Since the object of the Nazis had been to make Dr. Anton Rintelen, "King Anton" of Nazi Styria, their Chancellor, this was as much as to say that Chancellor Dollfuss had yielded at his last gasp to the Nazi solution...
There is only one Rintelen. All Austria knows 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...
...Loving authority but hating responsibility, his tactics right along have been subtly to force Chancellor Dollfuss to do the things that Fey would do were he Chancellor. Austria's grey-jacketed private army, the Heimwehr, is divided into three groups. One part, under former Governor Anton Rintelen of Styria, is so frankly pro-Nazi that the Governor was hastily made Ambassador to Italy a few weeks ago.

Maintaining a private court runs into big money. Last year H. ex-R. H. announced that the Guelph treasure was for sale. The city of Hanover attempted to buy it, was unable to raise the money. The Duke of Brunswick, descendant of the Popes' most zealous defenders, sold...
...crown, imperial orb and sceptre, is standing under a vaulted canopy the front of which contains a relief of St. Christopher with the Christ child. Around the Emperor are grouped the emblems of his sovereignty and coats of arms of the Empire, the Hapsburg dynasty. Upper and Nether-Austria, Styria, and Lombardy, together with heraldic lions and an eagle, the latter holding in his beak a ribbon with the letters A. E. I. O. U. (Austria Erit in Orbe Ultima)--the Emperor's favorite motto. His long flowing hair and delicate, refined lines of his aristocratic face heighten the ornate...
