"In this country, rs In every
other modern Industrial country,
the forces which are making for
curtailmpnt Of democracy are
strong. They are deeply based
on the growing monopoliEation

and political consequences that
flow therefrom.

Fascism can only be checked by

Airports Planned
To Halt InUasiOn
Eastern Areas to Be Made
Secure From attack.

ALBANY, N. Y.-The historic
northern invasion route through the
Champlain and Hudson valleys,
where General Burgoyne met de-
leat by American colonials, is being
secured from foreign attack by q
projected network Of military plane
landing fields.
With military experts agreed that
foreign power most likely would
strike through the natural assure In
the Adirondack and New England
mountain ranges, the Works Prog
ress administration has prepared
plans for number of landing fields
for bombers and fighting planes.
Saratoga county, scene OF the
American Revolution battle OF 1777,
has agreed to share with the WPA
the cost of building a landing field
to cover 100 acres.
At least two other isolated land
ing fields will be constructed to de-
lend the vital industrial East from
any possible invader from the air, l"
according to WPA spokesman.
Lester w. Herzog. state WPA ad-
miniStrator, said development OF the
Saratoga field is in line with the ma
tional program to isolate war planes
from large cities to remove any ex-
cuse for bombing civilians.
The Saratoga field is approximate
ly IS miles from the Albany-Troy
area, with its 400. 900 population and
vital industries.
The WPA and army officials also
are studying the possibility of Sc
ries of small landing fields to be
situated near state highways. Planes
would be concealed from sky OBJ
servers and could leap into the sky
Unexpectedly.
Other defense plans, according to
WPA spokesman, are widening high
way shoulders and Strengthening

Night-Club Girls
In Egypt Eyed as
Possible Agents
Protest Justify Against Move
To Give Them the
Buns Rush.

CAIRO, EGYPT. - Two hundred
night-club girls from the Balkans,
regarded suspiciousl-- by British
counterespionage agents as possible
Mata Harris, are protesting Justify
against moves to give them the
buns rush out of Egypt.
One group held a vociferous indig-
nation meeting and appointed a
spokesman to communicate their
grievances to the press. Others
thought it better to plead individual
ly with influential personages fire.
quenting their night spots.
Officials disclosed that there had
been some arrests among entertain
ers on charges of spying and that
some already had been expelled as
dangerous women"
Suspect Hungarians.
The Balkans supply Egypt with
virtually all its night-club artists,
except for hip-swaying Oriental
dancers, local specially.
The ones the British want to get
out of the country for the most part
are Hungarians and Rumanians.
There also are many Czech, Polish
and Austrian girls here, but the Brit
ish intelligence service say they are
less likely to spy for Germany.
There are a few American perform
ers at one Cairo show, but they are
not under SI1cpici0n
We're innocent" the protesting
group shouts. ''Why should we be
deprived of the right to make liv-
ing, especially now when it's hard
and expensive to get home and just
at time when a big British army
in Egypt makes business good?"
Not always so innocent as they
SENIOR so dumb" counter British
operatives. They add that in all
cases of espionage uncovered among
the girls, money rather than pro-
Nazi sentiment, proved the incen-
tive.
10000 Italians in Country.
British counterintelligence never
sleeps in Egypt. Its job is hard
one as 10000 Italians were in the
country at the start of the war and
only 5000 have been put in con-
centration camps. A major difficult
ty until recently was the fact that
it was an offense to spy against the
Egyptian army, but not the British.
A new law has remedied this.
Among the method of transmit
ting information to the enemy un-
covered by the British agents have
been clandestine radio stations, pig
cons, buttons and rings, in which
papers may be concealed. Their
collection looks like cross between
dressmaker'S shop and a jewelry
store.

This Farm Goes to Dogs
And Becomes Real Town

DELLVIEW, N. C.-Stray dogs
with a taste for chicken are respon-
sible for this incorporated town.
perhaps the smallest in the United
States.
In 1925 the three Dellinger broth
ers, operating large chicken farm,
were bothered by dogs. The dogs,
because of lack of enforcement of
county laws, played havoc with the
fowls.
Davis P. Dellinger, another broth
er and a lawyer in nearby Cherry
vile and a part owner of the farm,
came to the rescue.
He conceived and carried out the
idea of incorporating the farm as a
town by legislative enactment. Town
ordinances against dogs running at
large were passed and the farming
Dellingers were made town officers,
armed with shot-gunS.

Losing Battle Is Fought
In Alsace Against Weed

BASEL, SWITZERLAND. - Any
wind from Alsace and the Vosges
is an i'll wind for thousands of Swiss
farmers.
War drove Alsatian and Vosges
farmers away from their fields after
the 1889 harvest and they couldn't
get back for 1910.
What once were rich fields now
are forests of weeds, going to seed.
The winds wait the seeds for miles,
with no regard for frontiers. Farm.
ers all over northwestern Switzer-
land are fighting a losing battle
against weeds in hitherto immacu-
late fields.
