Trespassing-



lclaring that the famous air general was
killed while experimenting with Sec
ret weapon Evidently sensing that
it had displeased the nazis, and anx-
ious to get into line, final dispatch
from Vichy came over the wires con-
Vichy and Berlin some time to get
together on what happened"
But, whatever the truth, Hitler lost
no time in ordering state funeral
for Udet-as he did for Gen. Won
Fritch earlier in the war. Won Fritch,
it appears, fell victim to nazi bullet
fired from the rear, since there were
no Polish bullets coming over his way
that could have obligingly done the
job for the Fuehrer.
And Hitler sent plenty of flowers
to Udet's funeral, you can be sure,
as he did to Won Fritch's Chicago
gangsters also have habit of sending
flowers to the dear brethren" whom
they send to Kingdom Come.
Fish Out of Luck
Rep. Hamilton Fish, New York iso-
| lationist, didn't raise himself in the
estimation of his colleagues in the
house when he asked the house to in
woke it's privileges" so that he would
MT have to appear before District
of Columbia grand jury to testify.
The grand jury, which is investi-
eating nazi propaganda, and which has
indicted his secretary, George Hill, on
two counts of corrupt perjury, sub
poened Fish after he had declined to
appear before the grand jury volun-
tarily.
The house, after giving Fish short
"reprieve," has not given him permits
sion" to testify before the grand jury
at any time that the house is not ac-
tually sitting in session In fact house
members said that Fish should be only
too glad, as a good, American citizen,
to tell the grand jurors what he
knows.
Fish definitely has given the i'm
preston that he has something to
fear by testifying
Apparently, Fish's secretary was a
key man in nazi propaganda ring.
He admitted having received $4,000
in few months, ostensibly in con-
nection with the rings activities, but
has refused to divulge the source of
the money. Grand jurors feel that
Fish can enlighten them on that score
and aid them in unearthing the |
rings Vaccinations.
One of the counts on which Hill was |
indicted was that he swore under oath |
that he did not know nazi propagan-
dist George Sylvester Viereck, also
under indictment. The grand jurors
found out that he knew him quite
well.
Try To Avoid British Mistakes
SPAB's recent order to discard the
entire system of priorities and to sub
stitute therefor an ALLEGATIONS system
is said to be result of a study under
taken of British methods. The study
was for the purpose of benefitting
from British experience and to avoid
their mistakes.
The British government has found
that it can obtain greater control over
of defense and other items
through the ALLEGATIONS system than it
can through priorities- is in a far
better position at all times to know
exactly what industry is doing. Mere
icc mi Of !
give the government the degree of
control over production needed in
time of war, or emergency.
One of the vexing problems being
tackled in the defense setup
IS that of eliminating Implications,
which, admittedly, are very great and
hamper defense.
For example, when Leasing Rosen-
valid recently took over the expanded
division he found con-
servation activities conducted by /
many different governmental agen- /
,ies, each working independent of the !
other - scattered "all over the lot"
He is now bringing all of these to- :
5ether, co-ordinating their activities, :
md developing real program of con- :
'ervation taking in everything from
steel to clothes pins and coat hangers. {
