CONDITIONS OF STREETS,
ROADS BRING COMPLAINT

BY Reader
The local authorities have been so
busy writing on the Public Works
program to start that they have
sadly neglected the public work on
our streets and county roads. Take
for instance the Post-rd from 21st
to 46th-sts. The proper name for
this road is the "Posthole Road"
Since your Courthouse attaches are
stirring up some county business, we
would be pleased if you could wake
up some of the easy-chair gentlemen.
who are being paid to look after
public road work. "Chuckhole"

hole" Johnny. The Chicago govern
ment study course ought to have
had some local application.
Is there an assistant mayor who
is in the employment of the street
car company? II not, why does the
company force these ordinary street
users to hop, skip and jump over the
roller coaster tracks, abandoned for
! the trolley buses? Who runs this
burg anyway? We know who draws
the pay checks. but what for, is an
other thing. The cops should re-
port the swimming pools in the
street to the Street Commissioner.
There is no need of gambling with
streets. We are taking plenty of
chances on snooted drivers, so let's
have smooth streets; just ordinary
public work, but let's have it, gentle
men of the mahogany.

Macmillan. $3.50.
The more impressive volume is II Was Hit
ler's Prisoner" because Of its gripping sincerity
Obviously truthful from start to finish. the book
is a compelling record of Lorant's 26 weeks in
a Nazi prison.
He was thrown into prison simply because
he happened to be the editor of a completely
mild, illustrated Catholic newspaper. Lorant
tells of his fellow prisoners and in telling Of
them reaches his greatest point. Some of his
descriptions Of his fellow prisoners rank as sheer
literature. One of his fellow prisoners was a
Lieut.. Krieger. who had supported Hitler in the
abortive Munich beer cellar putsch and was re-
paid by being tossed into prison.
He tells of a perfectly innocent old American
gentleman who was seized and placed behind
bars simply because he had been suspected of
housing a Communist. 1t seems that the old
gentleman had tired Of Americas prohibition
era and journeyed to Europe where there are
no rules and regulations and a man can get
good beer" The old gentleman had his fill of
German liberty in no time at all, it seems

Nazi salute and shouted at the top of his
voice: Hell Hitler!"
Gentle irony, We presume.
DRINCE LOEWENSTEIN'S book is concerned
more with the future Reich than with the
fall Of Hitler. The prince fails to set an exact
date for the abdcation (or sudden demise) of
the No. l Nazi, but he does intimate that it
won't be long.
The prince describes his coming German
government as a democratic republic with
| leader" All of the Nazi myths and symbols
will be wiped away and truth and justice will
reign in the stead of barbarism.
Loewenstein doesn't go enough into detail
| about his coming Reich Cor his economic
knowledge has been sadly neglected. and there
are some regrettabe gaps in the book.

Credulity, superstition, greed and
indifference were named by Miss
