PRELATE HURT BY NAZI 10B Cardinal's Home Stoned For 'Unfriendly Remarks Vienna, Oct 8 AP Theodore Cardinal Innitzer was injured slightly Saturday when a. Nazi crowd stoned his palace and smashed a window in the Card inal's private chapel where he was praying.

Virtually all palace windows were shattered by the demonstrators, who invaded the archepis-copal offices, carried out numerous pieces of furniture and burned them in St Stephen's square. The Nazi attack came apparently in retaliation for a demonstration Friday night involving Catholic "ouths. who had heard Cardinal Innitzer preach a stirring sermon The Cardinal's injury was caused by a splinter of glass as the demonstrators hurled stone after stone through the private chapel window. With attending clergy, Innitzer had retired there to pray during the hostile demonstration. Palace attendants bandaged the wound, which did not require hos pital attention.

Police dispersed the Nazis after they bad rioted for nearly an hour, and a fire brigade quenched the blazing furniture. The riot which brought Nazi retaliation Saturday, followed upon a service for Catholic youth, who packed St. Stephen's cathedral while 10,000 others stood outside.
