Safe i'm Mountains

YOSEMITE PARK, Cal, Mar. l.
CUP)-A West Los Angeles couple,
missing since Saturday during a
snowstorm in the Badger Pass
skiing area, were found safe late
today by a searching party.
A lull in the storm aided the
searchers in finding the couple, Mr..
and Mrs. E. Gibbons who had
registered at the Ahwahnee hotel
from West Los Angeles.
Gibbons was found struggling
along the trail toward the Badger
Pass ski house, following in the
footsteps of two 12-year old Menlo
Park youths who also had been
lost.
Directed by Gibbons, rangers went
to the Bridal Veil creek area and
found Mrs. Gibbons huddled around
a fire.

Tourists way to California
should not us concern.
But they should see our Valley
before they return.
They might come on 80 or high
way SO,
Some may come by rail on Sou
thern Pacific Line.
In coast cities we might meet
them,
With outstretched arms we
should greet them.
Over a million tourists to Califor-
mia come,
We might not get a million but
let's get some.
Our great future to them tell,
For our Valley has plenty to sell.

ROOF COLLAPSES
 AT NAUCATUCK
(Continued from Page D

(Continued from Page D crushed beneath the debris which must have weighed hundreds of pounds, or knocked off the walls.
 None of the occupants of the building was hurt although damage was reported to have been done in the plant of the Naugatuck Engrav- ing company, a ma chine reportedly smashed, and the kitchen of the apartment occupied by Mrs. H. C.. Lillibridge was damage9 Many were frightened.
 Was Heavy Weight
 That the weight was extremely hea y may be seen by he fact that steel girder in' the garage in the basement of the building was bent sharply in the middle and wrenched at an angle from the walls in the side. The girder was just above car own.i by Dr. Vincent P. Duffy This aut was not damaged however and Dr. DutIy removed it after the mishap. Richard Baxter of Meadow street also kept a car i14 the garage next to Dr. Duffy's but had removed it a short time prior the collapse which occurred about g a. m.
 Occupants of the building and neighbors thought an earthquake was occurring when they heard the noise of the falling TOO. The front half of the building has g roof about IS feet ..igher than the roof on the lower half of the building, and it was planned to lower the front half roof about 10 feet. Work had been underway for some time and this morning the work of lowering the back part of the front half was at tempted.
 Jacks LoOSenod
 The actual process of lowering it was in progress when the jacks be- came loosened and whirling mix ture of wood and other materials shot down.
 Occupants of the building includ- ed: The Buckmiller funeral home and the Moran flower Shop on he first floor; Arthur Friend, Mrs. H. E. Lillibridge, the Mary King Beauty Shop; Helen Crosby, Ralph and Eugene Pasho, MT. and Mrs. Norman H. Mccullough and N. Mo- Cullough and the Naugatuck En- graving company.
 Formerly Masonic Building
 The building was at one time Ma sonic hall. It was owned by William F. Stapleton but had been sold re- gently.
 A large crowd gathered to view the mishap. Just how much the damage to the structure of the build ing, if any, had not been ascer- tained definitely.
 A fire truck and police ambulance were sent there but their services were not needed. A half after the mishap, workers were busy starting to clear the wreckage, lowering heavy cement blocks and pieces of wood.

Great Britain M0ues
 To Stop Catastrophe

when an Authoritative source" here issued the following statement:
 "It was learned in official circles today that reports were received of certaing movement of troops in Bavaria. Hope was expressed that the purpose of such movement was to preserve order on the frontier"
 What May Cause Outbreak
 Dispatches from usually well in- formed sources indicated:
 l. That Schuschnigg obtained the approval of Premier Benito Mussolini to hold plebiscite in which everyone agreed Austrian Nazis were at a decided disadvan- tage; that high Italian circles may even have suggested the plebiscite.
 2. That Schuschnigg notified Great Britain and therefore un- doubtedly France, of his intention.
 3. That he did not notify Feuh- Ter Adolph Hitler.
 4. That he did not notify even Dr. Arthur Won Seyss-Inquart, sole Nazi member of the Austrian cab inet and for years his friend.
 5. That Hitler did not notify Mussolini of his intention to sum- mon Schuschnigg to Berchtesgaden February 12 to receive terms for an Austro-G German agreement"
 It seemed plain that Joachim Won Ribbentrop new German foreign minister, was worried over the Aus trian situation. He was made for eign minister in the NaZi shake-up of February after having served as ambassador to London, and came here ostensibly to wind up his af- fairs; actually to hold talks with government leaders as a basis for future British-German friendship negotiations.
 Ribbentrop In Hurry
 Today Ribbentrop was reported to be hurriedly cleaning up his pro- gram so that he could fly to Berlin, to be at Hitler's side this weekend during the plebiScite.

comment.
 The official DNB News Agency, in dispatch from Vienna, said:
 Marxist Element
 "The nearer polling day comes, the greater feeling there is among the population. The Marxist ele- ment is more and more conspicuous In some quarters it is openly ad- mitted that the question at issue in connection with the plebiscite is the restoration of the dissolved social democratic (socialisD organizations. :"
 It was disclosed that the call of Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg for an independence" plebiscite had come as complete and unwelcome sur- prise to German leaders.
 Demands Colonies
 Berlin, March II. - (UP) - The official DNB News Agency reported today that the government had an- nounced a legal claim to restora- ton of all Germany's former colon- ies by means of an exchange of notes with the Union of South Africa regarding the legal status of Southwest Africa, which was Ger man until the World War.
 The agency said that the ex- change of notes revealed divergen-

His natural anxiety was not less ened, apparently, by two talks with Viscount Halifax yesterday. It ap- pears that Halifax told Ribbentrop that Germany's demands for colon- ial territories could not be satisfied except as part of general Euro pean agreement.
 Further, it was widely reported in usually we'll informed quarters that Halifax asked Ribbentrop, and Sir Neville Henderson, ambassador at Berlin, asked the German foreign office, for assurances that Germany would not intervene in the Austrian plebiscite.
 The answer, both from Ribbentrop and the German foreign office, was said to have been that Germany could give no pledge and that it might be the duty of the German government to intervene in defense of Germans" in Austria if serious trouble resulted from the plebiscite.
 To Mention Request
 Ribbentrop was said to have promised to mention the British re- quest for assurance to Hitler on his arrival in Berlin.
 Italy entered prominently into the present situation because of her interest in maintaining Austria's independence-with but 30 miles of Austrian territory between the Brenner Pass on the Italian from tier and Germany.
 British-Italian negotiations have started at Rome and though it was admitted that they would be diffi- cult there seemed in both capitals determination to make them suc- ceed.
 But it was said frankly here yes- terday that the prospect for British German negotiations was not bright, and Ribbentrop could hardly have been pleased at the angry Anti Nazi demonstrations that have greeted him here. Police had diffi- culty last night in diverting par

to whether or not Burns had been questioned by the jury.
 There is much speculation as to what MT. Hayden might testify if he has been or will be questioned by the jury. He might tell of the manner in which the welfare de- partment was operated, its expen- ditures, it's manner of purchasing, the number of f-memberS, their salaries, or he might tell of oper- ationS of the board of welfare, as he is clerk of that body. In that capacity he keeps minutes of all the meetings of the board.
 Quiet Afternoon
 NeWspapermen covering the pro- ceedings of the investigation spent a very quiet afternoon yesterday. It was the quietest day, so far as they were concerned, since the probe of ficially opened fast Tuesday.
 The jurymen reconvened shortly after 2 o'clock, after having lunched, and James F. Purcell rejoined them to again take the witness stand. Frank l.. Santalucia, better known as Frankie Burns, president of the Connecticut Supply company, failed to appear at the court house all during the afternoon. He was in the courthouse early in the morning, and remained until about noon, leav- ing at that time with his office man. ager, Joseph Moore of g Stiles street.
 Moore Returns Alone Moore returned at about 4::24 O. clock, alone, and left the building less than ten minutes later, with sev- eral books under his arm. He did not have the books when he arrived, although he did have several papers.
 Shortly before Moore returned, Auditor Warren M. Brown, in com pany with Detective George L. Greer, left the building, carrying some books, which seemed to be ledgers of some business concern. When they returned, they carried more ledgers, which seemed not to be the same as they carried out.
 James F. Purcell was apparently the only witness who could have been examined by the grand jury yesterday afternoon, for no others were sighted entering the building and advancing to the top floor. Adjourned To Tuesday 1 Waterbury'S extraordinary grand jury adjourned at los o'clock this afternoon until 10 o'clock Tuesday morning, completing session of surprises today which saw Martini F. Hayden, clerk of the welfare depart ment, called to bring welfare depart ment records; James F. Purcell, principal witness from the control ler's office, on the stand most of the session.
 Special Prosecutor Hugh M. AL corn told newspapermen that Pur- cell would be recalled to the witness box Tuesday when the sessions re- sume. The accountant has spent most of two days before the grand jury, presumably identifying thou sands of vouchers and warrant book items which, early this year, he de- scribed as evidencing disorder and corruption"
 Prosecutor Alcorn refused to an- sWer a direct question as to "how the grand jury questioning is pro- ceeding". He granted one of his very brief interviews" to nswpapermen covering the case but, as usual, di- vulged nothing of the proceedings or of his plans.

VIOLIN MAY BE
 ONE OF VALUE

Westfield, Mass, March 11-(UP) A violin that has gathered dust for years in a Westfield closet may be a genuine Stradivarius worth $10,000 to $20,000.
 The owner, Mrs. Lillian Lumbello, retrieved it after reading an ad- vertisement offering to cvaluate musical instruments. She wrote the advertiser, describing the instru- ment minutely.
 An insurance company's instru- ment specialist came here and was so impressed that he suggested it be sent to an expert for certification.
 The violin was owned by Mrs. Lumbello's first husband, Frank Barber. who died three years ago. It was given him by his grand father.

 Vienna, March 11.-UP)-Fight- ing between Nazis and their foes spread to principal cities of Austria today. Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg summoned 10000 army reservists to the colors and was prepared to pro claim martial law. News from the German border was disquieting. The frontier was unexpectedly closed for an hour and then reopened. Nazis were in wild turmoil as they massed everywhere in demonstrations against Sundays plebiscite on Aus trian independence. Troops were on guard throughout the country. The most serious outbreak occurred in Innsbruck, where 15,000 Nazis de- fled bayoneted police and stormed their barbed wire barricades. Shooting, Rioting
 Shooting and rioting occurred in Vienna, Graz and Linz as well as at Innsbruck. An early United Press tabulaticn showed at least 150 known wounded up to mid morning. The number of minor casualties was not estimated-those nursing cuts and bruises and not requiring hospi- tai treatment.
 The demonstrators increased after a nation wide broadcast which an- nounced Schuschnigg's decision to call men of g years of age (the class of 1915) to the colors.
 Nazis immediately issued the Watchword, "The government has mobilized an army against us."
 In Innsbruck, the Nazi army" many in uniforms, halted traffic in the inner city for two hours and then marched into the older sec- tion. Police, with their bayonets ready, were outnumbered and help less to stop them.
 Troops on Guard
 Troops were on guard inside all pubic buildings in Innsbruck, Vienna and elsewhere and did not appear in the streets.
 On. the political side of the pie ture, great importance was attached to the sudden trip to Berlin of Franz von Paper, special German ambassador, to confer with Fuehrer Adolf Hitler. He left in German governmental plane which arrived last night.
 The Schuschnigg governments broadcasts continued at frequent in- tervals all during the day.
 At 10 a. m. the official radio broadcast the following:
 "For the guaranty of public order on the day of the plebiscite the l chancellor orders that effectively immediately all reservists aged 2; (the class of 1915) join their regi. ments provided they are unmarried and have at least 10 months of ac. tive service"
 As the order was sent, news hac just been received rom Salzbure that German officials suddenly closed the frontier thic morning without explanation, to the wonder of automobilists and railroad pas. sengers en route to Germany, but opened 1t an hour later.

as he prepared 4or an open clash between Nazis and government sup porters.
 The first shots echoed in Vienna today when three Catholic students were seriously wounded in a clash with Nazis. There v'as firing early this morning at Linz and three Nazis were wounded.
 Police increased their severity against Nazis and confiscated the Neueste Nachrichten, which this morning carried an article urging Nazis to boycott the plebiscite.
 Municipal authorities urged the government to take strong action to suppress disturbances because of disruption of business life.
 Nazis Unsurpassed
 But Nazis would not be suppressed, and police were kept busy trying to diSperse tl1rbule" groups in the inner city, including the university quarter.
 Police, gendarmes and troops CO., operated closely and pro-govern- mental fatherland front leaders sent truck loads of their own patrols through the city, armed with rub Der blackjacks, looking for Nazis to beat.
 Soldiers heavily guarded all in- portant public buildings in Vienna, and it was reported that they oc- cupied public buildings in Graz and Salzburg today.
 15,O0O Nazis Revolt Innsbruck, Austria, March Il - (UP)-Fifteen thousand Nazis de- fled hundreds of armed police today in the first serious clash of week end that was expected to bring dis orders all over the country.
 The NaziS, some in full uniform of their storm troops in defiance of government ban, massed in the streets to demonstrate against Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg and demanded his resignation.
 They stormed through a police cordon and barbed wire barricade which had been erected to keep them from marching into the inner city.
 Fighting roke out but the police, outnumbered perhaps 20 to one. were helpless. Police authorities or dered them to permit the Nazis to continue march but to resist with arms any attempt to occupy public buildings.
 In steel helmets, bayonets on their rifles and with machine guns, stood by and watched the NaziS parade, shouting their "Sieg Heip and I'll sil Hitler" and carrying banners say ing "Everything for Austria - But Without Schuschnigg" and 70 Free Austria-Without Schuschnigg."
 Police stood by, as the number of uniformed NaziS the streets in- creased steadily.
 Frontier Closed
 Salzburg, Austria, March 11.-(UP) The Austrian German frontier was closed suddenly today for one hour and then was reopened to traffic without explanation.
 At 5:30 a. m., travellers arriving at the frontier on the way to Ger many by automobile and railroad were told that the frontier was closed to foreigners.
 Tn German offici Us who closed it would give no reasons except that entrance to Germany was not per- | mitted.
 At 6:30 a. m. the closure order was rescinded and entrance on | normal basis was permitted

cies between the two governments on the interpretation of the legal situation.
 According to the agency the South African government expressed be- lief that the London agreement of 1923 finally settled the legal status of Southwest Africa as territory ad- ministered by the Union of South Africa.
 The government declared, how ever. the agency said
 Neither the Taking of the col- onies nor placing them under the mandate system, nor later agree ments created final legal situa- tion."
 It was added that the German government had legal claim to res- toration of all former colonies.
