GOVERNMENT OF AUSTRIA MAKES CHARGES TODAY Base Charges On Coded Documents Found On Secret Courier FORMER MINISTER CONFESSES PART Vienna, Aug. I—<U.R) Fascist Austria charged Nazi Germany with direct complicity in the bloody revolt i that took the life of Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss. The charge was made on the basis of cotied documents found in the shirt and shoes of Frank Heel, a secret courier, arrested at Kollerschlag on his way from Munich, headquarters of the German Nazi party and Austrian Nazis refuged in Germany. Col. Walter Adams, minister of propaganda, in a radio speech, said the documents showed the German government was connected with the revolt. One document, half deciphered by government code experts, said: "It follows Rintelen.” There foii lowed several undeciphered words and then: "Rintelen arrested. There will not be any more new samples of table service.” Government experts believed “table service" meant arms. Anton Rintelen was Austrian minister to Italy, a trusted aide of Dollfuss. Evidence that he conspired with Nazis caused his arrest. He shot himself. Yesteri day he was removed to a prison ■ hospital and was retired along with other prominent officials on two-thirds of the normal civil service pension. In the shoes of the arrested j courier, police found long instrucI tions providing that if the Dollfuss government fell the Nazis should give the password “summer ■ festival." This, it was said in explanation, would mean an organ- ' ized, uniformed march on government and communications buildI ings in each district, but with anus concealed under the uniform. if the government opposed the Nazi coup, the instructions pro- ' t ided, tlie password should be- ■ come automatically “prize shooting with Italian night,” which would mean that the Nazis should openly use their arms. Heel, it was said, received the documents at Passau, on the Gerj man-Austrian frontier, with in- : structions to take them to Linz and leave them at the general postoffice witli an agent. The instructions listed nine points in all, the last of which said that if any Nazis were sentI ’7c6nt£nued’6n*page*siX)* o STATE POLICE PRDBEDEATH —— Investigate Death Os Girl Found Lying On Highway Sunday Covington, Ind., Aug.
