With Which to Pay ASKS DEPARTMENTS TO AID Makes Statement to Give Pub- lic Full Information of Office Condition The problem of operating the gov- ernor's office without funds, because of an overdraft by his predessor, Fri- day confronted Acting Gov. Ole H. Olson. Olson said he found unpaid bills of $1,000 when he took office recently on the ousting of William Langer, but only $362 with which to pay the bills. He said since he is charged with the duty of carrying out the functions of the office, it will be necessary for him to call on departments having avail- able funds to assist him. The postage fund is exhausted, while the office supply fund also is empty, with qutstanding accounts of $211.29, Olson said. A balance of $5.58 was found in the printing fund, with outstanding bills dating back to August, 1933, in the amount of $252.34. The miscellaneous fund has a bal- ance of $160.13, but telephone bills, for $533.10 dating gack to April, 1933, have accumulated. “From such advice as I am able to obtain,” Olson said, “I am informed I have no fund from which to trans- fer.

Contracts for general construction, Plumbing and heating and electric wiring and fixtures will be sent im- mediately to Washington for final approval. Construction will begin as soon as the federal officials pass on the contracts. Members of the school board met. with the state engineer and rep- resentatives of the architects and contractors, to consider the alterna- tives found necessary when bids sub- mitted were discovered to be approx- imately $20,000 higher than the funds Provided for the $360,000 project. Alternatives decided upon by the School board and approved by Knud- sen will leave the domestic science department and five classrooms tem-' Porarily incompleted but will detract nothing from the generat utility of the building, in the opinion of the board. Besides these alterations the con- tracts for lockers and furniture equipment were withheld. Maurice Schumacher, Minneapolis. was awarded the general construction contract on @ low bid of $317,600. The plumbing and heating contract went to J. P. Gallagher, Faribault, Minn., and the electric wiring and fixtures contract will be handled by B. K. Skeels and R. L. Melville, Bismarck, who submitted a bid of $17,005.

City Remains Under Martial Law With 1,200 Troops Stationed in Loop 5 Minneapolis, July 27.—(#)—Em- Ployers rejected a suggestion they re- consider their refusal of peace tefms advanced by federal mediators in the truck drivers strike Friday as fed- eral authorities turned inquisitorial eyes on two suspected Communists linked by police with the strike. Reiterating their previous answer they “would not deal with Commun- ists,” the employers adv'sed the Rev. Francis Haas and E. H. Dunnigan, mediators, they would not enter into any arbitration with a wage scale fixed in advance. The city remained under military rule with guards patrolling the streets as federal immigration uuthorities ex- amined documents and letters seized when James P. Cannon, editor of the Militant, Communist League publica- tion, and Max Schatman, editor of the New International, were arrested. Both men, charged with vagrancy, were released upon presentation of a writ of habeas corous in district court Friday morning. They were immedi- ately rearrested by guardsmen and taken to the armory. They will be tried in military court, officials indi- cated. May Communists Results of the investigation, federal men said, would determine whether deportation: proceedings against the two would be started. While was made into this phase of the sit- uation, business was conducted as usual. The chief of police said letters found in possession of Cannon and Schatman were addressed to them in care of Vincent Dunne, one of the leaders in the strike that reached a climax a week ago with the firing on Pickets by police. Sixty-eight persons went to hospitals as a result, one of them dying from wounds. One of the letters, Chief Johannes said, discussed Communist plans at length and referred to the “possibility ot further strike developments in the class struggle in general.” The letter told how Communists had agents agitating both here and in the San Francisco strike, Johannes said. Other letters and telegrams, ad- dzessed to Dunne, were signed Amoy Arne Swabeck, national secretary of the Communist League of America, in New York. Simon Barach, released from a hospital Friday, was taken in custody. He was wounded in the shooting last week. His name and address also were among the effects of Cannon and Schatman. He told police, they said, he did not belong to the drivers union but was “called on to assist” the pickets.

It was regarded as an astute mot to assure the world Germany's at titude towards Austria is all that can VON PAPEN NAMED AS MINISTER 70 WAR-TORN AUSTRIA Conservative’s Appointment Is Seen as Strategic Move by German Nazis Berlin, July 27—(4—Chancellor Hitler named the conservative vice chancellor, Franz von Papen, to be- come minister to Austria Friday ia what was regarded as an astute move to assure the world Germany's attitude toward Austria is everything that can be desired. Propaganda ministry an- nounced that Von Papen, now in Switzerland had accepted the ap- Pointment. He has long been a storm center of the Nazi government because of his sharp criticism. In keeping with custom the ap- pointment was formally framed as a request to President von Hinden- burg, who has yet to reply with his necessary consent. Approval of the President was taken for granted, how- ever, government circles assuming his opinion had been asked beforehand. Should Von Papen go to Vienna Hitler would achieve th long-sought wish to have Von Papen out of the cabinet. The Austrian post became vacant with the summaty withdrawal from Vienne of Kurth Rieth, follow- ing the assassination cf Chancellor Dollfuss. Von Papen, who has dared to crit- icise the Nazi regime, is at present Saar commissioner. His appointment, it was believed, would be highly agreeable to other foreign powers. Hitler's recognition of this was seen in his expressed wish in the letter to Hindenburg to “relax the general sit- uation” in Europe, especially as re- gards Germany and Austria. The move likely will result in the sppointment of Herman Wilhelm Goering, Hitler’s right hand man in the June 30 revolt and Premier of Prussia, to the vice chancellory. Many believed Von Papen’s. appointment HEIMWEHR PREPARES FOR NAZIS ATTACK UPON CAPITAL CITY Machineguns Mounted on Vien- na Skyscraper Overlook- ing Conflict Zone DEATH TOTAL OVER 500 Government Learns Forces Mo- bilizing at Rail Station for Big ‘Putsch’ (Copyright, 1934, By the Associated Press) ) Vienna, July 27—()—The Austrian government Friday afternoon began feverish preparations for the defense of the capitol city. Whole sections of the country were reported in a state approximating anarchy. In Vienna itself heavy cordons of Fascist Heimwehr troops were drawn around the districts in which are the nl important government build- ings. Machine gun companies mounted their weapons on the roof of the “Hochhaus,” Vienna's skyscraper, giving the guns a position of com- mand over the federal chancellory on the Ballhausplatz. The Ballhausplatz itself was jam- med with Heimwehr troops. All government buildings were hur- riedly supplied with candles as an evidence of fear that the electric sup- ply may be cut off. A message made an urgent demand that all men available be sent im- mediately to Carinthia where the Nazis apparently were making big | gains. Officers in the Heimwehr head- quarters estimated that 180 Heim- wehr had been killed in Austria by Thursday at midnight. This estimate did not include the casualties in the regular army, in the Police, in the gendarmerie and among the Nazis. : Estimate 2,500 Nazi Dead This same source estimated that the Nazis had lost 2,500 dead and wounded. All death estimates at present are unreliable, but the best sources in- dicated the aggregate death total of all forces including the Nazis already hhas greatly exceeded 500. Unverified reports said Nazis were congregating in the railway stations outside intending a surprise attack on the inner city. The country whose little chancel- lor, Engelbert Dollfuss, was assas- sinated by Nazis Wednesday, is wracked by guerilla warfare, pitched battles for the possession of towns and railway lines, border skirmishes, hunger riots and — finally — peace moves. The government, leaded by the Fascist Prince Ernst von Starhem- berg, claimed it was rapidly gaining the upper hand in the chief trouble zone, and especially in Styria where an official communique declared the Nazi rebellion was completely crush- ed. But even official accounts said bitter fighting was continuing in Carinthia It was officially confirmed that Austrian Legionnaires from Bavaria attempted to invade Austria. An official death list placed the number killed since the beginning of the fighting Thursde” at upward of 400 with thousands wounded. These wounded include many fed- eral soldiers whom the Nazis delib- erately shot in the legs. The Nazis still hoped that the army would go over to them. Leaders Lose Control An ominous feature of the situa- tion is the fact that the highest Nazi leaders themselves no longer seem to be in control of their troops in the “We hope,” one leader said, “that Chancellor Hitler's appointment of Von Papen as minister to Vienna will contribute to the cessation of hostil- would not be temporary, as Hitler ities. says.
