in this country he thought would be
enough. He said that at consider
able expense the Germans might
raid some American cities with
planes but that they could not make
military invasion of this country.
He pointed out that Germany today
is using many times the number of
planes against England that could
possibly be placed on all the air
carriers in the world.
Col. Lindbergh told the. committee
in reply to questions that this coun-
try should establish and maintain
air bases in South America and
Central America in order to make
this country impregnable to attack.
He suggested that the air bases
should be established as far south
as the Amazon Valley and perhaps
even beyond.
Mr.. Kee asked Col. Lindbergh if
he thought that the United States,
by giving all aid to England, would
make it possible for England to win
the war against Hitler. Col. Lind
bergh replied that he did not think
England could invade the continent
and win the war.
Spokesman for No Group.
Mr.. Kee read an article written
by columniSt, he said, in which
Col. Lindbergh was described as
the head of a group intent upon
"appeasement." The article also
said that Col Lindbergh expected
the collapse of England.
Il am not a spokesman for any
group" commented Col. Lindbergh
Who is the author of that article?"
member of the committee asked
Mr.. Kee.
Dorothy Thompson" replied Mr..
Kee.
The crowd burst into loud laughter.
Miss Thompson has repeatedly at
tackled Col. Lindbergh in her
columns.
IF Hitler succeeds, do you be-
lieve we must prepare to make a
settlement with him?" asked Mr..
Kee.
1--WE have always traded with
Europe and I believe we will con-
tinue to do so," was Col. Lindbergh's
reply.
Pressed again for an answer as to
whether this country would have to
come to some settlement with the
Nazis should they win, Col. Lind
berph answered.
I'VE would come to some agree
ment in much the same way as we
have come to an agreement with
Russia" There was laughter and
applause.
Not Our War"
Representative Tinkham, Repub-
ican, of Massachusetts,, opponent of
the bill, said
Col. Lindbergh, do you believe
that this is not our war?"
yes, this is not our war" Col.
Lindbergh answered s-'%
Asked for his reasons, Col. Lind

bergh said that the United States
had had no say about the beginning
OF the war, that wars in Europe
have gone on for ages, that after
I'VE left Europe at the close of the
last war we logically took a stand
not to go into another and we will
not unless we wish to 60 into Eu-
ropean politics permanently"
Representative Richards, Demo-
crat, of South Carolina compli-
mented Col Lindbergh and declared
that 1t would be a bad time for the
United States when any citizen
could not express his views freely as
Col. Lindbergh had done.
The United States is proud of
you, Col. Lindbergh," said Mr..
Richards, while we may not agree
with you"
Mr.. Richards, calling attention to
the fact that Col. Lindbergh had
said the United States could not be
successfully invaded if it has proper
air bases in South America, asked If
there were any such bases now.
Little Danger Today.
Col. Lindbergh admitted there
were none that amounted to any,
thing.
Then are we not in danger now?"
asked Mr.. Richards.
Col. Lindbergh replied that there
was no power able to strike at the
United States today and that there
fore there was little danger.
Mr.. Richards asked Col. Lind
bergh whether he thought the
United States should take air bases
in South America and on adjacent
islands even if an agreement could
not be made with the Latin -Ameri-
can countries.
Col, Lindbergh replied that South
America needs the strength of this
country and that he believed the
Latin-American countries would
agree if the case were properly pre-
Sented.
In reply to question, he said that
If foreign nation should establish
air bases in South America, I'VE
should 60 to war"
Col Lindbergh said one reason
American defense preparation has

not gone forward more rapidly is
because people have been divided
over the question of a foreign war
If the public was given the opportu-
nifty to concentrate on defense OF
their own country, without any
question of taking part in a foreign
war;" he thought this country's re.
armament would progress faster.
"Long Step to European Ties"
would this bill tie our destinies
to European war leaders whose &C.
ton we cannot control?" asked Rep
resentative Rogers, Republican, oi
Massachusetts,.
81 think it would be a long ster
in that direction" he answered.
Mr.. Pfeifer asked him why he was
so sure American participation
would not affect the war aims of the
belligerents.
II don't say they would not alter
their war aims" he replied. Il say
the United States and Great Britain
could not invade the continent (o1
Europe)."
I'm other words, Germany is sure
to Win?" Queried Mr.. Pfeifer.
"On the continent she already il
in control. I do not say invasion o1
England will occur"
Mr.. Pfeifer asked him why he
thinks Germany would stop if it in

loud applause. Chairman Bloom
rose and announced that the COM
mittee preferred to have no demon
Stration.
Representative Eaton questioned
Col. Lindbergh about the pending
bill
Are you in favor of it?" he asked
Il am opposed to the bill" replied
Col. Lindbergh. II regard it as one
more step away from democracy and
one more step toward war"
Are you in favor of extending
more aid to Britain?" asked Mr.
Eaton.
Col. Lindbergh said he believed
the amendment of the neutrality
bill in 1889, which had made it pos
Slble to extend aid to Britain, has
already brought this country close
to war; that it has been responsible
for more loss of blood in Europe
and he believed the effort would
not have much effect on the out
come in Europe. The continuance
OF such a course, he said, will in
crease hatred of the United States
in England, will bring about more
bloodshed and will not affect mate
| rally the outcome
Would you have us drop all aio
to England?" asked Mr.. Eaton.
II don't believe that we can JUS
tify dropping the position we have
taken at this time" replied Col
Lindberg. But we should endeavor
to bring about peace in Europe and
not encourage the continuance OF
the war"
Desire for Peace First Step.
How would you do that?"
The first step would be to create
among our people a desire for peace
in Europe" said Col Lindberg
When they understand the situa-
ton fully, believe they will have
that desire"
Mr.. Eaton said I'VE have the an
nouncement of Hitler and his allies
that they intend to create a new
world order. not merely a new Eu-
ropean order, by force; that they
intend to crush the world and en-
slave it and to place one race in
control. Under those conditions,
how can We begin negotiations for
peace unless Hitler has a change
of mind?"
Col. Lindbergh replied that he
thought this country was strong
enough to maintain itself under any
circumstances and he added, II do
not think we are strong enough to
impose our way of life on Europe
and Asia. We should defend it here
at home"
Mr.. Eaton questioned Col. Lind
bergh about air defenses. He said
Col Lindbergh had mentioned TO-
600 fighting planes as an adequate
force He added that President
Roosevelt had mentioned $4,000
planes.
"Was he sure of his position?"
asked Mr.. Eaton.
Il don't know" replied Col. Lind
bergh.
Representative Kee, Democrat. of
West Virginia asked Col. Lindbergh
whether he believed this country
has the ability to produce as many
alrplanes as Germany or any other
nation in the world.
NO" said Col. Lindbergh. unless
we build for the invasion of other
countries
Air Raid Danger Discounted.
Mr.. Kee asked if the large pro-
duction capacity of airplanes ir
Germany was not such a menace
that I'VE should do something
about it."
Col. Lindbergh pointed out that
Germany's production capacity was
for type of plane suitable for use
in Europe and not to fly across the
Atlantic Ocean. For that reason, he
said, the capacity for 10000 planes

safeguard against aggression is a
force adequate to stop it, and that
he thinks this country will have a
defense strong enough to stop it.
In seeking to find out what course
Col. Lindbergh would recommend,
Mr.. Pfeifer inquired whether I'VE
should send peace. ENJOYS over

mo, but we should stop shouting
down any talk of peace and be OPEN
minded to it" was his reply.
Col. Lindberghs had testified
earlier he thought the sending of
American destroyers to England was
a mistake and said later he is op-
posed to sending any more of the
Navy.

His height was eight feet and six

we'll together, but his mother could
not reach high enough to touch the
top of his shoulder, and his father
could barely do so.
Various other giants have been
reported in the course of history.
In the Bible we read of Goliath with
height Of nine feet and nine
inches, and an ancient Jew named
EleaZar was said to be 10 feet and
two inches tall.
In modern times tall men have
been measured with care. A soldier
in the Austrian army had a height
of eight feet, four and half inches.
A German woman. living in the

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

A new giant has risen IN Egypt.
His name is Mohammed Saad
Ghazy, and he is now as tall as
Robert Wadlow of Alton, ILL.,, was
when he died last year.
Thirteen years ago, when he was
10 wears of age, Ghazy was not very
tall. He was a young laborer,
standing five feet and nine inches,
lust about the height OF an average
man.
Then something happened to a
small gland under the brain, the
so-called pituitary gland This
gland kept sending too much secre-
ton around the body.
Ghazy kept getting taller and
taller. He went to a doctor, but the
doctor was not able to do much Tor
him. Today he is eight feet ana
10 inches tall, and there's no telling
when he will stop growing.
Doctors are now giving Ghazy a
new type of treatment. They are
using an X-ray machine in an Ell
fort to cut down the action OF the
gland.
The Alton giant had a different
story. He grew too tall when he
was only a child. At the age OF
nine, he was six feet tall-taller
than his father.
Two years later, Robert was six
feet and seven inches tall. He had
his picture taken beside Primo Car.

West opened the heart king re-
ports Mr.. Rand. Dummy played
the ace and returned a heart Tor
South to ruff. Dummy was entered
with the spade ace, and dummys
last heart was ruffed with the
lack of clubs. Next, South laid
down the ace and queen of clubs and
followed with the king Of diamonds.
East took the diamond ace and re-
turned a spade. South took the
spade king, ruffed a spade with
dummys six of trumps, drew the last
trump with dummy's king. and then
dummy's diamonds took the rest"
How many crimes can you spot?
See for yourself before reading on.
There were four crimes! To begin
with. North and South should have
bid six diamonds, not six clubs.
North knew the diamonds were
solid enough, but should have feared
that South might have weak club
suit with compensating strength in
spades. 1t was just luck that the
clubs were actually solid enough to
permit the making of the slam.
The second crime was that South
should have cashed the ace and
queen of clubs right after rufflng
the second round of hearts instead
of waiting until after ruffing the
third round. But that also cost MOTH
ing, because luck was with de-
Clarer.
The third crime was in leading
the king of diamonds. South should
have led low diamond. Then, if
East refused to take the trick,
dummy would be in the lead to draw
the last trump. And East committed
the fourth crime by taking the ace
of diamonds at once. If he had re-
fused the trick, he could take the
next diamond and let his partner
ruff the third round of the suit.
