This Changing World
Indications Seen That Nuzis MAY Have
Caused Explosion in Munich Beer Hall

| the German people lined up behind
Herr Hitler and his regime despite
the privations the man in the street
has to endure.
There have been distinct indica-
tions that in Germany, like in the
other countries which are at war,
the nerves of the people are getting
thinner. The Germans have to
suffer more than the allies; there
are more restrictions of all kinds
than in Britain and in France. The
alliance with the SovietS is difficult
to digest. The fervor of the people
has to be reused to frenzy again.
The hatred against the British must
be famed to new passion. An at
tempt to assassinate the Fuehrer
after he had just finished promising
the German people victory even if
the war had to last S years might
accomplish this.
II British or other agents had
wished to kill Hitler. they could have
done it with greater ease when he
visited the battleflelds or inspected
troops. Secret service agents, using
antl-Nazi Germans as they do, could
have disguised themselves in Ger
man uniforms and with a we'll
directed bomb they could have put
an end to Herr Hitler's life. No man
in the world can be guarded well
enough to shelter him from the
hand of an assassin. But no nation,
regardless of how bitterly it feels
toward its enemies, has actually
committed this kind of crime. The
British, like the French, do talk
about fighting Hitler and not the
German people But this is all
eyewash. The Paris and London
governments know only too well
that if Hitler disappeared today
Goering and other men would follow
the Fuehrer and could not adopt
policy different from the one in
augurated by Hitler.
The attempt on the German die
tator's life is bound to make the peo-
pie more fanatical in their hatred of
Britain, the arch-enemy of the
Reich. And that is all that was
wanted. 1t will increase the deter
mination of the Germans to fight
out this war to the bitter end.

Garner and Wheeler
Urged 10 Announce
For President
Both Shy at Action;
Wallace Reiterutes
Third-Term Stund

By the Associated Press.
Friends of Vice President Garner
and Senator Wheeler, Democrat, o1
Montana, were reported authorita-
lively today to have urged them to
make formal declarations of candi-
dacy for the next Democratic presi-
dental nomination.
Before leaving Washington last
week end for his Uvalde (Tex.) home,
Mr.. Garner was said to have de-
clined a yes or no" answer to
these suggestions. Some OF his as
sociates were described as believing
he should make a general declara-
ton Of his views in order to gain
the early support of minded
voters. Others, it was said, advised
him that his position on funda-
mental policies already was well
known and that nothing would be
gained from their public reiteration
Senator Wheeler was understood
to have decided to withhold com
ment on the presidential race. Au-
thoritative sources said he believed
any effort to step into the 194C
situation would be politically ILL
advised until after President Roose-
welt has made known whether he
would stand for third term.
Wallace Reiterates Stand.
Capital speculation on potential
Democratic candidates was stirred
anew by Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace's reiteration of his belief
that Mr.. Roosevelt should have an
other term.
Asked about his statement to that
effect in San Francisco, Secretary
Wallace told reporters yesterday.
Yes. said what 1 thought. !
haven't changed my mind"
Stephen Early, one of Mr.. Roose-
Velt's secretaries. said at the time
that Secretary Wallace should have
consulted the victim before speak
Ing. This was interpreted general
ly as an indication of White House
OlSpledSuIe.
Asked whether he had apologized
for his comment. Mr.. Wallace re-
piled that no apology had been
asked and none made. In response
to a query whether his statement
violated the so-called "politica
truce of the special session neu.
trality fight, the Secretary said that
was question for the White House
to answer.
MintOn Issues Statement.
Senator Norris, independent. o1
Nebraska reiterated his support OF
the President today, telling report
ers: "As nearly as I can see now
those in the country who are liberia
minded will be compelled to get be-
hind Mr.. Roosevelt for third term.
Senator Minton of Indiana, the
Democratic whip, authorized state
ment from his Midwestern home
that the special session fight over
neutrality has brought behind the
President the largest following ht
has had in many months"
Senator Minton contended there
was less discord in the Democratic
party now than at any time since
the 1886 election.

By CONSTANTINE BROWN.

Is it possible that the attempt to
assassinate Hitler last night in Mu-
Mich was of the same character as
the fire which destroyed the Reich
stag on February %, 1893?
1t is, of course, too early to form
definite opinion on this matter,
but there are certain facts which
lead to the speculation that the
famous Gestapo may not be stran-
gers to this spectacular attempt on
the Fuehrer's life.
Hitler and most of his prominent
collaborators left the beer hall as
soon as Der Fuehrer finished his
speech. And the address is reported
to have ended earlier than it had
been scheduled. AS a rule the Ger
man dictator talks longer than ex-
pected.
AS soon as the speech was finished
Hitler and his party left for Berlin
without mingling with the old-time
Nazls who had participated in the
putsch of 1923. This is also with
out precedent. In all these intimate
celebrations Hitler and his colleagues
sit down at the table, drink beer
and eat sausage, while the Nazis
parade by the table, shake hands
and exchange "reminiscences.
OF course this is a war year. But
there is no action on any front:
neither is there any important dip
lomatic negotiation in progress at
the present moment. There was no
particular reason why the Fuehrer
and all his associates in the gov
ernment should rush out of the hall
as soon as the speech was over.
X
All reports from Germany during
the last two weeks indicate that
there is growing restlessness in
the Reich at the present time. 1t
appears to be daWning on the Ger
man people that this is going to be
long war of nerves and economic
attrition. For the first time since
Hitler made himself responsible for
the destinies of the Reich the peo-
pie of Germany cannot see the end
of the stick.
The German people heretofore
have been fed on victories Dip
lomatic victories were succeeded by
military victories in Poland. These

WHAT, EXACTLY, IS ALL THIS TO US?

It is a hard boiled world. New ,er within the memory of living men have the nations so com pletely discarded the mask of principle to stare forth with the naked face of self-interest.
 Self interest has always gov erned the policies of nations That is inevitable. Bue we had come to hope that bare self-inter est, in the sense that the tiger is true to his self-interest when he springs on his helpless prey, had been subjected to at least some civilized restraint.
 Never before in history has bloodless conquest of whole na- tions been seen. The only reason it is seen now is that all the peo- ples who bled in the World War are still gun-shy. They still re-
 
 member, and they will not fight again except in defense of vital national interests, their very na- tional hves-and not even then unless there is chance to win. Ii is not for us to blame them.
 When will Britain fight? She will fight when she is convinced that German advances have reached point where another step will endanger the empire. But will she fight for abstract democracy?
 When will France fight? She will fight when a demand is made which, if granted, would mean the end of France as a great nation. But she will not light for abstract democracy.
 When will Russia fight? She will fight when an effort is made 10 take Russian territory whose loss would endanger the Soviet Union. But she will not fight for abstract democracy.
 These countries are realistic, as Germany is realistic. They are tlinkiDp in terms of Sta,.lx i,l . amate necessities. The United S'ates must learn to think that way, too, and not merely sway with every "crisis psychology. We fell, in terms of morality, but the other countries think, in cold fcms of advantage.

Roosevelt Student Enjoys
Visit to williamsburg

Duke of Gloucester street, has been
restored on its original foundations
It is interesting to note the extreme
care with which details of the fur
nishings and appearance of the
large building have been gathered.
Much of the information was OBJ
tanned from old inventories and
journals. Since 1894 the House of
Delegates and the Senate of the
Commonwealth of Virginia have
met in this building once a year
for sentiments sake. The structure
has many conference and committee
rooms besides the clerks Offices, the
general court and the House of
Burgesses.
We next went to the "Public
Gaol," built In 1701. Although small,
the cells did not appear uncomfort-
able until the guide explained that,
In the old days, they were so crowded
sometimes that some of the pris-
oners had to stand all night.
Next we visited the Raleigh Tav-
ern, erected in 1742. It has been fur
nished from descriptions found in
the inventories of early keepers. The
Ludwell-Paradise House has been re-
stored as an example of a typical
"gentleman's house." In it is ex-
hibited Mrs. John D. Rockefeller,
jr.'s, collection Of American folk art.
The Governors Palace, in our
opinion, is the most outstanding
building from the standpoint of both
architecture and furnishings. In its
day 1t was the symbol Of royal au-
thority in Virginia. After the United
States gained its independence the
palace was used as . military hos
pital. Besides the main building,
there are numerous smaller ones
housing the kitchen, laundry, salt
house. etc. The rooms in the palace
are beautifully furnished and the
gardens surrounding it are consid-
cred the finest example Of 18th CEN
tury English type gardens to be
found anywhere.

Thirteen big scrapbooks, filled
with pictures, comic drawings,
stories and cut-outs, have helped
make more bearable the stay Of
youngsters In Children's Hospital
and all because Of three girls, who
formed the Good Deed Club.
Martha Alexander, II, and Shir-
ley and Sheila Young, 13-year- old
twins, are the members Of the club,
which has as its primary purpose
the doing Of at least one good deed
of major proportions every month.
Using the basement recreation
rooms Of their homes. the girls
worked hard to complete the copies
of their little book which they have
named my Companion"
Martha, who lives at 500 Maple
Ridge road, Bethesda, Md, wrote
the stories In the book and helped
out in other phases, while Sheila
drew pictures for the readers to
color and Shirley outlined paper
dolls to cut out and drew the color
full covers. The books also contained
STEP step drawing lessons and at
the front the legend, THE Three
Members of the Good Deed Club
Wish That You Will Enjoy These
Books Immensely"
When the books were finished the
girls took them to the hospital and
asked that they be given to the
youngsters there. Just before school
started they completed 10 more
books, and these they plan to take
to the children at the Glenn Dale
Sanitarium.
The girls don't know exactly whose
idea 1t was to start the club, but
they do know they're very glad they
did organize.
Besides supplying hours of good
cheer to unfortunate children"
Sheila said, I'VE also have obtained
many hours of fun and JOY"
Martha is president of the club
right now, Shirley is secretary and
Sheila treasurer. They take turns
occupying the various Offices.
They meet whenever they can,
but usually manage to get together
at least once a week Dues are
| cents a week. The latter part of
this month they plan to give show
to raise money for their work. Ten
tative plans call for two plays and
a magician's performance. All three
of the girls are collaborating on the
writing of one of the plays, which is
to be called Priscilla" The show
probably will be given either at
Martha's home or at the twins home

Martha has a friend in Missouri
who has formed similar club there
and the girls feel that through theil
friendships with youngsters in other
States there is possibility Of the

We noticed that each time We
would give one of them a nut, he
would turn 1t over and over, and
examine it closely. If the nut was
cracked. he would eat it, but If not,
he would run off and bury it. Now
if We want to watch them eat. we
always crack the nut before giving
it to them.
We also noticed they were burying
the nuts for winter. We watched
closely and found that they were
burying acorns. too. Mother said the
place soon would be filled with trees
planted by them, but we learned
later they were too wise for that.
We saw that before burying the
acorns they first bit the sprout out.
We have watched them do this many
times, and wondered how they had
learned it.
We could not understand how they
would be able to find them later, but
even when the ground was covered
with snow we would see them dig
right straight down to place where
one had been put by them many
months before, and take it back to
their nest in the tree.
