...Svenska National-Socialistika Parti (Nazi Party) existed in Sweden as far back as 1930, with a leader named Birger Furugärd and a slogan of "Sweden, Awake!" Later it merged with the larger National Socialist Workers Party founded in 1933 by Sven Olaf Lindholm, who likes to be called Sweden's Hitler. In the 1936 elections the combined parties polled 1.6% of the vote for the Riksdag. They have never won a Riksdag seat...
...sundown, heralds in parti-colored livery tilted silver trumpets, blew sweetly toward the dusky sky. From the Sacred Heart Church, 3,000 Roman Catholics-priests, nuns, altar-boys ringing bells, laity bearing bright banners and lighted candles -began moving in a long procession through the flower-decked streets.

It was the opening of the Dublin Horse Show, greatest event in the Irish social season and an annual magnet for scores of U. S. sportsmen on their way north for Scotland, Aug. 12 and grouse...
...removed Chancellor Bruning's silk hat from the German Embassy just as he was about to leave for the Vatican, leaving in its place a tiny topper that balanced precariously on his domelike forehead. At the Vatican the Swiss Guards were wrongly informed of the hour of his arrival. Parti-colored men at arms were still scurrying about the courtyard of San Damaso when the German automobile drew up. Foreign Minister Curtius, who is Protestant, paid a separate visit some hours later...
