 Nothing much occurred at first to indicate Hitler's future su- premacy. Then, on February 25, the reichstag burned. In that fire, the old Germany went up in flames.
 The burning of the reichstag was the torch that exploded the Nazi revolution. Many people here

 If communists burned the reich stag, it was the stupidest political action ever pcrpetrated. If the Nazis did 1t, it was little short of revolutionary genius.

 Radcliffe, a we'll known director and actor, was greatly surprised when, as he began his song, he heard tho voice of John White, the Lonesome Cowboy of the Death Valley program, chiming in.
 It turned out that. White hadn't rehearsed with the, cast and didn't know that Radcliffe could sing the tune, so what had been intended to be solo really came over the air as a duet!

|AII Opposition Is Being Crushed

N No revolution can stand still. It must either go forward - or backward. So the second wave of Hitler's advance had to start. It consisted of wiping out all opposition-even the most formal Ito the national-socialist govern ment.
 This was done by causing all political parties in the state. ex- cept the Nazis, to dissolve. In most cases, it involved the simple act of arresting party leaders, con- fscating party funds, ransacking party headquarters wherever found.
 Socialists and pacifists were the first to follow the communist chieftains to the brinaming concen- tratiofl camps scattered through out Germany, run on military lines, where middle-aged and eld- erly inmates are forced to do daily
 physical exercise" in some cases such activities as climbing 7-foot fences under the eye of armed |guards.
 Inmates, too, by the way, have the privileges of paying their own expenses. Why should the state so runs the Nazi doctrine--be put to the cost of maintaining its enemies in prison? In case a pris- oner has no money his expenses
 must be paid by some other pris- oner who has.
 There were some twenty odd parties scattered through the old
 German reichstag. Now, with the
 dissolution of the center party - the big Catholic bloc from the Rhineiand-there is but one. The nationalists, i. the Bayarian peo-I pIe's party,the populists, variousI other minor ones, have been dis solved, more or less forcibly.
 So have the private armies | the .'stahlhelm," the "Greenl Shirts" and the rest. These have| been, in some cases, incorporated
 into the Nazi ranks on probation. But on probation only. For Hit Ter, taking a leaf from Stalin<@
 book, is making 1t harder to be
 Nazi. The period of waiting is no
 set at two years.
