COEBBELS LASHES
 AT UNITED STATES
Nazi Propaganda Minister Bitter; GOering's Power
 Believed Growing

Berlin, Jan 21.-(UP).-Propa- ganda Minister Paul Joseph Goeb- bels lashed out against the United States today while Nazis forecast that additional power would be cen- tered in Field Marshal Hermann Goering, "Nazi No. g." as the result of the dismissal of Dr. Hjalmar Schacht as head of the Reichbank.
 Resuming his writing after an ill., ness ascribed officially to intestinal influenza, Goebbels charged:
 Practically the entire press, prac- tically the entire radio industry end practically the entire film industry in the United States today is in the service of international anti-Ger- man indictment"
 He wouno up his denunciation, which was published in today's Voel- kischer Beobachter, official Nazi party organ, with an implicit warn- ing against economic penalties against dictator nations such as those mentioned in the United States.
 Every measure of economic force has two sides," he wrote. Tt strikes not only him against whom it is di- rected but also him who used it"
 What if any was the connection between Goebbels' article ard the appointment of Walther Funk, for merly state secretary in Goebbels' ministry, to succeed Schacht, was not apparent. Funk, in an article published yesterday, said that the United States would lose, Germany as a customer because of anti-Ger- man attacks.
 It was as yet uncertain just what the dismissal of the veteran Schacht would mean to German economy. But most Nazis agreed that it was likely to mean a further consolida- tion of power in the hands of Field Marshal Goering, aviation minister and Funk's chief as dictator of the four-year plan of economic self-suf- ficiency. Goering has become in- creasingly outstanding among the men immediately under Hitler. Be- fore Schacht's dismissal there were rumors of impending changes in the government, and it was forecast that Goering might be made vice chancel- Tor or war minister, perhaps both. As for Goebbels, it has been reported that he may lose his propaganda ministry and receive another less prominent post.
