AUSTRIA ASKS LARGER ARMY TO FIGHT NAZIS Another Uprising Imminent, Says Note Sent to Europe’s Powers. APPROVAL IS EXPECTED Britain, France and Italy to Reply Favorably, Is Belief. (Copyright. 1634. by United Press) LONDON. Aug. 14—Austria has sent a note to Britain, France and Italy asking permission to enlarge its army because it fears another Nazi putsch is imminent, it was learned today. The note seeks an agreement permitting Austria to maintain a special auxiliary armed force of 8.000 troops beyond the existing 20,000 in the regular army. The powers are considering the request and are expected to reply favorably. Advices from Vienna indicated that Prince Ernst Rudiger von Starhemberg, Austrian vice-chan-cellor, who has been conferring in Rome with Premier Benito Mussolini, would go to Paris shortly to seek French support of the army plan. Well-informed sources here were ready to credit the Austrian fear of another revolt. It is known that the abortive uprising of July 25 was premature and ill-planned. It did not have the support of the full Nazi strength, which is tremendous in Austria. The hangings which now are in progress tend to keep the Nazis infuriated and eager for reprisals. Under the St. Germain treaty, the Austrian army is limited to 30,000, although it actually totals at present a little more than 20,000. The number of gendarmes, customs officers, foresters and members of police forces must not exceed the number employed in a similar capacity in 1913. Austria has no military or naval air forces. Consent by Britain, France and Italy to a military increase would be regarded widely as a gesture of the former allies in support of Austrian independence, particularly against German encroachment. Chancellor to Rome LONDON, Aug. 14.—Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg of Austria will meet Premier Benito Mussolini of Italy, probably at Rome, about Aug. 21, it was reported in diplomatic quarters today. Von Papen Leaves BERLIN, Aug. 14.—Baron Franz Von Papen. new’ minister to Austria, has left by airplane for Vienna, it was announced officially today. Von Papen, named after the Austrian Nazi revolt of July 25 but confirmed only last week, will seek to rewin Austrian friendship for Nazi Germany. He was vice chancellor in the cabinet. During the Storm Troop outbreak of June 30 he was put under "protective arrest.” The Austrian crisis gave the government a convenient opportunity to get him out of the cabinet and into a highly important diplomatic post for which he is regarded as one of the best fitted men in Germany. ACT TO RAISE FUNDS FOR SEWAGE PLANT $314,000 to Be Obtained by Bond Issue. Following receipt of formal notification of the $126,000 grant for an addition to the sewage disposal plant, the city sanitary board met todav to take steps to raise an additional $314,000 by bond issue to meet the government grant. Action by the board has been delayed pending formal notice from i the public works administration.

EARL PETERS IS IN LINE FOR HOUSING POST Former State Chairman to Get Hoke’s Job, View of Observers. FAVORED BY FARLEY Present Appointment Only Temporary, Belief in Political Circles. R. Earl Peters, former Democratic state chairman, is expected to take over the duties of housing administrator for Indiana within the next thirty or sixty days. Although Fred Hoke, Indianapolis, who has resigned as national emergency council director for Indiana, was appointed to the housing post Sunday, the appointment is reported to be only of a temporary nature and that Mr. Peters really is destined for the past. Postmaster-General James A. Farley repeatedly has indicated thht the national administration is going to “take care” of Mr. Peters, who was defeated in the state convention race for nomination to the United States senate. Reports that Mr. Peters will take •■.he housing administrator job are in line with the feeling in state political circles. The former state chairman first was mentioned as Mr Hoke’s successor as NEC director, but Governor Paul V. McNutt and his advisers are reported to feel that such an appointment would give Mr. Peters too much political power. Mr. Peters is far from “dead politically,” they realize, and some of the McNutt political strategists do not want the former state chairman in a federal position where he would be able, if he were so minded, to rebuild his broken political fences. The housing administrator post would “take care” of Mr. Peters for his long service to the party, but would not give him the political power that NRA compliance authority would.
