NAZI MEASURES

AGAINST HAPSBURGS

Received April 13, 5.5 p.m. LONDON, April 12. The Daily Telegraph's Vienna correspondent says that fresh Nazi measures against the Hapsburgs include the stoppage of £12,000 yearly which the former Austrian Government permitted Archduke Otto to draw from his Austrian estates. Other members of the Hapsburgs are no longer permitted to draw on their banking accounts. It is clear that the former imperial family is regarded only as a possible menace to the unity of Germany. Castle Rosenau, a beautiful estate in Lower Austria near the Czechoslovakian frontier, will be presented to Herr Hitler as a thank offering from the people of Austria.
