days OF the annual Nuremberg party
convention in early September he has
been known to take OF in a plane for
nearby Bayreuth, to spend the after
noon and evening chatting with
statuesque. blond, blue-eyed, long
haired. smiling Frau Winifred and her
robust children about Wagner and his
immortal work. He never stops at
hotel, but is always the house guest Of
the Wagner family during the Bay
reuth festival.
Several times a year Frau Winifred
is summoned to Berlin for consulta-
ton on musical and operate matters.
Her influence, like that Of Gerdy
Troost and Albert Speer, is much
greater than is generally imagined
- But Hitler's life im't all art and de-
votion to the muses.. His duties as
statesman are exacting
Unknown to the public, batting
Julius Streicher, district leader for
Bavarian Franconia Of which historic
Nuremberg is the center, has much
more to do with Adolf Hitler's policies
than is generally known.
The story is current in Berlin that
Germany's high-collared Reichsbank
president, Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, when
still minister of economics, complained
one day to his friends, When I, cab
net minister, want to see my Chan
cellor, must wait days and weeks. No
matter where julius Streicher may be,
he can take off the receiver and be
connected Immediately"
Streicher's Proposals Approved.
However wild" Julius Streicher
may seem in his weekly antisemitic
paper, the Stormer his proposals
are, in the last analysis, always ap-
proved by the Fuehrer. When other
Nazis were content to leave the Jew
undisturbed In business. Streicher
urged his removal. Streicher won. When
others drew the anti-Semitic line at
things religious, Sueicher demanded
the razing to the ground of syna-
gogues. Those of Munich and Nur-
emberg have already been demolished.

Julius Streicher what he thought Of
him when, on his 50th birthday ami
versary last year, he appeared in
Nuremberg unannounced to congratu-
late this tried and trusted co-worker
in person.
Occasionally in the limelight, yet
on the whole leading a retiring life,
is Hitler's personal press agent Of
many years standing, slim, winsome,
conciliatory DR.. Otto Dietrich, whom
his chief recently promoted to states
secretary in the propaganda ministry
in charge of press matters.
Dietrich is one Of the few men in
Germany who can enter Hitler's study
unannounced. He probably knows
the innermost thoughts Of Hitler
better than any man living. Gentle
spoken, unobstrusive, unassuming, he
has just the sort Of quieting influence
upon his high-strung boss that Is
needed in times OF great stress.

the crystal world into rose, then
