HAPSBURG PRINCES HAVE TO WORK

NONE OF THEM AFRAID OF BOURGEOIS LIFE

By F. C. M. JAHN

Vienna, Mar. 25. The uncles, cousins and other kin of Otto of Hapsburg, exiled heir to the thrones of Austria and Hungary, are having a hard time meeting bills from the butcher and baker, a United Press survey discloses.

Many of them, all Archdukes and Archduchesses of royal blood, were left in dire circumstances when the republican government of Austria confiscated the Hapsburg properties in 1919.

One became an insurance agent, another went to Hollywood, another became a small farmer, another a grain merchant, another an aviator, while the rest lived as best they could.
