...jolt to Russian prestige in Russian-occupied lands in a month. Hungary's Communists had been snowed under by the Small Holders Party (TIME, Nov. 12). Now Austria's Communists went down to defeat even in the working-class districts of Vienna and Wiener Neustadt. The Volks-partei, heir to Dollfuss' old Christian Social Party and catchall for former members of the Pan-German and Heimwehr parties, rolled up about half of the vote.

"Fatal bullets struck you, even though you were innocent," he cried. "May your sacrifice be a guiding sign for us." Throaty shouts of "Seig Heil" punctuated the speech of Henlein's stooge, Deputy Karl Hermann Frank, as he defiantly used words from the forbidden Nazi Horst Wessel hymn and roared...
