LONDON, July 6. j The Vienna correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph" says investigations are proceeding concerning charges of cruelty against former police officers and men of the Heimwehr, who are alleged to have ill-treated Nazis in 1934 after the death of Dr. Dollfuss^the Austrian Chancellor. A Police Court at Klagenfurt has sentenced a police major to three years' imprisonment with hard labour for ordering Nazi prisoners to be flogged with a rubber whip in July, 1934. Two police inspectors who performed the floggings have also been gaoled. One said that he flogged at least a hundred Nazis in two months.
