RESTORATION OF OTTO TO THRONE OF REUNITED NATION MAY BRING EUROPE PEACE New Austro-Hungarian Kingdom. With Hapsburg Again on Throne. Believed Near as Interna! Trouble Threatens to Stir Up War. BY \\ lI.LIAM PHILIP SIMMs' -He aa rd Hrnm F.ditor WASHINGTON, July 31.—Behind the blood-splashed scene- ot central Kurope forces are at woik which may yet piare anew Austro-Hungarian kingdom on the map and restore a Hapsburg to this throne.

Bitterly hostile as some of Austria’s more powerful neighbors are to such a restoration. they may eventually grab at it, as a drowning man seizes a straw, to prevent Europe from being engulfed in another sea of blood. Ir.tru <e to brine this about, has b*" n .n full sit ir.K tor mor* 1 than a y ar. Tnr a a ;na?;on of Chan(ri.or Dolifuvs. and subsequent rvrn".' have increas'd the activities ot t:;** plotter? to a feverish tempo. In Belgium, distant a short night s loumey by train, young Anhduke Cr’o. on of the l<e Carl IV. F.mpr-ror of Austria, King of J> alrrn and Apostolic King of Kunn.ry. waiting for his hour to strike M r important still is his mother he former Empress Zita widow of the dead nip<ror-king, one of the most ambnous and one of the • women of Europe. Never for a single moment has she ceased to lav plans to put her son on the throi ■ preferably of a reunited Aus-tria-Hungary. Opposition Not Keen Now Otto this vear celebrated his twen-ty-fir t bir’hda5 T with royal eclat. His handsome mother is just 42. There was a time when Great Britain, France, Italy, Yugoslavia. Rumania and Czechoslovakia were in complete harmony that neither Austria nor Hungary should become a monarchy again and. above all. no Hapsburg should ever remount a throng m central Europe. Today the situation is vastly chan rd. Oppo ition is far from being general or as keen as it was. Notably in Great Britain, official sentiment is reported as being distinctly favorable to Otto. The reason is obvious. The conviction is fast growing that unless something is done, and soon, to stabilize conditions in Austria, that little country will blow up with a roar that will wake Europe. Nazis Seek Annexation Adolf H itler and his Nazis have i piratiied Austrian annexation for moie than ten years. The fact that he is backing water now. since the tragedy of la.-t week, means nothing Union of Austria with Germany remains a major plank in the Nazi I procram, m fact, union is vital if the rest of the Nazi program is to he carried out and a union of Europe s Germanic races effected. Oppo ed are Italy, Francp, England. Yugoslavia, Rumania and Czechoslovakia. But as Austrian Nazis are hand in glove with their German cousins, another explosion is just a matter of time. Economic difficulties within Austria and Hungary are adding fuel to th*' flames. And most of these difficulties are traceable to the blunders at Versailles, where the vast Austro-Hungarian empire was cut up into such small parts that economic independence is next to impossible. Roth Nations Small The old empire had 261.000 square miles and 51.000.000 population. Present-day Austria has only 32,000 square miles and less than 7.000.000 population. She is not as large as Indiana. Hungary has 35.piiles and 9.000.000 population She is smaller than Ohio. Combined. Austria and Hungary would not be as large as Missouri. Yet each has a large capital— j Vienna boasts a third of the total population of Austria—to support. They lark food stuffs and raw materials. They are surrounded by I tt’de barriers. Combincdthev would! s.iil be baci.v crippled, but their situation would be somewhat improved. Such a combination might remove. for a time at least, the imminent dancer of war arising in this European danger spot—particularly if the nations concerned created a • Locarno of the Balkans" to underwrite 'he status quo. Time and events, therefore, seem to be plavmg into the hands of 21-yrar-old Otto. BELGIAN AMBASSADOR DEAD IN WASHINGTON Paul May Succumbs Following Emergency Operation. tty t Pr> ■* WASHINGTON.

HINDENBURG AT POINT OF DEATH Hitler Hurrying Back to Berlin: Fear President Sinking Swiftly. lContinued From Page One) the president of the supreme court hall serve a.s acting president in the interim before an election. It was believed, however, that in \iew of the urgency of the national and international situation, the cabinet would be called to transfer Hindenburgs duties, if he died, to Hitler. Then Goering or Rudolph Hess, Hitlers chief deputy in the Nazi party itself and apparently a fastrising man in the national administration. would be named vicechancellor. There is no vice-chancellor now as Von Papon relinquished that past —or was politely deprived of it—when he was named minister to Austria. Austria had not yet accepted him today. Newspapers Are Gagged Newspapers were ordered to publish nothing regarding the president's condition except official statements. They were ordered also not to telephone Neudeck on their own initiative. Next they were ordered to publish no extras regarding the president’s condition and indulge in no speculation regarding a possible successor. Four physicians were in attendance on Hindenburg. Their first formal bulletin was timed 12:25 p. m. <5:25 a. m., Indianapolis time*. It said: "Neuderk—The president arose from bed and took nourishment this morning and showed a lively interest in his surroundings. "After his return to bed he entered into a peaceful sleep. There is no fever. The pulse is strong. The rate has increased slightly. (Signed > Professor Sauerbruch. Dr. Kraus. Dr. Adam. Professor Kauffman.”

JOHN DILLINGER IS PROVED DEAD BY FEDERAL MEN Fingerprints Never Lie. They Point Out: Father, Too, Agrees. (Continued From Page One)

prints they had made from the unprotesting hands of the dead gangster. They compared these prims with fingerprints taken at Crown Point, Michigan City, Tucson and Indianapolis. The Prints Never Lie Here the acid had made a slight smudge on a line in the thumb, there a whorl or loop was partly obliterated by the bandit's desperate efforts to prevent himself from being identified. But after a study, which consumed more than an hour, the fingerprint men were ready to pronounce unqualifiedly that the dead man was John Dillinger. Captain Timothy A. O'Neil of the East Chicago police confirmed the identity for The Times yesterday. "Fingerprints are the only infallible method of identifying criminals which we have.” said Captain O'Neil. “Every living person, whether they happen to twins or even quintuplets, have different whorls and loops on their fingertips. "tp Dillinger’s case some of the whorls and loops were marred slightly in the prints due to the acid which he had used, but the general conformation of the fingerprint marks was unmistakable. There is just no question that the man we got was Johnny.”

“My Boy,” Sobs Father And if there were any doubt of the identification. John Wilson Dillinger, 70-year-old father of the bandit, disproved it when he viewed his son in the McCready-Coombs funeral home, North Sheridan drive, Chicago. Under a strong light in the blackdraped front room of the undertaking establishment Dillinger's body lay waiting to be transported to I Mooresville for burial. Badly shaken by an all-night j grilling by federal agents and unnerved by the shock of his son’s death, the aged farmer was led to the room where the body reposed in a wicker basket. For a moment the elder Dillinger gazed carefully at the face which had sent a quaking fear into the hearts of bank employes in a dozen state. "My boy,” he cried, and tears of genuine sorrow fell slowly down the seamed cheeks of the old countryman. Proven Beyond Doubt Since then the bandit’s body has been viewed by scores of detectives, relatives and acquaintances—and the "corpus delicti.” as the lawyers say, has been proven beyond the shadow of a doubt. During this series The Times will print two sets of Dillinger fingerprints—before and after death—to show the police proof. Announcing that he will devote the rest of his life to “preventing Indianapolis boys from going the way of Dillinger,” the Rev. Charles Fillmore, who baptized and gave last rites to the bandit, commended The Times series. "Anything which tends to reveal the futility of a life of crime is good,” said Mr. Fillmore. "The big thing now is not so much apprehending the rest of the Dillinger gang as finding the cause of crime throughout the country.” Mr. Fillmore added his word to the proof that the man he buried was in reality Dillinger. "He had changed considerably since I saw him a year ago,” said Mr. Fillmore, “but there is no doubt that the man I fead prayers over was John Dillinger.” Case Not Yet Over But with the end of the gangster leader—an end which proves the foolhardiness and the utter futility of the life of a criminal—the mystery of Dillinger’s death has increased. In the dimly lit office of the state police, in the basement of the statehouse, where most of the activity in the hunt for Dillinger centered, a strange new activity in the case grips the entire force of manhunters. "The Dillinger case is not over yet,” says Captain Matt Leach of the state police, who is conceded to know more about the activities of the terror mob than any one else. Pressed for details, Captain Leach shakes his head enigmatically and refuses to answer questions. Today it was learned he is in Chicago and the northern part of the state investigating purported evidence which points to a scandal in high places in connection with the death of Dil- ; linger. In the course of this series it will be shown how an attempt to hush all details regarding what actually happened at the killing of the notorious gangster has been made; it will be shown how "friends” and

sweethearts of the slain gangster were more to be feared than the police; it will tell the story of a man who lived with Dillinger for three weeks and then double-crossed his “paJ,” the federal agents and the police. The series will tell of the lives of underworld women who became enamored of Dillinger—one even going to jail for him—and of how the outlaw showed his unfaithfulness by wearing the picture of a woman suspected of “turning him in,” in the back of his watch, when he was killed. Stranger than the criminal gangs of fiction, the series will show, the intricate code system and the other details painstakingly worked out by which the gang were able to outwit the police of the country for many months. It will reveal many hitherto unpublished facts about the Crown Point jail break; the plots which Dillinger made to free his henchmen in Columbus penitentiary and other incidents in the career of the man who thought he was "bigger than the law.” But above all the series will show with a hundred proofs that “you can't win in crime.” Tomorrow—How the Dillinger gang operated.

GRAND JURY TO PROBE DEFUNCT BANKS IN CITY Thorough Investigation Is Ordered by Baker in All Cases. The Marion county grand jury today was speeding through routine matter to clear the decks for a thorough investigation of all the city's defunct banks after emphatic orders yesterday from Criminal Judge Frank P. Baker that it conduct such an inquiry. Bankers who have violated criminal laws must be punished just the same as other violators of the criminal code. Judge Baker asserted. Judge Baker asked a “complete and fair" investigation "so conducted that when it is through every citizen will understand that a thorough investigation has been held and an honest conclusion arrived at.” "Do not be swayed by sentiment or public comment,” Judge Baker said. “J. do not want anybody protected or persecuted.” Judge Baker said that while the court had been informed of the investigation of Alvah J Rucker, special bank investigator appointed by Circuit Court Judge Earl Cox, only through the press, the matter was of such public importance that the grand jury should study the report.
