The Italian Legation puts out
propaganda in the form of Radio
Littorio, a publication not much
pushed or widely circulated. Until
the collapse of France the French
Legation put out Service Tele-
graphique, but that has been aban-
doned.
Apparently British propaganda
distributed here is based on Reuters.
French propaganda was based on
Havas. German propaganda is ap-
parently directly from the German
government.
There is no real press freedom in
Guatemala. The government, which
is Gen. Ubico, subScribes to the
major press services of the world,
translates the dispatches into Span
iSh, cenSors them if it sees fit and
turns over to newspapers and to

Guatemala Propaganda Hotbed
DESPITE Gen. Ubico's Ban
President-Dictutor
Overlooks Polite
Foreign Press
BY TOM WALLACE.

GUATEMALA CITY, March l.
(NANA0.-Guatemala is, despite
certain restrictive rules laid down
by Gen. Don Jorge Ubico, president
dictator, in the interest of order and
fairness, a hotbed of international
propaganda.
Gen. Ubico some time ago banned
certain forms of propaganda. The
British Legation and the German
Legation no longer are permitted
to give away, at legation doors pre-
miums, such as cigarettes, to attract
readers to their mimeographed Of
ferings of war news and political
news. Moreover. they are no longer
permitted to hand the mimeo-
graphed sheets out of their doors
lest, perhaps, crowds collecting
might be in some way creators OF
undesirable situations.
Brown Shirt paradeS, Swastikas
are not allowed. Propaganda films
such as New York suffers, are not
permitted. The rule applies to the
various nations equally.
International news favorable to
British interests is circulated in the
newspaper Actualidad, apparently
under British subsidy, published by
Guatemalans. 1t is we'll written
and has circulation of 10000 in
Central America. mostly to nom
paying readers.
Germans Propaganda.
Transocean is a press service
distributed in behalf of Germany
and Luz is weekly newspaper
devoted to German propaganda
apparently subsidized by German
funds, probably locally supplied as
Guatemala Germans seem to sepd
money to rather than receive money
from the Hitler organization.

the highway. and the other car had been going so fast"

Bills sunburned face was still, closed up, unreadable. He sat down on the sofa, drawing his wife beside him with hands that were suddenly very strong. She felt his fingers bit- ing into her arm, and saw the line of his mouth tighten. Suppose you tell me about it, Martha?"
 "Oh, Bill, don't get worked up! Really, I'm not hurt at all. He couldn't help it, don't you see? We turned into the highway - we had been talking. Paul said the office was so busy I ought to come back and hire woman to do the work here '"
 Bill was listening in silence. With the look on his face. With his eyes telling her nothing. She went on, desperately, We just got so absorbed, talking, that we turned out-and the other car was speeding"
 Eugene, strengthened his Shoul- der, put in, "So he wanted you to hire a woman to look after the place here, eh?"
 He thought it was too hard for me"
 Bills big hand dropped to her knee. He caught sight of the bruises under her stocking. That's from last night?"
 "Yes, but it doesn't amount to anything Sine leaped to her feet. Darling, please don't make tragedy out of an unimportant little accident. We ought to go and see Paul. He's the one who's in the hospital"
 "Bad?"
 No. The doctor said broken collar bone and concussion. He sounded all right on the phone a little while ago."
 Eugene said. Take my car. Don't forget to look in on Helen, too" ...--,,.s...
 All the way to the hospital, Mar tha tried to be natural with Bill. She kept her voice light, asked him about camp, laughed about the ac- cident. But his answers were short, and behind the eyes that told her nothing, she was afraid Bill was painfully fumbling with the fact that Paul had driven up here after her. Once he said, Why didn't he mail you the check?"
 "Oh, he wanted to see how I was doing, too, I guess. After all the office is busy and-maybe they told him to talk me into coming back :"
 That curious constraint was still between them as they walked into Paul's room at the hospital. It was there as Martha hung back, letting Bill speak first.
 So you got my wife all scratched up, you worm!' Bill cried. But the heartliness was brit

tie, some of the easy good-fellow- ship there had always been be- tween the two men was absent. Or, perhaps, Martha told herself, she was only imagining it.
 Paul was propped up on the pil- lows. There was bandage around his arm and shoulder. He did not look ill. T wish they'd let me out of here"
 "Let you out? You ought to be in jail!" Bill roared. Taking my wife out and nearly killing her"
 Pauls swift vince was too real. Bill said, hastily, Heck, fella, I'm just kidding. Lucky it was no worse. Don't take it to heart, Paul. Accidents will happen"
 gratefully. Everything was going to be all right. The door opened. A nurse looked in. Another visitor for you, MT. Elliott"
 Suzanne Decker, her arms full of flowers, came into the room. Martha stiffened in surprise. Paul, too, was looking at Suzanne in undisguised amaZement. How did you find out so quickly?" he asked. T phoned you at the office early this morning. Your chief engineer told me you were in the hospital" She ran to the bed. Paul how are you? All the way out here kept thinking the most awful things! He only said you'd been in an acci- dent - he wouldn't give me any details, said he didn't know" She looked at the white bandages around his shoulder. You're badly hurt! That bandage-"
 "The awful truth is broken colarbone," Paul said. Your nasty trip, while compliment of course, simply isn't justified by the injuries" He was smiling, now, but Martha sensed the annoyance under his bantering.
 Martha was in that accident, too," came Bills voice, from the other side of the bed. Don't you care what happens to her, Su- zanne?"
 He meant 1t lightly, of course. He was teasing - going on with the bantering Paul had begun. But it was exactly the wrong thing to say, Martha realized with horror.
 For Suzanne's red lips were tightening grimly, and flame leaped into those gray eyes. Even while Martha's own eyes flew to Su- zanne's pleadingly, in the thick silence which settled, the savage fury which Bills well-meant teas ing had caused went mounting.
 Suzanne cried, Why should I care whta happens to Martha, Bill Marshall? You blind fool. if she had only let Paul alone this would never have happened!"

A special dispatch o. tie ncWs-

Press by the official Russian news
agency Tass, described the desp u
ate nature of fighting to the Wes..
1t said the Germans had thrown
into the battle near Mozhaisk a Ill

and a tank brigade, drawn from
the Leningrad front, an a new mo
torized infantry division The Ger
mans pushed back the Russians in
this sector late Saturday. Pravda
said, and in the nearby Maloyaro-
SlavetS region the Germans flanked
a Russian fortified zone, though
they we're then stopped.
Russian guns smashed tank
wedge which broke through at one
village, Pravda said.
1t was added that surrounding
Russian units were fighting their
way back to the main forces i'll big
groups.
Low clouds and rain were re-
ported hampering air activity on
both sides, but Pravda said That
nevertheless Russian bombing planes
were attacking German tank con-
centrations, which spaarhcaded the
German drive for MOSCOW.

Hoover Pleads for
Efforts TO Feed
Starving Children

NEW YORK, Oct. 20. tUP)-
Former President Herbert Hoover
renewed his appeal last night for
the distribution of food among the
civil populations of German-con-
quered Europe. where millions of
children are in jeopardy of star
vation
He said he had asked the state
department to enlist the aid Of
some of the remaining neutral gov
ernmentS, such as Switzerland,
Sweden, Argentina or Ireland. to
act as trustee for these hapless peo-
pie" and had been rebuffed in
curt letter.
II do not believe it would make
the slightest difference in the mil
itary outcome of this war if we
assured food to the needy among
the whole 100000 democratic
children of Europe he said. "The
Germans will not lose this war
from a shortage of food. And emf
nent soldiers agree with me-
The proposal made to the state
department, he said, called for the
Germans to supply bread-stuffs,
of which they were said to have a
surplus, while fats and special food
for children were sent through the
British blockade. Germany was to
refrain from taking native food
products and a neutral government
was to supervize distribution.
The Germans went long way
toward the agreement he said.
The British decided against it. al
though it was to be safeguarded to
meet their every military objection.
The starvation we forecast
year ago and which we hoped to
prevent has swept over many of
these innocent people during the
last winter
Mr.. Hoover said survey of Bel
GUM by leading physicians three
months ago showed AT per cent of
the children in kindergartens, 63
per cent of the primary schools and
AZ per cent of the higher schools
were in a definitely weak con-
dition"
A report from Warsaw placed
July deaths among Jews at Is times
the normal rate.
The municipal newspaper was
appealing to the people not to
throw corpSes in the streets he
said NORMALLY, the birth rate
there exceeds the death rate, but
among children the death rate was
10 times the birth rate.
