Newspaper Page TextM EDFOTtD MATT- TRIBUTE. MEDFORD. OREGON". FRTDAT. JULY 9. 1937. PAGE SEVEN Call to Throne Waited by Colorless Young Hapsburg (Editor's Note: In ft moated 13th century castle. 1? miles from Brussels, ft 24 -year -old Hapsburg Is preparing rot t&e day when he may be csiled to the Austrian throne. An Associated Press writer Tlslted him and In the following story gives n Intimate picture of .a young men with a royal mission). By LOt'IS MATZHOLD . ! BTEBNOCKERZERL, Belgium, July 0. (AP) The dignity end reserve which endear Otto Van Hapsburg to Austrian legitimists probably would make him appear a stiff, over-serious youth In the United States. The personable 24-year-old preten der to the Austrian throne probably wouldn't be a flashing sensation In a group of Americans of his own age. He might be popular. In a quiet sort of way, but one would not expect him to be a leader In racy society. He drives a fast car but only to get somewhere to do something of importance. Distinctly Dry . He drinks nothing alcoholic. He never has been In a nightclub and believes, from what he has heard, that such a place must be rather boring. He participates In the customary porta but does not exceU in any. The chief barrier between Otto and the world, besides Steenockeraeel castle's moat, is Count Helnrlch Degenfeld, 60, his educator and com panion. It seems contrary to some Haps burg notion of propriety for the em peror to carry a watch or pocket money. So when Otto wants to know the time be asks Degenfeld. When Otto wants to buy cigarettes, Degenfeld digs down for the cash. The count threw Interesting light on the making of a would-be mon arch. Decides Own Policies "I cannot lead him any more." the count confessed. "I used to be his schoolmaster, but now he Is my mas ter. Of course, be values my opin ions, but In matters of policy he makes bis own decisions. It has been my privilege to watch a schoolboy become an emperor." More than 1.600 Austrian commu nities have honored the pretender with honorary citizenship a demon stration which legitimist leaders be lieve "amounts to a plebiscite m which Austria emphatically urges the return of its kaiser." - Otto like his granduncle, the for mer Emperor Franz Joser feels him self divinely obligated to serve his empire. He prays devoutly, fears God, Is an earnest Catholic. When he attended the University of Lou vain, where be won his doctor ate, he drove a second hand auto mobile. He didn't mind making ad justments on the cranky old motor; but. It Is related, he would not re move his coat when he had to crawl under the machine.

As the buying pace at some of these was the most accelerated since early spring, the Increase varied from 3 to 8 percent. "Spending of the soldiers' bonus money at this time last year, how ever, prevented the rise in the est! mated volume of retail distribution over the corresponding 1036 week from exceeding 13 to 22 percent. "With current expansion of con sumer purchases dispelling anxiety regarding season-end carryover, some retailers have set fall budgets up 10 to 15 percent from last year's."
