The Reich Government’s reported plan to transfer the administrative capital of the province of Austria to Linz was linked here today with Reichsfuehrer Hitler’s unhappy memories of his youthful days in Vienna.

Nazi anti-Semitism is also a leading factor in disposing the German leaders favorably toward the plan, which was first made known yesterday. There are more than 100,000 Jews in Vienna, and despite Field Marshal Hermann Goering’s threats to force all of them out, there is no hope of achieving this for some time to come.
