Masons, plasterers and glaziers clambered around wooden scaffolding busily repairing gaping holes in Vienna's great municipal apartment houses. Street-corner telephone booths, kiosks and blank walls suddenly blossomed with green and white posters of Prince Ernst Rüdiger von Starhemberg and Vice Chancellor Emil Fey. From Budapest arrived sleek bespectacled Fulvio Suvich, Italian Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs, who had been discussing a possible Italian-Austro-Hungarian trade alliance with the Hungarian Government. He closeted himself for several hours with little Chancellor Dollfuss, then rushed off for Rome. In Trieste, earlier in the week, Italian police suddenly...
Maintaining friendly relations with Hungary was important, but what Engelbert Dollfuss apparently went to Budapest for was to allow Vice Chancellor Emil Fey to perform a few blunt maneuvers for which Chancellor Dollfuss did not care to be directly responsible. The Heimwehr, fist of the Dollfuss regime, had seized virtual control of the Tyrol and was loudly demanding that the little Chancellor live up to his promise to end parliamentary government and attack Marxism in Austria (TIME, Feb. 12). Chancellor Dollfuss departed for Budapest and handed extraordinary powers to Vice Chancellor Fey, the Heimwehr's second in command...
Leaving Vienna for a purpose, little Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss climbed down from his railway carriage at Budapest one day last week and shook hands with his beetle-browed confrère, Premier Gömbös of Hungary. It was an occasion. They talked.

Nine years ago, a number of the most important men in Hungary including Prince Louis of Windisch-Graetz and the chief of police of Budapest, thought up a very simple scheme for "rehabilitating the finances of Hungary." It was nothing less than printing trunkloads of large lavender French 1,000-franc notes at the Hungarian State Cartographical Institute and dumping them in France and Holland. The forgeries were excellent, but the forgers forgot that all French 100-and 1,000-franc notes that come from the Bank of France are counted by hand and pinned together in bunches...
...indeed had an explosive career. Born on Manhattan's Varick Street 51 years ago, he grew up at Army posts. His father, a bandmaster, died of embalmed beef at Tampa during the Spanish-American War. When he was 20, Fiorello got into the consular service, serving at Budapest, Trieste and Fiume. A row over immigrant inspection sent him back to Ellis Island, where he was interpreter until 1910, when he began to practice law. He went to Congress on the Republican ticket in 1917, took a leave of absence when the War broke out. He corralled a group...
