room would not be out Of place in the
palace Of an Italian soldier OF fortune
Of the Middle Ages.
Goring spent some of his youth IN
Castle Veldenstein near Nuremberg and
there he let his imagination run riot
with the heroic deeds Of medieval knight
errants. In his life castles have played
an important role. It was near castle
transformed into field hospital, that
he landed in a miraculous escape dur
ing the war, after his body and his craft
had been riddled by scores OF bullets.
He was decorated for this exploit, which
almost cost his life.
This was not the end Of his uncom-
mon experiences with castles. After the
armistice he left Germany and found
work with the swedish airways COM
pany, the Svenska Lufttraflk, in Stock
holm. Overtaken by q blizzard one day,
he was buffeted out of his regular route
and had to make an emergency land
ing. He happened to come down in the
vicinity as Castle Rockeltad, the coun-
try house Of Count RoSen. Invited to
the house, he made the acquaintance OF
Freiin Karin Won Fock, sister in law OF
the master Of the castle, and this act
Of his life had a happy ending IN the
village church, where they were married.
Goring's young wife was Nord1c
goddess, a woman of beauty and charm.
But she contracted lung trouble and
they lived a retired life in an Alpine
hut. He had to find action and means
Of livelihood. however, and SO he went
to Munich. the headquarters Of former
army officers who were still looking for
places in the sun. He was fascinated
by Hitler's eloquence and joined the
National Socialist movement.
Next We see the two men, Hitler and
Goring marching In the streets Of
Munich on the first and last lap Of what
was to have been their march on Berlin
in November, 1923-the famous beer
hall putsch," which was to have ended
in Hitler's assuming the dictatorship.
They had not gone more than mile
when the Reichswehr fired q volley.
Goring fell. seriously wounded. but was
whisked out Of sight by his comrades.
Spirited Into Austria.
A warrant was issued for Goring's
arrest when physicians were not yet
sure whether he would live or die. Still
in hiding, he recovered and with the
help of the underground railway" oper-
ated by the Htlerites he was taken
across the mountains into Austria,
where political refugees were thought
to be secure. But the government Of
Vienna, seeing the danger of giving a
haven to so many anti-republicans, de-
cided to extradite Goring. When word
OF this decision had reached officials Of
the underground railway" they took
him to Italy and the government of II
Duce made no fuss about his stay.
Four years later, after the republic

turned to Germany and he was among
the handful Of Hitlerite deputies to be
sent to the Reichstag. He became Hit
ler's personal representative In Berlin
after the Nazi chieftain had extended
his activity to Prussia.
Since Gor1ng Is Germany's best army
pilot. nothing was more natural than
that he should be placed in charge of
training Nad flying corps. Hitler
designated him as the president Of the
Reichstag after the spectacular elec-
toral gains Of the party last year
From the presidential chair Goring led
the Nazi attacks on the government
He helped the Communists get in a
motion Of non-confldence before the
Papen government could read the dis
solution DEGREES of President Won Hin
denburg. Germany had a good laugh
at the Papen cabinet
Characteristic of Goring's rough
shod manner is the rebuke he admin
istered the other day to a Swedish
newspaper for attacking Chancellor
Hitler. In this rebuke there was an
open threat which. coming from q
member of the Reich government. was
strongly resented by Sweden. 1t was
now the turn Of the anti-Nazis to have
a quiet chuckle. rejecting that II Cor
ing was going to punish with his own
hands all foreign attacks on his idol,
he would have to live up to his own
heroic view of himself and prove him

Crusades for World Fascism.
Goring IS now the crusader Of
