BOY, l5, NABBED
 IN STOLEN AUTO
Greenfield, Mass, Cops Make Arrest - Faces
 Local Charge Later

Wanted in Waterbury for theft of $l53 and a .25 caliber revolver from the General oil company gasoline station on North Main and Grove streets, a 15-year old juvenile was arrested last night by Greenfield, Mass, police when found in possess sion of a stolen car from Lowell, Mass. He was turned over to Lowell authorities.
 Lieut.. William Pollard reported this morning the youth was turned over to the Lawrence authorities and after the juvenile delinquent'c case is disposed there he will be returned to this city to face the other charge.
 The youth was employed at the General Oil company as a gasoline station attendant and October 19 when he closed the station at p. m. he failed to return with the days receipts, Fred F'alzone, man. ager of the company, reported to the police.
 The youths home was kept under surveillance by local detectives since the theft from the local oil company but he failed to return.

lax in providing playground and other recreational facilities, and promised to work for expansion of such facilities.
 Thomas Conley was elected party treasurer and political agent. It was voted to send out over 5000 cards to voters, urging them to "Vote Independent = Be Inde- pendent.
 Said MT. Wall during his speech:
 Through our three campaigns we have aroused five or six thorlsL and Democratic voters who will never be satisfied as long as the party is dictated to by two or three men," he said.
 For the past 20 or 25 years the Democratic party has failed to open its caucuses in the voting districts for the proper selection of dele- gates to conventions. The candi- dates on the Democrtic ticket in 1889 and l941 were selected at the same sort of controlled conven- tions as the party has always held. The voting public at large was ex- cluded. The so-called reform was mere gesture to satisfy public opinion, and the actual control of the party's IS or 20 thousand voters is held in the hands of two or three men.
 "The present Democratic party is closed corporation. It is pretty obvious that the present Demo- cratic leaders are figureheads and that the real power behind the scenes is J. Francis Smith, ex- chairman of the state central com mittee."

 The volunteer office urges again that all residents of Waterbury who wish to make some contribution to the vast campaign of defense, can be of inestimable value by enrolling for the training course for volun- teers to work with children, which is scheduled to start on the third of November. Both men and wo- men are urged to register for the course, which will be under the di- rection of Mrs. Peterson.
 An additional appeal was made today fo rmore candidates for the nurses aide training courses, which are also to start very soon in both the local hospitals. Because of the large proportion of appli- cants who are unable to meet the rigid requirements, the number en- rolled with the Civilian Defense Vol unteer office is still insufficient to warrant beginning the courses. All those interested in taking the eighty hours of training as assistants at the Waterbury and St. Mary's hos pitals, who have high school educa- tion and the necessary free time, are urgently asked to visit the office for an interview with Mrs. Arthur Mountain.
 More men are also needed for the first aid courses being given by Louis Laun at the Medical Associa- tion building. After completing the

F rec GermansS Seeking
 To Overthrow Hitler
Forces From Within on Threshold of Success De,
 clares Dr. Otto Strasser; Sabotage Continues

The NaI government is being un- dermined by fifth column of Free Germans and, like other governments weakened by this in- sidious boring from within, it soon will fall That's the threat of Dr. Otto StraSser,. head of the Free German Movement, in his article in the November issue of Coronet magazine on the Nazis' fear of the Free German menace. "Hitler's fall is even nearer today than it was eight years ago." claims Strasser, probable key to the end of Hitler and Hitlerism. And tomorrow the Reich will be ours-once more the sacred property Of Free, Germans"
 Hitler Hating
 From his headquarters in Canada, Hitler-hating Strasser is directing the activities of hundreds of spies and informants working to restore liberty loving Germans to control of the German government. That Otto StrasSer is not merely harmless, flag-waving patriot, but a serious threat to Hitler rule is indicated by the price of $40O,000 the Nazis are offering for his capture-dead or alive. For the Free Germans, claims the Coronet article, have already consolidated all opposition to NaZi- ism within Germany itself. Ever since 1885 sabotage has been prac- ticed-everywhere. But another means of opposition they are now promoting is passive resistance. "As a result" insists Strasser in Coro- net, there is not single day that the Goering offices do not receive reports of factories falling behind schedule; of mines not producing their fixed quota. And you have read in papers of bombs falling over English cities and failing to ex- plode; of torpedoes strangely veer- ing from their course. These are not coincidences. To reduce the effective labor of the Nazis is one of the trumpS of the Free German movement"
 As proof that the Nazis are feel ing the effects of this campaign, Strasser discloses the secret address delivered by Heinrich Himmler, Chief of Nazi Secret Police, to a meeting of Nazi "bigs" just a few days before Hitler marched into Russia. Gentlemen" said Himm- Ter. "let us not ignore the facts = today we have vicious enemy right here within the heart of Ger many. I am instructed by the Fuehrer to stamp out that menace. But to do so I will need five hun- dred thousand additional men be- cause growing unrest makes the employment of larger forces imper- ativel" A rquest for one-half mil- Hon additional men, says Coronet, betrays an organized opposition which Hitler fears as surely as he fears Churchill.
 Illegal Br0adcasts
 Another effective weapon used by the Free Germans is underground, or Illegal, broadcasting. And it may be the most successful weapon be- cause of the nature Of the system Hitler has set up to force his will an ths people. He has taught the
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-10-28

German people to obey without question, and even if the people don't obey the counter commands by the Free German Government, at least these opposing decrees may start them thinking about fighting for freedom and justice.
 And so Otto Strasser is setting up a Government in Exile, proposing to put as its head famous Germans such as Thomas Mann whose names still carry great weight in their own country. Such men, he claims, can carry out the program for freedom which he is drawing up. '"This Free German Government in Exile,' '' says Strasser in Coronet, lis our greatest need. With it-tomorrow- Germany will once again be ours."

Work Begun
On Neu Road
At Northfork

The state highway commits
sion last week began actual
work on the road through
Northfork.
For many years the stretch
of highway leading through the
city has constituted a bottle
neck to through traffic in the
uptown portion. Construction
work begun consists of widen
ing the right-of-way by tear
ing down several buildings and
removing about ten feet Of the
front part Of several others.
The projected road will be as
in Keystone-three lane and a
sidewalk. The job when COM
pleted, will give this section
fine highway from Bluefeld to
Maitland. And as construction
is under way there, probably to
the county line.
Route US. 50 is the only road
leading to big towns which
serves Keystone, and as it is an
important North-South route we
are delighted to see it grow bit
by bit toward the highway the
southern tier of counties will be
best serve by.
It is our understanding that
the level Of sidewalk and high
way in Northfork will be adj
iusted uniformly from one end
of the town to the other.
