 Outbreaks Understated
 The two witnesses agreed that published accounts of anti-Semitic and other outbreaks in Germany had been "understated rather than exaggerated.
 Tt would be a great mistake to call this just Jewish problem or just a Catholic problem" LaFol- lette told the committee. November 10 (first day of last falls anti-Sem- tic disorders in Germany produced a lasting and terrible effect on the population, not only because of open brutality but because the youth of the country was used primarily in carrying out these acts.
 "If you could have a secret, free and untrammeled vote in Germany, probably 75 per cent of the people would be against the present re- gime."

 MOSCOW, May ?. = Further de- velopments concerning the produc- tion of synthetic rubber in the U. s. s. R. are to be accelerated by the Soviet Government.
 The growing demand for rubber has arisen from the rapid expansion of the Soviet automobile industry, which, started under the first five year plan in 1929, is now turning out between 750 and 800 cars daily.
 On the basis of methods elabo- rated by Soviet scientists, the pro- duction of synthetic rubber has been organized on a large scale throughout Soviet territory.

Americans than that of silencing the
warmongers, the bellicose intellec-
tual patriots, who are the conscious
or unconscious allies Of foreign
proselytizers." according to Gervasi.
Men do not willingly die unless
they are fanatics, Gervasi says. So
they must be keyed up to the point
of fanaticism in the conviction that
there is a cause worth dying for.
The task Of establishing such a cause
and arousing mob enthusiasm is the
work of skilled propaganda experts.
This process is called emotional
conditioning" and it has already
been begun in the United States.
The cause common to the United
States, Great Britain and France is

Senator Gerald P. Nye recently read
into the Congressional Record ex.

Englishman, Sidney Rogerson. in
which a cold-blooded plan to enlist
the emotions, man and money power
of the United States in another cru.
sade to save democracy is unfolded.
The fact that all these foreign
types Of propaganda are really at
work in America, is demonstrated
by the state of mind Of the Ameri.
can people, Gervasi says. He finds
that widely diffused war psychosis
and a deeply rooted social unrest on
which it feeds. predominant in the
mental attitude of the country.

 Accompanied to the meeting by Attorney Chase Kimball. for whom he sought the boards attention to an opinion on the matter, the con- troller eventually was confronted with opinions of both MT.

 Goss Present
 Commissioner John H. Goss, re- turned from the south and whose return was awaited before the board took action on the generally ap- proved plan to obtain an audit of the tax collectors accounts and rec ords over nine years. explained to the controller that his concern in the matter was laudable as a mem- Der of the board of finance: but that his attempt. for the unexplor- ed cause. to control the matter of the audit was without jurisdiction of his office, so far as board mem bers other than the controller in-

 The controller was advised to call upon the board for approval of ad- ditional appropriation to undertake more than "a very limited audit" of departments, as tn echarter specifi- cally provides in the same section, every six months.
 Back Checkup
 Matter of the audit of the tax col- lector's accounts for past years was voted referred to Griffenhagen & Associates, due here for the city audit shortly. for fixing of price and so forth. Meanwhile, the corpora tion counsel's opinion on the boards rights in the matter will be ob- tained.
 KimbaIl Comments
 Mir. Kimball, in part of his brief commentary for the controller, said that he thought the charter section gave e controller some authority in the matter of audits. The board thanked him for his interest.
