 Kowrumiak was arrested by Lieu tenant Patrick Hobart and Officer Joseph Cavanaugh who were con- cealed on the school grounds and who, according to their testimony. saw Kowrumiak rip the board from the fance.
 He ripped it so hard that I heard the nails squeak" Lieutenant Ho- bart said.

OUR PAUL REVERE DEPT.

OUR PAUL REVERE DEPT,
 (Tne following is respectfully sub mitted to MT. and Mrs. American Public and American Legion by Walter WincheI, hysterical alarm ist.)
 The wallOping defeat of Jerque McWillianns, the McNazi Gin York vile the other Primary Day), was Sugary news, of course, as was the defeat of Congressman Thorkelson of Montana weeks before In ad- 0ition; numerous other candidates patterned along the same Stench, were poor alSo-ranS in other sectors of the land These included Louis B. Ward, editor of Coughlins rag in Michigan, who sought a seat in Congress :. .' Another was Dr. John Derry, who based his cam. paign on intolerance, etc, and ran in Michigan also !. :. Harold Spar ling, who had the support of Ratiz groups (and ran for the Republi- can nomination in California;, took a, similar shellacking from the vot- CTS, and George Deatherage and James Stewart, un-Americans, couldn't even collect enough sigma lures to fife petitions for Congress sional primaries . All these pro- fessional haters were not merely beaten, but were beautifully crushed by MT. and Mrs. Voter But we will never understand why most newspapers with their high stand ards and-sic! c!--ethics). buried most of that thrilling news in the inside pages or ignored it !. News like that, so far as Americans are con- cerned, certainly is more important than the war abroad, kidnappings and John Barrymore's split from his wife News of Democracy Stroyers being licked in democra- tic way should have been blazoned on every front page At any rate, since it was hidden or ignored, let's syndicate it to 330 cities.
 Just as spellbinding, we think, is The Hours reliable report about McWiliams' outfit, following his conviction and being remanded to Bellevue's booby hatch for mental observation The nerves of his Destiny Party had been frayed both by their leaders defeat and com- mitment to the wacky ward |. The next morning, accusations be- gan to fly among Joe McNazi fol- lowers; even the most trusted mem bers of the Strong-arm squad, who carry daggerS, started denouncing one another as spies. After words, fists flew. The first casualty was Joseph Levesque, another violent swastinker, who recently got a court sentence. One of McWilliams' body guards, known as Ernie, went to Leveque, who. was soon stretched out on the floor with a broken nose. Iii no time, the Destiny of ficAs were something of Shambles. Tho following members walked out in disgust, saying they were not coming back: James Stewart, the key lieutenant; Jim Aiken, chief bodyguard; and James Downey, an- other Nazi odor.
 Fritz Wiedemann, the Nazi agent in San Francisco, professed extreme agony at the news that the Rat who Kidnapped the DeTristan child, was a German alien. Fritz said, as though anyone cared for his opinion, that Hitler never stands for kid- mapping :. Fritz apparently be- lieves Americans are dumkopfs, like NaZis, but our newspapers are stained with stories of Nazi snatch es for ransom, blackmail and other crimes typical sof them Schu-
