Dollfuss thanked God for the fortunate outcome of the attempt on his life, coupling this with an expression of firm determination to proceed with his patriotic mission. "That was a close one," was the comment of the Chancellor as he left the hospital to return to his home. The attack was staged at the entrance of the building.

As Dollfuss approached, Dertil moved up, apparently with the intention of handing him a manuscript. Police intervened, however, seized the document. Thereupon the former corporal stepped back a few paces, drew his gun and fired. The Chancellor was rushed to the hospital, with Vice Chancellor Emil Fey in hot pursuit to learn the condition of his chief. ant and seized weapon, which Police at once.

Dertil said later that he had no intention to kill the Chancellor, his only desire being "to attract attention to the man who just now would be the right man to participate in the leadership of Austria." Police questioned him closely as to the identity of this man, but he refused to explain the statement. He did deny, however, that he is a Nazi. The officers began rounding up political suspects, leading to the belief in some quarters that drastic action against both the Nazis and the Socialists was impending.

The police indicated action might be taken against some newspapers, including the Die Freie Presse, which treated the attack in a sensational ner. The police announced later they were unable to establish that the former corporal was politically active in any direction. As a soldier, however, he belonged to the "Wehrbund," which was a Christian Social organization founded by General Karl Vaugoin, former war minister.

(AP) Quieter conditions in Cuba were reported to the State Department today, but officials who have watched the fires of trouble smoulder and flare many times in recent weeks frankly said they did not know what to expect. The administration stood firm in its hands-off policy, emphatically turning thumbs down on armed intorvention now. Secretary Hull was careful to avoid any word which might be misconstrued and interfere with efforts of the cooler beads in Havana to work out a peaceful solution of the island's problems and unite the rious factions on a government which might lead the republic to stability and prosperity. The Secretary of State said at his press conference the American attitude was unchanged and informed quarters said the possibility of landing troops or Marines from Americam warships strung around the island was extremely remote unless conditions become much worse. It was clearly indicated there was no likelihood that the killing of an American by a stray bullet in Havana yesterday would become a diplomatic incident and the subject of an official protest.

The State Department noted President Ramon Grau San Martin's expression of regret at the incident and information before it was to the effect that the victim was watching the fighting from an exposed place.

"Well, I don't know what you mean by dummy," Dillon replied smiling, while Couzens, Republican, Michigan, sat beside him, guffawed, "but he was a bookkeeper." Prompted in his replies to the opening questions by R.

E. Christie, secretary treasurer of the banking house, Dillon was half apologetic at times when he had to ask some of those surrounding him for the answers to various questions. He described his firm's business as investment banking entirely distinct from commercial banking and doing a long term as voposed to short term credit business. He added that he owned the controlling inter est of around 73,000 shares. Asked by Pecora if he thought partners should be directors of businesses financed through His banking house, Dillon said his firm had not found it desirable, differing with recent testimony of a member of the firm of J.

Tobacco Companies Get Compromise Opportunity (Continued, From Page One.) took, the virtually position powerless that these would that the grower got higher prices for his tobacco if they accepted these terms. It was understood that the compromise both sides are attempting to reach would provide for government inspection of tobacco company records. Williams and Kahn were said to have informed officials that their position on this--one of the principal points at issue--had been modified.

A steady succession of complaints has come from North and South Carolina since the markets reopened there. The growers have protested that they entered the production control program with the understanding that the Farm Administration would see that the price paid them for their tobacco was hoisted to a level approaching parity. Negotiations with the tobacco companies ended about a week ago and meanwhile the plan to license domestic buyers was drawn, but with the return of Williams, discussions were resumed. The blanket license is being held in reserve and probably will be applied if this attempt at compromise fails. OFFICIAL FIGURES SHOW SOME ADVANCE IN PRICE.

"The mayor has been getting away with things for the last two or three years that he can't get away with any more," continued Mr. Evans as the crowd continued to applaud. "To show you how the city's books are kept, it was suddenly discovered that City Clerk Joe Sawyer had overdrawn his salary by more than $1000, and the mayor said he didn't know anything about it, although he was supposed to sign all the checks. "I understand the mayor was in hole when he found out about this, 50 he borrowed the money from a widow and got the clerks in his office to sign the note. Sawyer agreed to pay back $75 a month and hasn't paid back cent, while the mayor is paying back $25 month and collecting from the clerks in his office." Mr.

Carl Hubbell Masters Washington's Sluggers and Giants Win Opener (Continued From Page One.) roller and three to Terry for the final putout of the gage.

Under the circumstances, it was a close call for the Giants after they had outplayed and out-hit the Senators most of the way in game except for Hubbell's superb pitching, was not up to World Sestandarda. Not only was the Giant infield shaky, on both sides, as Critz and Ryan contributed errors, but the Senators' usually reliable second-sacker, Myers, had the dubious distinction of tying a World Series record by making no less than three misplays. one of Myer's errors. A fumble of Joe Moore's grounder in the first inning, was costly, but Buddy also made wild throw in the second inning after a great stop of Ryan's sharp grounder, and dropped a throw from Catcher Sewell on Mel Ott's dash for second base in the seventh frame. Jack Russell and Al Thomas, relief right-handers, held the Giants scoreless in the last five nings, but Ott's big clean-up bat did enough damage early in the game to produce the decisive gin.

Louisiana larruper's home run into the lower right field stands scored Moore ahead of him in the first inning. His hard smash to right in third, after Critz and Terry had singled, drove Stewart out of the box and brought Critz home with what proved the winning run. Stewart was 8 welcome surprise to the Giants, who outslugged the Senators, 10 hits to five, and otherwise disported themselves at the plate like anything but a weak-hitting outfit. They tallied their fourth and run in the third frame, Terry racing home on Jackson's infield smash off Kuhel's glove, before Russell retired the side. Ott collected his third and fourth hits off Russell in the fifth and seventh inning, but there were two out, each time, and he was left stranded on second base on each occasion.

The Senators gathered more fidence at the plate against Hubbell as the game went along, but they never quite recovered from the shock of having Myer, Goslin and Manush fanned at the very outset of the proceedings. It was like having a bad dream come true, as the southpaw handcuffed them with a dazzling assortment of stuff. Joe Cronin, the young Washington pilot and shortstop, who was the only Senator regular to avoid being fanned during the game, opened the second inning with a single, but a double play, engineered by Gus Maneuso, snuffed out the American leaguers at juncture. Hubbell looked to be well on his way to a strikeout record when he made it six first three innings. The World Series mark of 13 is held by Howard Ehmke and was made against the Chicago Cubs in the first game of the 1929 series.

But Carl seemed to ease up a bit through the middle stage of the game, so long as he had things under control, and the Senators slipped over their first run in the fourth. Myer started the fourth with single to center, advanced on Goslin's grounder to Terry, dashed to third on Critz's misplay of Manush's hard smash and scored on infield shot. This wasn't much of a rally, on though Schulte added a single that went to waste when Kuhel grounded out. For the next three innings, only three Senators faced Hubbell per frame. In the sixth, the Giants' southpaw again made Myer, Goslin and Manush look bad as he retired them on two fouls and a pop fly.

The evidence of the manner Hubbell of the afternoon was conspicuous by had 1 the Senators under control most the fact that, except for the few Senator hits, only one ball was hit out of the inf A tighter infield defense in tl. pinches would blanked the American Leaguers all the likelihood but, even so, Hubbell gave his rivals scant cause for encouragement. It will be a right-handers' duel tomorrow, with young Hal Schumacher of the Giants opposing "General" Al Crowder of the Senators in the second game, after which the combatants depart for Washington and the third game of the series in the Capital Thursday.

As to the counties he said in one of his speeches: "If private businesses were operated on the principles which obtain in our county governments, the bankruptcy courts would be multiplied 100 times." One of the criticisms made of him by his opponents was that he deserted the administration by resigning his office as Congressman during the World War his support was needed but he replied that he stood with the President in every vote that he ever cast and pointed out that when he came home he devoted 18 months to war work at his own expense.

A long career of distinguished service to his State, a fine character, and a personality that endeared itself to all with whom he came in contact are some of the things to which you can look for consolation. I am sure that all the people of North Carolina who have long known and admired him will grieve with you. Secretary Wade: Please be sure of my sincerest sympathy in the passing of your distinguished husband, he was my warm personal friend and I loved him and he knew it. I shall miss him, his counsel and advice.

Reign of Terror In Havana Comes to Sudden Close (Continued From Page One.) tempted to bring a semblance of order out of the chaos which reigned yesterday.

The government, in an announcement, expressed regrets that An American (Robert G. Lotspeich) had been killed during the disorders and that it "was forced to repel the gression to which the soldiers were subjected yesterday." "Peace now prevails through the island," the announcement said, "and the movement, against the, government definitely crushed." Attacks Welles. The student newspaper, Alma Mater, charged Sumner Welles, United States ambassador, with being "the only person responsible for yesterday's tragedy." The article was signed by Julio Cesar Fernandez, the editor of the publication. "I accuse him," said the editor. "in all the firmness of my convietions of being to blame in this hour of mourning." Cesar Fernandez charged that Welles "created thin, uncouth mediation comedy and tried to ignore the revolutionary principle to serve the interests of the men responsible for many erimes, but who were ready to obey the orders of the dollar." (Ambassador Welles for several weeks before the downfall of the Gerardo Machado regime in August served as a mediator between the rious Cuban political factione.) "The diplomat, tricky, cold and taciturn," the article continued, "refuged himself in the luxurious halls of the National Hotel, and there, un- out of the canyon, the fremen clambered down the steep sides, was full extent of tragedy learned.

One minute the men were building a road. The next, armed with shovels, they were clambering down the ravine to fight a fire. In a matter of seconds they were aflame, screaming in vain for help. Angry scenes occurred as relief workers sought those responsible for sending the men into the ravine. "Straw bosses" in charge of the workers were ordered to the police station for questioning by homicide squad detectives in preparation for an investigation.

The ravine which was turned into a fiery death trap lies in the middle of the 200-acre fire area. It is shaped like a teacup and drops sharply away from the level, but rough ground. Like the rest of the coarse country, it is covered with dry brush that burns like tinder. The area had been fanned by hot desert winds recently. No rain had fallen in weeks.

Death Canyon. The canyon sides descended in V-shape, and there is almost no level ground at the bottom. When the men saw fames pouring down one side, they ran toward the bottom, seeking an escape from fire. They ran into flames approaching from the other side. A wall of fire passed over them.

Weary fire fighters were drafted, and in groups of four, they manned stretchers to carry the bodies to hearses waiting on two roads which touched points near the canyon. Up the steep hills, in the heart of the smoldering fires, the stretcherbearers were able to make only 40 or 50 feet without stopping for rest. Then the four men on each stretcher would pick up their burden to struggle forward another 50 feet. The heat was 80 intense that the five gallon cans of water, which had been placed at intervals of about 500 feet along the trails, tonight were found to have boiled dry in the flames. Firemen blamed the inexperience of the men, claiming that seasoned fire fighters would have been aware of the danger.

The fire attacked the ravine on all sides. The natural down draft of the flames sent the fire into the canyon, trapping men almost before they were aware of the danger. Saw Tragedy. Before smoke and flame temporarily blinded him, George L. Banks, 64, saw the fire envelop the workers.

"I was above the ravine," Banks said. "As the fire came down the sides, the men saw it and went half mad with fear. They cried and screamed, but nobody could help them. "The flames felt like a cyclone. There was a heavy wind carrying the flames along.

I was blinded, but somebody led me out." Banks believed that many of the deaths were caused by a lack of perienced fire fighters. "The men were told to start backfire," he explained. "They were caught in the ravine between the main fire and their own back fire." "I was lucky," Charles A. Lyons, 29, said in describing his escape. "By accident, I chose the right way to run out.

Most of the others ran down the ravine. I saw a lot of them caught by the fire and fall in flaming heaps." OLD DOMINION IN LIST FOR REPEAL (Continued From Page One.) ator James S.
