AND H=RBERT RECK/ ae ARMS| FROM REGULAR ‘ORGANIZA- TION TO CARRY ON VARI-|. OUS ACTIVITIES By ALVIN STEINKOPF {My Associated Vresnd VIENNA, Oct. 19.—A new Austrian military force, its men wearing gray-green uniforms and is | caps sporting jaunty feathers, gradually coming into being. The new soldiers, carrying rifles and side arms, guard numer- ous semi-public buildings and po- litical headquarters. They oceupy many posts at which. a year ago, the Austrian private armies stood guard. The new force is the volunteer militia, conceived by Chancellor} Schuschnigg as a federally con-| trolled army of volunteers to re- place, and, to some extent, to ab- sorb the old private armies. It is no longer necessary, the chancel- lor held, for the fascists to have their Heimwehr, for the Catholies| to support their storm troops, or} the Christian labor unions to! mobilize their Freiheits Bund every time some political emer- gency arises, Slow Process But disbanding the private} armies was not accomplished sete night. The process is far from! complete. The Heimwehr, al- though not the force it was when Prince Ernst Rudiger von Star- hemberg used it to smash the so- ¢ialist administration in Vienna and to maintain order when nazi putschists assassinated Chancellor Dolifuss, retains its organization. The Catholic storm troops, the ehancellor’s own military arm, have become a “cultural and reli- gious” organization, but among; elose observers the impression prevails that these Catholic fight- ers know just where they left their weapons. The Freiheits Bund, although! friendly to the chancellor, was watching the Heimwehr, and did! not propose to be swallowed up by another organization, so long as the Heimwehr remained a posi-} i} ! j | i Germany’s only woman mail | carrier.
