Accurate Prophecies by
Five-Year-Old Child

In miniscule Trucksville, Pa,
(pop. 200, near Wilkes-Barre, live
Harry Harding, a manufacturer Of
rubber typewriter pads, his wife,
and their four children. The young
est child is 412-year-old Faith Hope
Charity Harding. Mrs Harding and
her daughter were in New York and
photographers fiashbulbs were pop
ping around Faith Hope Charity as
thick as firefiies.
Little Faith Hope Charity was in
New York to be examined by an
assortment of psychic researchers
and mediums who were excited by
her alleged powers of prophecy. A
bright little child who looks like any
normal girl, she has startled the
world by her series of remarkably
accurate prophecies, all duly record
ed by her mother. Among them:
The war in Europe, the Hitler-Stalin
pact, the burning of the Trucksville
school, the attack on the duchess of
Kent, the loss at sea of Richard Hal
lburton.
Faith Hope Charity first disclosed
her gift, says Mrs. Harding, at the
age of Is months when she ex-
claimed: Mummy, Frank McWig-
gin is dead" McWiggin was friend
of the family. Upon calling his Of
fee, Mrs. Harding was assured that
he was on trip to New York; next
day, she learned he had fallen dead
the day before in a New York hotel.
"Tve got so now, that when
Faiths predictions seem important
I have them notarized," said Mrs.
Harding. ''As a rule the most i'm
portant prophecies come to her at
night. She may be almost awake,
in a trance or just on the borderland.
Whoever she speaks through calls
herself an Entity. Often she uses
words I've never heard and usually
talks in old English"
Since she came into the national
headlines, Faith Hope Charity-or
The Entity-has made one predic-
ton that can be checked by mil
lions of persons. Franklin Roose-
welt, she said, would be drafted for a
third term, and will run. She did not
forecast the name of his opponent
or the outcome of the election.

FIFTH COLUMN EVIDENCE
x',!x!'g|;!sl!zMMsz||xs

The Dies investigating committee
now has documentary evidence of
Nazi fifth column operations in the
u. S. so explosive that its publica-
ton might lead to a complete rup-
ture of diplomatic relations with
Germany.
Because of this the committee has
been nervously sitting on the load
of dynamite, uncertain what to do.
It has consulted the state depart
ment, which is just as jittery itself.
In fact, even more so. The de-
partment foresees the inevitable ne
cessity of demanding the recall of a
number of German diplomatic rep
resentatives, with certain retaliation
by Berlin by the busting of U. S.
officials. In the present delicate
state of U. S.-Axis relations, the de-
partment doesn't want to run that
risk.
So on its urgent advice, the COM
mittee is sitting tight and continu-
ing its secret probe of the subversive
activities. The documentary evil
dence in the possession of the COM
mittee is staggering. 1t definitely
establishes:
/. That the Nazi government is
directly supervising and financing a
nationwide fifth column campaign to
oppose and obstruct the defense pro-
gram, the U. S. government for
eign policy and aid to Great Britain.
2. That this activity is being car
ried on through German consulates
and German-controlled papers, plus
propaganda agencies of various
kinds.
3. That Nazi consuls get detailed
instructions from Berlin through reg
ular short-wave broadcasts in code.
Column Fuehrer.
Suspected master mind of the Nazi
fifth column is DR.. Manfred Zapp,
head of the Trans-Ocean News Serv-
ice, propaganda outfit with offices
in New York and Washington. Zapp
came to this country after being
booted out of South Africa by the
British government.
Two of the consuls implicated in
the evidence the committee has
turned over to the state department
are Capt. Fritz Wiedemann, at San
Francisco, and Herbert Scholz, at
Boston.
Scholz has been closely associat-
