Vienna, June 22 In the Burg garten where Austria's vanished royalty used to enjoy relaxation. the state and city tonight extended welcome to five thousand Rotar- ians and members of their families. A symphony concert gave taste of the city's musical resources, while in one corner of the garden a miniature Viennese cafe introduced that feature of Vienna's social life to the visitors from distant lands.
 Succeeding evenings of Rotary convention week will be filled with other musical diversions, for which Vienna has unsurpassed resources. Franz Lehar, member of the Vien- na Rotary Club. will conduct a gala Widow and also the premiere of his new operetta "The Land of Laughter" Two popular German operas. Der Rosenkavalier" and Die Meistersinger" will be present ed in the State Opera House for the Rotary visitors.
 In this way the European Rotar- ians have introduced novelties into the Rotary convention to take the place of a grand ball and elaborate banquets. Not only the VieHnese but the Rotarians of the other prin- cipal cities of Austria have made special preparations to entertain visitors. Many of the cities of Flu rope through which the travellers, particularly those from America, will pass, have arranged special festivities.
 One sign of this eagnerness to inn press visitors with the city's hospi- tality and ''gemutlichkeit" is the series of welcome addresses with which the convention will be open ed Tuesday morning. First comes Ernst PrinZhorn, president of the Vienna Rotary club. He will present Bundles President Dr Wilhelm Milk las of Austria, followed by the Oberburgemeister Karl SeitZ, mayor of Vienna, and then by Bundes- Kanzler Jacob Ender. prime min ister of Austria.
 This will pave the way for the annual message of the President of the Rotary. In this report, President Almon E. Roth will outline the growth and accomplishments of the past year, in spite of economic difficulties. Rotary clubs have been formed in many more countries. and the leadership of the organiza- ton has been internationalized to greater degree than ever before. The twelve directors are drawn from six countries, and the com- mittee members from a score.
 Sydney W. Pascal, one of Great Britain's leading confectionery manufacturers, has had charge of preparations for the Vienna con vention. His name has been men toned frequently as candidate for international president; nomina- tions are opened Tuesday morning. One of the 90 resolutions debated Monday afternoon by the voting delegates would add two more dele gates to the directorate on which. then, there would always he at least eight countries represented.
 Most of the other resolutions. which will be put to vote on We'd nesday, deal with changes In Rotary procedure. One would make even more strict the regulations which require n ROtarian to attend meet ings of his club regularly on pain or loss of membership.
 These are subordinate. however, to the great theme of the conven- ton which might he phrased accu- rntely as international relationships, Rotary's ultimate object is to foster international understanding, and it is the purpose of the convention to consider the causes underlying difh. 1uitles arising between nations SO that International goodwill mny be increased The establishment of friendly international contacts among Inc fsoiarlans Rt their ans nuRl reunions forms R necessary foundation f0r this work,
