Dollfuss

In every part of Austria last week statues of the late Engelbert Dollfuss, who created at Vienna his country's Christian Corporative State (TIME, May 14, 1934), were thrown down and broken up with sledgehammers by Nazis.

They burst into the Chancellery at Vienna, found the still-stained yellow sofa upon which Chancellor Dollfuss slowly bled to death after Nazi assassins had pumped him full of lead (TIME, Aug. 6, 1934), draped it triumphantly last week with the Nazi swastika flag.

Frau Dollfuss, the widow of the murdered Chancellor, while loyal French friends kept saying she had escaped northward to Czechoslovakia under the personal escort of the French Minister, actually escaped southward to Hungary, reached Budapest in safety.
