Hider Scored By Vienna Throng Workers of Five Factories In ' Demonstration. Is Put On Political Meetings. Vienna, Feb. 21. — Nazis shouting “hcil Hitler” thronged Vienna’s streets tonight as the government placed a sudden ban on political meet- ingR flnH ypppryntly to check (both Nazis and Socialists. W’orkers of five large - factories meanwhile held spirited pro-Schuscht nigg demonstrations in which the rap- proachment with Adolf Hitler was bitterly attacked. The Nazi crowds in Vienna and Graz, second largest Austrian city, sang the German Nazi anthem, “Horst I Wessel,” while the factory laborers sang the Internationale, ^th songs were under strict ban until Hitler and Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg met at Berchtesgaden a week ago and agreed) on increased German influence in Aus tria. No serious disorder's developed ly for front members will be permit ted to hold meetings. The cabinet discussed the ban lengthily after provincial reports said local situations were becoming more serious because of Nazi demonstra tors. At Graz, near the German frontier, scores were treated for minor injuries following a clash between Nazis and fatherland front members. Later from the city ^hall one Nazi ledaer read a proclamation assuring Austrian Nazis the “Jewish-Catholic tycanny”,. anon would be ended.

Minor groups of Austrian army sol diers in uniform were seen among the Vienna demonstrators. Police com plained ^they were handicapped in con trolling the crowds by orders to leave their night-sticks at the police sta tion. At the factory demonstrations speakers agreed Schuschnigg was not to be blamed for swinging closer to Germany since h4 followed policies of the late Chancellor Dollfuss which led that way. The workers demanded that one or two of their representatives be taken into the cabinet tp counter-balance the Nazis admitted in Schuschnigg’s shake-up last week. The Bourse (stock market) dis played a better tone, but Jewish stores complained orders were faKing off. Although some quarters expressed disappointment that Hitler’s Sunday Reichstag speech was not more defi nite with regard to Austria, Nazis were jubilant. They strode about shouting and ex changing the Nazi salute for the first time since Hitler assumed the leader ship in Germany five years ago.
