can Bund which had just pur-
chased land for camp In that
town.
Today that man, Gerard VIII
helm Kunze, Is acting Fuerher OF
the Bund following the convic-
ton and sentencing Of Fritz Kuhn
on grand larceny charges. 1t was
on q quiet Sunday afternoon when
Kunze and a man he introduced
as "Mr. Schmitz" came to the
community and visited with sew
eral prominent and influential
residents including two Congrega-
tional ministers who had de-
nounced the Bund from the pull
pit. These ministers were Rev. M.
Edgar N. Lindsay Of South Brit
ain, and Rev. Felix Manley, then
pastor of the Southbury Federat-
ed church, now Of Massachusetts,.
At one minister's home Kunze
and o friend spent three hours
during which Kunze sought to
find out why the community felt
as IL did over the Bund. He tried
to explain that the ideals and ac-
tions Of the Bund members were
not un-American. II was brought
out during one conversation that
Kunze was born In Germantown,
Pa, and was youngster during
the World war. Because OF his
German parentage he apparently
suffered much abuse from other
children In the neighborhood,
those who met him indicated, and
that, they felt, influenced him In
his leadership Of the pro-Nazi Or
ganization.
Southbursans who became ac-
quainted with Kunze found him
somewhat bitter" but all to-
gether gentlemanly and whole
heartedly sincere In his efforts TO
create good will for the Bund In
the town. He expressed the be-
lief to one person that the COM
munity was deep-seatedly pro-
British
His acquaintance with one resi-
dent led to considerable cores
pondence on Bund ideals and the
weekly Bund paper has been sent
regularly free Of charge to several
whom Kunze met on that Sunday
visit to town.
A reporter for the Republican,
who went to New York to inter-
view Bund leaders at their annual
German Christmas market at Ma
Olson Square Garden was intro
duced to Kunze by Carl Nicolay,
eastern organizer Of the organ
ization. This reporter found him
a clean cut person, busily occu-
pied In the business details Of the
exposition.
After q warm handshake and q
few remarks Kunze went about
his business behind an old desk
In little alcove room off the
entrance to the exposition hall as
the reporter went off with Papa"
Nicolay to seek an interview with
Fritz Kuhn, who proved to be
very elusive. "-Eulogy Of The
