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.

RETAIL TRADING
AT FASTER PACE
HEW YORK, July 0. (fl Most Al
visions of retail trade hit a faster
pace this week, Dun fc Bradstreet
reported today.
Stressing, the retail turnover of
seasonal goods, the review said
"none of the leading centers of dis
tribution failed to surpass thelf to
tals for the week preceding. 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."
