Exceedingly devout, Dr. Schuschnigg, although hospitalized, insisted on arising three times to pray at his wife's coffin. Meanwhile, since Austria has hung on the brink of revolution ever since the assassination of Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss (TIME, Aug. 6), hoary President Wilhelm Miklas in consternation summoned the Cabinet, while Vienna buzzed with rumors that Nazi agents had tampered with the steering gear of the Schuschnigg automobile...

Most of his staff, during a lull in their enforced tour of duty with the troops, were still in uniform...

From its opening month ago with Bruno Walter conducting the Eroica funeral march in honor of murdered Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss, the Festival has sounded a steady crescendo of enthusiasm. The climax everyone wanted to hear arrived last week when Toscanini picked up his baton before the Vienna Philharmonic. In honor of Mozart, he opened his program with the D Major Symphony. Salzburg audiences this year have showered flowers on Mengelberg, applauded...
