The statement, evidently inspired. said the meeting between Fuehrer Adolf Hitler and Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg and the changes in the Austrian cabinet are considered in responsible Rome circles as "natural developments of Austrian-German relations in accordance with the ac cord of July 11, 1936. "To imagine Austria's Independ ence to be based on permanent an ti-German activities, as certain French circles pretend, is siniply absurd," the statement said. Informazione deplored press spec ulation abroad regarding the recent Berchtesgaden conference and the Austrian cabinet shakeup, saying: "A section of the international pres6 seized the opportunity to make absurd and entirely ridiculous comment regarding Italy's attitude towards the events and the consequences they may have on the political situation in central Europe." "Italy did well to understand the significance and importance of July 11 accord in its entirety," the statement continued. "The government always has believed- that close collaboration between the two German states not only, responds to what are unchanging conditions of reality but also those which represent the essential interests of peace and tranquility in central Europe." The statement concluded by praising Schuschnigg whose policy "well deserves the sympathy of all In Europe who are truly in favor of under tsanding and peace." Fire Police in Annual Banquet Fire Chief and Assistants Address Borough Department Members Shamokin fire police last evening held their annual banquet at the Neversink Hotel, Trevorton, where they enjoyed a chicken and waffle dinner and a program of short speeches.

"All too often, authorities, when faced with the necessity of acting to curb accidents, have thought only in terms of new restrictions fo motor vehicles. The fact of the malter is, however, that in urban districts, collisions between motor vehicles account for only about 16 per cent of the fatalities, while pedestrian accidents account for 67 per cent. These figures clearly show the direction that corrective action should take."

Hitler's "bloodless coup" in Austria has caused nothing less than consternation in Britain and France. An eventual Italian-Germanic bloc exttnding from the Baltic to the Mediterranean was en visaged. The next move would be to embrace Hungary in the new Oerman-Atiftrlan alliance. That accomplished, it was believed Czeoho-Slovakia would be urged to come ft an understanding, and then Rumania, breaking up the pro-French little entente. BERLIN, Feb.

J. Feb.

17 U.R Charles C. Read, state superintendent of weights and measures, announced the revocation today of the solid fuel licenses of two coal dealers charged with handling bootleg Anthracite coal. The revocations were the first penalties imposed under the solid fuel statutes enacted by the 1937 Legislature. Read said his department would carry out a campaign to stop all traffic in stolen coal. The two dealers were Shepard brothers, of Glassboro, and Michael Shaker, of Frackville, Pa.

Both failed to send representatives to a hearing called by Read. Announcing the revocations, Read said: "Persons found with illicit solid fuel in their possession not only make themselves amenable to the goods but also are subject to losing their solid fuel licenses, which puts them out of business so far as New Jersey is concerned. "The new statutes provide a strong weapon for the department of weights and measures in controlling this situtation." Read said the new laws would protect the public against the amount" of illegal and low grade Anthracite which he said had been pouring into the sVte during the past several years.

Margiotti prepared today the state's Supreme Coif, appeal from the Dauphin County Court injunction which rendered totally inoperative the general 44-hour work week law.

Governor George H. Earle ordered the immediate appeal, terming the action of Judge W. Sheely "a dangerous precedent since it restrain the Department of Labor and Industry" from enforcing a law enacted by the Legislature and approved by the governor." The taxpayer's suit was brought by C. W. Miller, Perry County grocer.

Labor and Industry Secretary Ralph M. Bashore, after studying the court order, issued this brief statement: "Under provisions of the injunction the department is not permitted to spend any money or time in enforcement of administration of the general 44-hour law. This means there is no limitation on the hours of work for male employes while the injunction is in force. "I want it definitely understood that this injunction does not apply in any way to the women's 44-hour law which became effective September 1. The department will continue to enforce strictly provisions of the women's law." Prior to the institution of the taxpayer's suit, the Holgate Brothers Manufacturing Company, of Kane, obtained an injunction in the local court in an effort to'test tile constitutionality of the act which became effective December 1.

Approximately 800 industries joined in the suit and were promised immunity from the law by the court pending the litigation. Efforts were made by Margiotti to get the Holgate suit directly to the Supreme Court without lower court arguments. But his department and counsel for the complainants could not agree on facts of law and the lower court routine became necessary. The complainants spent several weeks presenting their testimony and Deputy Attorney General Edward Friedman opened the defense testimony yesterday before Judie Sheely. Argument was heard last week in the taxpayer's suit to determine if the court should issue a temporary injunction.

Should the higher court uphold the Dauphin Court and the injunction is made permanent, the Holgate case probably will be dropped, it was reported.

Well informed observers here said this would seem to indicate that Britain as well as France, with whom the British have been in hourly contact since the Vienna crisis developed, are convinced that it is impossible to try to check Hitler's plans in Austria. The uncertain attitude was indicated in statements from official quarters which said that no representations by the British government have been actually made in Berlin although informed sources last 'night had indicated that an agreement for such a step had been reached with the French. The only approaches to Berlin and Vienna were made, it was reported to obtain "information" as to what occurred at the Berchtesgaden conference between Hitler and Schuschnigg. Official quarters said that the first contact between British diplomatic representatives and Vienna and Berlin regarding the Berchtesgaden meeting occurred Tuesday. Further contacts are being maintained.

It was stated officially that there was no foundation to reports that Schuschnigg had asked Britain if sho would eive Austria military as sistance. The inquiry was supposed to have been made before Schus chnigg went to Berchtesgaden.

For more than an hour, Hitler and Seyss-Inquart talked regarding developments resultant from Aus tria-German negotiations. It was understood that art would see Field Marshal Hermann Goer ing and Joachim Von Ribbentrop, new foreign minister, in further talks. Usually well informed quarters said that the dramatic dash of Seyss-Inquart to Berlin was charged with the most momentous possibili ties. It was said for one thing that the visit was the first move in a pro cess of intense and rapid Naziflca tlon of Austria along political, econ omic and cultural lines. Some quarters expect this process most likely including a customs union but not a formal declaration of "anschluss" or union to be com pleted by summer.

The Idea of a military union was deprecated, though it was mention ed in Vienna as a rumor. One of the earliest steps to be proposed, it was said, was the in-elusion of the now Illegal Austrian Nazi storm troops, asserted by Nazis to number 150,000 men, in the pa-riotic front of the Austrian govern ment. A man whom the Nazis trust Is to be given the task. It was said that another strong Nazi probably would be given a big administrative post ana possimy a cabinet portfolio. Expectation here was that Colonel Walter Adam, official Austrian press cniei, wouia te relieved of his duties German Nazis did not expect any resistance by force to Naziflcation of Austria, believing that If any iorce nao seen likely, it would have been shown Saturday night or Sun day.

Similarly, it was understood that the "maneuvering" of German troops on me Aistrlan frontier had dim inished and this was taken as an indication of lessened tension. Reports of the presence in Paris of Archduke Otto Von Hapsburg, pretender to the Austrian throne, caused no alarm in Nazi Quarters here. It was believed that France would not even consider supporting his restoration which Germans would take most seriously, almost as a warlike act. Some quarters here reported that Premier Benito Muscolini was urging Austria to leave the League ol Nations and Join Germany, Japan and Italy in their "anti-Communist" pact. In their conference this morning, expeoted to be the first of a series, Hitler and Seyss-Inquart were Joined by Foreign Minister Ribbentrop and Stephen Tauschitz, Austrian minister to Oermany.

Well informed sources said that raeyss-Inquart reviewed the events of the last few days in Vienna and outlined the situation there as it was todp.y. Further measures to be taken were discussed, it was said parti cularly as to the press policy to be pursued in Austria and Germany. Other details of agreement, espe cially as regards economics, are to be discussed later. All this was announced after the Hitler Seyss Inquart conference was: "Fuehrer Hitler received Aus trian Minister of the Interior and Security Seyss-Inquart today." LONDON, Feb. 17.
