their inquiry along two channels
to determine the motive-first
Krivitsky's financial circumstances
and, second, his fear he would
meet the same fate as did Trotsky

TOLD DIES AIDE


There, too, was the statement
by DR.. B Matthews chief in
lvestigator for the special House
committee investigating .un-Amer-
lean activities-the Dies commit
tee-before which Krivitsky had
testified year ago-that the one
time agent of the Kremlin had
told him a month ago:
"They are going to get me
sure. Don't you ever believe
that I will be a suicide. They
have shot everybody else, and
they are going to get me"
Doctor Matthews identified the
body. at first identified as Waite.
Poref-that was the name Krivit-
sky used in registering al the
hotel Sunday-then as Samuel
tGinsberg, which was Krivitskys
real name before he began serving
Ia l7-year duty with the Soviet
military intelligence.
Federal handwriting exper
compared the writing of the note,
with KrivitskyS signature on the
hotel register, and other writing
found in his possession. and were
satisfied they were written by the
same hand.
They found. too, Is Is bullets Of
the same caliber and make. aS
those found in the automatic pistol
beside the dead mans body. One
bullet had been fired from the
pistol, through krivitsky's brain.
The door TO his room was locked
from the inside. Investigators
pointed out it had a special type
of lock which could be opened with
a pass key from the outside. but
could be latched only from the
inside. 1t was latched when a
maid found the body by opening
the door with pass key.

there seems to be plenty of
grounds for possible murder
He agreed. however. that these

Census Figures Show
9O7,8f6 in Capital
Metropolitan Area
Population Outside Of
City Reveals l0-Yeor
Guin Of 81 Per Cent

On April /, 1910, the Metropolitan
district of Washington had a popu-
lation of 907,816, an increase of 1885,
757, or 46.2 per cent over the 1880
total, the Census Bureau announced
today. The population outside the
city showed q gain of 82.4 per cent
during the decade, increasing from
134,190 in 1890 to 244,725 in 1910.
The population inside the city was
663 ,091, an increase of 36.2 per cent
during the 10-year period.
In addition to Washington, the
Metropolitan district includes con-
tiguous towns and minor civil di-
visions having a population of $50
or more per square mile, the Census
Bureau explained. Application of
this yardstick has added two dis
tricts not included in the 1880
compilation-district 10, In Laurel,
Md, and part of the Falls Church
(Va) district, outside the town OF
Falls Church. These two new areas
had a combined population ia 1910
of 9,089, as compared with $3.50
in 1880.
The population increase in the
area outside the city accounted for
385 per cent of the total gain in
the Metropolitan district, though
the population outside the city is
only 27 per cent Of the Metropolitan
district total.
The Washington Metropolitan dis
trict had 253,052 dwelling units in
April 1910, Of which 237,879 were
occupied, the Census Bureau re-
ported. OF the dwelling units in
the Washington Metropolitan dis
trict, 1888 were in the city and
67,659 outside. OF those in the
city, 9,999, or 5.4 per cent, and of
those outside the city. 3,093, or 4.e
per cent where vacant. and for sale
or rent when the 1910 census was
taken.
In addition to the vacant units
on the market, the returns showed
2,081 vacant units not for sale or
rent-1,685 in Washington and 1896
outside. There were dwelling units
held for absent households or oc-
cupied by those who reported that
their homes were located elsewhere
The average population per oc-
cupied dwelling unit. both in Wash
ington and outside, was 3.8 persons.

1t is interesting to note that in the
last economic accord negotiated by
DR.. Clodius the whole fiction of a
clearing account between the two
countries was dropped. Consequently,
Italian economy is no longer indie
pendent In any sense.
Having carefully prepared these
moves, the Germans waited until the
week before Christmas to strike.
Until then the Italians had seen
very little of the Germans. Uni
forms were not conspicuous. The
Germans were not untactful. The

Italy had become worse than des-
perate-the Italians were knocked
out and ready for separate peace.
Only Mussolini could prevent sepa-
rate peace and he could be main
tanned in power only by the arrival
Of the Germans in force.
BY mid-December the Germans
already controlled the italian rail-
way system. Suddenly, without warm
ing, 122 major train services in Italy
were suspended. In the eight weeks
beginning at the joyous Christmas
season those trains were devoted to
the task of hauling German troops
and German equipment into Italy.
The conquest was swift and COM
plete.
Italians In various parts Of the
country woke up to find that their
allies had them by the arm. The
owners of palatial homes answered
the knock to learn that their allies
wanted to requisition their homes
Two families I know of personally
tried to resist the very polite Ger
man inquiries and received prompt
orders from Rome that they were
to make their houses available to
the Germans Immediately.
When I left Italy the Germans
had placed two panzer division in
Libya and had three more in Sicily
which they hoped to move across
the Straits of Sicily. I estimated
without access to military informa-
ton that they had already placed
1.400 airplanes on Italian bases with
more coming daily and that for
these airplanes alone a ground and
land force of not less than 10000
men had been established at various
airdromes. Elsewhere, perhaps an
other 10000 German soldiers are
scattered through Italy "in transit"
or Gin special training"

This inflltration into every execu-

Public Morale Viewed As A Defense Problem
by FRANK L. KLUCKHOHN

WASHINGTON-Nationalm nor ale is not as good as it should be today to conduct a huge arm ament program or, if necessary, a war effort. That is the opinion of politicians, business men, la bor leaders, observers and tour ists from many walks of life pouring into the nations catpial from all parts of the country.
 It is reported in usually we'll informed Washington circles that the President has become suffi- ciently concerned about the prob lem of morale to consider placing Colonel William J. Donovan, ln- diligence Coordinator, in charge of an intensified campaign to build up domestic morale. Some of these reports go so far as to say that a detailed campagn al ready is being worked out.
 On the basis of information gained on a recent trip through the Midwest, where opposition to Administration policy is highest, it appears that the reasons for the somewhat weakened morale may be summarized as follows:
 l. Ths country is not formally al war, Many people find it diff cult to understand why they should face high taxes, forego pleasures and suffer in their nor mal business, while their sons un dergo lengthy periods of military service. at time when we are at peace"
 ?. There is a feeling among some groups that the Administra tion is not being frank about sit uations and policies. One feeling among some people is that the Administration is using the war as a cloak for spending policies. Confusion Over Russia
 3. Recent developments, includ ing the Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran and the decision to help So viet Russia, which implies oppo- stion to Finland, have caused be- wilderment among people who like their issues clear-cut.
 4. A section of the public thinks that the billions appro- priated for armaments are not being effectively spent. that the governments answer to prob lens is ito appropriate and not "to accomplish"
 5. Nazi propaganda, in part through reaction" stories from Berlin on each American devel- opment, takes advantage of each chance it finds. The Administra- ton is convinced that this pro- paganda draws help, willingly or unwittingly, from the opposition ists to present foreign policy.
 Most nonpartisan informants seem agreed that the reason for the somewhat damaged morale can be overcome and that more wholehearted support can be ob- tained for the armamentS pro- gram and any steps that may prove necessary. They seem to feel that the basic difficulties are that a clearcut reason for inten- sive action has not been sutfic- iently emphasized to the public. Viewpoints of the Public
 Unlike the British, who do their best work calmly, the Am ericans are capable of gigantic efforts only when their emotions and dramatic instincts are arOus- ed. They like a "cause." The Spanish American War was fought for Cuban freedom from Spanish oppression" and the World War in order to end all wars and to make the world safe for democracy.
 In the present war, it is the official position of the American government that the defeat of Hitler is essential to the safety of the United States, but that this end is going to be encom-

Churchill's FranknesS

Winson Churchill has told the British people exactly where they stand. Some of the Presi- dents friends, as well as critics think that MT. Roosevelt might well follow the Churchill policy They feel that the Executive had good reason for keeping a great deal to himself, but they express the feeling that these reasons be- came less important as the need for bolstering morale appears They are urging the President to travel across the country, and in a series Of speeches outline the situation with complete frank ness. They point out that the American people have listened to MT. Roosevelt as perhaps to no other Chief Executive and that each definite action he takes meets wide public approval.

tual American entry into hostil- ties. This. many reports declare, is regarded as an incongruity, leading to confusion in public thought.
 As the general opinion has it, many Americans seem unable to feel that liberty, independence and livlihood-all they hold dear can really be in serious dan ger if they are not actually call ed upto to fight for them. Some of these people have come to be- lieve that this must really be an expensive attempt to save the British Empire and defeat its enemy, who is not our enemy. Advantages of Policy
 There have been, without doubt, most critics agree, great advantages in the position the government has adopted. Unpre- pared at the start of the war, the United States probably has Wield ed more weight as potential in the world situation than as an active"
 Japanese aids have been held in check and the Germans, as ob servers see it, have not over-run unoccupied France, Spain and Portugal, partly because of the attitude adopted by this country toward the colonies of the latter three countries.
 And, in the opinion of many observers here, Mir. Roosevelt still thinks the United States can best serve in the campaign against Hitlerism as an arsenal instead of by putting an army in the field. Yet, to make effect i've an armaments program o1 sufficient scope to defeat Hitler and to assure the necessary pub lie sacrifice, it has become in creasingly apparent that unified public opinion and high morale are imperative, general opinior holds.
