MONTANA STANDARD, BUTTE, SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 28, '1935. Ex- Empress Zita Is Woman of Hour as Otto Moves Toward Austria Throne No Reconciliation Ceaseless Intrigue for 17 Years Now Brings "Reward." By ROBERT M. LOW. NEW impending restoration to the Austrian throne of youthful Archduke Otto of Hapsburg, following his exile in Belgium, can be credited to his mother, the Iron-willed ex-Empress Zita of the Bourbon family, whose only men, it is said, are their women. For ever since the dcatli of her husband, the ex-Emperor Karl, who died in exile in 1922, following two abortive attempts to regain his throne, Zita has intrigued ceaselessly to put the crown of Austria on her son's head.

Circumstances have aided her; the present European crisis; the internal unrest in Austria; Mussolini's fear of nazi domination in a country next to his; the tottering structure of the League of Nations, and other political problems. Owes "AH" to Mother. But With all these causes to further his claim, the tall, handsome, scholarly Otto, now 22, never would have had the golden opportunity he has today without his clever mother. Since the fatal day yonrs ago the socialists gave the royal family the unhappy alternative of forever renouncing their leaving the country lor a lifetime exile, Otto has been groomed for the throne that Zita later swore to the dying Karl she would place their son upon. Today Otto says: "As soon as the frontiers are open to me, I shall return without bitterness.

I have suffered under the injustice done to our house, but neither my father, the late emperor; my mother nor myself has blamed the Austrian people." Would Be KcRcnt. Otto announced also that he planned to return as a regent, the regency to be in the name of his mother. Standing; erect, unlike most members of the Hapsburg family, as if he were proving to the world that he has inherited all the rights of kingship, Otto's attitude toward men is that of the Austrian army officers of the olden days: "Stand three paces from the body." For when a person starts to come close to him he instinctively draws away. Under his thick brown hair and meditative eyes he wears a small mustache whether to give him added dignity or just because he thinks it becoming, no one knows. His lips are Hapsburg extremely red.

Tall, and inclined to be a little on the stout side, he walks with a brisk and often nervous step. Yet he is sedate and collected. Though polite almost to a fault and very considerate of others, he cannot be called a "warm person." He, therefore, has few close friends outside the circle of his immediate family. Frantic Attempts by Mother. Born just a few months before the illied guns thundered out the end of the Hapsburg monarchy, Otto passed through the following decade blissfully unaware of the tragedy that had befallen his family.

Frantic 'attempts on the part of his mother and father to save the crumbling empire were unknown to the child Twice Zita forced her weakly husband to attempt to regain his throne with arms. And twice he failed: After the second unsuccessful "putsch," the former emperor, his and his 10-year-old child were put aboard a British warship sail- i Zita and her ion, Otto, in exile.

Landed on the Island of Madeira, Karl died a short limn later.

Striving to prevent Otto from developing a soft strain, a characteristic of hi.s falher, Zita constantly held up to his the glittering example of his grandfather, Emperor Franz Joseph, pointing out that he shook hands only with aristocrats. Called "Emperor." From the time of his tattler's death Otto was known to his family as "Emperor of Austria and Apostolic King of Hungary," and henceforth he was treated with due respect. For a time the family lived In a small fishing village on the northern coast of Spain. But Zita decided (his was no place in which a future king and emperor might properly be educated. So through the kindness of a group of Spanish nobles, they moved a large villa.

Just how much money Zita received from a few small only possessions Hungary, is not known. But the highest, estimate places her income at $40,000 a year, which is very little to keep up a court retinue and supply the many incidentals necessary to regaining an empire. But despite all the comparative poverty. Zita clung tenaciously to the historic Florentine diamond, for she was convinced that one day her son would wear it an an emblem of his regained throne. The diamond would have brought her a fortune.

The e.as- tle lies half-way between Brussels and Louvain, scat of the famous university, where Otto was duly enrolled. The young pretender to t-ho throne desired to become a physician hut after he had passed his pre-medical examinations, Zita realized that there had never been a physician- ruler in the history of promptly saw to It that he worked for a degree of political science, instead.

He was graduated a few years ago and just recently hr wrots a thesis on agriculture in the Tyrol which gained him a doctor's degree. Meanwhile. Zita had busy scurrying around Europe pushing her son's claim. A devout Catholic, she sought the aid of the pope. Then she tried to arrange for a marriage, between Otto and Princess Marie of Italy.

Then a comedy of often crops up in European almost spoiled Colonel Guslav Wolff, an ardent Austrian monarchist, made- (he rash statement if Otto were to marry Marie. Italy would have to return the south Tyrol to Austria. He also said in is many words that Otto thought fascism was all wrong. This brought down the wrath of Mussolini on his it took Zita a long time to explain to II Duce that Colonel Wolff had spoken without any authority and with no basis of truth. Although the applecart was almost upset, Mussolini finally changed his mind concerning Otto after the assassination of Dollfuss.

Today he i accepts (lie Hapsburgs rather than the uazis. Otto Accepts Fascism. Otto, in return, accepts fascism to a. certain extent. If lie returns to the throne, he will combine salient features of Mussolini's fascism and Roosevelt's new deal.

From II Ducc he will take the so-called "corporate state" idea of state-controlled economy. From President, Roosevelt, Otto will take ideas of balancing supply nnd demand, public works projects to assimilate unemployed, and hour nnd wage regulations. Otto lias not been given (lie traditional martial upbringing of the Hapsburg crown rather as a trained economist, and an expert on political science.
