Maintaining friendly relations with Hungary was important, but what Engelbert Dollfuss apparently went to Budapest for was to allow Vice Chancellor Emil Fey to perform a few blunt maneuvers for which Chancellor Dollfuss did not care to be directly responsible. The Heimwehr, fist of the Dollfuss regime, had seized virtual control of the Tyrol and was loudly demanding that the little Chancellor live up to his promise to end parliamentary government and attack Marxism in Austria (TIME, Feb. 12). Chancellor Dollfuss departed for Budapest and handed extraordinary powers to Vice Chancellor Fey, the Heimwehr's second in command...
...inclined to think--that any telegram from him would simply be assumed to proceed from the most altruistic reasons. For how could the boy who flew across the ocean with only a sandwich for company, who was so blushing and modest and gawky in the face of virtual deification, who got bored at a risque musical comedy, who ostentatiously spurned liquor and lechery, do anything ignoble?

...balanced and Mr. Bingham's request for a student tax or aid from the Corporation. To the prophets of disaster who believe that the day of large football gate receipts is past, the compromise will appear either as a postponement of the inevitable day of reckoning or a virtual subsidy to the H.A.A. But the outlook is by no means so gloomy as this. The time may come when college football will follow college baseball into financial oblivion, and when the University will be forced to find some other means of financing the athletic program. But for the immediate future...
