 This re-interpretation is done by the party's political leaders rather than by theoreticians.
 Many of Hitlers Goebbels and Goering's public speeches are partly or entirely devoted to theory.
 Relits on Contrast
 In Hitlers theoretical utter ances, the emphasis lies upon the contrast between the individual" and the community" or people. "
 His tremendous self-assurance and his contempt of all adversa- ries mainly is explained by the fact that he regards himself as the only legitimate exponent of the people,; thus, critics and ad- versaries, according to him, are people who place their individu- ality above the collective interest of the people.

The legionnaires, having buried the dead and obliterated their graves, were left the absolute, un- disputed and uncontested monarchs of a once strong, but now slightly damaged military outpost.
 A grateful Madame la Repubh- que had ordained that they repair it. clean it, occupy it-and remain, in it for the next six months.
 So they repaired, cleaned. oc- cupied-and in general endeavored to make it as home unto them.
 As the days wore on, and the novelty of garrisoning desert outpost wore off they discovered that Fort L'Hirondel]e was indeed more hellish than honey. And more and more they were begin ming to like it less and less.

 And, if all this weren't reason enough for wishing to be some where else, they were constantly under the scrutiny of the all-see- ing eye of vinegar-tempered Ser geant Wehrtzenburger, who was gifted with whiplash for tongue-and whose sole aim in life was to keep that latter member employed.
 Oh, yes, this sergeant who spoke with more liberty of speech than fraternity or equality managed to give them q busy day. Indeed, several Iegionnaires found them. selves in cells for thinking it was too busy.
 At night, beset by aches. pains and blisters. the remaining strength they had they devoted to grum bling and hotly debating the le- gitimacy of the ancestors of the powers -that-be. The words they used in referring to these powers (and Sergeant WehrtzenburSer) need not be printed.

 For the past three years, Miss Fischer has been singing at >the Berlin Staatsoper. following "a years study in Germany on Il Juillard School Scholarship which she received in New York.
