Children, / want 10 sleep

The apartment of Maria Schi-
pora seemed to be a camping
place for great number OF
functionaries passing through
Berlin on Illegal missions. Each
of those present drew blankets
from a stack in closet. Felix
Neumann and Eva had a room
of their own. So had Maria.
The rest slept on couches and
on the rug.
In the morning light Neu-
mann's hollow face was gray.
"Snatch your coffee in a
restaurant" he said crisply.
"A friend wants to see you"
We rode in a taxi TO a little
hotel in Neukoelln. In dingy
front room of the hotel man
clad in pa jamas rose from the
bed when we entered. Scattered
on the bed and the floor were
the morning newspapers.

He asked me how our units
in Hamburg were armed, how
the training progressed, and if
the rank and file had confidence
in their leadership. He made
shorthand notes of the things /
told him. and observed that he
thought il necessary AT times to
inform himself of the opinions
of the comrades at the bottom.
He then instructed me TO take
two parcels to Hamburg, one for
Otto Marquardt, the other for
a young lady named AnJa Daul.

 One especially notable exhibit will be the true" Crown of Thorns, or paliurus spina christi, brought from the Mount of Olives section. This plant is not the euphorbia, which sometimes is erroneously known as the Grown of Thorns. The garden in which
 these are to be shown will be on the order of a Palestine courtyard, backed by a wall of adobe with brick, straw and clay-as histor- ically correct as 1t is possible to construct it. There is to be well of the type named for Rachel.
 The exhibit of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden is to be collec- tion of some seventy species of ivy varieties of hedera. This is a genus which includes English and Irish ivy and others. Some of the specimens came from England since the war started. Two years ago Arthur Hill, director of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, was asked to root a set of all the varieties there were at Kew, and the shipment arrives early in 1940.
 Gardners, both professional and amateur, are busily engaged nurs- ing several thousand exhibits to be staged in the 294 main compe- titive classes of the show. In addi- ton to these, hundreds of others are at work on exhibits not in competition.
