control In the country generally. Upper and lower Austria and West Btyria seemed quie*. Heimwehr headquarters again today warned all men to be ready for Instant duty. Their mobilization was ordered by Starhembcrg before he left Venice for Vienna yesterday. Military detachments of all sorts were moving in and out of Vienna. They seemed to show that many people of the ordinary public were firmly with the government. Aside from members of the organized forces, the speeding motor trucks carried boys, mature men. and men of middle ase. many in civilian clothes, some in ragged uniforms, souvenirs of participation in the World war. Volunteer Without Reservation They had volunteered without reservation, to Tight former friends If necessary. But the government ordered that wherever possible volunteers should be shifted, if they desired, to other areas of the country than their homes. They were used largely for guard duty, to relieve soldiers, heimwehr and •chut/corps for service in the provinces where fighting was going on. Tne city was fairly normal in riavtime; only It night waa the emergency situation evident—cases and restaurants closed, theaters and concerts forbidden entirely because of Doll fuss' death, no street cars after 10 p. m. From the ranks of the 114 Vienna rebels, the government selected Franz Holzweber as Dollfuss’ actual assassin. They said he fired the shot that rntered Dollfuss' shoulder, went through his neek and penetrated the spine. He was a regular army soldier, but was dismissed two years ago for engaging in Nazi agitation. Government quarters saw in Hitler's placating moves his conviction that foreign intervention might follow a serious Nazi rebellion. They believed he was trying actively to discourage the Nazis. Starhembcrg for a long time has been willing, even eager, to seek friendship with Germany on a basis that would preserve Austrian independence. Zita Expresses Condolences Apropos of the fact that Papen and Starhembcrg are monarchists, former Empress Zita, mother of voung Archduke Otto, the pretender to the Austrian throne, was one of the first to offer condolences to Mrs. Dollluss. The foreign office said the fighting was getting more and more of guerilla character —a fight, a retreat to the fields by the Nazis, and surrender or flight with rifles and machine guns abandoned. It was emphasized that the government controlled all communications and that there was no way for the Nazi fighting parties to cooperate. They were over-optimistic, spokesmen said, in believing that when they rose in the villages they would receive support from the populace and the army itself. The United Press correspondent at Linz said that authorities there estimated thirty-seven were killed in last night's fighting at Phyrnpass —further indication that the casualties in the country would prove heavier than the government spokesmen here estimated. In the earlier survey of the Phyrnpass fighting it was said seven soldiers were killed.

Powers in Accord J? United Prex* PARIS, July 27.—France. England and Italy arp in complete accord on the Austrian situation, it was learned today, and have a creed that Italy will take the initiative in any diplomatic moves. Thus to Premier Benito Mussolini, once feared to be a firebrand, and even now with 40 000 men on Austria's frontier, is entrusted the task of safecuardine European peace. France and Encland, It was understood. have agreed that they will support Mussolini. The Austrian charge d'aflairs visited Foreign Minister Louis Barthou today to acquaint him with developments. He emphasized that Austria was seeking to curb Nazi propacanda. and it appeared that this might prove an important point soon. It was hinted in government circles that the Austrian government might be wise to take advantage of the proent diplomatic situation to ask Adolf Hitler, as a sign of good faith, to dissolve the Austrian Nazi legion, long sheltered in Germany and camped around Munich not far from the frontier.

M’NUTT RECITES DILLINGER CASE FOR GOVERNORS Thinks Severe Penalty for First Offense Affected His Career. By United Press MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich., July 27.—Welfare relief and the invasion of new fields of taxation by the federal government occupied the attention of the conference of Governors today as the state executives prepared to complete the business of their twenty-sixth annual session. In the discussion of these two subjects the Governors will digress from yesterday’s procedure when representatives of the national administration headed the speakers list. Today, with the exception of Aubrey Williams, assistant federal relief administrator, the addresses will be from the ranks of state executives. Governor Paul V. McNutt of Indiana opened today's session with a discussion of the recovery program of President Roosevelt. He was to be followed by Governor I. C. Blackwood of South Carolina, John G. Winant of New Hampshire and William A. Comstock of Michigan. The executive business session and election of officers will take place this afternoon. yesterday’s attack upon state monopolies in the handling of retail liquor sales by Joseph Choate, chairman of the federal alcohol administration, brought Frank A. Picard, chairman of the Michigan state liquor control commission into a sharp reply. Defends State Sales Mr. Choate had stated that when states attempt to enter into the liquor business the result is higher prices to the consumer and a return to the bootlegger. He also charged that no state system can be operated without creation of an undesirable political machine and the corruption of state employes by the liquor interests. ‘•My best reply to Mr. Choate,” Mr. Picard said, “is the record of liquor administration in the state of Michigan. Police officers of the city of Detroit and other communities; the state police, and the federal officials report that there is little bootlegging in this state.” Mr. Picard warned the Governors that at the coming session of their legislatures the liquor interests will make a drive to prevent the establishment of state control systems and to abolish the present ones. “The liquor interests have not learned a lesson from the fifteen years of prohibition and are going to try to regain their old position,” he said. Urges Sentencing Courts Governors Henry Homer of Illinois and Blackwood of South Caroline urged that the federal government reduce its tax levy upon liquors to permit cheaper prices to the consumer as a means of combating bootleggers. Need for state sentencing courts to equalize the terms of criminals convicted for the same crimes was voiced by Governor McNutt. Reviewing briefly the career of John Dillinger, he pointed out that the slain fugitive was given a ten-year

NRA Is His Brain Child, Tailor Modestly Admits Indianapolis Man Resents ‘Gerald’ Swope’s Claim of Authorship; Offers Documentary ‘Proof.’

BY GEORGE DENNY Timrs Staff Writer OUT of the fog of claims and counter-claims relating to the origin of NR A and the myriad explanations and questions as to who deserves credit for implanting the idea in President Roosevelt's mind, there has emerged the fact that the honor belongs rightfully to an In-

dianapolis resident. This was revealed today by Joseph B. (Joe-the-Tailor) Adler, 242 Indiana avenue, who stated that he cared nothing for the distinction of having initiated personally the national recovery movement, but felt only that it was high time the public knew the facts. Mr. Adler, seated in the editorial offices of The Times, whence he had journeyed reluctantly to clear the matter up once and for all, said modestly: ' Yes, I gave Mr. Roosevelt his first conception of NRA and I have the letters to prove it. I have kept very quiet about it up to 4 the present, but I noticed in a Chicago paper that a Mr. Gerald Swope was the originator of the idea, and, as I have the goods to deliver, I thought it time to let the truth be known.” u a tt MR. ADLER, tnen produced a copy of a letter addressed to Mr. Roosevelt before his inauguration. Following are excerpts from the message, which, as the author points out, was the spearhead in the recovery drive: “Since perusing an article in the paper here that you are open to suggestions relative to a method of starting the machinery in motion to bring back prosperity, I am taking the liberty of expressing my views about same. It is obvious to my mind that the most essential feature to start the ball rolling is to get the people back to work. If the figures stated in the papers are correct, there are at least 11,000,000 of people out of work. “Until about three-fourths of this number are employed, we can not consider the situation practically normal. While there are many things and features to be considered before matters are properly i, ''we is one that I think will give a great impetus to such a movement and will be of immense benefit in a psychological manner, also. “It is this: Start a movement through the press that a meeting is going to take place in New York City of at least a thousand of the leading merchants of the entire country in various cities of the United States. “Place before these merchants the proposition of concluding a certain amount of money will be appropriated for a three months’ term as a first offender while his accomplice with a previous record was given two to fourteen years. “Dillinger’s career was started in prison perhaps because of this,” Governor McNutt concluded.

test in which to see the results. Let them hire the old employes and new ones, if necessary, to start the movement. It stands to reason that millions of people are in need of many things which they are denying themselves of for lack of money. . . . When the people see that the merchants are beginning to hire people again it will restore confidence. This, in turn, will cause millions to loosen up their purse strings. . ... Asa sequence, it looks plausible to me that in a short period of time the money appropriated by these merchants will be returned in profit and prosperity gradually restored. While there are a number of things to be done to accomplish a normal condition, this is primarily the most salient feature. (Signed) JOSEPH B. ADLER, B B B NOW if there is still any doubt who should get the credit, just look at the replies I got,” said Mr. Adler. He exhibited a note which read as follows: “ ‘My Dear Mr. Adler: “ Mr. Roosevelt has asked me to thank you for your letter of Jajti. 26 and to assure you that he appreciated having the suggestion and the views which you have offered him therein. Very sincerely yours.’ ” “Signed) ‘Louis McH. Howe, secretary to Mr. Roosevelt.’ “This also was inclosed,” Mr. Adler aid. nonchalantly. Fe nded the reporter a plain piece us mimeographed paper which read: “It is my desire that all my mail be answered with the greatest possible promptitude. The many thousands of letters which have been received and the hundreds which come in every day make it impossible for me to dictate or sign replies. I have, however, asked my secretary to answer your letter, and I trust that you will understand. “Very sincerely yours, (Stamped signature) “FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT.” “Now if you will print this evidence the public will finally know who gets the credit for giving President Roosevelt the idea for NRA,” explained Mr. Adler. “It is only fair to our city that they get the credit for lifting the country out of the mire and not this Mr. Gerald Swope. “It is not my intention to expect any favors for what I have done,” said Mr. Adler as he left, “but, if there is a government posion that is suited to me, I might consider it.”

PEARL HARBOR BASE VISITED BV ROOSEVELT Witnesses Impressive Revie wby Military: Inspects Public Works. By Uni fed Press HONOLULU, T. H . July 27. Turning today to his first love—the navy—after the mast impressive military review he has seen since the World war. President Roosevelt set aside his second day In Honolulu for a visit to the Pearl Harbor naval base. In completing the picture of the defense Uncle Sam has erected to protect his mid-Pacific possessions, the President planned a thorough inspection of the strongly fortified area and of the armament centered there. After lunching with Rear Admiral Harry Yarnell at the base, Mr. Roosevelt will collect countless souvenirs of his memorable reception to the Hawaiian capital and turn toward the U. S. S Houston, which will carry him back to the United States. The President climaxed the busiest day of his vacation cruise yesterday with a ninety-mile swing around the island of Oahu, on which Honolulu is located. The tour took him past almost every public works and relief project on the island and finally to the Ft. Schofield barracks, where 8.000 troops passed before him in review. The President stood bare-headed in a light rain to watch the great military demonstration.
