Variety Of Notes
From Austria

Notes on a Calendar Pad

IL Is only WcCA SlAASS C.S
firing died down in Vienna, with
a few snipers left in the sewers
and the government offering
cash down for rifles surrendered.
It might as we'll be ten years
ago, for all we think Of it. we've
been showed under since. by
snow, by the death of a king,
by the airmail scandal. we
can't keep up with events. But
the new week begins with Aus
tria maSsing troops on her Ger
man border.
In a Scranton newspaper I
saw a clipping from a magazine
(not the most successful in its
field rebuking Lindbergh for
his telegram to the President
and suggesting that Lindbergh
had done no more in his flight
to Paris than Steve Brodie had
done by his jump. This revival
of debunking was probably the
result of a long editorial con-
ference during which some peo-
pie probably spoke of courage"
and editorial freedom" The
freedom to be aggresSively silly
Is guaranteed by the Constitu-
ton; but I'd like to see the edl-
tors mail on this subject.
The postwar world has had
O new sensation: The corona
ton Of a king. 1t followed the
death of the only principal fig
Ure in the World war for whom
even his enemies had respect,
the only one not a victim of the
Great Good Peace of Versailles.
But the first coronation since
1918 was a throWback to the
past.
Notes on a Time Table
Leaving York, Pa, some time
ago, rode in a day coach
heated by a coal-stove. Out OF
Scranton, the other day, I was
the only passenger in the Pull
man for more than an hour and
only q dozen other people were
on the train. Two ate in the
diner. ct was a holiday In
spite of the deadly Sameness"
Of American life. I noted again
that the menus and the service
differed, on various lines. Even
the makeup Of sleepers isn't
exactly the same on the Penn
Sylvania and the New York Cen
trail
Notes on a Theater Program
Elizabeth Bergner, the star
of Catherine the Great" has
startled nearly everyone be-
cause she is a great actress
and she is not beautiful. That
is to say, she isn't beautiful
in the common movie sense
and. she uses her face to ex-
press feeling, as she uses her
voice, her arms, and the way
she walks. She may have a
dangerous effect on the pic
lures which have managed to
get along pretty well, so far,
without acting. If they try it
now, as beginners, they may
lose their charm.
The text of Gertrude STEMS
opera, -Four Saints in Three
Acts" is said to render the
audience semiconScious; in that
it hardly differs from most
other operate texts. A whiff
of ether just as the curtain
rises might help.
Notes on a Radio Log
The women of Scranton are
petitioning their local broad

Paying for Publicity.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

Cincinnati Enqulrer)
 The disclosure that MT. Ivy Lee, widely known publicity counsel, has been retained by agents of the German Government to advise them on counting American favor does not come as surprise. MT Lees frequent visits to Germany and various other hints in the last year made it plain that he was profiting by the Hitler Governments conspicuous need for good will in America. There is nothing unusual or reprehensivle about this relationship, so long it involves simply the advising Of the Berlin Government to tactful policies.
 Lees and other such firms have been employed many times by foreign governments to advise those governments to how they can develop policies to win friendship in America or how they can pre- sent their to the American public in favorable light. The most use of publicity counses by foreign governments doubt has been to supply
 favorable bits of news as the prelude to the floating of bond issues in America This particular objective in propaganda has not been very important since i1930, when foreign securities have been un- popular in the United States.
 The Mccormack Committee appears to be suc- cessful in getting of information regarding German propaganda in America. It does not follow that this information forms the basis for indict- ment of German propaganda methods The methods, so far the committee has divuged them, the usual employed by foreign governments in the United States
 We should make careful distinction, in read ing the from the Mccormack Committee be- tween propaganda calculated to foster good will toward Germany, and agitation seeking to set in this country organizations which are inimcal to our democratic system. These are wholly distinct objectives, and must be dealt with by wholly diff ferent methods. Perhaps the most interesting con- clusions to be drawn from the evidence so far is the fact that the Hitler Government through its
 agents has spent lot of money for advice in gaining Americas good will, and has little good will to show for it. Either the advice and aid it got from New
 York publicity counsel was an inferior product, or
 else Berlin did not use the advice it received.

 revive the old Austrian tradition in opposition to union with Ger many, the Burgtheater in Vienna produced a play eulogizing Prince Eugene, one of the great military heroes of Austria's past who also was a small man. The allusion was not lost upon the audience.
 Scores in Diplomatic Field
 But diminutive though he was in physical Stature, Dollfuss meas ured up with others in statecraft. At the world economic conference in London in June 1883, one ob- server said ''he skipped to the platform like a schoolboy, then proceeded to plead his country's cause with complete success.' At League of Nations sessions in Gen eva he also scored by clear and convincing presentations of Auss trian viewpoints. tf fE One of his great triumpl1s in this field was scored at Rome. Using his favorite method of tray el, the airplane, he flew to Italy's capital at time when the rise of Adolf Hitler to power in Berlin had turned attention to the sev- eral points of similarity between German and Italian Fascism and revived talk of a Fascist belt" across Europe that would include Austria and evolve ultimately in 'anschluss"
 Dollfuss, Austria's little Ma poleon," talked with Benito Mus solini, Italys stoutly-built modern Caesar" to such good effect that he went back to Vienna in the wake of public announcement that Italy would frown upon any change in the independent staus of the Republic. Thereafter "anschluss" in the political sense was soft pedalled so far as official Berlin was concerned.
 1 Wife Worries About Smoking Personally Dollfuss was as mild as his acts were drastic. He lived unpretentiously, finding sur cease from official cares in the middle-class atmosphere of a we'll ordered home. His wife, a quiet housewifely woman, kept in the background, devoting her energies to their two children, Rudolf and Eva, and to the difficult task of saving her husband from unnec- essary strain.
 He eats too little and smokes too much" she used to say. His tastes in that direction were sim pie. His favorite dish was a cream potato soup, such as he ate on the farm as a boy. He drank chiefly water but smoked innum- erable cigarettes.

 MT. Johnson is a well known resident of the Interior and was a member of the Territorial Leg islature from the Fourth Division during the terms of 1923 and 1929. He is engaged in the automobile business in Fairbanks where he has lived for number of years.
 Many friends of Miss Tripp and her family are attending the an-. nouncement tea this afternoon and extending felicitations to the bride to-be. The romance began during a visit of MT. Johnston's to Ju- neau several years ago and the announcement has been expected for some time by close friends of the couple.

WATERFOWL REPORTS SHOW
 CONDITIONS SERIOUS.

Unusual weather last winter led to unusual behavior by waterfowl. This in turn caused many hunters to overestimate the number of these birds bunch up and migrate southward two or three weeks ahead of time. Dry lakes, marshes, and pools a wide caused large numbers of birds to concentrate on the favorable feeding grounds giving the impression of increased numbers
 Mild weather in the West caused, birds to stop north of their usual wintering areas agans leading many persons to believe that waterfowl were in creasng The severe winter in the East drove birds farther South than usual, leading to lnwarranted optimism there These and other, facts on the waterfowl situation stressed in reports coming to the Bureau of Biological Survey from all oyer the country.
 Black ducks malards pintails wdgeons, and green winged teal were present last winter in fair numbers and canvasbaeks about held their own, compared with the last two years. However, there was a marked shortage of redheads, lesser scaups, shovelers e-wnged teal. and other small species Greater scaups showed some increase on Great South Bay Long Island and along the Connecticut coast Canade geese and blue geese maintained their numbers and showed some increase in some local areas. but the brant of the Atlantic coast were reduced greatly, owing to the Joss of their fayorite food-zthe eelgrass, .s...

Wilson's Idealism.
(Raleigh News and Observer0

Wilson was beaten, but there is evidence at hand to indicate that the world won There is indeed every evidence that the fifteen years since Wilson, who had won the war, lost the peace, have been years in which the world moved in foolishness into deeper tragedy. Wilson's idealism, fifteen years after still seems to offer the only practical way to world peace and prosperity The Nationalsts have had their day, and bitter day it has been. The dictator still struts, but he acts with cruelty that makes evident his fears
 At such a time in such world mistake will be made if there is re-examnation of the idealism which repudated by the practical politicians"

Columbia to Present Stars
in Morning and After
: noon Programs.
N EXTENSIVE campaign tt

N EXTENSIVE campaign to
n provide stellar program fea-
N lures for the daytime listen
~ ers will be conducted by the
Columbia Broadcasting System
this Fall and Winter. AS a result
of a recent meeting of the program
officials it was decided to bolster the
day schedule with outstanding broad
casts that promise to equal the evening
shows in entertainment value.
This concentrated move is motivated
by a number of reasons. Because the
night hours are largely set this coming
will bring many diversified attractions
to the after-dinner listener, time allow
ance will not permit the presentation
of many sustaining features. So 1t is
planned to introduce new radio pro-
grams and assemble the best possible
individual talent for those who listen
during the daylight hours.
Another factor was the report OF
the increase In the amount of fan
mail from the morning and afternoon
radio audience. A survey revealed
that the potential daytime listening
public has been growing rapidly, the
automobile radio being an important
item In this growth. Also, it is found
that daytime broadcasts of particular
merit are in, almost every case received
with warm appreciation by people who
dial their radio receivers between
breakfast and dinner.
In this new swing to earlier hours
not only viii new personalities be de-
veloped, but many outstanding names
on the air today will be utilized to
attract the daylight listeners. The
