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, ,

The lowly toothpick, frowned upon

So he got his Jack knife, a file and

ment. It Is as elaborate as his first Job.
In which he put 47,000 pieces of wood,
but he likes It better, he said, be
cause It has a better tone. In fact,
he wouldn't take 12000 for It.
Until he made the second Instru

he cut his finger while wotking and
now can not reach the strings.

JOHNSON'S STAND
CHICAGO COWYARD
STRIKE FLOUTED
CHICAGO, 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."

LONDON, July 28. (AP) British

SEATTLE, July 38. 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.

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

10,000 feet.
He said the gondola tore loose
from the flapping mass of fabric

at sickening speed. They attempted
to release the gigantic parachute

but their efforts met with no suc

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

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.

"At that height a man cannot

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

"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."

phasis upon reconstruction before
recovery, since If private business
recovers It will be difficult for them
to put over their ideas of recon
structing the present social and
economic order."
"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

The speaker declared that up to

that subsequent to the passage of
