Dmger Thrills Von Starhemberg, g
 Stormy Petrel of Austrian Politics
By ALVIN Y. STEINKOPF


 VIENNA, July 15.-Prince Ernst Ruediger voh StarAemberg, muscu- lar 36-year-old storm center of Aus tIian politics, gets kick out ot living dangerously.
 He borrowed his fascism from Mussolini, but his physical courage and zest for dangerous situations is his own His spectacular career in wars, rebellions, putsches and po- litics gives proof of fearlessness.
 The Russians shot at him on the eastern front. The Italians shot at him on the Piave. The Poles shot at him in Silesia.
 He risked his neck with Adolf Hit Ter in his beer hall putsch in Mu- nich.
 Assassination Plots Rolled
 In August, 1933 two nazis bent on assassination were arrested as they crept up on Starhemberg.
 By April, 1884, hoard of Aus trian socialists with thousands ot guns had proclaimed him special enemy No. l, and indicated how they felt about it by floating a coffin bearing Starhemberg name down the Danube river.
 Two months later a large bomb, ready to blast the building from it's foundations, was found in a room above his officer in Balhaus plaza.
 This succession of events indi- cated that enemies of the fascist prince would go to almost any length to eliminate him as a political force.
 Almost every day some sinister incident brought new evidence that many persons would have regarded it an act of high patriotism to stop Starhemberg with a bullet.
 The opposition which he encoun- tered actually contributed to Star hembergs rise, for it prompted him to take over and strengthen Aus tria' s largest private army, the helm wehr. He used it to smash the socialists and to chase the nazis to cover after the putsch in which Chancellor Dollfuss was assassinat- ed.
 Called Prince Brg Mouth
 While physical courage is perhaps the outstanding characteristic of the prince, his other qualities make him a colorful public figure. He is a forceful orator with platform per sonality which commands attention.
 Rarely does he write out an ad- dress in advance. He prepares an outline, and then hammers home his ideas with simple, direct words. He has a flair for sensational state ments.
 Early in his political career his foes tried to dismiss Starhemberg' s l speeches as bluff and bombast. His bolder opponents sometimes called him Prince Big Mouth. But it soon became apparent that while Starhermerg said a lot he always was prepared to do lot.
 A typical Starhemberg speech was delivered in September, 1883. Chan cellor Dollfuss and other dignitaries had gathered at the statue of Star hemberg's renowned ancestor, Count 1 Ruediger von Starhemberg, to cele- brate the anniversary of the counts | defeat of the Turks at the gates of Vienna. Prince Starhemberg was expected to say a few appropriate words.

Special Dispatch to The Star
LURAY, Va, March 1s.-Much
property damage was reported as
waters of Hawksbill Greek began TO
recede late last night.
Automobiles, houses and live stock
were carried downstream, but no loss
Of life was reported.
About 20 families left their homes
along the creek in Luray, while others
prepared to move. Barns and new
garages went down the creek. Water
came to the back door of the post
office, and it was impossible to reach
the post office on foot. Postal officials
refused to permit pictures to be made
of the office.
The fire company moved w. T.
Painter, so, and his family to safety
after water threatened his home.
The Shenandoah River was re-
ported up about 18 feet and still rising,
but no homes are located close to
river near Luray. Near Shenandoah,
however, at Ingham and in Steam
Hollow, families were preparing to
move. The river probably will reach
its height at noon today. In the
mountain portion the bank of the
Luray reservoir caved in, while in
Shenandoah Park many slides and
cave-ins we're reported. Men worked
all last night to prevent slides from
blocking the tracks Of the Norfolk &
Western Railway. Near Elkton the
road was reported flooded.

Miss Rankin urged her audience to

The main point at issue, she said, Is
whether people should have the

T.aomaston, Nov. 20.-That the efforts of the Thomaston Business Mems Association which passed out of existence c number of years ago. were not in vain, has again been proven.

The original balance was accumulated when the Business Mems association was the most ac- tive organization in town.

History Proved Wrong

Archaelogists delving among the relics of the Shang Dynasty in Honan Province find that the history books of China have been guilty of many mistakes through the years. Already 50 pits and 100 tombs have yielded a vast amount of information about the dynasty which existed from 1783 to ll35 B. c. The principal error has been with regard to chronology. The names of the many kings have been mispelled frequently. The years of the various reigns are badly out of balance. It will take much time and patience to sift the data and correct history 50 as to give the Chinese people proper under standing of their ancient civiliza- ton.
