...Bauernbund. His most noticeable characteristics are his smile, which is constant, and the strength of his fingers. Like most Austrians he is a politely limp handshaker, but to hearty knuckle-grinders he can return a grip of steel. In the Dollfuss character, nothing is so important as his ardent, almost fanatical Catholicism. Each morning, before going to the same big sunny office in the Chancellery that Prince Metternich used, he prays for half an hour. Just before church comes his exercise, on his knees too.

...Consumer's Board was revealed as a battlefield in which a clash of ideas had virtually stalemated its activities. Though Mrs. Rumsey was the daughter of the late great Railroader Edward Henry Harriman and founded the socialite Junior League, she is no conservative social idler. An ardent liberal with Democratic leanings, she believes in a co-operative commonwealth and the utmost protection for consumers against industrial profiteering. To her board was appointed Professor William Fielding Ogburn, University of Chicago sociologist who worked on Herbert Hoover's mammoth social trends survey. When the board commenced computing costs of living...
