...Schuschnigg exhibit at Tulln last week was a goggling, cadaver-like effigy of the former Chancellor cruelly tagged "Comical Kurt." Elsewhere, Nazi investigators were tirelessly conjuring up a case to link Kurt un-comically with the execution in 1934 of a number of National Socialists who killed his boss, Engelbert Dollfuss. Meanwhile, still a closely-watched prisoner in his Belvedere Castle, Herr Schuschnigg was being permitted the comfort of daily visits from his blonde, 34-year-old fiancee, Countess Vera Fugger von Babenhausen, whose talent for fine music was Schuschnigg's solace following the death of his wife...
...every part of Austria last week statues of the late Engelbert Dollfuss, who created at Vienna his country's Christian Corporative State (TIME, May 14, 1934), were thrown down and broken up with sledgehammers by Nazis...

There have been few political crimes in history more revolting than that of certain Austrian Nazis who, in 1934, disguised in Austrian uniforms, invaded the Chancellery in Vienna and shot in cold blood Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss, who lay groaning before he died (TIME, Aug. 6, 1934). To Schuschnigg and Miklas, the decree was immoral in every sense of the word, but the President signed it. Out of Austrian jails soon walked 54 Nazis convicted in the Dollfuss assassination case.
