11.-(Special to the Daily)-Mich-
igan still ruled slight favorites to,re-
tain its Big Ten indoor crown last
night despite reverses in the 440 and
880 where they qualified only one man
in each event, and a shut out in the
60-yard sprint.
Iowa led in number of men qual-
ified in the quarter, half, high hurdles
and 60-yard dash with six men while
Michigan and Indiana were tied in
second with five each.
Gedeon Scores In 08:7
The Wolverines' crack hurdle pair
of Gedeon and Kelley augmented by
Sherman Olmsted completely domi-
nated the timber event as Gedeon
took his heat easily in :08.7 to tie with
Bush Lamb of Iowa for the fastest
time of the evening; and Kelley nosed
out defending champion Jack Robin-
son of Illinois in the slowest heat,
both men running pulled up. Olm-
sted pulled a third out of the fire
to partly compensate for the-sprint
loss.
Ross Faulkner, Bill Buchanan and
Bill Watson dropped by the wayside
in the quarter, half and 60, robbing
Michigan of badly needed points
while Indiana, chief threat to Mich-
igan supremacy, picked up corre-
spondingly with two men in the quar-
ter and three in th2 half-mile,
Hayes Second To Elliott
Towheaded Doug Hayes ran a
smooth second behind Bill Elliott of
Indiana to keep the Hoytmen in the
finals of the quarter. In qualifying
Hayes beat out long-striding George
Hacrow outdoor titlist of Chicago.-
Tom Jester was the lone Michigan
qualifier in the 880. Breaking slow,
Jester moved up steadily behind In-
diana's Jim Smith, finishing pulled
up in the second spot.

VIENNA, March 12.-(Saturday)-(P)-Austria has submitted to Adolf
Hitler.
The Government yielded to Germany's armed might and give up its

German troops, massed on the border, marched into Austria at three
points. Early today they were reported at Linz, Austria, 40 miles from the
German frontier.
Major Clausner, leader of Nazi S.A. troops in Vienna, broadcast an
announcement that:
"Austria has become free-Austria has become National Socialist . . . a
new government has been formed."

German ultimatum demanding reorganization of the government.

The final consummation of the

ADOLF HITLER
Death Penalty
Asked For 1
Soviet . rlitOrS
Prosecutor Sums Up' Case'
Agaiiist Defendants hI
Five-Hour Plea Tf o jury
MOSCOW, March 11,--(AP)-Death
for 19 of the 21 defendants in Rus-
sia's greatest blood purge trial was
demanded today by Prosecutor An-
drei Y. Vishinsky at the climax of a,
furious summation of tr'eason and
murder charges.
For five and a half hours, in the
glare of floodlights, the prosecutor
packed in details of the prisoners'
confessed plots, calling them "human
scum" and unscrupulous tools of for-
eign intelligence services.
The burden df his whole review
was that the Soviet exists within a
ring of enemies and the plotters
sought to hand over to them the keys
to Russia's frontiers.
Itakovsky, Bessavoff Spared
The only two spared the death de-t
mand were dignified, old Christian
Rakovsky, once an esteemed Soviet
liplomat, and S. A. Bessanoff, a for-
ncr Russian trade delegate,
Most of Vishinsky's fury was heaped
>n Nikolai Bukharin, chronicler of
the Red Revolution on whom fell
nost of the blame for the confessed
"Rightist-Trotskyist" plots.
He also demanded the "head" of
Genrikh G. Yagoda, once the chief
>f the secret police and the most
feared man in Russia, whom lhe coim-
;ared to Al Capone.
"We cannot leave such people
alive," lie cried. "They can do so in i
America with Al Capones who kill
and kidnap people they want to get
out of the way. But Russia,, thank
God, is not America."
Pleas Heard Tomorrow
He spared Rakovsky because the
former diplomat, lone; in exile, had
been "out of contact with the reali-
ties" despite his confession of spy-
ing for Great Britain and Japan.
Vishinsky said Bessanoff had
played only a. minor role as conltact
man between Leon Trotsky, the exiled
former Soviet warlord, and Nicholas
N1. Krestinsky, amnother defendant.
It was indicated tomorrow would j
be devoted to the customary last I

diet was believed unlikely to come

Then, if precedent is followed, those
condemned to die probably would1
have five days at most to live-three
while their clemency pleas are con-
sidered and two before they are led
to the excution wall.
Hillel News issue

Nazi leader, was appointed to succeed
him.
The appointment -was announced
officially early today, after two days
of strife, rioting, troop mobilization
and bloodshed.
The new cabinet, all but two of
whom were Nazis, was announced as
follows:
Seysz-Inquart, Chancellor and de-
fense minister.
Wilhelm Wolff, foreign affairs.
Franz Hueber, justice. Hueber is a
brother-in-law of Germany's number
two Nazi, Field Marshal General Her-
mann Wilhelm Goering.
Oswald Menghin, education.
Dr. Hugo Jury, social welfare.
Rudolf Neumayer, finance.
Anton Rheinthaler, agriculture.
Hans Fitschboeck, commerce.
Michael Skubl, secretary of state.
Ernst Kaltenbrunner, Skubl's as-
sistant.
Hubert Klausuer, Nazis' political
representative.
Asks German Troops
Earlier, Seysz-Inquart had sent a
telegram to Hitler saying that the
"provisional Austrian Government"
requested Germany to send troops as
soon as possible to assist it in "pre-
venting the shedding of blood."
The new Chancellor was one of five
Nazi sympathizers included in the
cabinet at Hitler's order Feb. 15. He
started formation of a cabinet which
the press bureau declared would give
"thorough recognition to national-
ists'
Tonight's developments came after
moves and counter-moves by Schus-
chnigg and the Nazi command. There
was violence throughout Austria
Thursday and Friday.
Early today German troops mobil-
ized near the Austrian border. Austria
likewise sent troops to danger points.
Schuschnigg had his regular army of
70,000, but called out 100,000 reserves
and 30,000 guardsmen.
Vienna and many Austrian cities
were in turmoil, with Nazis and
Schuschnigg clashing over a plebis-
cite on Austrian independence Schus-
chnigg had ordered for Sunday.
Nazis Attack Plebiscite
Nazis denounced it vehemently,
claiming it was violation of Schus-
chnigg's agreement with Hitler at
Berchtesgaden Feb. 12.
As tension increased, schuschnigg
postponed the plebiscite indefinitely.
Then, Schuschnigg announced that,
bowing to the German ultimatum,
a new government was being formed.
He declared that "to prevent the
shedding of blood" orders had been
given for Austrian troops to fall
back "in case of invasion."
Before midnight the Nazi swastika
flew from the Chancellery and the
City Hall.
Vienna Nazis went wild.
While Schuschnigg, President Mik-
las and Seysz-Inquart were in con-
ference and before appointment of
the new Chancellor had been an-
nounced, many police and minor offi-
cials openly avowed their switch to
the Nazi cause,

PARIS, March 11.-(P)-France,
without a government and rebuffed
by Italy on a proposal for joint ef-
forts to save Austria's independence,
looked on helplessly tonight as Nazi
Germany proceeded to take power in
Vienna.
Premier-Designate Leon Blum,
confronted with a threat to the peace
of Europe, let it be known at the
same time he was confident of form-
ing a National Union Government-
of all parties from Communist to ex-
treme right.
Sources close to the Socialist lead-
er said the cabinet would be or-
ganized by early tomorrow and would
be ready to deal with events in Aus-
tria. Besides the critical situation in
central Europe, Blum was confronted
with a difficult financial problem
and labor unrest at home.
Although the People's F r o n t
showed signs of cracking under the
strain of events in Austria, its three
main components-Socialists, Com-
munists, Radical-Socialists-as well
as Socialist-Repubicans all agreed to
the National Union.
If Blum succeeds, Communists will
enter a French cabinet for the first
time.
Reverberations in Czechoslovakia
of Nazi power in Austria was the chief
concern of France. But the nation
also was alarmed over effects of
Germany's increasing might in Cen-
tral Europe,
Czech Cabinet Meets
PRAHA, Czechoslovakia, March 11.
-P)-2The Czechoslovakian Cabinet
met in special session tonight to con-
sider the general situation in con-
nection with events in Austria.
The impression prevailed in some
quarters that the Nazification of Aus-
tria was not the private concern of
that neighboring state, but a matter
affecting all western powers.
Reports from Bratislava, on the
Austrian-Czechoslovakia border about
40 miles from Vienna, said trains and
automobiles arriving there were filled
with refugees from Vienna.
U.S. To Keep Hands Off
WASHINGTON, March 11.-(1P-
Officials anxiously studied develop
ments in Austria and Central Eu-
rope tonight but maintained a "hands
off" attitude.
Taking their lead from Secretary
of State Hull, they refrained from
placing the United States in the posi-
tion of taking sides.
The secretary said he had con-
ferred with the President in the last
two days on the situation in Central
Europe, but without formulating a
special policy.
He denied emphatically a rumor
that the United States had urged
Germany in a friendly wayt on h md-
