AUSTRIA TO VOTE ON MONARCHY
PLEBISCITE “AT PROPER TIME” NO PROMISE GIVEN TO GERMANY (United Press Assn. —Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 7.30 p.m.) Vienna, October 17. The Chancellor (Dr Kurt Schuschnigg) announced that Austria would hold a plebiscite on the restoration of the monarchy at the proper time. He added that the legitimist movement was legal. He had not promised Germany that he would not permit the restoration of the Hapsburgs; this was purely an internal matter. No devaluation of the schilling is contemplated. Dr Schuschnigg thanked Prince Rudiger von Starhemberg, the deposed leader of the dissolved Fascist Heimwehr (Home Guard) for his assistance in the rebuilding of Austria, but delivered another blow to Prince von Starhemberg by announcing that Major Baar Baarenfels, who is resigning the command of the militia in which the Heimwehr has been merged, would be replaced by Field-Marshal Hulgerth. It was known that Prince von Starhemberg had hoped for this appointment.
