falsely impersonated in a Berlin broadcast.
 The Nazis pretended to have the young woman, Miss Natalia Ragsdale, in their broadcasting studio. They presented her to American listeners to testify to the ruthlessness of British bomb ing. She spoke, describing the bombing of a hospital in Berlin. Then the German speaker, Lord Flaw Haw," said, American listen CTS must now believe, from the lips of an American young wo- man, what atrocities the British are committing"
 The only trouble was that the Germans were too clever. h. stead of inventing a name, they had actually picked a known American woman and pretended that she was speaking at the mic- rophone.
 The broadcast was heard by an associate of Colonel Ragsdale in Philadelphia, who phcned him and asked, 'Is your daughter in Ber- Hn?" "Of course not" replied Ragsdale, "she is right here in the room with me-"

cations and in the light of his un- happy record in trying to sell Amer ican planes to Russia four years ago and create a monopoly he is giv- en high rank in the Army.
 Case number three-Gov. Leh- man stated the other day that the Axis powers would look favorably upon the election of Wendell Will kie. He inferred that vote for Willkie was vote for Hitler. This statement by the governor of New York has aroused public indigna- tion to no end and the, governor assertion has been labeled as a cheap appeal to the hatreds of racial groups and deliberate attempt to capitalize on the war abroad. Henry Wallace also made the same insin- uation and was bOoed for his trou- ble by Democrats.
 Case number Iour-JameS A. Far ley was the principal speaker at the New York state Democratic conven- ton and he talked for more than a full hour and omitted any mention of President Roosevelt or the New Deal. Farley is still the titular head of the Democratic party in New York--a state whose electoral vote is essential.
 Farley's attitude has the big wigs in the Democratic organization from the president down, plainly worried. And Farley intends to let them wor- ", make no mistake about that.
 Case number five-The New Deal through Charles Nicholson, publicity director, has attempted Smear tac- tics which have thus far reacted against them. The New Deal has att tempted to belittle Willkie and label him as tool for the power trusts in order to cover the real issues of the campaign under smoke screen. While MT. Roosevelt still hides be- hind the War" smoke screen as his justification for the Draft" he for- bids the administration spokesmen to discuss any of the real issues such as spending billions during the last seven years to find employ mert for ten million unemployed and failing n1iserably. MT. Roosevelt is relying mostly on race and class votes and the power of the relief bounties and corrupt city machinel to give him his third term without coming down from his high pedes' tai and facing his opponent on the real issues O. American life.
 Case number six--Bnss Hague Oi New Jersey Is in trouble. One of hh trusted lleutenants has confessed that the poll books Of lo36 and iesl have been burned. This confession needless to say smells to the higl heaven. Those were the records up' on which the government was bas. ing its investigation into corrup voting in the Hague stronghold. aI investigation. incidentally. which he's been eiifled from tiino to lime by some hidden poWegs

velt,S, irked Knudsen consider ally, since it threw a monkey wrench into production schedules on which he had worked hard and of which he was very proud.
 Aware of this private irrita- tion, certain of Knudsen's for mer business pals have been quietly needing him to bolt the Defense Commission with a ringing demand for the election of Willkie.
 This political pressure has not been entirely from the outside. Some heavy lickS have been put in by certain dollar-a-year busi- ness tycoonS inside the Defense Commission, several of them on Knudsen's own staff.
 With the tax bill and last ap- propriation measures finally cleared by Congress, Knudsen is immersed in getting his produc- tion schedules into high gear and has given no indication of being influenced by politics. But the GOPers are putting on the heat from every direction and as hard as they can.

DUMMY CORPORATIONS DISGUISE OWNERSHIP

DISGUISE OWNERSHIP
 Points which especially worry those who have been close to the situation are these:
 The suspicion that whole or part ownership of certain American corporations is actually supplying Germany with the money that pays for espionage work in this country. Ownership is carefully disguised, usually via banks or dunn my corporations in Switzerland.
 The fear that various patent and trade control agreements between U. s. and German producers give Germany accurate, day-to-day in- formation about the kind and ex- tent of war material the govern ment is buying.
 The belief that under-produc- ton and too-high prices in cer- tain important defense industries are due to similar agreements.

 The United Auto Workers are being financed with $15O,000 of loans from Lewis's United Mine Workers. The auto workers of late had leaned strongly to the Hillman wing for direction, but the low condition of the c. I. O. treasury forced them to go to Lewis for the sinews of war.

Shifting troops from the north to
the south means marked fall IN
blood pressure and hypertonlcity OF
the digestive system.
OF course. the same general re-
suits that are observed in armies
occur IN the civil population. In
cold weather movements are auto
matically more energetic IN order to
keep up warmth. The load on the
heart Is correspondingly greater;
the blood pressure is little higher,
and there is more heart disease dur
ing the winter months.
Natures Experiment
During the very severe summer
Of 1884, in the middle west, Nature
made an experiment CT its own
which was observed, and the o5scr-
vations show that the blood pressure
FELL about 80 per cent and tncre was
a general relief from symptoms Of
heart disease.
Changcabic temperatures and the
pressure Of storm zones produce d
population badly afflicted with arth-
ritis and chronic respiratory trouble
Chronic bronchitis, sinus disease,
etc.
For some curious reason, acute
appendicitis is related to storm
pathways, following almost the
same curve as respiratory infection,
and although the occurrence of
acute appendicitis is highest in the
colder climates, the fatality rate
drops in those same regions.
Economic depressions during the
past go years can be so charted as
to show that they have been pre-
coded by high temperatures and
lack OF storms that bring about re-
duction in human energy.
These statements are not made
without some scientific basis. DR..
c. A. Mills, professor of Expert
mental Medicine at the University
OF Cincinnati, has made these obser-
vatlons over number of years.

Be|gians Fight 10 Save
Huge Holdings Abroad
Sy Radio to The Star.

BY Radio to The Star
BORDEAUX, June 3.-Despite
the courageous stand taken by the
rump Belgian Parliament (89 Dep
uties and 54 Senators who had man.
aged to escape to France and who
met in Limoges last Friday in ap-
proving Premier Hubert Pierlot's
denunciation of King Leopold and
in lending full support to the cab
inet in its fight for restitution Of
Belgian independence, its decision
can hardly repair the damage caused
by the Kings surrender to the Ger
mans.
One of the greatest tasks facing
the deputies as well as Belgian
bankers and business men who have
now sought refuge in France, is to
save Belgian holdings abroad.
Belgium has large investments
throughout the world, including the
Balkans. For example. in Rumania
alone, one single banking concern
has 10000, ,0O0. 900 lei. or nearly $780,
100000, invested in armament works,
oil wells, refneries, railroads and
trolley car companies and so forth.
Undoubtedly, the Germans will
claim all these investments. But the
bankers will fight to protect their
interests. the loyal Belgian govern
ment will fight for the restoration
of Belgium's independence.
