Washington, March 14. Paul V. McNutt will not become president of Indiana University. All speculation about his acceptance of the position now may be ended. Mr.

McNutt is Interested, heart and soul, in the university of which he is a graduate and where he was dean of the law school before he became Governor of his state and there was a time when he frankly had an ambition to become the university's president. Most of the members of the board of trustees have favored hirr for the post. Shuns Political Link. But since he has been catapulted into the na'ional picture, the most mentioned person at the moment for the Democratic presidential nomination, Mr. McNutt, say those who know him best, would cast aside his earlier ambition because he would not wish to take the risk of having the university identified, directly or indirectly, with politics.

It is not established that his friends on the board of trustees have been advised of his decision. The fact that Mr. McNutt will not permit himself to be appointed university president comes as a surprise to many persons, including political intimates, but not to those who know him best not to those who would sense the concern he would feel about the possibility of politics being associated with such an appointment. Those who know the depth of his feelings for the university will appreciate his decision. No Statement Made.

It should be understood that Mr. McNutt has made no statement about the university presidency, for he could not publicly reject that which has not been formally tendered him, but those who have discussed the subject with him informally are completely satisfied that his decision would be against heading the university. The high commissioner, after a year in the Philippines, came to Washington three weeks ago to report to the Preslden and other high-ranking- officials on hi3 views in relations to the future of the islands. He feared that to separate the Islands from the Unit 1 States at any early date, in view of happenings in the Far East and in the world, would amount to "economic murder" for the islands and become a serious disadvantage to this country. A reception, attended by 3,200 persons was tendtred Mr.

McNutt soon after his arrival here. That reception, originally intended as a social affair, immediately bounced McNutt into a national prominence that went far beyond that which his friends had anticipated. He has attained the positioi. of being a serious contender for the 1940 presidential nomination of his party. It is that fact which is the leading factor in the decision against going to Bloo-nington.

Expects to Return This Year. Mr. McNutt has told friends that, unless an emergency situation develops in the Philippines, he will return to the states "before New Year's and return to stay." Just what his plans will be after he returns from the Philippines is uncertain he himself already may have definite plans but they are unrevealed. It may be that President Roosevelt will have another important Turn To Page 2. Column 7.

Vienna, March 14. Adolf Hitler returned to Vienna today the master of all he surveyed. No ancient despot could have exercised more control over a peo ple than did Hitler when he stood on the balcony of the Imperial Hotel and proclaimed of his new pan-Germany; "No force on earth can shake us!" His words were a challenge and a warning to the wide world which a fanatically enthusiastic crowd acclaimed with deafening roars. Certainly no less than a mil lion worshipers, probably more, shouted, "Hoil! Hitler!" to the man who turned from this once proud capital as nn obscure artist and came back triumph. Throngs Jam Riiigstrasse.

Frenzied throngs jammed the broad Ringstrasse for six blocks, cheering with a zeal that amounted to religious fervor. Women wept because the great leader at last had arrived. Strange men embraced. Standing on the balcony of his hotel, Hitler one face in a sea of laces seemed insignificant until a huge searchlight picked him out with a pencil of light in the dusk. Der Fuehrer, apparently, had not intended to speak until tomorrow at 11 a.

m. Then he will address Vienna and the German world from the Heroes' square. But for three hours the crowds demonstrated before his hotel, calling him back to his balcony again and again. Officers with Hitler said they never had seen such an unbounded release of joy. It surpassed even that of the early Nazi days In Berlin.

Roberts, 18 years old, 225 East Raymond street, was killed last night when struck by an automobile at 42d street and College avenue. The driver of the automobile, Seymour Jcntry, 22, 5159 Ralll-more avenue, told police the youth ran from between two parked automobiles on College avenue, apparently hurrying to catch a southbound streetcar. Jentry, who was driving north In College avenue, told police he had stopped for a traffic signal at the street Intersection and was not driving fast.

Witnesses disputed this statement. The right front fender and the radiator grille of the automobile were dented, police said. Roberts's body was hurled underneath an automobile parked at the curb. He suffered a fractured skull and died soon after the accident. Dr.

POLICE GUARD KUNZE AFTER ATTACK HERE Foes Wait Until Squad Car Leaves Soltau Home Before Hurling Stones Through Windows.

Rocks hurled through the windows at the home of William A. Soltau, 339 North Summit street, broke up an organization meeting of the Indianapolis affiliate of the Nazi Amerika Deutschen Volks-bundes (German American bund) late last night. G. Wilhelm Kunze of New York and Chicago, organizer and national publicity director of the bund, was in the house with a group of Soltau's friends when rocks were hurled through two of the north windows of Soltau's home. Fearing further violence, Soltau called police for help and asked that they escort his guests to safety.

Kunze Imitates Hitler. Among them was Kunze who had a pinch-bow mustache similar to that of Chancellor Hitler of Germany. He wore a brown shirt, "similar to that of the Nazi brown shirt troops, and a swastika-fashioned tie-clasp. Kunze refused to give his name when questioned by Sergt. Fred Hanley and Radio Patrolmen Michael Burns and Richard Jacobs, declaring: "I'm a guest of Mr.

Soltau and he does not want my name known." He finally admitted his identity, however, police said. Police said there were 15 chairs around the dining room table, a number of application forms for the Bund, several of which were filled out, and a number of German newspapers bearing Swastika emblems. Keeps Blank From Police. Soltau covered the application blanks with a newspaper and refused to let the police see them. When police arrived at the Soltau home there were seven persons, including Kunze, Soltau, his son, Charles W.

Soltau, both active in Bund affairs here; an elderly man who refused to give his name, but said that he lived on Lexington avenue, and three women. Kunze, the elderly man and two women were taken from the house and spirited away in an automobile by young Soltau. Shortly after calm had been restored, a photographer for a press association was ordered off the Soltau property by a man who carried a gun. Denied Leader in City. Earlier in the evening Soltau an his son had denied that Kunze was in the city and that a meeting was being held.

After the rock-throwing episode and the discovery of bund application blanks in Soltau's home, he Itill denied that a bund meeting was held, asserting that he had a few guests in for dinner. All shades of the house were drawn. A police squad was on duty in front of the house from early in the night until 10:30 o'clock when they went off duty. Thirteen minutes later the rocks crashed through Soltau's windows. Soltau last week announced that the meeting scheduled for his house had been canceled.

Despite this, however. Summit street hummed with activity early last night as curious motorists drove past the Soltau home. The elder Soltau and his son have purchased large tracts of land Jn Brown county in recent years. They deny, however, that the land Is to be used as a camp for Nazi activities.

(JPi Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain today pointed Britain's manpower toward full wartime footing to check Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler's thrusts at central Europe. He bluntly rejected Germany's sharp contention Britain had "no right" to interest herself in Austrian independence but failed to give any pledge for safeguarding utecnosiovakia. Speaking before a packed and tense House of Commons, the angular prime minister, in a hoarse voice, demanded the support of the legislators and the country's citizens for tremendous new defense steps which might include everyone. Conscription Hinted. That sounded like the first faint thunder of conscription.

Semiofliclal spokesmen, however, hastened to say he did not mean military conscription was an imminent possibility. Influential British Conservatives for some time have been campaigning for a Nazilike "compulsory national service" for all Britons, perhaps labor camp training. Sharply backing Chamberlain's demand, Home Secretary Sir Samuel Hoare, outside Parliament, broadcast a call for a million volunteer air raid precaution workers to safeguard Britain from "a knockout blow" from the air. The more disturbed is continental Europe," Sir Samuel said, "the more urgent it Is for us to make every possible preparation against a most dangerous form of modern warfare How Chamberlain Put It. Chamberlain, who only recently reaflirmed a pledge by Lord Bald win, when he was Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, against conscription in peacetime, told the House: "We must consider the new situation clearly, but with cool Judgment and with confidence that we shall be supported in asking that no one, whatever his particular preconceived notions may be, shall regard himself as excluded from any extension of national efforts that may be called for." He confessed to the hushed but seething Commons that German's absorption of Austria had struck a deadly blow at his newly-chosen policy of trying to satisfy the dictator states through peaceful negotiations.

Chamberlain spoke out almost at the same moment that Hitler rode into Vienna like a conquering Wagnerian hero. Special Cabinet Session. His statement, paralled by one in the House of Lords by Foreign Secretary Viscount Halifax, followed a special Cabinet meeting. He clasped and twisted his hands as he read huskily and when he finished a tide of furious parliamentary debate rolled on. Quickly the opposition took up a demand for what the prime minister had failed specifically to give a pledge for Czechoslovakia.

"Let us resolve to support France In respect of Czechoslovakia," shouted Sir Archibald Sinclair, opposition Liberal leader. (France by treaty is bound to go to Czechoslovakia's aid in event of aggression and Foreign Offlce experts in Paris studied an extension of the pact to cover any possibility of Germany taking similar steps against Czechoslovakia as against Austria.) "Wrecks Premier's Program." Clement Attlee, Laborite leader, pointing out Germany's absorption nf AiiKtrin rams at the very time Britain was holding conversations with the German government, declared: "It seems to me this event knocks down the house of cards on which the premier has been build ing." Former Foreicn Secretary An thony Eden, who resigned In a break with Chamberlain over nis policy, "is shown to be right," the Laborite said. Each successive incident of bad faith nnd breach of treaty and each successful aggression leads to another." There were cheers when L. S. Amery, Conservative, urged: "Let us let France, Czechoslovakia and Germany in plain lan guage know that the first German soldier or airplane that crosses the Czech border will have the whole might of this country against it." Churchill View Ominous.

Winston Churchill, former Cabinet minister, declared the gravity of the situation could not be exaggerated, and said: "A wedge has been driven into the heart of the little entente." (Roumania, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia are the little entente countries.

The German decree-law complimented the Austrian decree but contained the additional provision which proclaimed Adolf Hitler as head of the enlarged nation. Receipt of the note was viewed here as giving rise to several new diplomatic situations. It was assumed the United Stales legation at Vienna would become a consulate, with the diplomatic representative there a consul general. May Go on Blacklist.

Some students of foreign affairs believed Austria would have to be rilaced on the United States eco nomic blacklist.

The Osservatore, asserting that a "sad shadow already has been cast by Nazi acts against the Aus trlan church, asked: "Will the Austrian people, whose glorious traditions are Catholic, be spared?"

CP) Germany evidently is convinced that Sudeten (southern) Germans in Czechoslo vakia can be taken under the wing of the Nazi eagle without intervention by Germany. Such confidence apparently explained tonight how the Reich could assure Czechoslovakia she had no hostile intentions and, at the same time, proclaim that the union of all Germans under ruehr-er Hitler still was incomplete.

Madly joyous Berlin was drained of its luminaries as the retinue following Hitler's triumphal home coming to Nazified Vienna grew. And with it grew the importance of Field Marshal Herman Wilhelm Goering, left behind to play an unique role as Hitler's deputy Fuehrer. Goering Takes Helm. In the absence of Joachim von Ribbentrop, Goering, Germany's No. 2 Nazi, even took over the functions of the foreign minister.

He was wielding the chief executive power virtually alone. This gave rise again to the general belief that Hitler will entrust Goering permanently with the active running of the government, even as chancellor or prime minister, while Der Fuehrer himself plans a future "Reich of all the Germans." No sooner had the German minister to Praha reported yesterday that German military planes had flown over Czech territory than Goering summoned Dr. Vojtcch Mastny, the Czech minister.

He pictured the Philippines under the American flag as "a happy spot in an unhappy Orient the one place out there where decency, democracy, and peace reign; where the orderly processes of democracy have a chance to develop; where, and where only, Christianity rules thj souls of an Eastern people; where, and only where, the peculiar culture of America holds forth a torch of liberty and the love of In response to building managers throughout the downtown area who are protesting the damage the birds are doing to structures, th city employes went to the park with traps of various types.
