...that last year Chancellor Dollfuss bought off potent pro-Nazi Dr. Anton Rintelen, the uncrowned "King Anton" of the Austrian province of Styria, by the fat plum of making him Ambassador at Rome. The stark, one-sentence radio announcement was seemingly intended to convey to Austria that a Nazi Putsch headed by "King Anton" had succeeded. When a radio actor found a revolver and started shooting, a cool Nazi hurled a hand grenade, blew him to blazes. Meanwhile back at the Ballhaus ten pistol-brandishing Nazis had burst down the last white door and caught Chancellor Dollfuss...
Because the swank, sword-handy youths of socialite German university Studenten Korps have always been Jew-haters and fierce nationalists, they championed Adolf Hitler from the start. When his Munich beer hall Putsch fizzled in 1923 and Leader Hitler was clapped into a fortress, loyal "Nazi cells" in seven German universities were among the few brownshirt organizations to carry on. Last week came the first open rift between Korpstudenten and a Chancellor who, as one of his first acts, legalized their gory duels...
...censor during the War, Trebitsch-Lincoln proudly recounts that he was a spy for both sides. But when England tried and convicted him it was for forgery.

Said the latter: "I want to deny most decidedly all rumors about the possibilities of a Habsburg putsch, of romantic airplane flights to claim the throne and so forth. The tragic outcome of Otto's father's experiments in that direction is warning enough for him. Empress Zita is equally determined not to let her son risk his luck as a royal adventurer. The family has never
...German-inspired Nazi outrages in Austria. With a cavalier sweep wholly unsatisfactory to Vienna, Berlin abruptly denied all charges. Into steep-roofed Innsbruck the mobilized, armed Heimwehr marched, practically seizing control of the city. It was rumored that they had been ordered to do so to forestall a Nazi Putsch. If that was so it worked, for not a Nazi showed his head in Eastern Tyrol. But when a Heimwehr mass meeting finally was held, Heimwehr Commander Prince Ernst von Starhemberg was lamb-gentle with the Hitlerites, spent most of his time raking Chancellor Dollfuss for not living...
