 forDefendants In Fraud Trial

Connecticut Supreme Court ap- peals of defendants in the Water bury municipal conspiracy trial will be heard Nov. 12 instead of October 22, as originally sched- uled. The court agreed to the postpOnement last night, and agreed also to "rectify" the rec ord so that it will include the length of time the jury deliber- ated before returning verdicts of guilty.
 In regard to a motion of the defense to rectify the record so that it will include a reference to the hostility of the crowds sur- rounding the courthouse during the trial, the. court ruled that de- fense and state could file deposit tions by Nov. 12. Whether the claim will be made part of the record, will be determined after argument, the court said.
 The three motions were made by defense counsel Tuesday. Spe- cial Prosecutor Hugh AlcOrn Op- posed tne motions to postpone and the motion to rectify the rec ord regarding the hostility" He made no objection to the motion to insert the "jury-time" into the record. ,,

ALL JULIET ON THE AMERICAN
 FRONT
 lRespectfully submitted to MT. and
 Mrs. American Public by Walter
 Winchell, the renowned
 hysterical alarmist.)
 There is criticism of Pearson and Allen because these fearless news papermen reported that the late Senator Lundeen made pro-Nazi speeches in the Senate. They also alleged that Lundeen used speeches inspired by paid Nad propagan- dists. I hear that these reporters may be investigated" At any rate, the Senators who are threaten ing to investigate Pearson and Allen might better investigate the editors of Nazi newspaper in New York for its April 4th, issue to check one of its stories Thus, save tax payers the $25, 1000 they are using to probe Pearson and Allen. If a story in that issue is true, the late Senator Lundeen's good name'' has not been maliciously defamed But since the source of a pro-Nazi rag. we can presume the editors know pro-Nazis when they meet them.
 When the Duke of Saxe- Cobure and Gotha of Germany came here Gin the same party that brought Dr. WeStrickl dinner was given in his honor by the Board of Trade for German-American Commerce of N. Y. The affair was held at the Waldorf Astoria on March goth, 1904 at which GOO people, including many Americans of non- German stock (according to the same article) gave the Nazi salute when the orchestra struck up the Horst Wes- ssel song . Senator Lundeen was the featured speaker and. according to the pro-Nazi newspaper, 'he qundeen) pledged himself to act as friend of the German people and as an opponent of new tangled iEteTnationalism as long as he was a member of the Senate"
 The source for that Lundeen story was the April 4th, 194O issue (Vol. 5, No. Al, Page D of The German American Bund's official newspaper in Yorkville.
 te-spreaders know children are inpresslonable and naive; so they infect them young. Frixample: The Fcscist Blackshirt cells in N. J. teach children to recite this anti Americanism: When I grow up when, at least, am a soldier, shall fight for Italy, my Father land, and I shall win. shall take from the enemies flags and prison CTS, and shall earn many medals of valor" .. That is what is being drummed into the heads of Ameri- can children in many sections of the U. s. A., according to the Sept 2Oth Congressional Record and that hysterical alarrnist Cong. Minton of Indiana.
 A few weeks. ago the State De- Ipartment announced that any Foreign diplomat in the U. s. who interferes with our internal affairs will be considered persona non grata II Mundo, the American Pa- triotic Italian language magazine alleged that New Italian Consul Vec- chio6u is taking very active part in the Presidential campaign So what. MT. Secretary of State Hull?
 Another favorite hunk of bunk dished out by the Nazis is that they never interfere with foreign govern ments . :. But in Berlin there is a Ribbentrop bureau. Its job is to collect data on foreign nations and its leading statesmen and citizens The habits, passions. vises, love-life and other personal information about the men and women who in- fiuence statesmen, newspapers and opinion, etc. They also train special agents (men and Women) for

 In every country not controlled by Germany, is an organization for their work in Berlin. They are known as The Stuetzpunkte, which we shall IcaN The Punks for short. Its members are smuggled into a nation, usually by Nazi diplomats.
