Papertroopers Report
Decreased Collections

Decreasing collections of waste
paper in Washington are causing
concern among the Papertroopers
Brigade in view of the continued
shortage in the paper industry.
Last weeks collections totaled only
about 10000 pounds, less than half
the weekly average of last spring.
The earnings of the Parent-Teacher
groups participating in the program
fell to about $4,000 during November,
also less than half the average earn
ings per month last spring.
Shipment of new shoulder insignia
for Papertroopers ranking them
from lieutenant up through gen.
eral has been promised for this week
and it is hoped that this may stimu-
late the collections.
The grand total of the campaign
now stands at 1,404,372 pounds.

BY the Associated Press.

OSLO, Dec 8.-Documents iden-
tifying a humble Christiansand ar
tisan as the missing Archduke
Johann. Salvatore Won ToScana have
been ruled authentic by Norwe-
gian courts and as result at least
two Norwegian pretenders claim to-
day to be the rightful heirs to the
Austrian HapSburg dynasty.
The documents also have added
another chapter to the tender ro-
nance of Mayerling-and an anti
climactic one. The papers which
identify one Hugo Koehler, who died
last May in Christiansand, as the
missing archduke, had this to say
of the Mayerling story:
1t was not a romantic suicide pact
which led to the deaths of Crown
Prince Rudolf and his beloved
Baroness Maria VetSera in shoot
ing lodge at Mayerling in 1889. The
Crown Prince, son of Emperor Franz
Josef of Austria, according to these
documents, was clouted on the head
with a champagne bottle welded by
the baroness and died of the effects
thereof-and the baroness then was
shot to death by the Crown Princes
servant.
Documents Produced.
This is the story as it developed in
the past few days:
Counsel for the heirs Of Hugo
Koehler produced in the Norwegian
courts documents identifying him
as the Archduke Johann Salvatore
Won Toscana, son of Archduke Fer
dinand and grand-nephew of En-
peror Franz Josef. The archduke
had been supposed drowned in the
North Sea in 1891.
The courts employed experts and
established the authenticity of the
documents presented by the heirs
although the action did not rule on
whether Koehler in reality was the
long missing heir to the Austrian
throne, and not Archduke Otto.
The heirs, the courts said, must
bring their case before an Austrian
estate court for final settlement.
Counsel for the heirs seeking
acknowledgement of their claims
assert that Salvatore left Vienna
in 1890-shortly after the Mayerling

| tragedy on q ship which went
down. All aboard were believed
lost at the time, but the heirs say
Salvatore was rescued and taken tc
Norway, where he assumed the
name of Koehler. He married q
Norwegian woman and had several
children, some Of whom are still
living.
One of Koehler's sons-in- law
Ferdinand Rolfsvaag, Bergen
businessman, maintains that his son
Franz, is the legal pretender to the
Austrian throne because he is the
