THIRD PARTY TALK FEATURES SESSION
Local CIO Delegates Vote to Ask John L. Lewis to
 Investigate

Possibility of a third party being organized for the national election campaign this year was discussed at meeting held last night at CIO headquarters under the sponsorship of Labor's Non-Partisan league. The 55 delegates from many labor or ganizations adopted resolution asking John L. Lewis to investigate fully the third party proposal.
 Labor legislation was discussed, and plans made for sending a dele gation to Washington to discuss with members of congress important measures that are now pending.
 Speakers declared that the two major parties are indicating a lack of interest in such needs as work relief appropriations, slum clear ance and low cost housing and youth problems.
 Among the speakers were Calvin Sutherlin, state organizer for the league A. A. Hartwell, of Washing ton, D. C., national director: John J. Driscoll and Shelton Overbaugh, local members of the state commit tee of the league.

BY WILLIS THORNTON NEA Service Staff Writer

King without a crown, emperor without an empire, sovereign with out subjects, Otto of Hapsburg comes to the United States with one attribute nothing seems able to take away. That is hope.
 Otto is the serious, good looking young man with the fixed idea that he is the king of Hungary and em- peror of the old Austro- Hungarian domains of central-eastern Europe.
 He comes "incognito" as Due de Bar. Put on ice for the moment is his full name of Franz Joseph Otto Robert Maria Anton Karl Maximilian Heinrich Sixtus Xavier Renatus Ludwig Gaetan, Plus Igna- tius von Hapsburg-Lor and Bourbon Parma. On ice likewise are his hereditary titles of By Gods Grace Emperor of Austria, King of Hungary, of Bohemia, Dal- maSia, Croatia, Slavonia, Galicia, Lodomeria and Illyria-and so on down to the bottom of the page. RETAINS FICTION
 OF ROYAL COURT Y,
 For 22 years this personally att tractive man has lived on hope. Homeless, he has drifted from country to country, seeking sympa- thy and support where he could find 1t. Almost without income, since his family possessions were stripped from him by revolution and Nazi invasion, he has lived as best he could. Without court, he has maintained the fiction of one, and the most ordinary houSe-servant must call-him Majesty"
 Fiercely flaming these fires of hope has been the most tenacious, iron -willed woman of today, his mother, the Empress zita.
 Never for one moment, since her husband, the Emperor Karl, last Hapsburg to rule their ancient do- mains, fled to Switzerland in 1913 as the empire crashed about their ears, has this inflexible woman ceased to plot and plan and scheme for restoration of what was. Be- hind Otto's American trip her rest less mind still seethes with plans for "her boy"
 Osto's game has been waiting game. It still is. Powerless him. self, he still has his name, his blood. From babyhccd he has been educated as an emperor. Mean- while the family carried on as best it could, waiting, waiting for the day when some move on the Euro pean chessboard might leave an opening for Otto to jump into the king row.
 HIS HOPES ARE NOT
 ENTIRELY FORLORN
 It has not been impossible at several times in the past. It is not impossible now.
 For instance! One of the lesser reasons why Hitler annexed Austria when he did was to beat Otto to It. Restoration of Otto was widely rumored at about that time, ind had some support. It was also said that the British would not have objected to a Hapsburg kingdom on Ger many's borders, barring expansion. There are some today who feel that a strong Hungarion monarchy might bar the German "Drang mach Osten." \ British French victory in the present war might well provide domains in which the victors would prefer a Hapsburg to Hitler.
