Adolf Hitler recently celebrated his barth
day. On that occasion he said:
"On this day look back with pride and
joy upon the the years that lie behind u.s..
Our miraculous resurrection fills me with
deep gratitude toward all those who, by
their faithful CO operation, have made pos
slble my successful leadership of the nation
....By reason of this rehabilitation of our
people also for others that peace upon
which so much happiness and prosperity
depend"
PARADE. Then they all went out to
review a sample parade of the new Ger
man Amy, Adolf Hitler's gift to the Ger
man people.
While the band played DeutchlGnd uber
ALLeS and mounted kettledrummers per
formed additional feats of skill, $50 light
whippet tanks camoflaged ready for action
rolled down Inter den Linden and the
Charlottenburger Cnaussee Behind came
yellow and grtea armored cars rilled with
riflemen; amored motorcycles; machine
gun companies; anti-aircraft batteries with
searchlights and direction finders motoriz
ed heavy artillery and, to show that the
Army is also ready for the swamps of
Eastern Europe, an equal number of
horse-drawn heavy artillery. Finally came
the dull feld-greY tide of marching men,
one division (1200O) of infantry, their
buttons not polished as for parade, but
lampblacked, as for action.
Berlin Nazis sang an unofficial little
tune:
To-Day aOs own Germany
And tomorrow the aOhOLe world.
Speaking next day at the new aviation
sdhool in suburban Gatow, General Goo
ing made a bad break by referring to
Adolf Hitler as "Sumpreme War Lord"
Since such title still has sinister, Kai-
serish smell in international noses, Minis
ter of Propaganda Goebbels promptly
scotched it.
Last week Adolf Hitler went on to take
strategic advantage of other mems ann

Bob Grimm, normally Columbus

heavyweight division when the boxing
harristers battle Brooklyn College Fri
day night at Turner's Arena.
The shift will be necessitated by the
illness of Morris Wolf, regular heavy
weight, who now is nursing a heavy
cold.
Paul Desch, inactive due to injury
when his mates pounded out AZ to
