Lorraine
Miller in
Big Day

7 ORRAINE MILLER, R-K-O's
IL protege. may never reach the
heights OF movie fame--she may
never receive a pay check in
scribed with box car figures and
she may be shipped back from
Hollywood without ever again
appearing with Gary Cooper. =
But Lorraine will be satisfied
for she's had her day. Her
first big thrill came when she
was hired to appear in Ball OF
Fire" with Gary Cooper and
Barbara Stanwyck.
But the really big thrill came
this week. For then her home
town Of Flint paid her homage.
1t was HER day, officially
.known as Lorraine Miller Day"
and for "a hours she was queen
of the city with stiff-collared
city officials bowling from the
waist and shiny-faced auto
workers smiling at their girl"
II was as their girl"-the
"CIO Rodeo Queen"-that Lor-
raine won her chance in Holly
wood.
She was Just a pretty. 19-year-
old telephone girl who had at
tended Michigan State College
for a short time when she won
the CLIO title.
Her arrival In Hollywood
caused no stir. She was just an
other of the thousands who
make their way TO the movie
capital.
Finally, however, she landed a
Job in Earl CAROLS Theater
Restaurant and a few months
later was engaged as a practical
nurse on the Ball of Fire" set.
There she was spotted by Di-
rector Howard Hawks and be-
tween Hawks and Samuel Cold
wyn. Lorraine received her start
in pictures.
Some 5000 turned out for her
reception in F'lint--many OF
them paying TO see her. Norman
Durkin, the famous badminton
champ, also appeared. The
profits went to the C1O welfare
fund.
Durkin. who now earns his
living teaching slim Hollywood
stars TO stay slim by playing
badminton. put on exhibition
matches with Flint's champions.
II was a tired Lorraine who
ended the special day-but she
was happy.

Others on Death List

Other prominent personalities
whose death warrant Skoblevsk.
had issued were Hugo SHINES
Germanys richest man, ano
Privy Councillor Borsig, the
head of the German steel trust
Felix Neum a n was put in
charge of both undertakings
Tchekists Swallowed SHINES and
invaded his residence at the Ho-
tel Esplanade in Berlin. Felix
Neumann's men also closed in on
Borsig's villa in Tegel, a fash
ionable suburb.
A strike of the steel workers
was in progress the party chiefs
hoped that Borsig's death would
raise the strike to a more vio-
lent, revolutionary pitch.
Attempts to kill SHINES and
Borsig failed. The steel strike
ended in defeat.
Weeks Of maneuvering to take
the lives Of leading figures did
not detract the T-Apparat from
it's chief task - counter-espi-
onage and the silencing of police
spies in the Communist organiza-
lions. The death-list included a
certain Wetzel, head of the Com
munist unit in the textile work
ers' union; Police Commissioner
Schlotter, in charge of the anti
Communist drive in southern
Germany. and others.
But what proved to. be the
undoing of Skoblevski and his
secret division was the assas-
sination of one Rausch in Bcr-
lin. Rausch was a member of
the party and also an under
cover agent of the Berlin politi-
cal police, and in touch with
the Hitler movement.
Suspicion first fell on Rausch
through the alertness of Hugo
Marx in Hamburg. About the
middle of October, a motor lorry
loaded with rifles and hand
grenadcs, on its way from Stet-
tin 10 Communist Hundreds of
the Weser country in the west,
was held up by Fascist detach-
ments on the highway between
Lubbock and Hamburg. Two of
Skoblevski's German assistants,
in charge Of the arms consign-
ment, put up a resistance and
were killed.

Out Of the Night

Of Reichswehr officers, all of
them armed 10 the teeth.
Finally a 17-year-old girl,
Amy Gerber. was assigned by
Felix Neumann to cultivate a
love affair with one of General
Won Seeckt's orderlies or stable
men. The plan was to hide a
Tchekist on the grounds of the
generals official villa, and to
shoot him off his horse before
his fellow officers could join him.
The girl was frightened, and
Felix Neumann threatened TO
have her killed If she did not
follow orders.
Amy succeeded in finding a
lover among the generals men,
but. it seems, she fell in love
with him herself. General Won
SeeCkt was warned, and stopped
riding. And Skoblevski decreed
t he assassination of Amy
Gerber.
A stormy session between
Neumann and Skoblevski fol-
lowed. Felix Neumann feared
that he might he discharged for
incompetence. To be discharged
meant to be killed. He later adj
mitted before a high court of
the German Republic that he
had feared for his own life. The
G.. p. l.. never allows those who
know too many secrets to retire.
The session ended with a COM
mand by Skoblevski:
"NOn Seeckt must die within
three days.
So a last attempt was made
in December, 1923. General Won
Seeckt had gone to Weimar, but
when he returned to Berlin, G..
p. l.. men were waiting for him
in the main hall of the Anhalter
Bahnhof, among them Felix
Neumann himself. All were
armed with new Ortgies pistols
Won Seeckt sensed trouble. He
waited in his train until the
arrival of the guards he had
summoned. Surrounded by Of
ficials and station detectives, he
swept through the station to the
waiting automobile of the war
ministry. After the decisive de-
feat of the German Communist
Party in the following weeks,
Karl Radek, through Brandler
ordered that the plans to kill
Won Seeckt be dropped.

That's not the way. The
man must die"
One Maintains Silence

Most Of the captured terror
lists gave way under a year OF
police pressure. But Skoblevski
himself admitted nothing. He
maintained stubbornly that he
was a Russian student stranded
in Germany. that his arrest was
a mistake, that he had never set
eyes on any of the other men
in custody.
The trial before the Supreme
Court of Leipzig lasted nine
weeks. Felix Neumann, Sko-
blevski and a third G.. P. L. man
were condemned to death. The
others received long terms in
prison. Between two court hear
ings an attempt was made in
prison 10 assassinate Felix Neu-
mann, the traitor. He was struck
on the head, but escaped.
Before the Leipzig trial began,
silent drive was inaugurated
by Felix Dzerjinsky, founder of
the Tcheka and supreme chief
of the G.. p. T.. in Soviet Russia,
to liberate General Skoblevski.
AS his tool Dzerjinsky chose the
21-year-old but INSCRIPTIONS
Heinz Neumann, who was the
son of a wealthy Berlin grain
dealer.
Heinz Neumann, later a mem
Der of the Reichstag and one of
the most talented agents Of the
Comintern, acted in 1923 as
liaison man between the G.. p. u.
and the Comintern headquarters
in Moscow and the German Com
munist Party.
Three young Germans who
had come TO Moscow in 1923
under the auspices of Berlin
party headquarters were invited
TO drinking bouts by Heinz Neu-
mann. One of the three, DR.. Carl
Kindermann, betrayed peculiar
tendencies. This, and a few criti-
cal remarks about the conditions
in the Soviet Union, gave Heinz
Neumann a preteXt to denounce
the three TO the G.. p. u.
They were arrested and
charged with having been sent
to Russia by the secret Fascist
organization Consul" to assas-
sinate leading Soviet officials.
