He characterizes the' Austrian situation ta satisfactory. Commenting on the intense diplo- siatic activity in progress for the last two days, this spokesman said it was not designed to create any concerted action and that no diplomatic steps would be taken, in Berlin by Great Britain, France or Italy. Concentrated He said the reported concentration of German troops on the Austrian border was not regarded here with alarm, and on the contrary, the Italian government was relieved by the belief that the German soldiers not only would prevent Austrian legionaries, now in Germany, from going into Austria, but also would prevent the escape "into Germany of Austrian terrorists. The unofficial Vienna report that Premier MussoHni would attend the funeral of Chancellor Dollfuss Saturday in Vienna wa denied by the spokesman. He further said the Italian government looks with pleasure and relief upon the appointment of Franz Von Papen, German vice chancellor, as minister to Austria, believing that this indicates that Chancellor Hitler of Germany wishes to smooth over the situation.

Air Force Ready Nevertheless, Premier Mussolini watched developments in, Austria closely. He held 48,000 troops on the Austrian frontier and as many more within quick marching distance of the border Friday as he watched for any sign that foreign intervention in Austria is needed. A strong air reinforced by several squadrons, moved up from a more southerly point in the last 24 hours, was ready to accompany the army should marching orders be. given. Foty-eight- planes, fully equipped for emergency duty, passed over Venice Thursday en route north.

A government official said emphatically intervention would be held back as a last resort and expressed hope it would not be necessary. It was evident, however, if such a move is called for, Italy will play a major role.
