He Meant
 What He Said

The eighth anniversary of Hit 1er's assumption of power in Ser lin was January g. This is not exactly a holiday for other. coun- tries, regardless of how the Ger mans may have felt about it, but in view of what has happened since, it can scarcely be ignor- el. No other single event of the decade has cost the world so much.
 When Hitler assumed the Ger man chanceIorship, few read the significance of the day. So astute an analyst as H, V. Kaltonborn wrote (NeW Republic, Feb. 15, 1933), He is sworn to obey the Constitution and is likely to do so. The time for a Fascist coup d'etat is past - the March 5 el- ection - will not give Adolf Hit Ter the opportunity to establish his long-heralded Drittes Reich. y Many others, no less Wel-inform ed, felt the same way. This was to be just another phase in the disorderly history of postwar Germany.
 It was, unfortunately six years before Europe began to take Adolf Hitler seriously. The world did not take him seriously when he said at a mass meeting shortly after becoming chancellor:
 We want a break with what a rotten brand of democracy has produced and req ize that all that is great can be produced only by the strength of individual person ality and that all that is. to be preserved must be entrust-d | again to ability and individual personality, while the parliament ary-democratic system must be fought"
 The average reader shrugged and added mentally, 'in Ger many" And he didn't care much what happened within Germany, especially since it had been tes- tering on the edge of going Com muaist anyway. So we all turned to our own domestic troubles, which were plenty.
 Had Hitler confined himself to abolisning parliamentary govern ment within Germany, nobody Wou have cared much except those Germans who still loved liberty (and there were some). But n-xt came the effort to eX- tend it to Czechs, Poles, Norweg fans, Dutch, Belgians, French and Danes.
 Thus the smallness once again, of our complex world. An ob- scure and rather ridiculous-ap- bearing politician comesto power in Germany in 1883, and at the end of l940 nine nations grovel in the dust of conquest and a coral atoll in the far South Seas is shelled by a passing raider. So far echo the repercussions O. that January 23, 1883.
 Now at last we learn that when Hitler said, just before becom- ing chanc Tor, the parliament iary-democratic system must be fought" he meant just that.

Raleigh, oct. 27.-StutIstics from

A telephone call brought Sher-
iff w. s. Rogers and his deputy
and coroner within a few min

Lambright from her coma. but
the 2S-year-old widow mumbled
incoherently; and when grandpa
Lambright had repeated his
story, both groups went to the
home in the woods.
They found 32-year-old Walker
Lambright dead on the floor of
the kitchen, a jagged hole in his
chest.
The only weapon about the
place, a shotgun, hung on horns
on the wall. A careful examina-
ton with a pocket magnifying
glass showed small fingerprints
covering larger ones on stock
and barrel.
Sheriff Rogers frowned at the
announcement.

A discussion followed on the
question of which sheriff should
take charge of the body. II

pointed out a dead pine knob

They returned to the Karl
Lambright house where they
separated; Sweeton returning to
Athens and Rogers telephoning
in TO Palestine for warrant
charging Mrs. Lambright with
murder.
The simple statement that
she had confessed quoted the
family's expostulations over her
