(NY11-Jan. 29) Vienna--Chancellor and Fuehrer Now--A vital figure in world politics, Chancellor Adolf Hitler of Germany, acclaimed as "Der Fuehrer," is shown as he addressed throngs here last spring, shaking his fist in triumph and defiance as he proclaimed the annexation of Austria to Germany and started the march of events that led to the Peace of Munich. Today, while an anxious world waited, he shaped a speech to the Reichstag, to be delivered tomorrow. (See wire stories and NY10)
