MUNICH, July 30-—Persistent, but unconfirmed rumors were heard today that Chancellor Hit- ler intends to dissolve the Austrian Nazi legion as soon as feasible The dissolution of the organiza- tion was considered by some to be imperative for the normalization of Austro-German relations because of the dissatisfaction reported to be increasing among its leaders.

By the Associated Press. London, July 30.—A reliable source stated tonight that the British govern- ment has learned that an official state- ment was issued in Berlin last Wed- | | nesday evening proclaiming the over- throw of Chancellor Dollfuss of Aus- tria in “a great popular revolt * * * as | important as it is welcome.” This statement, according to the same source, was withdrawn a half hour later before it could be published in any of the newspapers of Germany. Quarters close to the British gov- ernment attach great importance to the fact that this statement was pur- ported to have been issued by the offi- | cial German news agency in Berlin, in view of protests emanating from the German capital disclaiming any con- necticn with Bavarian activities and Austrian internal affairs, Would “See to” Government. The German statement was said to have been based on “official and pri- vate reports from Austria” and con- cluded “The new government will see to it | that order is restored and that pan- Germanism is given a home also in German Austria.” No “new government” with such & | program had even a momentary con- trol in Austria, the Nazi rebellion hav- ing thus far proved abortive The dismissal of Theodore Habicht from his position as Nazi leader in Bavaria is believed in authoritative quarters here to have been connected with this embarrassing statement. Baldwin Denies War Threat. Meanwhile, Stanley Baldwin, acting | prime minister of Great Britain, said in the House of Commons today that there is no immediate danger of war in Europe, despite the difficulties and perplexities of the present situation.

TOKIO, J 30 (#) —The first nary phase of Japan's annual will begin August 1 DECLARED ACUTE Italy Expected to Cross Bor- der—Powers May Reject Von Papen. BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. | The European situation entered into | an acute phase today, according to re- ports received in Washington The salient point appears to be the fact the Austrian government is in- capable of crushing the rebellion which broke out after Dollfuss’ assas- sination, and Italian intervention ap- pears more probable than a¢ any time since the outbreak The second dangerous point is the move of the principal European pow- ers to block the acceptance of Vice | Chancellor von Papen as German | Minister to Vienna. Diplomats are | divided in their opinion as to what | the effect of this slur on the German government will be. Dispatches from Vienna indicate clearly that, in spite of the shift in the Austrian cabinet, whereby the in- experienced Prince von Starhemberg | has yielded the chancellorship to the slightly more experienced , Dr. Kurt Schuschnigg, there is pn%i,nny no | | chance .of the Austrian gpvernmen: | being able to put down thé Nazi re- bellion. The government forces a incapable of disbanding the Nazi or- ganizations. Consequently, Italian in- | tervention appears as more than a probability. Yugoslavs May Act. While Great Britain and France agree that Italy should be permitted | to send all the troops which may be required .to cope with the Austrian | situation—such an action will involve Italy in a guerilla warfare which will | keep her busy for many months if | not years—the attitude of the Yugo- | slav government is still lacking clarity. \ For the time being the Belgrade | government has not made any belli- cose move, but troops are being kept in readiness to be rushed to the Aus- trian frontier at a moment's notice. ‘The excuse for such preparation is | that there is fighting between the Austrian government troops and the Nazis rebels very close to the Yugo- slav border; hencé the necessity of having an adequate force to intern | fugitives from Austria who may enter | Yugoslavia. The pretext of this con- centration is plausible, but diplomats | here are shaking their heads and be- lieve only half of the Belgrade story. The strained relations between Yugo- slavia and Italy are too well known, not to cause skepticism of the Bel- | grade explanations. It is feared that should the Italian troops enter Austria a similar move will be made by the Yugoslavs and the consequences of the two armies meeting on “neutral” territory lend themselves to the most gloomy specula- tions. The rejection of Von Papen as Min- ister to Vienna is fraught with still more serious dangers. __There is no doubt such a rejection (Continued on Page 2, Column 5.)
