BERLIN, Jan. 31.-Artificial in
semination to insure sons for the
fatherland is urged on childless
couples by the Schwartz Korps, Off
cial weekly publication of Heinrich
Himmler's black-uniformed Schultz
staffel, the Elite Guard of Nazidom.
I'm cases where incurable in
ability to beget progeny on the part
of the husband has as a counterpart
the perfect health of the wife" the
publication said, "the possibility of
artificial qualification may offer a
saving way out to prevent divorce.
The problem, then, is that of
finding a helper toward procrea-
tion-somebody who must be of
high caliber as regards both health
and character and who will place
his hereditary substance at dis
posal.
Artificial transportation will be
done by physician"
The weekly suggests that brothers
Of impotent husbands be chosen for
the purpose, where possible.

The German people are unique in
their discipline. Our enemies are
going to get to know our divisions

twenty-five years ago, our ma
ton was poorly equipped, yet we &C
complished wonders. -
Germany today has leadership
which I assure you is not the worst.
A fight for our rights will not have
to start again after a few years"
In conclusion, Hitler shouted, II
can stand before history! Germany
will live and be victorious-hail to
victory!"
Hitler drew laughter when he
Knocked Mr.. Chamberlain as a BIZ
ble-carrying hypocrite.
Folding his notes and placing his
hands together as if in devotion,
he observed:
when Mr. Chamberlain walks
with a Bible in his hand, it looks
to me as if the devil were approach
ing some poor soul with a prayer
book in his hand"
The audience laughed and shout
ed in appreciation while Hitler
smiled.
"Mr. Chamberlain" he said, "for
300 years your statesmen always
spoke as you do now. You never
fought otherwise than for God and
religion, and because you never
asked for material aims, God re-
warded you!
Denies Germany Disunited.
But England never wanted to be
the sole fighter for the Lord. She
always asked others in. England's
history is an uninterrupted series of
maltreatments, horrors and tortures.
The aims always were materiaHstic,
but proclaimed as idealistic."
Referring to M. Daladier's conten-
ton that Germany was disunited,
Hitler cried:

Daladier, you're going to get to know

Alien Placed on Probation
After Claiming Daughter
By the Associated Press.

EBENSBURG, Pa, Jan. 81
County court placed Mike Dravenak
on probation for two years and ord
cred him to pay costs arising from
charges that he kept 23-year-old
daughter chained in a room of their
home at nearby Lilly.
The alien also was instructed yes
terday not to try to obtain release
of the daughter, Mary, from Tor
rance State Hospital where she was
recommitted following discovery of
conditions in her home.
Chief County Detective John F.
Carroll reported only mattress and
chair in the room where the girl was
chained. He said neighbors told him
Dravenak struck his daughter with
stone once when she tried to
escape.
The man has not worked for 10
years, added Mr.. Carroll, believing
that he does not have to work and
that the American people have to
support him.

Italians Reserved
In Comments on
Hitler Speech
British See Evidence
Nozis Have Given Up
Effort to Split Allies
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Adolf Hitler's freshened declara-
lions Of policy as regards his friends
and his enemies were met with re-
serve in Rome today and with vary
ing argumentative interpretations
in London and Paris.
Italian newspapers published
resume of the Fuehrer's speech of
last night without comment even in
headlines where they often express
reaction.
OF Rome's two morning news
papers, only II Popolo Di Roma
singled out Hitler's reference to
friendship with Italy for headline
mention. Government sources were
equally reserved. Officials said they
were waiting to study the official
text before commenting.
Hitler declared common policy"
Of Italy and Germany had not
changed, and that 'Their common
interests can be reduced to a COM
mon denominator."
Irrelevant As Stale"
British spokesman professed to
find evidence in the address that
Hitler had given up hope of sepa-
rating Great Britain and France 'in
order to destroy each of them
singly and at his leisure"
The Times of London decided the
Fuehrer's speech was "as irrelevant
as 1t is STALE" and the London Daily
Mail dismissed it with: Hitler
made his speech again last night"
The British broadcasting Corp.
showed unusual speed in getting a
British reply on the air. 1t was
broadcast in German within an
hour after Hitler spoke. Germans
are forbidden to listen to foreign
broadcasts.
French "Calmly Indifferent"
Among other statements, Hitler
threatened to deliver the war which
he said the British and French had
asked for" Semi Official circles in
Paris, however, represented the
French attitude as one of calm in
Qll1cTcQCe.
The Paris newspaper LIE Journal
declared the speech was that "of
a man made helpless by the ap-
pearance Of the police he had not
expected ." In order to Justify
his own crimes accuses his adver-
saries."
LIE Matin characterized the ad-
dress as "a REPETITION Of old propa-
ganda themes already developed in
previous harangues," while Excel
sior, commenting on the threat Of
intensified war said:
Thus Hitler will not shrink from
any massacre. - He forgets that
on their side the allies are no
longer asleep"

Fugmann, found in his basement
remnants of an orange crate from
which wood had been taken to
partition off the inside of the cigar
boxes, and saw him executed for
murder.
The almost limitless variety of
inspectors duties illustrated includes
delivering mail to the President
when he is at, sea. inspecting post
Offices all over the United States
proper and its possessions-even at
the leper colony in the Hawaiian
Islands, where the inspector has
to be careful to stand feet away
from the local postmaster and burn
his clothes when he leaves; measur-
ing the distances on rural mail
routes and on airmail routes, and
guarding the Treasury's huge gold
shipments.
The detailed plans and pictures
of the actual operations involved
In the 1887 shipment of $5,O0O,OO0 900
in gold bullion from New York and
Philadelphia to Fort Knox, KY, are
prominently displayed. They will be
a valuable guide for any similar
sort Of job in the future.
One thing the post Office inspec-
tors have learned about gold ship
ments-there is more danger of
loss from the tricky nature of the
metal itself than from bandits. A
big shipment once was mailed in
canvas bags, and thousands of dol
lars worth of the gold rubbed off
in fakes and dust particles to be-
come absorbed in the CLOTH AS a
result the record shipment to Fort
Knox was packed tightly in wooden
boxes.
One of the most practical uses of
the historical room" at present is
in giving new inspectors an unfor-
gettable picture of the wide variety
OF their work They already know
something about the Postal Serv-
: ice, because only men who have
worked at least four years in the
general service are appointed in
spectors. The new appointees are
brought to Washington for an in
tenslve training course before being
sent out into the field for further
training by assisting a veteran in
spector. Officials here say a new
conner to the service can learn about
as much in two hours spent looking
over the exhibits in the Historical
room" as he can in several DAYS of
listening to lectures.
The force of inspectors is kept up
to around 600 at present, and most
of them are veterans-125 have been
inspectors for more than Is years
and another 81 for more than 25
years.
Because of the variety of their
work, there are many experts in
specialized fields among them. Jo-
seph, F. Garland, assistant chief in
spector, pointed out a recent ap-
preparations bill hearing before
House committee that as result
of these specialties Post Office in
spectors had worked out the system
of accounting used by airmail con-
tractors and another inspector was
recognized by police officers as hav-
ing more accurate knowledge of
confidence men than anybody else
in the United States.
IF he meets one of them on the
street, he can pick him out at once"
Mr.. Garland remarked. IF some
body is swindled in a confidence
game. and victim gives this in
spector description of the offender.
he will say, That is so and So and
get his picture out for Identification.
In "a out of 25 times the inspector
will be right in his Identification"
