Jitters- With Chancellor Hitler breathing the fresh, free air of the Bavarian Alps, a bad case of jitters sent Vice Leader Rudolf Hess of the Nazi Party, who is often called "Hitler's Other Self," dashing up to Königsberg, the picturesque capital of Old Paul's East Prussia. Shouting like one possessed over a nation-wide radio hookup, Orator Hess roared that the Storm Troops are not military, but that Leader Hitler has a right to condemn even guiltless Storm Troopers to death because "in a military mutiny every tenth man is punished, irrespective of whether...
...over the respective merits of George Gershwin, Jerome Kern and Irving Berlin, the important triumvirate in the U. S. songwriting industry. But comparisons are inept. George Gershwin, more technically ambitious than the others, has more musically ambitious enthusiasts. Jerome Kern has never claimed to be a popular songwriter. Like Rudolf Friml and Sigmund Romberg, he writes wholly for shows. His charming music would fit well into the best of Viennese operettas. When Alexander Woollcott wrote his biography of Irving Berlin (1924), he asked Jerome Kern to supply a colleague's estimate. Kern was reminded of Wagner because Berlin, like...
...reactionary family in Europe, they are for the most part either dissolute or fanatically Catholic, but to those who do not know them they represent the glories and the comforts of a vanished era.

Since Plank No. 16 is so much a part of the Platform that it can scarcely be torn out with safety, Chancellor Hitler soothed his Storm Troops with a statement issued by Chief Adjutant Rudolf Hess. "Strong measures will be taken if misguided efforts to boycott department stores do not cease," declared Chief Adjutant Hess, "but the Party's attitude toward department stores remains unchanged in principle. Its solution will follow in due course. In view of the Government's fight against unemployment, it is undesirable to undertake at the present time anything calculated to ruin stores which...
...Chancellery that Prince Metternich used, he prays for half an hour. Just before church comes his exercise, on his knees too. With his brown-haired German wife Elwine looking on, he plays horsie for half an hour with their two chubby and attractive children: Eva, 5, and Rudolf (better known as Rudi), 2. But Chancellor Dollfuss' Catholicism is studded with Calvinistic phrases. He is devoid of personal ambition, believes himself directly inspired by God. Correspondents figure that when explaining his policies he uses the phrase "according to my conscience" at least once every ten minutes. Dollfuss, incidentally, like equally...
