Austria Copyrights
Its Presidents TitLf

VIENNA, Oct. 81 0.N.s0.-The
title Bundespresident." or Presi-
dent Of the Union, has been
copyrighted by the Austrian gov
ernment, so that it may be used
only by the chief executive of
the republic.
This decision was made after
several persons presiding over
trade unions were presented to
President Miklas as bundespresi-
dents, which fact led to the
rather comic confusions at the
presidential receptions.
