NEW YORK.-Big beefy, hand
1 some Joseph Buerckel, forty
years old, with hard fists and a
whip-lash tongue, is Hitler's grand
marshal of the
Hard Fists Nazi subjugation
to Nazify of Austria. To the
Aysfr;ons surprise of Nazi
home talent in
Austria, he is given entire charge
of the fusion and subordination of
the Austrian Nazis by Berlin.
He was poor schoolmaster who
worked his way up by continuous
and !diligent Jew-hating. While less
earnest and Industrious young men
were wasting their time, he was
working nights, Sundays and holi-'
days on this, his chosen career.
Against stiff competition, it took
him years to gain distinction, but
at last he came to outrank even the
Industrious Julius Streicher in long,
distance anti-Semitism. .
He was born in. the Palatinate,
the south German territory adjoin-
ing theaSaar. He was in the World
war, in. the closing years, and joined
the Hitler movement soon after the
Munich beer hall putsch in 1923.
He was good roughand-tumble
fighter and organizer and was adj
vanced rapidly in the more overt
and violent party drives. 4

moved as Saar commissioner, in
1884, and made

pervision was the jug-handled pleb-
iscite and his the exultant radio
voice which told the +, world that
German justice had triumphed.

calls at the British foreign office,
perhaps to hint that something
seems to have gone wrong.
He is the son of the late DR..
Thomas Masaryk, first president of
. Czechoslovakia. His mother was an
American, born and reared in
Brooklyn, and so is his wife, the
former Mrs. Francis Crane Leather

Ia At the age of eighteen, he ran
away from the University of
Prague, in the early years of the
! war, and worked in a factory at
Bridgeport, Conn. He returned

was the first Czech minister to the
United States in 1919.
He has his famous fathers i'm,
passioned belief in democracy, and
has been its eloquent defender in
central Europe, where his country
is Horatius at the Bridge.
