Nazi Revolt Crushed in Austria

fore midnight Vienna was quiet—but it was an ominous quiet.

The long-awaited Nazi putsch against the Dollfuss regime began early this morning with the capture of the government broadcasting station outside Vienna and the announcement by Nazi revolutionists that the Austrian government had resigned.

Other government officials who were not captured by the Nazis and who are headed by Prince Ernst Rudiger von Starhemberg, Vice Chancellor under Dollfuss, constituted themselves a government. They immediately served notice on the Nazis holding the Chancellory that the Heimwehr would attack unless the prisoners would be released. The action of the rump government is understood to have the endorsement of President Wilhelm Miklas.

NAZIS RULE CAPITAL

For hours Vienna was isolated from the rest of the world. While the entire situation is complicated and news is uncertain, it seems definite that the Nazi revolt has been suppressed. Austrian army troops aided by the Fascist Heimwehr engaged in a battle with the Nazis, it is understood.

Vienna Jewish residents are alarmed and frightened by the Nazi revolt, but so far no clashes have been reported in the Jewish districts. A Jewish Telegraphic Agency correspondent has been dispatched to the suburbs around Vienna, where most of the Jews live, to ascertain their fate.

TROOPS. CLAIM VICTORY

According to reports the Chancellory was stormed late today by loyal troops who arrested the Nazi terrorists who had been holding the building. At the same time it was also announced that troops and police have succeeded in storming the government radio station in which the Nazis had entrenched themselves and from which they had announced the resignation of the Dollfuss government. Immediately government officials began to broadcast assurances to all European listeners that conditions had returned to normal and that the Nazi putsch had been unsuccessful.

While the total number of casualties is unknown, ten were listed as dead and thirty among the wounded. It is believed that the total number of casualties is much higher.

FEY WARNS TROOPS AWAY

Negotiations with the Nazis who held government leaders as hostages was carried on for some time before the word was finally given the troops to capture the building by storm. Twice Major Fey. strong man of the Dollfuss government, made dramatic appearances on the balcony of the Chancellory, telling regular troops who surrounded the building to retire. Troops were marched away, but returned late when negotiations broke down.

Nazis in the suburbs of Vienna concentrated in an attempt to invade the city. At Stainz the gendarmerie post was attacked by Nazis, who killed the post commander and a gendarme.

The electric power station at Graz was dynamited, supposedly by Nazis. The entire city is in darkness.

NAZIS TERRORIZE POPULACE
