LQEgLL THOMAS - SUNOCO - WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 29. 1934 MQUTAGU "Cheerio, therej I say — will you have a hot dog?“ 11*3 Lord Edward Montagu, second son of the ninth Duke of Manchester, who is speaking — selling hot dogs. His Lordship has opened a hot dog stand at the famous summer resort af Maidenhead on the Thames. He was going to enlist in the French Foreign Legion and presumably seek death on the battlefield. Some say it was unrequited love, isut he changed his mind, changed it about death on the battlefield, and maybe about love, and has gone in for hot dogs instead. And he*s making quite a success of it with his Oxford accent and his athletic frame, cultivated on the cricket fields. What cockney would »t buy a hot dog from a lord? "Hi si, ^rriet — *ave a 'ot dog from *18 Lordship." In his first day's business Lord. Edward cleared a tidy profit of four pounds and tu-pence. "And, dash it all, that’s better than the drench Foreingf Legion," he says. This latest oddity is just another illustration of interesting conditions in the Dukedom of Manchester, not too. moktagu - 2 much money, tout plenty of original ideas -- a dukedom in the shadows PRINCE And then over in London tonight in fashionable clubs or at a dowager’s party, they are saying 1*11 bet, that it*s just as well that Prince George ia getting married. His elder brother, the Prince of Wales has never shown any sign of hank­ ering for wedding bells, but Prince George is different. He has been reported at various time, engaged to Lady Alexandra Ourzon, to Grace Vanderbilt, and to the Princess Ingrid of Sweden. During a visit to Africa, he was seen so often with Lady Mary Thynne that another rumor of ramonce was started. Once he set off quite suddenly for China, and the explanation was that his royal parents had intervened just in time to prevent his marriage to Miss Poppy Baring, daughter of Sir Godfrey and Lady Baring of Cowes* And another time, he seemed fascinated by June Collyer of the movies whom he met i$ 1928* That did have a dangerous sound, the possibility of a film star annexed to the royal family of Great Britain. Anyway, the Prince seemed to have a roving eye — even as you and I. Quite in keeping with all of this romance is the story of how Prince George pais a visit to Prince Paul of Yugoslavia, PRINCE - 2 ° and there met hie boat's sister-in-law. Princess Maria of Greece* And affairs seem to have run in the usual way of house parties, Tk® two young people were seen jaunting around the countryside together. They went golfing, shooting, swimming, yes, and dancing. Prince George is said to be the best royal dancer in Europe. The Prince of Wales is renowned for shaking a shifty foot on the polished floor, but Prince George is said to be the real Caramba of the Carioca. The rumour in London is that the Prince proposed; and, the Princess accepted before the King and queen at Buckingham Palace knew anything about it. That's not the way royal marriages are supposed to be made, but maybe their Brittanic majesties thought it was indeed time for George to get married. It's true that Princess Marina is royalty in exile. She's the daughter of King Constantine of Greece, who was dethroned right after the war and a sister of the last king, who stepped out when Greece abolished the throne altogether. But then royalty in exi1e is better than no royalty at all, — with those movie actresses floating around* So the wedding has been announced fcrtesgue /I SL e^Js a lot of sprightly talk up in my Dutchess County neighborhood about a spectacular wedding that brings reminiscences.

In So a in it» s the reverse. It seems that the Sf)anish younr men take too much interest in' politics. So the government has issued a decree forbidding boys under sixteen +o be members of oolitical organizations. It also forbids y un^ men JfcH under twenty-three to do any active csmoaigniwithout the written consent of their parents. Thi s anti-youth movertent v&f 1 °cts the fact that fcki? in Sr>aln the young folks take their politics too violently. Four hundred and eighty have been in put in jail^in ?iadrid alone, since the first of the year^ for political offenses. AUSTRIA There has been enough trouble in Austria all that battling against the Socialists, .Nazis, and Communists, with­ out the government's forces beginning a scrap amoEig themselves* Hints of a more serious disturbance than ever come with the picture of fighting factions in the Heiawehr, — fighting, brandishing their guns, calling each other traitor! It has been known that their is dissent!on among the Heimwehr. Major Ameel, Minister of Defense, is the leader of the Vienna group. Some of the subordinate commanders are enemies of his. The anem of Prince Von Starhemberg, Vice Chancellor and high potentate of the Heimwehr is not mentioned * # in this latest news, but there have been frequent rumors that io the Prince and Major Fey are not exactly buddies. Anyway the various eranities came to a head at the Heimwehr barracks in Vienna with such a loud and violent disturbance that the police had to step in and take a detachment of the trouble makers off to jail. 1 ' ^ : 4- in ..is si sen. a* O ■. .Yi-'> ■ nd ni^ntaares^ taxi voras c.:ns iwa ' -s - - '3 * ^*-?rr- vo^ds. brokaai Phrases, frs*!»ssEts speech.

You will have a few minutes in which to make a last request.” It doesn't take any second sight to see that there are all sorts of undercurrents and cross-currents flowing beneath those latest changes in the German political line-up. Those changes have been foreshadowed, foretold, and in the car’d s* If there's any astonishment about the promotion of Goering to the job of Vice-Chancellor, it's only because this shift has been delayed so long. Day after day, right after the Storm Troop crisis, we had insistent rumours that Goering would take Colonel Von Papen's place as Vice-Chancelior. low at length it has happened. Von Papen having been transferred to Vienna as the German ambassador there. We were also given every reason to believe, at the time when Hitler was crushing the Storm Troops, that Rudolf Hess was slated to have larger powers in the tfazi regime.

Hess is an outstanding moderate- act with an extremist on one side, and a moderate on the other, but the balance seems to be inclined, a little heavier on the ^moderate side. While Goering, with his decorations and uniforms gets the more decorative jot>, the more majestic uniform, the mild and unassuming Hess, steps into the position of real, unadorned significance. Named as Hitler's successor, to take Der Fuehrer's place in case of any emregency. If Hitler should die, or toe atosent, kept away for any reason, Rudolf Hess will act as the leader -- and will outrank Goering in the councils of the Nazi party. take-it-easy- saf e- and - a an e-kind-of-Nazi Yes, it's a balancing I wonder how Goering likee that?
