath are not vain words. I ask them to support the Austrian people in the unshakeable determination to regain their lib- erty and independence"

Good Government Sponsored Meeting Regarded ir Political Circles as Highly Important-Merit Sys-
 tenn Scheduled to Be Topic of Bridgeport Mayor

The merit system, as it operates in Bridgeport under his right-Wing Socialist regime, will be the theme of all address by Mayor Jasper P. McLevy tonight when he speaks un- der the auspices of the Citizens Good Government association of Waterbury. Inc, at Temple hall. Not since the Republican primary caucus of last July, which resulted ill the Fusion party of last election, has Temple hall been the scene of such a meeting as that expected to de- velop at o'clock tonight, was the comment in Waterbury today.
 The affair, in connection with the membership campaign of the Good Government association, is seen to inaugurate some portion of the pre- election program which currently find Republicans throughout the state pushing ahead their conven- ton dates by periods of as much as several weeks. For Mayor McLevy is the unknown quantity in state poli- tics, mentioned frequently as a pos sibility for the Republican guber- material nomination should the Young Republicans and the "old guard" split at the moment, find some common understanding at the the early sessions by agreeing on a compromise candidate to head the ticket.
 Thus, Waterbury, scene of the open split between the Republican factions on the occasion of the Mo Kinley association dinner here last month, once again will occupy Re- publican importance although the meeting, as publicized, is of the non- partisan category claimed by the Good Government directorate.
 While Republican newspapers have stressed the Waterbury finan- cial and political investigation as a reason for Mayor McLevy's impor- tance In the Waterbury scheme of the moment. observers are agreed that this phase of the political pie ture is being developed as early as possible to offset the Merritt Park way Investigation. now concerning the highway department and, by Its long held influence, members Of the lower house or the General Assem- bly, in practically every small town in the state.

President, Congress Not in Agreement on Means
 of Attack BUSINESS WILL BE
 TREATED AS INVALID Seven Means Proposed to Aid in Restoring Busi-
 ness Levels
BY LYLE c. WILSON United Press Staff Corresp0ndent)

United Press Staff Corresp0ndenD
 Washington, March 16. - (UP) - Powerful govern ment resources are combat ting business recession today in an effort to overcome con- ditions which imperil treas ury revenue and increase the burden of unemployment relief. The White House and Congress are divided in this attack on depression in contrast to the concerted drive under presiden- tial leadership in 1933-34. But one by one various anti-depression de- vices are being resorted to again as standard gauges of business activ- ity show precipitate declines.
 It generally is believed that Presi- dent Roosevelt was not greatly im- pressed by the seriousness of busi- ness conditions until a fortnight or more after the regular session of Congress convened in January. When Congress met then he was firmly committed to revision of antitrust laws at this session to correct what he considered to be evils and abuses of business prac- tise.
 Study Anti Trust Laws
 Mir. Rooseve1t's intimates assert now that he has decided to ask merely for a study of antitrust legislation in the message which shortly will come from the White House. Some observers regard that as an indication that MT. Roosevelt is convinced now that business should be treated for a while as an invalid not to be subjected to severe shocks.
