Austrian Judge DenOunces
 Claqueurs As Fraud Public

VIENNA, Aug, ?. P)-Organized applause constitutes a deception of the public, in the opinion of Vienna judge. Persons engaged to do the hand-clapping and to voice their ap- plause in other ways cannot claim remuneration.
 The case arose from a dispute be- tween Dr. Stefan, composer of comic opera, entitled, "Agri," and the leader of a claque at the Burg theater, where the first performance of "Agri" was given. The leader claimed that the composer had agreed to employ the services of the claque, and that the cIaquers had rendered manual service worth 50O,OOO crowns.
 The judge declined to hear just what the arrangement between the wto men was, and rendered judg- ment against the chief Of the cIa- quers on the grounds that the ac- tiyity of claque constitutes a fraud upon the public, and that it is immoral

Elderly Germans Vent
 Feeling On Reichstag

BERLIN, Aug. 25. (P)-The Reich8- tag recently was treated to a true interpretation of public sentiment, at least the sentiment of public, when 200 men and women demanded savings wrecked by the imitation of the mark.
 These elderly people visited the Reichstag to settle their account with the German Nationalists, an account which they claimed resulted from promises by that party of an ade- quate revaluation of ther bank ac- counts and depreciated securities in return for their votes.
 Efforts by two Nationalisss to stem the tide of protest proved futile and eventually the demonstration became so turbulent that all other business of Reichstag was suspended. The Nationalists fled the hall. All other parties then were drawn into the discussion.
 One old woman expressed her feel ings, declaring that all German Ma tionals should be hanged. An old man rushed about the lobby seeking support for plan to partition the property of the Hohenzollerns. His was cry was: Those persons who lost the war should not get a pen sion. It's the first duty of the state to care for those who sacrificed their children and their hard-earned savings"
