Masons, plasterers and glaziers clambered around wooden scaffolding busily repairing gaping holes in Vienna's great municipal apartment houses. Street-corner telephone booths, kiosks and blank walls suddenly blossomed with green and white posters of Prince Ernst Rüdiger von Starhemberg and Vice Chancellor Emil Fey. From Budapest arrived sleek bespectacled Fulvio Suvich, Italian Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs, who had been discussing a possible Italian-Austro-Hungarian trade alliance with the Hungarian Government. He closeted himself for several hours with little Chancellor Dollfuss, then rushed off for Rome. In Trieste, earlier in the week, Italian police suddenly...
...foreign popularity of little Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss. The final outcome was never in doubt, but for nearly 48 hours determined Socialists actually had the upper hand in Linz and Steyr (Austria's Detroit). For a brief time even the Heimwehr commander, theatrical Prince Ernst Rüdiger von Starhemberg, was surrounded. Victorious at last and with a handful of bedraggled prisoners, he announced magnanimously...
Totally unready to die, Chancellor Dollfuss was last week busily stuffing up the chinks in his ''Patriotic Front" coalition against Naziism. Already head of the army, police and gendarmerie, he took over the headship of Prince Ernst Rüdiger von Starhemberg's "White Fascist" Heimwehr.

Vienna's defenses were in the hands of a peruked gallant, Count Rüdiger von Starhemberg, who had under him a man destined to be one of the world's great generals, Prince Eugene of Savoy. Again the victory was not truly Austria's. What sent the Turkish legions pell mell back across the plains of Hungary was the arrival...
Starhemberg. Of the thousands who have rallied round Chancellor Dollfuss, three men are important. Prince Ernst Rüdiger von Starhemberg, a smooth-cheeked, smiling young man, has the same name, the same temperament as his ancestor who led the defense of Vienna in 1683. An out-&-out Fascist, he has spent most of his great fortune founding, drilling, equipping the Heimwehr that is now the backbone of the Dollfuss Government. Once a friend of Adolf Hitler, he fought beside him in the Munich "Beer Hall Putsch" of 1923, broke away when he suddenly realized that Handsome Adolf was committed...
