Milwaukee Germans Counter Nazi Bund With AmericaniSnl
Swastika Is
 Replaced By Stars, Stripes
BY PAUL RINGLER NEA Special Correspondent

Milwaukee, Wis, May 29-- Amer icanism is forging far ahead of Nazism among the great mass of Germans in Milwaukee, city which only seven months ago was listed as the stronghold of the German American Volksbund. Today the bund has lost its dely-publicized summer camp here; control of a German radio hour" has passed into hands of the opposition. its membership has been cut in half. Five years ago Bernhard Hof- mann, leader of the city's anti- Ebund movement, and George Fro- boese, "der fuehrer" of Milwaukee's bund and midwest leader of the na- tional bund, were close friends. Now this companionship has turned into hate.
 Last fall, a witness before the Dies committee labeled Milwau- kee as bund hotbed. Now that statement would be untrue - and behind the transition is dramatic story.
 BUND BEGAN
 IN 1884
 The bund started in Milwaukee in 1894 as the Friends of the New Ger many. It held its meetings in tav- erns. There were reports that its members wore Nazi uniforms, ex- changed Nal salutes, and drilled under the SWaStika. Forboese, design engineer in one of the city's industrial plants, made a trip to Germany, returned full of enthusiasm for the Hitler Reich, be- came 8 leader. Hofmann, his friend was not interested; he was busy trying to weld the many scattered German-American groups into a central organization to be known as the Wisconsin Federation of Ger man-American societies.
 In 1936, the upstart pro-Nazi group tried to gain control of the new Wisconsin Federation and one of its strongest units, the dignified Steuben society. Both attempts were unsuccessful.
 The next year newspapermen revealed an inside view into Camp Hindenburg, wooded spot along the Milwaukee river, 20 miles north of the city. They told how the Nazi salute was being exchanged, how youths marched to German commands and flags of the Hitler youth flew over the camp.
 The bund held its first public meeting at the city auditorium in 1888. Two hundred men at- tended in natty gray uniforms. A number of them stood around the room with arms folded and hands gloved = the "order guards" When anti-bundsmen started demon- stration. the "order guards" were on them before police arrived and several of the anti-bundsmen were injured.

tours are popular; there are four
times as many applicants as can be
accommodated. Each successful ap-
plicant must himself earn the money
for the trip. Their resourcefulness
in raising the necessary cash might

home folks. No letter, no dinner.
Minor Problems.
Like all enterprises that deal with
the public, the tourist camp is not
without its problems. But they seem
to be for the most part minor ones.
Gusts are surprisingly well-be-
haved, says Mr.. Knode. The only
real discipline problem is presented
by Washington boys who like to
amble down the well-kept camp
town streets to give the girls from
the Hinterlands break. Drinking
never has been problem. Not once,
in his Is years service, has Sergt.
Porter seen a drunk person around
the camp. And he is on night duty,
! too!
The rule that guests are limited
to a two-week stay at the camp is
strictly enforced, which lessons the
likelihood of having to deal with
homeless wanderers who have no
place to go and are likely to be left
on camp officials hands when their
meager funds give out. Occasionally
some one gets stuck in camp without
funds. In that case, camp officials
turn the INDECENT guests over to the

the old-school belief that 1t was
woman's function in life to bring
man up to her standard of cleanli-
ness and neatness. But Just as an
awakening tourist conscience is now
responsible for the removal of OBJ
jectionable roadside billboards, it is
at least possible that tourist CAM
pers will eventually come of age and
evolve social standards comparable
to those of more staid and stationary
communities.
The surprising thing is that in a
business that handles from 700 to
900 transient people night during
the season there is not frequent
battle, murder and sudden death.
Charitable Object.
The tourist camp is one unit of
a unique enterprise which is both
business and benevolent. 1t is op-
Grated by the Welfare and Recrea-
tional Association of Public Build
ings and Grounds, an organization
incorporated under the laws of the
District of Columbia for benevolent
and charitable purposes and for
mutual improvement" The purpose
OF this association is to help Gov
eminent officials ito develop possi-
bilities of the public buildings and
property in the District of Columbia
for the health, safety and general
welfare of Government employees
and of such persons as may be ad-
mitted thereto"
Translated into ordinary termi-
nology, this high-sounding purpose
means that the association operates
cafeterias in 18 public buildings, nine
lunch counters, 18 newsstands and
soda bars, five swimming pools, three
tennis courts, handles the renting Of
bicycles and boats at the Tidal
Basin, maintains three bootblack
stands and tops off this miscellany
by grinding cornmeal at the old
Pierce Mill in Rock Greek Park. 1t
Is non-proflt distributing corpora
ton that turns half of the profits
in to the miscellaneous receipts fund
of the United States Treasury. the
other half of the profits being
ploughed back into the business.
| The business had a strange origin.
Capt. F. w. Hoover. who manages
the whole enterprise, some years
back heard complaints that certain
sanitary articles were always miss
ing from the women's toilet rooms
Of Government building. He put
up little money and had the neces-
sary equipment installed in this and,
later, in other buildings. From this
humble beginning, 1t has grown into
what is fast approaching a $4,000, 900
business. still operating under the
laws applying to benevolent societies.
AS for the tourist camp it occupies
Federal land. 1t is more than self
sustaining, having shown in 1898
out of gross receipts of $l41 900, an
operating profit of $4,000, one half
of which found it's ways into the
Treasury and the other half into
Improvements. A 100000 building
program. is scheduled for the near
future, as soon as the powers that
be decide where the tourist camp
is finally to be located. The present
site of the tourist camp is needed
for recreational purposes, and the
Fine Arts Commission some time ago
approved moving the camp to the
site of the present airport. But
the move has been postponed until
q decision can be reached as to the
eventual Use Of the airport.

At first blush, there seems to be
little connection between politics
and tourist camps, but some Con-
sressmen have found it a simple
matter to convert a mere conStitu-
ent into grateful one by taking
