Unnumbered hundreds maybe thousands attended at long and close range the "private" funeral services for John Dillinger yesterday. In a gesture as mysterious as some of Dillinger's, his relatives shifted the funeral plans a day ahead, believing that the move would keep the crowds away. Only a possible hundred persons actually were in the Maywood home of Mrs. Audrey Hancock, Dillinger's sister, when the Rev. Charles M.

Charges German Responslti! "It is difficult if not impossible to deny that Germany has had grave responsibility in that which has occurred in Austria. "For months the radio at Munich has issued insult and calumny against Dollfuss and his government. All the efforts of the powers to obtain an end to this campaign which is against all principles of interna-tional politics were wrecked by the ill ill of German leaders." The army and air force at Padua were commanded by the Premier to be In momentary readiness to move across the Austrian frontier. Leaves Are Cancelled. Leaves were cancelled and each unit was told to keep itself in full strength with all of its mechsnical war devices in order The order applied to 75,000 men north of Padua, At the same time an official com munique was issued stating that the first naval squadron had left Fort Anrona, The communique did not give the destination of the squadron, but naval circles said that it is moving into the north Adriatic, particularly Port Trieste, to keep in touch with Austrian developments.

Orders Colonels on Duty. Mussolini ordered officers of the rank of colonel be kept on duty all night until further instructions, instead of assigning night duty as usual to second lieutenants. Slightly more than a month since Chancellor Hitler of Germany and Mussolini met in what seemed the most cordial atmosphere in Venice, the government-inspired press was today viewing with great resentment what it termed German interference in Austria, the nation on whose independence the two governments had said they agreed. Reports that the German ambassa dor at Vienna had taken part in the arrangement for safe conduct of the. killers aroused particular resentment, although these reports were not verified definitely.

Vienna reports that Dollfuss, the small dictator who has ruled Austria for two years, has been shot. Later came positive information that Dollfuss was dead. The death of Dollfuss, with subsequent seizure of Austria and ultimate annexation by Hitler's power, would upset Europe. When it comes to killing, Mr. Hitler's organization seems more energetic than that of Mr.

George E. Allen, who works for the government, spent several weeks investigating poverty, lack of Jobs, bread lines, as part of his job. He testifies that 90 per cent of the people In want really want work, also that those hired to deal out jobs or money are "snooty" persons, J'dolng more to antagonize the destitute than to help them." Mr. Allen observed, also, which ought to interest our better minds, that "even the Communists taught me something. Their power is gained principally because they will listen to people who are down and out, and will work for them and fight for them." Mr.

Allen says that that is the attitude "that the relief people should take, but relief people won't even listen to you most of the time." Under those circumstances the Communist party should grow. A man laughed violently when his house, barn, wife, children and horses were all burned. Questioned, he said he laughed because his disaster was so unusually complete. Income tax payers may have a similar feeling about the suggestion that New York city, needing money for the unemployed, tax incomes of $5,000, 12J per cent, and of $50,000 and more, 75 per cent. That would not leave much after the national government "cut." It might be simpler, more equitable, to tax all incomes of $30,000 or more, 100 per cent, with the guarantee that men paying the tax would have a first chance at the dole or any relief fund that might be established with their taxes.

Washington, where they seek new "tax sources," will read that New York suggestion with jealous awe. (Copyright, 1934.KlngFeaturei8yndlcite.Inc.

Fillmore chose a verse from the Twenty-third Psalm that has been read over countless coffins, beside a myriad of Pen graves, bringing always its message of peace and consolation: "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me, Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me." Again from the Forty-sixth Psalm: "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will we not fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried Into the midst of the sea." And from the fourteenth chapter of John: "Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe In God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions; if It were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you." The Rev. William J.

Evans, pastor of the First Christian Church at Maywood, read the benediction: "And now may grace, mercy and peace from God the father, and the love of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit' rest and abide with you all, now and forever, in Jesus' name." marquee of tan-colored canvas over the grave that gaped between its two towering heaps of earth.

More rain fell, more lightning lit the black sky and more thunder crashed. The hundred or more persons under the marquee drew still closer together.

The masses of flowers were taken off the casket to be piled at the foot of the grave, and the four Negroes lowered Dillinger into the earth. The Rev. Charles M. Fillmore, retired Disciples of Christ minister, spoke his words of peace and comfort. The Rev.

William J. Evans, pastor of the First Christian Church at Maywood, read the benediction. That was all, John Dillinger was buried at last. During the services his sister, Mrs. Audrey Hancock of Maywood, leaned against her husband's shoulder and sobbed convulsively; tears rolled down the face of the dead man father, John Dillinger Sr.

While Dollfuss was said by officials to have been killed immediately, his fate did not become known until after the Nazis had been loaded onto trucks. After the day of disorder and excitement, in the course of which an undetermined number of persons were killed, martial law was proclaimed tonight in Vienna and in part of the province of Styria, Nazi stronghold. Fighting In Styria Reported. There were reports of fighting In Styria. Shooting was heard in some sections of Vienna.

Dr. Schuschnigg, named by President Miklas, took over the government immediately. The future of the country was beclouded, however. It did not appear at once what the position of Prince Ernst von Starhemberg, vice chancellor, will be. The prince, at first reported In 'charge of the ministers not captured by the Nazis, later was found to be in Venice.

He was expected in Vienna tomorrow. May Be Temporary Affair, Whether the naming of Schuschnigg was a temporary affair was the subject of speculation. Von Starhemberg, a leader of the Heimwehr, Is in a strong position. During the negotiations between the Nazis holding the chancellory and some one hundred and sixty prisoners they captured numerous civil servants as well as Fey, Dollfuss and Karl Karwinsky, undersecretary of security the name of Rin-telen was mentioned.
