'Austrian Chancellor Is Slightly Wounded; Nazis Rounded Up VIENNA, Oct. 3—A young Nazi emptied a revolver in an attempt to | assassinate Chancellor Dollfuss today in the lobby of the Austrian Parlia- ment, but inflicted only slight flesh wounds. The attempted assassination was the work of Rudolf Vergil, a former private discharged from the army for his fanatical espousal of the Nazi cause. Two other unidentified men were arrested as his accomplices. Dollfuss, who is ruling Austria with an iron hand, setting up a Fascist dictatorship of his own, under the guidance of Mussolini, has incurred the violent enmity of the Austrian Nazis for his refusal to allow Austria to be annexed to Nazi Germany. 12 TO 1 AGAINST COMPANY UNION.
