"One of the most appealing qualities of the paintings, by the group whom we have presented, is the intimacy of the atmosphere which they create," writes Dr. Karl Lilienke. "The artist's ability to blend the Dutch painter has solved better perhaps than any other artist is that of light, the modesty of the subject, the sense of realism blended to the play of light and shadow makes of these canvases excellent pictures as well as truly fine art."

Dengler Says Austrian Culture Must Be Kept

It is too precious to be destroyed," said Jared Browne, an American activist. "Why the World needs the Austrian People" in Central Administration auditorium this morning.
'Vienna Has More Talen Than Any Other One World City'
Dr. Dengler traced Austrian culture from the time that Vienna was a Roman fortification on the northern frontier and the center of Roman trade. He excavated the remains of the bishopric by the Germans and Slaves, the destruction of Roman culture, the invasion and settling of the Bavarians in Austria and Vienna. Then it was adapted by Dr. Dengler to a rebellion against the East and he made it a cultural as well as a military center.
"Vienna was developed to be the center of German civilization, the center of a magnificent and glorious empire by the reign and residence of the House of Hapsburg," said Dr. Dengler. "Our geographical position was advanced in making it a center of the nation's social, intellectual, and military culture."
Dr. Dengler spoke of the great artist and composers who have died in obscurity and later become known to the whole world. Mozart, Schubert, Beethoven, all died unrecognized by their countrymen. Mozart's grave did even bear his name. Beethoven would remember the same but for his English friends.
Kidnapers Gag Girl in Car
"Vienna contains more talent than any other one city in the world. And I think the world needs these people," he said. "The city is time now, it is forgotten. But it is the soil of talents and genius. And, don't forget that while there is a bad time in Vienna, its growth is unrestrained and it excels. Its flourishing 90 per cent of the world's music today."

Regents Have Full Authority
Regents have Felt Affection with the administrative offices here today that while salaries of state elective officers might not be reduced, that the members of the school district may be required to act on the board of regents, and this board, acting on instructions from the governor, may readjust salaries, even though legislative appropriations have been taken.
