Thirty-four telephone call-boxes were also Avrecked. It is announced that 1179 Austrian Nazi leaders have been arrested, including 387 State officials, 52 Stat* teachers, 37 gendarmie officers, 61 railway officials, 81 mayors and 37 lawyers and judges. Fifteen German agents have been deported. Vienna is relieved that the Corpus Christi holiday passed without incident. Fearing a Nazi demonstration hundreds of plain-clothes police mingled with the crowds. Their officers, for the first time since the war, wore the old Imperial uniforms in preference to,the German field grey.
