SULCESSFL RULE * SEENFORMIALS New President of Austria . Hailed by Politicians of All Parties. B the Associated Press. VIENNA, January 26.—Herr Wilhelm Miklas, newly elected President of Aus- | tria, still is untested in his high office, but politicians of all parties predict his #uccess. Their confidence is based on the ability he has shown for the la: ®ight years in one of the most storm: parliamentary posts in the world, that ©f president of the National Assembly. Himself an ardent C tian Soclal- Ist (member of Dr. S ma jority party), he, v s, was a model umpire ‘in’ the heated contro- versies which > in_the course of parliamen Nor was hi: & simple one. Assembly a scene of perfect €0 be transformed into a roa of excitcment and peril in a seconds of time. Accusations are answered with vectives are hurled indis- | nd, as often as not, a wild | rush by one party toward the benches | ©of the other may complete the scene. | No Task for Amateur. To decide who is in the right or who | %hurled the first epithet is no task for an amateur. Any obvious injustice on the part of the President in attributing blame might provoke the temper of the wronged side to fever and, per- haps, to acts of vig here Herr Miklas' tact and find variably sensed the quickest way which to calm the turbulent spirits. His Jjudgment was always correct and the *call to order” was administercd to the deputy or party who deserved if—or to both. Thus peace was generally re- stored and no new resentment was born of the incident But beyond his right-mindedness and | erspicacity in political mattters the | resident, as school teacher, had pre- | viously proved himself to possess a finely cultured mind, while, as chief cashier at the central post office, he had shown integrity and a gift for organi- wation. Lastly, during his short term as undersecretary of state for church Yites and worship, Herr Miklas proved himself thoroughly acquainted with the Teligious needs of the population. Of a Religious Family. ‘The new President comes of a deeply teligious family which has given many of its sons and daughters to the Roman Catholic Church. Of six sons and a daughter the President’s father made two sons teachers, two priests and the daughter a nun. Of his own 11 chil- dren, in his turn, President Miklas had 2 sons and 2 daughters enter the church. 4 Austria’s President is 56 years of age. Not d of much private means his family, despite its large size, has had to content itself with a four-room apartment which now has been sup- pFlnted by a spacious official residence. Unlike the President of the United States with his state grant of $75,000 and entertaining allowance of anothe 850,000 per year, the Austrian Presi dent has to make both ends meet on $10,000, an automobile and a few per- quisites of office. However, the head of Austria is expected not merely to personify with befitting dignity the sovereignty of his country but to be repared also to shoulder the burden of 1 g-:vellng from province to province, to declare open each new mile of railway or hydroelectric power station, college building or cattle show—and thus stim- ulate his co ionals to new efforts. _— MISTRIAL IS ORDERED.
