Austria, valiantly fighting under the loyal leadership of Kurt Schuschnigg, hoped on Sunday to prove 'by ballot that it was whole heartedly for a policy of independence, to conduct its own affairs without outside or Hitler interference. Adolf Hitler, however, whose dream of a Mittel Europa is next expected to engulf Czechoslovakia and possibly Hungary, is not to be led aside from his path of Nazism above else. He sent an emissary to the Austrian chancellor; 24 hours to call off the plebiscite or else. The "or else" was a threatened march of the German regulars into Austrian territory.

There were indications early that he meant business; scattered dispatches in a busy morning indicated mobilization of German troops along the frontier. Came reports of demonstrations, police and troops fighting off Nazi violence at Innsbruck, at Linz and even in Vienna. Sporadic trouble flared anew in Graz, capital of the hotbed of restless Nazi influences in the province of Styria. The full story of what went on, forcing Schuschnigg's hand and his hurried resignation, remains yet to be told; but the surmise is that the pressure was so insistent; the loy 'Pennsylvania Chronicle" to d'issemin across the Allegheny River in the heart of the Oil City business section the Pennsylvania Railroad has reverted to the original plan of crossing the river ate his wild Ideas which mostly met with disfavor among his readers, the at Franklin. early colonists.

It revealed Carroll as a $37.30 a week teacher of 10-year-old boys in Glasgow's slums; it revealed that he lived In a meagerly furnished flat with his wife and three children near the shipyards, where the din of construction constantly rent the ear; and It also revealed that he knew little of the tremendous success his play had made In New York. The emissaries of the Hollywood studios wasted no time besieging the newly-arrived Carroll with offers, once he alllghted In Manhattan.

He rejected, them all. When he sees enough of America to satisfy his curiosity, he is going hack to his post in the Glasgow slums, tout to a somewhat better flat.

AFTER playing hostess to the Four Hundred a considerable while and to a fare-thee-well, it was only natural, sooner or later, for Elsa Maxwell to venture into the show business. Well, she has, with a "smaht set" revue, entitled "Who's WTio," and all the signboards attest to Elsa's managerial capacity.

The First Night was as swank a social gathering as the Plaza ever has assembled and included, naturally, all of Elsa's friends. There was talk of postponing "Who's Who" a day or so for repairs. But Elsa said, "No, half of the audience is sailing for the south of France tomorrow," which may give you an idea of the chi-chl atmosphere. Truth is, "Who's Who" is a pretty little musical show with a cumber of hummable songs, a satirical thrust or two at this or that personality and a cast of refreshingly young people who seem to ibe having fun at their jobs. But it is no rival of Ziegfeldlan, Scfau-liertian or Harrlslan spectacles.

He did what Hitler wanted he should do called off the plebiscite, resigned his as chancellor, turned over the reins of government to Dr. Seyss-Inquart, Nazi leader in Styria. A few hours later the Nazi flag was flying over the Vienna chancellery; and throughout Austria, where Nazis were more numerous than loyal Austrians, joyful demonstrations with shouts of "Heil Hitler" were quickly growing in volume. The story is not over; it is just the beginning. What now will Italy do? Will it remain quietly in the background, tacitly allied with Hitler, allowing him to gobble up the heart of Europe, and encroaching upon territories along Italy's border? Or will it serve notice that the steam-roller overnight threats of "war or Nazidom" must soon halt? Another of Hitler's main objectives outlined in "Mein Kampf" has been attained proof to the world that a battling minority, ruthlessly pursuing a goal, can achieve almost any objective.

Austria has the world's sympathy as it feels or soon will feel the crushing heel and scorching breath of Nazi influence run rampant. Believe it or not, a world conflict, averted for the time being, is more in the making than you may care to realize if you took time to analyze all that has happened in so short a period. Austria is at one full and unexpected stroke deprived of its democratic standing; becomes subservient to a dictatorship, amenable to Hitler's wishes. And what of courageous Kurt Schuschnigg?

AMPLE PARKING SPACE Admittedly one of the assets of Franklin is the ample parking space available in and near the business district. Announcement by Mayor Bohlender that checking of cars along Liberty and Thirteenth Streets will commence at once heralds the coming of spring.

It is also a step forward in the provision of more parking space for shoppers, for some motorists have grown careless and are leaving parked cars, hours at a time, in the blocks where traffic is heaviest and shopping is at its peak. Co-operation on the part of merchants, clerks and others, on duty throughout the day, and parking of their cars on streets not in the business district, will leave more parking space for actual store patrons and others who have business in the mercantile area. Franklin has always been known for its generous and common sense parking regulations; this, we are assured, will continue.
