VISCOUNT HALIFAX <>N I -' 1-- > JFAQ* ON E ) diet and his ringing, defiant, final words: “Until deatl) the red white-red. the banner of our beloved fatherland. Austria!” The first Nazi reaction today came from Linz. There, as elsewhere throughout the country, teachers explained the speech to their pupils, emphasizing Austria's independence. Between 500 and 609 hoys of the college at Linz paraded after the teachers' explanation, calling for union with Germany and shouting: “Heil Hitler! One nation,' one reich!” Recently the largest college at Linz was closed because students painted swastikas and other Nazi emblems and slogans on classroom walls. Newspaper headlines showed plainly the popular feeling. Crammed into the lines of type was jubilance: “Austria, free and independent' "Austria remains free and independent!” “A statesman has spok an!" “Berchtesgaden: a monument to peace;” “Schuschnigg on German peace." "Now’ there will be peace.” Now the country awaited the reaction of its own Nazis and the Nazis of Germany, reported themselves to have been surprised and annoyed at the firm tone which Schuschnigg took in a speech regarded by non-Nazis of Austria as masterful and historic. Schuschnigg had gone on record as determined that Austrias independence and Christian state foundations should be defended to the death. It was admitted, in view of the speech, that the dangers to be feared had been exaggerated by an overstrung, war-scared world. Schuschnigg and many persons of the Danubian basin generally had been inclined to believe that Fuehrer Adolf Hitler could be trusted not to use armed force against Austria. Yet an avalanche <n rumor had buried tnis tact. o — 19 Percent Fail On Driver Examinations Lafayette, Ind., Feb. 25 —fUP) — Os the 50.C00 motorists who have been given examinations under the new state drivere’ license law, about 19 percent have failed to pass the tests, according to Joseph Lingo, Purdue University safety specialist.
