governments would not buy them, the
United States could throw them on

What would happen then? If the

debt in nicely engraved bonds of M00

buy them In when put on the market?
Boasting a balanced budget and a sur

would It have to buy them to protect

If simply nothing happened. If the
governments did not buy and their

Austria's Economic Rot
At Bottom of Political
Strife Since World War
Once Proud Country of Fifty Million Souls
Sees Evil Days Since Loss of
Main Natural Resources
By THOMAS J. HAMILTON, JR.
WASHINGTON, July 36. (AP) What alls Austria?
Where once Frana Joseph's hussara danced to Strauss waltscs in the
world', gayest civilisation, despair .talks.
Men's hands are turned against each other. A chancellor Ilea dead,
.hot In hie chancellory. The world watches, fearing war.
What 1. the reason?
Students, pondering that question,
have found much of the answer in
economics.
Austria la a head without a body.
War performed that operation and It
1. proving no more successful In the
political-economic field than It ever
did In the biological.
- Once Brilliant Capital.
Before the war Vienna was the
world's most brilliant capital Insou
ciant, sophisticated, savoring the tang
of life with a amlle. From It through
Budapest waa the capital of Austria's
partner Hungary went the royal
orders, bearing the Hapsburg double
eagle. Viennese bankera held away
over the Austro-Hungarlan financial
realm. The economic life of the em
pire revolved around Vienna.
There were problem., of course. The
dlveralty of race. In the empire taxed
the ability of the Hapsburg. to "di
vide and rule." There were some to
say that even then the empire waa
shaky.
Twenty yeara ago yesterday Auatro
Hungary broke off relatione with
Serbia. The war came and then the
peace that for Austria waa perhapa
worse than war.
Vast Territory Lost.
The old empire Boasted more thsn
50,000,000 people and over 360,000
square miles of territory. When the
surgery of the peace treaties waa
finished, Austria, separated from a
dismembered Hungary, had less than
1,000,000 Inhabltanta, and little more
than 30,000 square miles.
Much of the land left her waa
mountainous, forested, poor for term
ing. Natural resources were compara
tively alender. Around this pitiful
remnant, auspicious neighbors began
erecting tariff walls.
And IP the midst sat the once
proud cap .tal. a head without a body.
The old empire, despite defects, had
provided free trade and a market for
Vlenna'a manufacture. Now the

No one could be found who wit

minutes before the questioning was

The next thing the agents knew
was a report that a man had leaped
to his death, the body striking the
court of the Rookery, historic Chi
cago office building.
Cowley said Homer Van Meter, ace

State Emergency Board Re
fuses to Make Up Defic
iency Caused by Failure
to Accept Salary Cuts
By CLAYTON V. BERSHAnD
(Associated Press Staff Writer.)
SALEM, July 26. JP) Circuit court
judges will be without salaries for
about three months, supreme court
Justices and their etaff. will be with
out salaries for about five weeks, while
15 people probably will be retired
from the payroll of the public utili
ties commissioner aa a result of the
rejections of the state emergency
board here yesterday.
The board flatly refused to allow
$38,000 for salsrles of 28 circuit
Judges end (6.000 for aupreme court
Justices, a. requested. The defici
ency waa the result of the state legis-
lature'a appropriation on the basis of
salary reductions of about 20 per cent,
but which the Judges generally re
fused to take In its entirety, some tak
ing but 16 per cent while other, did
not take any.
Staffs Took It.
wr.!le the leglslsture could not
compel these officials to take the re
duction, the latter being protected
by the constitution from accepting
lower aalartea during their terms of
office, many of them took reductions
voluntarily, while their stsffa aid
clerk, all took the .tatutory cuts.
But as a result the salary fund will
be depleted before the end of the
year.
The only recourse would be for an
appropriation by the legislature In
183S to pay back salaries. The emerg
ency board yeaterday declared It waa
not the duty of the board to make up
such deflclte from lta limited emerg
ency fund. Thirteen of the 28 cir
cuit Judges now are talcing full pay
while two supreme court Justice, are

A HOARD S. S. MALOLO,
July 25. The big thing you
hear nbout on the Faeific sida
of the world is the great expo
sition at Melbourne, Australia,
in October. It's the tourists'
next great roundup. It's where
that crpatrst of all air races is
to end. Fifty thousand dollar
prize from London to Mel
bourne, 12,000 miles. We have
over a dozen of our crack fliers
nnd over half the Rhins in it
will be American-made.
AVish the army and navy
would put a boy apiece in
there. Wiley Tost hopes to
make it in 50 hours, keeping
the championship in Oklahoma.
I would rIio love to be with
Wiley. I could be his navigator.
I have flown that very same
route ten thousand of the
twelve from Singapore to Lon
don on tho Dutch line. Hope
to see lots of aviatbn on this
trip.
