Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock BERLIN March Nazis were frantic With joy tonight as they grasped the full import of Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitters proclaillation on the Austrian coup "I have now decided to extend The aid of the Reich to the millions of Germans in Austria" Der Fuehrer proclaimed "Since morning soldiers of the German defense force have been marching over all the frontiers of German Austria" Even as the proclamation was read over all German radio stations by Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels Hitler himself had crossed the Austrian frontier on a triumphal return to the country of his birth Reliable sources estimated 50000 (German soldiers had entered Austria during the day The immediate destiny of the 74000000 Germans and Austrians seemed to Reich one language one Fuehrer but for the present two Chancellors Arthur Seysz-Inquart in Austria and Field Marshal Hermann Wilhelm Goering named acting Chancellor in Germany during Hitler's absence EYES CZECH PEOPLES- Der Fuehrer's steamroller tactics soon may be expected to turn toward Czechoslovakia where there are 3500000 Germans in whom Hitler has proclaimed his interest He is known to have profound Contempt for the protests of western democracies against his "politics by force" Hitler's personal popularity probably never has been greater than since the reading of his proclamation The union of all Germans is something which every German at 11ort desires no matter how critical he rnay be of National Socialism That Hitler has managed to bring another 6500000 persons into the Gerrnan fold appeared to command the respect even of his enemies It was generally agreed here that Austria's former Chancellor d'urt Schuschnigg made the mistake of his life by attempting to call a plebiscite on Austrian independence CONTROLLED PLEBISCITE Hiller's proclamation made it clear at there would be a plebiscite lin Austria to be conducted with Prussian efficiency and exactness There was no doubt that the plebiscite would be preceded by the same sort of Nazi propaganda that resulted In overwhelming majorities for Hitler in the Free City of Danzig and the Saar valley just before its return to Germany Referring to the plebiscite in his proclaulation Der Fuehrer said: "Motorized units infantry divisions and formations on the ground as well as the German air force in the blue skies called by the new nationalist government In Vienna shall be the guarantor that now at last within the shortest time the possibility will be given to the Austrian people by means of a real plebiscite to shape their own future destiny 'Behind these units however stand the will and determination of the entire German nation" The German troops which tramped into Austria today were inspired as were other Germans by their Fuehrer's plea "to rescue suffering Austria" "Austria is free" hung on the lips of every German 10 Kennedy Urges roLIEE WAKE tIMIMIMPOSNOWilePRINft Circles Will Meet Circles of the Woman's auxiliary
