in Room 1923 at II Battery Place,
the address of the German Con-
sulate General. Room 1923 was
rented by a representative of the
German Consul General. The rent
paid was nominal and at least in
one instasce was paid in cash by
Hitler's official For six weeks
prior to the renting of this room
Emerson had desk space with the
German Consulate General.

paper published in this country.

Jews, carried an advertisement
stating that the editor of this pap
er made his headquarters in Ener-
sons room. This was the first in
dication, after Hitler came to
power. that Emerson had arrived
in this country to hasdle anti
Semitic and fascist propaganda
for the Nazis.
For many years Emerson had
wandered about the globe covering
assignments for newspapers and
magazises and always Dragging
about his Americanism and "pat-
riotism." One of his great boasts
was that he was with Roosevelt's
Rough Riders during the Spanish
American War; what he never
told was that Roosevelt brought
him back from Cuba in irons

There has been latent anti-sem-
itism in this country but today it
is open, and growing rapidly as
the fascist forces become more
bold. Generally this hate is vague
ly attributed to Nazi agents for
only since Hitler came into power
has it developed here. But even
the vast majority of those spread
ing the "hate the Jew creed rave
no exact idea of where it is coming
from. Normally sensible Ameri-
cans, completely bewildered by
the increasing economic crisis in
this country, dazed by events they
cannot understand, have lent their
ears to the cry that the Jew is
responsible for this country's as
we'll as the worlds ills.
In this series I shall show the
astounding activities behind this
far-flung anti-semitic propaganda
I shall show that it reaches into
and emanates from high offices
in che United States Government,
business houses, universities city
and state governments. he coun-
try is swept with anti-semitic and
fascist propaganda and behind
this deluge stalk almost fiction
like mysterious characters, secret
foreign and American agents,
spies, diplomatic officers, terror
lists, gun-women,- an almost in
credible array of men and women
plotting, smuggling, spying, to
weave the web of hate against the
Jew and prepare the country foI
Fascism.
In the course of this series ]
shall prove:
THAT Americans, acting as
Nazi agents, some of them in high
Government positions, are among
the secret directors of anti-semitic
propaganda.
2-That American patriotic
organizations to which rich Jew,
contribute, are using this money
for anti-semitic propaganda.
3-That much of this anti-sem.
ltic and fascist propaganda /,

THAT Nazi uniforms are

Was the long-haired mammoth a
contemporary OF man in North
America?
One of the most interesting bits Of
evidence supporting the affirmative of
this much debated question is the
Genesis" story of the Naskapi Indians
of Labrador, just reported by DR..
William D. Strong, Smithsonian Insti-
tuition anthropologist.
The folk hero of the tribe appears
to have slain an elephant-like crea-
ture. That the pachyderm character
istics Of KatcheetohhuskW may con-
stitute a borrowing" from European
sources or an establishment inspired
by some circus elephant cannot en-
tirely be disproved. DR.. Strong points
out, however, that this possibility Is
minimized by the extremely conserva-
tive character of the Naskapi, tribe
of Algonquian caribou hunters, and
by their isolated habitat, which never
has been visited by animal shows.
Following Is the legend as obtained
by DR.. Strong:
Long ago there was an old man,
his wife, small baby, and daughter
The old man told his wife to come out
with him and cut birch for ladies. A
huge monster, Katcheetohhuskw, heard
them chopping wood and came and
killed them both. He trampled and
ate the bodies He would not touch
the baby, however.
Baby Is Survivor.
For long time the daughter cried
alone in her tent. Then, following
her parents tracks, she came to where
they had been killed. She found the
baby, cleaned it with moss, and put 1t
in a wooden cup to keep warm. The
baby grew rapidly and played about.
She gave him a wooden bow but he
stretched and broke it. Then she
made him one of deer ribs but he
broke this also. He went out and cut
a dry juniper, from which he made

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, June 15.-
The Tennessee Valley Authority yes
terday was made defendant in two
suits in United States District Court
to curb its activity in electrification oi

had exceeded authority granted it and
entered competition with private busi-
ness.
The suit, brought in the names OF
a score of ice manufacturers and near
" a score of coal producers, also
named the Alabama Power Co. de-
fendant to prevent completion OF a
contract with the authority for sale

plaintiffs, lis the plan Of the au-
thority to build hydro-electric plants

the authority program) and enter into
a vast utility program in order to
show up the weakness Of State regu-
lated utility operation.

"The plaintiffs make use of DR.. A.
E. Morgan'S admission that only SlO,-
100000 of the huge program Is refer
able to nitrate and fertilizer produc-

is regarded by the plaintiffs as an ad-
mission thai approximately $3.50 900,

The suits asked temporary inJunc-
tions to restrain the T. V. A., the
Electric Home and Farm Authority
and the Alabama Power Co. from the
promotion of electric appliances and
motors, and the former from con-
structing additional hydro-electric
plants.

what seemed to be small hills moving
about. Upon closer scrutiny he saw
that these masses really were the
backs of great, animals with long
teeth, so huge that when they lay
down they could not get up.
Among both the Ojibwa and the
Iroquois there was q tradition Of a
monster animal that once roamed the
forests, SO strong 1t was able to crush
trees that stood in its path. Among
the Algonquins there was a great
moose that had a fifth leg between
his shoulders with which he used to
prepare his bed.

tradition among the Eastern Indians
that in the unexplored forest depths
north of Lake ontario dwelt huge
animals which early travellers asso-

'Djakabish cut the body into diff

DR.. Strong's informants described
Katcheetohhuskw as a monster with
a long nose with which he knocked
people down. One Indian who had
seen pictures of a modern elephant
said that it corresponded fairly close
ly to the traditional idea of the
mythical monster.
