that started slowly and was fought
for time chiefly by seapower and
long-range economic weapons. The
allies and Hitler both displayed
obvious reluctance to utilize the
terrible effects Of mass air at
tacks.
Then came q second sudden blow
timed, executed and conceived In
the favorite Nazi mold. This was
the German invasion OF Scandina-
via, the almost bloodless taking
over OF Denmark and the success
ful-though vigorously opposed
German occupation of key Norwe-
gian ports.
Unlike previous years, when
Hitler's moves generally have
been timed to occur In March
the month In 1888 when he tore
up military provisions of the
Versailles treaty, the month In
1896 when he marched into
the Rhineland, the month In
1898 when he marched into
Austria, and the month In 1899
when he took over Czechoslo-
vakia, Hitler waited until
April Q to sweep into Scandi-
navia.
1t is possible, of course, that the
Scandinavian coup, too, was timed
for March but postponed because
weather conditions were poor for
deliberately coordinated land, sea
and air movement.
The accelerating pace at which
Hitler is driving forward is appar-
ent by observing what has hap
pened since he marched into Aus
tria March IL, 1888. There has
been a coup every six months since
then with almost clock-work reg
ularity.
The area under reich control has
grown two and a half times-if
disputed Norway be included-and
now totals 400, 1000 square miles,
compared with 10000 for the old
reich. Population almost has dou-
bled from 69,1s7, 900 to 113, 1O6,o 900.

strained At Hitler's wish. None
Of the elaborate parades and
fanfare Of previous years In
planned. Hitler asked that
gifts, which have poured In TO
the chancellory on previous oc-
casioans, be omitted.
Instead. the nations gift to the
fuehrer will be a collection OF thou
sands Of tons of scrap metal. which
will be melted down for use in arms
construction.
Hitler is said to be in excellent
h nth. despite the fatigue and
strain of days as leader Of nation
at war. He finds little time for
relaxation. His meals are re-
stricted to the rations all Germans
now live on. His only exercise is
a brief daily walk in the brick
walled park back of the chancel-
lory.
Whether Hitler is more or less
popular with his people than in
former years is difficult to tell,
but his picture drew applause when
flashed on the screen at showings
of THE Baptism OF Fire" film, re-
eording the German invasion of
Poland-an unusual circumstance,
as ordinarily he is not applauded
at cinema houses.
A month before his 50th
anniversary, Hitler was given
new title-"Aggrandlzer Of
the Reich"-bestowed In rec
ognition Of his feats In Czecho-
slovaIxia and Austria
During the year he lived up
to his new title. Never since
the days of Napoleon has the
map Of Europe been made over
with such speed. Even the
treaty Of Versailles hardly en-
compassed changes so vast.
He took Germany into the war
against Great Britain and France.
He scrapped basic doctrines Of
"Mein Kampf" to enter an alliance
with Soviet Russia. To the tro-
hpies of Austria, Sudetenland, b.
hemia, Moravia and Memelland
new names were added.
Sept. 1 brought the dread Ger
man "blitzkrieg" to reality. Ger
man planes and mechanical forces
roared int Poland, blasting that
nation to a shambles in a month.
Danzig returned to the reich and

divided between Germany and Rus

the members of the Rotary Club
meeting yesterday noon at La

Composer Bowers said that
commercial interests at this time
were attempting to upset the
copyright laws under which song
writers and producers in the So
ciety were able to collect pay
ment from all commercial users
of music and songs.
He outlined some of the or
ganization represented in ASCAP
by which it was possible to check
the use of songs and music in
some 600 establishments
throughout the nation each day.
He told how the country is zoned
and checked constantly by

Stetson Kennedy, director of

ect, is field supervisor of the ex-
petition. Robert Harrison Cook
is technical operator of the
equipment and is also making
supplementary Photographic stud
les. While a member of the writ

extensive research into Key West
folklore, and established many
contacts for recording inform
ants. George Mills White and
Mrs. Eva Warner, respective local
supervisors of the music and
recreation projects, are cooperat-
ing with the expedition in the
locating of informants.
Key West has long been appre-
ciated by folkloristS as an unusual
source of folk material, as its in
Sular position has provided ideal
conditions for the acculturation
of immigrant lores and the de-
velopment of indigenous types,
Mr.. Kennedy says.
Among the material to be re-
corded here are such Cuban
songs, sung in Spanish, as the
cantoS Juajiro, the voodooistic
Naanigo chants of the Cuban
Negroes. cantante callejeroS, and
the Cuban instruments: maracaS,
claves, and bongos. The songs
of the Conch Spongers are also
considered highly important, as
many of them show traces of old
English folk music. The Conchs,
technically speaking, are Anglo
Saxon descendants of Cockney
Englishmen who migrated here
from the Bahamas.
From Key West the expedition
will proceed to Sebring. where
typical Florida cracker fiddle
playing and singing will be re-
corded, and thence to Tampa's
exotic Latin quarter, Ybor City.

O'Clock and proceeded to lay out
plans for establishment of a CEN
ter in Colonial Park in accord
ance with original plans made
on Tuesday of this week.
Acknowledging the support of
the council, which body appro-
priated $500 last evening in reg

dertook to spread that amount as
far as possible in providing am
pie facilities for a maximum of
service to the enlisted men.
Rest rooms, band stand, horse

court with net, table games of all
kinds, including ping pong, and
writing materials will be pur-
chased. Benches are to be
brought in from the Botanical
Garden and others are to be con-
structed. A roofed-over shelter
will be built.
Committee members ask that
the public come forward with
ideas to supplement the work
already started. Chairman AL

that 'helpful suggestions now
would be much in order-rather
than criticism later after the
