It now has the double status of a |municipality and a state of the |Austrian republic. ;» Dispute Federal Decrees | Since the shelving of parliament and the subsequent develcpment of a decidedly anti-socialist and even anti-Jewish program by the gov- ernment of Chancellor BEnglebert Dollfue, there have been several (violent disputes between city-state 'and federal authorities as to who has the right to give orders bere. | When the federal government, for |instance, outlawed the socialist “shutzbund” as a menace to the | public y, the white-beared burgomaste ernor of Vienna, Karl S promptly ordered the fascist “heimwehr” to dissolve. Fed- eral police enforced the govern- |ment's degree, while the “heim- wehr” laughed at Seitz' manifesto. Chancellor Deollfus soon revok- ed the burgomaster's action and |there was no further attempt to disband the “heimwehr.” ! Chancellor Is ‘Shown But {ll-feeling remained. Fascists demanded that the government de- pose Vienna's socialist administra- tion and appoint a federal commis- sioner. The socialists countered that any such action would force an upris- ing, not of the mob against the government “but of state against state, or, to put it even more |clearly, of sovereign free-state Vi- 'enna against an unconstitutional {federal power.” The strength of this local Vienna feeling was brought home to Chan- cellor Dollfuss and, other cabinet members when they attended a recent football match between Aus- (tria and Czechoslovakia ‘When the teams appeared a band played the national anthems of the two countries. Neither the chancellor nor any of the ‘foreigners among the 50,000 spectators saw anything strange sec in the fact that the crowd cheered | the Czechoslovakian hymn. But it was something of a shock when much shrill and derisive whistling greeted the Austrian anthem. | Invoke Hitler Slogan | The anthem never has been par- ticularly popular among the social- ists, because it is sung to the tune formerly played for “God Save Our | Raiser” ~But that it should be thmllcly hissed struck Austrian re- |actionaries as evidence of a con- |siderable separatist feeling. | ‘The episode caused the ordinarily conservatively written semi-official | (Continued on Page Seven) | Benito Mussolini | WAR DECLARED; | PARAGUAY WILL FIGHT BOLIVIA Declaration Is Signed at 11 o’Clock Today by President Ayala DEMONSTRATIONS STAGED, ASUNCION ' Trouble Over Gran Chaco | District Finally Flares | Into Hostilities ASUNCION, Paraguay, May 10.—This nation form- ally declared war today | against Bolivia.

LOCALITY IS DESOLATE SECTION ntire Families Perish when Houses Collapse Over Their Heads ST. LOUIS, May 10.—Tor- nadoes along the Tennessee and Kentucky border during the night killed 67 persons and injured scores of others. Beaty Swamps, in Tennes- e, was the hardest hit with 26 known dead there. The situation is one of utter desclation in the vicinity of Beaty Swamps as described by a witness who said the country was swept clean of houses and trees and it looks like the Argonne forest re- gion of the World War. Several entire families perished at Tompkinsville, Kentucky. Twen- ty houses were blown down in the white section and about 30 in the negro section. The deaths of last night's tor- nado brought the total tornado dead in the southland during the past few weeks to 250 persons. The property damage has run into the millions of dollars and the injured to over 2,000. e NAVY LEAGUE MAKES ATTACK ON NAVY PLAN Rotation of Ships, as Pro- posed, Brings Out Statement WASHINGTON, May 10.— The Navy League which fought the “abysmal ignorance” battle with former President Hoover, has fired the first salvo across the bow of the Roosevelt Ship of State. The attack is made on the plan to rotate ships for the sake of economy as announced yesterday. Terse Statement “While the second best bull dog in the dog show may get a red ribbon, in a dog fight he gets nothing but a sound licking," the Navy League's statement says and concludes with: “ A rotation reserve fleet is very much a second best bulldog.” The attack was brought out by the statement that the Navy De- partment has tentatively decided to plaee one third of the fleet on a rotating plan under which it will be taken temporarily out of service similar to the plan put into effect for destroyers and sub- marines last year. The ships will be overhauled and repaired while being rotated, affording employment at shore sta- tions.
