making its strongest film propa-
ganda bid in a moving picture
chronicling the career of Horst
Wnesel, an early victim of the
Communist National socialist strug-
gle. who since has been elevated to
q rank approaching that Of a
national hero. es
AT Johannistal, near Berlin, the
resources of a large studio are be-
ing used to produce the film. Two
or three hundred good Nazi SYM
pathizers, for Is marks u day, have
transformed themselves into Com
.munists for purposes of the pro-
duction.
/. The high point of the film will
be the re-enactment of one of the
earliest clashes between the two
parties, in which Vessel and q
handful Of comrades fought an
overwhelming number of Com
munists. The cafe in which the
fighting occurred has been repor-
duced at the studio.
The NaZi party has used the
films to spread its doctrines. News
reels regularly show government
officials in short speeches to the
public. Popular demonstrations
always are featured.

President Roosevelt has learned

is sincere and warm in his manner,
Mr.. Broun writes in McCalls Mag

air, leadership has passed COM

question that President Franklin

authority and the prestige of his

ficiency he tops them all. His is by
