If Archduke Otto of Hapsburg
were King, he'd be the kind of mon
arch you could talk to on the tele-
phone if you called his palace.
That's what impressed the 27-
year-old pretender to the fallen
Austrian empire when he called the
King of Norway, and that's how he'd
like to be himself.
But his trip to the United States,
which brought him to Washington
yesterday, isn't for personal prop
uganda, he said today. In fact, he
loathes propaganda with the same
loathing he has for Adolf Hitler
and the rest OF. the Nazi govern
ment-and for the same reason.
Tine Germans have destroyed 50
much from propaganda" he ex-
planned. Their propaganda is mar
velous for the masses"
His Picture With Criminals.
It is the Germans who make it
impossible for him to return to his
beloved Austria. With the same nom
chalance that he discussed the rea-
son why he smokes only in the
afternoon he revealed that he
would be executed if he ever put
foot within dominated land.
I'm their police newspaper" he
explained, they published a pic
ture of me with all my crimes along
with all the other criminals. 1t was
most interesting reading"
His younger brother, Archduke
Felix, who is accompanying him on
his trip, would also lose his head If

The Justice Department disclosed
today that agents of the Federal

investigating allegations that Ma

The agents have been at work
since Attorney General Jackson re-

Smith of the special House COM
mittee investigating the Labor
Board as to whether the Justice
Department felt board ofacials were
guilty OF law violation.
At the time, Mr.. Jackson replied

To See President Roosevelt.
The grandnephews Of the arch
duke whose assassination precipi-
tated the World War were looking
forward to meeting President Roose-
velt late this afternoon.
"He has made so much for peace
in Europe In the last months before
the war" said Archduke Otto, his
English faltering under the stress Of
emotion. I'VE are so grateful to
him."

Referring to the brothers as being

Majority Leader Barley suggested

Archduke otto has q way with
English. It is, he said with some
pride, American English" He
learned it in Spain.
Handsome and with q little black
mustache, his regular features show
little trace Of the famous Hapsburg
chin, but he talks like king when
he gets to the subject Of the Danube
Federation, his dream Of the future,
when peace comes again to Europe.
"1t is my sacred duty" he said,
ito plan now for those who cannot
speak for themselves, my people"
Expects Allied Victory.
He has not a doubt that the allies
will be victorious because they do
not have the burden Of keeping mil
lions of conquered people subdued
by force" and so it is of peace that
he thinks-and the federation of
small nations for mutual protection
after peace.
And If the federation is formed
and he becomes its king, there would
be as great freedom for his people
as in a democracy because he be-
lieves monarchy is the best protec-
tion of democracy.
The young man with the dream Of
empire would model his country and

he said, gesturing to describe the
King of Norway walking down the

An amendment by Senator Nc

The House, having passed the
$118,578,187 Interior Department ap-
propriations bill yesterday after
cutting $3,479,277 from budget esti-

Coal Division Funds Cut.
The House chopped another mil
hon dollars from appropriations for
the Bituminous Coal Division, cut
ting its proposed funds for the next
fiscal year to $1,187 300 compared
with $3,500,000 current year.
The reduction came on an amend
ment to the Interior Department ap-
preparation bill by Representative
Allen, Democrat, of Pennsylvania,
long bitter opponent of the Guf1ey
Act.
Coal men said that if the 81 ,OO0,-
600 cut from the bill were not re-
stored in the Senate it would re-
quire major curtailment of the divi-
sion's activities. They said the re-
duction represented roughly the
equivalent of the cost of operating
all field Offices plus one months
operation of the Washington head
quarters last year.
Before cutting into the divisions
finances, the House had ruled out
an amendment to the appropriation
bill which would have exempted
Federal, State and municipal gov
ernments from provisions of the
Guf1ey Act fixing minimum prices
for sale of coal.
