EW DICTATOR | ‘SCHUSCHNIGS

cellor Takes Strong + Measures to Check Nazis, Fascists.

BY RICHARD D. M'MILLAN United Press Stalf Correspondent VIENNA, June 12. — Under the “alert eyes of his two strong-men neighbors, Adolf Hitler and Benito ‘Mussolini, the youngest dictator in Chancellor

, whipping ‘new cabinet, formed to keep the nation free from Brown or Black Shirt government.

+ Thirty-eight years old, bespec--tacled, studious-looking and seemingly mild in character, the exlawyer Schuschnigg stepped into office after the murder of Chancellor and was supposed to play : “second: fiddle to his vice chancellor, .blue-blooded Prince Ernst Ruediger “von Starhemberg, in the nation’s af- _ fairs, Younger than the chancellor by two years, Prince Starhemberg was acknowledged to be the Duce’s right-hand man. He took his orders from Rome, it was said. He planned to make Austria 100 per cent Fascist, ‘on the Italian principle. One morning recently Austria awoke to. find that a bloodless revolt ‘had been staged during the night. The mild-mannered chancellor suddenly had rebelled and removed Prince Starhemberg from office, defying Mussolini and any one else, for that matter.

Dualism Is Ended

“Austria has too long suffered ~ from dualism” the chancellor said, in effect. “The present is too dangerous a time to have the reins. of government in two pairs of hands.” / He then anhounced, in the manner of dictators, that he would add the . ministry of foreign affairs to the portfolios of chancellor and minister of war, which he already ‘held, and that Socialist and simi- _ «Jar ideas would not be tolerated in ‘the autocratic - regime which he would wield to keep Austria German sbut not Nazi, friendly with Italy but never Fascist. * The ex-lawyer has set about the task of aking himself dictator of the nation in workmanlike fashdon. Under a new law which he rushed through without consulting faven the imitation Parliament, which he now dominates, Chancellor “Schuschnigg becomes supreme lead«er of the nation-wide political organization known as “the FatherJand Front.”

Sways Front Council

Previously Starhemberg held that office. Now the chancellor ~ will brook no opposition in the organization, the only political body legal in Austria since the SocialJdsts and other political creeds of the old days before Dollfuss were abolished. A “Front Council” consisting of 40 chosen members of the organJzation will support Schuschnigg ‘with advice on all affairs concerning Austria, but if he does not like their advice he can dismiss them immediately. He controls personally elections to all federal and local councils revoking any candidates as he wills. ~ Amongst many other measures introduced as “emergency steps,”

the chancellor ' announced Shati

‘Starhemberg'’s armed forces, estimated between 30,000 and 50,000 uniformed armed men in the Heimwehr, must be disbanded.

Chancellor Controls Milifia

¢ In future, only the new militia - will be p tted to carry arms outside of the regular army and the militia is under Schuschnigg’s - ‘control. All Austria is anxiously watchdng for the expected battle—the decisive struggle—between Starhem‘berg and Schuschnigg. The- Prince, “himself a fighter born of a long line of warriors whose names figure . prominently in Austrian history over many centuries, has most of his Heimwehrmen behind him,’ with ‘machine-guns and plenty of amunition to turn threats into action. © Will they fight? That is the ~ Question which awaits an answer. * Civil war in Austria hangs tremIt seems will not from his determination to ‘remove all armed power from the hands of his dismissed vice chan‘cellor, whose back is now to the

ONE-TIME LINDBERGH MOTOR IS JUNK NOW

Times Special SOUTH BEND, June 12.—An. aeroplane motor, used 11 years ago by Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, was ready for the junk heap today. It was badly damaged when the

unlicensed plane in which it had

been mounted crashed on the roof of a Niles (Mich:) school; ‘near here. The motor powered a plane flown to Notre Dame University in 1925 by Col. Lindbergh and sold. Frank Lipke, Mishawaka pilot, known as the “flying ditch digger,” escaped injury in ‘the crash as did W. E. Browning, South Bend, owner of the plane, and Kenneth Lehr, a

assenger. Lipke has figured in half a dozen crashes in unlicensed

planes, it was said.
