HAPSBURG REIGN FOR AUSTRIA IRKS FRANCE, GERMANY PARIS, July 28. (AP) French of flciala declared their categorical op position today to the restoration of the Hapsburgs to Austria, and made clear that Archduke Otto's movements were being carefully watched. "We are absolutely against the restoration," these officials said, "and as long aa the little entente opposes It, there Isn't much llkllhood of change of heart in Parla." The possibility of an attempt to put Archduke Otto on the throne fre quently has been envisaged In France, but these sources Indicated they did not believe "this would be undertaken now." The nsme of Hapsburg especially spells for France centuries of Intrigue and opposition to French Influence in Central Europe. Furthermore officials declared that France would back to the limit the Little Entente, which fears the return of the monarchy may mean the beginning of the re formation of the old Austro-Hungar- an empire at their expense. BERLIN, July 28. (AP) The re turn of the Hapsburgs to the Austrian throne would be met with anything but favor by the nazi regime. If utter ancea against monarchlsm by govern ment leaders, Including Prussian Pre mier Goering and Propaganda Minis ter Goebbels are any indication. Nazi speakers have brnnded the monarchists aa reactionaries and de crying the idea of a king or emperor aa something that has outlived its usefulness. Should Germany's neighbor state go back to the form of government it had before the war. It was felt here, the nazi regime would fear that Idea might spread to Germany also. ROME, July 28. p) Italy would turn thumbs down on any Immediate suggestion for the restoration of the Hapsburgs to Austria, especially If It Involves placing 'that -young man Otto on the throne," it waa said hi semi-official circles today. In response to a query as to wheth er Prince Ernst von Starhemberg's chancellorship of Austria indicated a trend toward the return of the mon archy, these circles declared that the present head of -the Austrian govern ment had pledged himself to carry out the policies of the late Chancel lor Dollfuss, and that these precepts were opposed to a monarchlal resto ration. It was recalled here that only a few months ago when the name of Otto and Princess Marie were linked in re ports of another possible royal wed ding, II Duce's paper, Popolo D'ltalU, scoffed at Otto as a "thick -headed young Hapsburg" who could not pos sibly understand fascism. - ,, HITLER CHOICE BERLIN, July 28. (&) Delay In the format acceptance by Austria of Franz von Papen as special minister was causing an under current of worry here tonight, despite official state ment to the effect the matter could not be regarded as serious. Wllhelpistrasse declared the delay In approving the appointment of the conservative Catholic was easily ex plained by the day's events in Vi enna. Nevertheless callers at the for eign office got a distinct Impression the postponement waa causing wor ry, lest it develop Into an "Incident." Austrian officials were said here to have resented Chancellor Hitler's an nouncement of von Papen's appoint ment to succeed the recalled Kurt Relth without first consulting Vien na, in accordance with diplomatic usage. The cabinet, with Hitler presiding, waa understood to have met in Mun ich today to discuss foreign affaira, , particularly the Austrian situation. , Steamboats On Columbia, THE DALLES, July 28.

(AP) Indica tion that the 8,400 members of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butchers union would Join the 800 striking stock handlers at the Union stock yards was seen as a possibility tonight. A conference between William Col lins, organizer for the meat cutters, and John Gorman, leader of the handlers' union, came as Gen. Hugh Johnson, NRA administrator, in Agua Caltente, suggested what amounted to an immediate truce in the strike tlelng up the yards since Monday. Johnson further added that if nec essary ,he would impose a code on packers, and advocated an industrial relations committee to consider air points at Issue between the handlers and the Chicago union stock yards and transit company. William J. O'Connor, one of the officials of the transit company, said: The general apparently had been misinformed about some of the sit uation here. Livestock is being cared for and none of the packers are In volved In this strike. The strike Is merely one of some 800 of our em ployes who act aa cowboys In the yards." Collins said he expected to deter mine sentiment of the meat cut ters' union for settling a definite date for a strike. Redmond Brennan. counsel for the meat cutters' union and for the handlers' union, said: "We have much confidence in the present mediators and see no reason why an 'industrial relations commit tee' should be sent from or named by Washington." "And as for establishment of a packers' code, why didn't he do that six months ago when a hearing was held upon the matter. We have no further guarantee that auch action would be taken now."

(AP) British government officials left their offices today for the week-end with their worries over the Austrian situation considerably lessened. They feel the widely-voiced fear of a European war has bc-an greatly allayed by the trend of events in both Italy and Ger many aa well aa In Austria Itself.

WP) While striking longshoremen debated terms for ending the walkout, Collector of Customs Saul Haas clashed again to day with Vice President A. P. Haines of the American mall line, refusing to permit the steamship Emma Alexan der to leave for California until she obtained a competent crew. 'x Haas refused to grant clearance pa pers until she had a full crew, Just as he detained the President Orant a few days ago. Haines protested thfct because of the seamen's strike, there were no able-bodied seamen avail able, and asked that he be allowed to pay a $500 fine and sail with a short crew. Haas said he sent a customs officer, posing as a seaman desiring work, to the line's employing sgents, the .of ficer being Informed that no men were being hired. The collector then demanded that the American mall line get the men. This was done, and the Emma Alexander sailed. ' "They can get all the able-bodied seamen they want, and I shall Ins'st that all vessels be fully mani.ed," said Haas. New Const Cutter ASTORIA, Oie.. July 28. p( Commander R.

IN RIPPED CRAET (Conttnuea .'?m page one) they had busied themselves with attempting to land their cargo of precious scientific Instruments safely. Major William E. Kepner, pilot on the adventure, telephoned his wife at Rapid City, 8. D., where the flight began at 6:45 a. m., to Inform her that neither he nor hla colleagues, Captain Albert W. Stevens and Cap tain O. A. Anderson, were hurt. Then he related the final episodes of the epic Journey into the heavens. The world, via short wave radio contacts, had been Informed of the breathleas sky drama until commun ication had been cut off at about 10,000 feet. He said the gondola tore loose from the flapping mass of fabric at 8,000 feet. Then, he reported to the Seventh Army Corps headquar ters, at Qmaha, Neb., he and his two companions clambered out on top of the eight feet by four metal ball as It rushed toward the ground at sickening speed. They attempted to release the gigantic parachute with which the sphere was equipped but their efforts met with no suc cess. 500 Foot A Minute Drop They laughed about their exper iences. They had made light of their predicament even when they were swinging In space 60,000 feet above sea level, hemmed In by Intense cold and darkness and the uncertainty that revolved about the tears that appeared In the big bag- They had been calm while groups in contact with them by radio had balled their fists In anxiety as the airmen an nounced they were dropping "five hundred feet a minute." Kepner gave a graphic account of the first drama broadcast from the stratosphere and of the grim battle against death and disaster. He aald he first sighted the rips In the enormous envelope at the peak of the ascent 60,000 feet. The cause he attributed to "either strain or Inflation." ' "We looked through a window and saw a hole CO feet long," he related. "We sat and sort of wetted to see If we were going to come down In the gondola at about a mile a min ute and would have to get out, "At that height a man cannot live. At 30.000 feet we opened our gondola and got out on top and looked around and thought then we might be able to land it and save the instruments. "Anyway we thought we would take a chance to save them and try to land, for some of those Instru ments were very valuable. "But the speed we were coming down 500 feet a minute, although sometimes It was not over 300 had a parachuting effect which was too much for the balloon. It tore out all the lower part and Just left the upper part like a parachute." BASEBALL Night Game. SACRAMENTO, July 28.

"The brain trust in Washington and other theorists and reformers want to break down private indus try, they wish to stifle private busi ness through elimination of the ele ment of profit, substituting instead an altruistic form of business de signed only to furnish employment," the senator charged. "They are urg ing that private business fall. "The day will speedily come when, If they are allowed to continue their theories and throttle private busi ness, they will point to Its failure and urge that everything be done by the government." In illustrating his contention of the drift toward state socialism In America, Senator Stelwer pointed to the securities act passed in 1933 giving the federal trade commission power to regulate aale of securities. He next pointed to the stock ex change act of J934 as a step towsrd state socialism. "Under these two acta we have a condition In this country where for the past year and a half there has been no opportunity to sell pri vate stocks and bonds, constituting a monopoly on government and municipal securities which are ex empt from the two acts," he said. The speaker declared that one of the fundamental questions In Amer ica today la whether this tendency toward state socialism is to be toler ated. Ringing echoes of Lincoln's plea for the preservation of. government for, by, and of the people were snatched out of history and flung again into the political battle of Oregon by Congressman Mott as he laid down a challenge for republi cans to recapture the constitutional functions of congress at the fall elections. Addressing the banquet of the stst association, Congressman Mott declared the great issue today was whether people would allow their constituted representatives make the laws of the country or whether they would turn all these powers over to bureau chiefs responsible only to the preMdent. "Within the last few months the Issue In this country has been clear ly defined by the adminlstratlon,' Mott declared. "The last session of congress saw the abject surrender of legislative, delegated to the congress by the constitution, to the president by the overwhelming democratic majority. "I feel safe In saying to you to night that most of this power already is vested in the president who may, at his discretion, order the free coinage of sliver, Issue paper money In any amounts, take silver as payment for foreign debts I believe that saving for the future is mighty like prepar ing for a good har vest. Plant as much as you can as early as you can, and It's just a matter of time 'til you roap the benefits. Think 0 The First National Bank "A Departmentized Bank" and do many other things properly belonging to congress. "This issue of constitutional gov ernment against government bureau cracy Is, In my opinion, the most Important Issue ever raised In this country since the declaration of independence." The speaker declared that up to the passage of the national recov ery legislation, there was no real issue between the two parties, but that subsequent to the passage of this act, the president began de manding and receiving from congress greater legislative powers, beginning with the national economy act. This act, he declared, repealed all prev ious veterans' legislation and by passing it congress surrendered all Jurisdiction over veterans' legislation to the president. The tariff bill, the Taylor grazing bill and the Bnnkhead cotton bill were other Instances of release of legislative authority to the president, the speaker declared.
