Fritz Thyssen DenOunces Hitler

Fritz Thyssen, former German
Industrialist, who backed Hitler on his
rise to power, now laments his contri-
button to Hitler. And for good reas-
on. Thyssen was deprived of his es-
tates in Germany and all his wealth an
industries and would have been depriv
ed of his head, if Hitler's Gestapo
could have laid hold of him.
MI. Thyssen presents his case a.
gainst Hitler in Liberty Magazine. 1t
is a good story.
Employment has grown apace in

Dear Editor:

Omana, Nebraska,
Dear Editor:
Highway crashes in July left
Nebraska's road strewn with the
lives Of SO people. Not since Oct
ODER of 1937-forty-five months a
go-have we suffered the disas-
trous effects Of losing that many
lives. Then al died.
More than a life a day was sac
rificed in those July accidents.
Unfortunately our record must
show that 25 Nebraska counties,
including Douglas County, were
affected by those experiences. Six
persons had died by July 49, rs
other names were added to the
death list in the last nineteen days.
Certainly there must be some
thought or effort given to stem
the tide. We have all been eau
toned against the expected in
crease in accident frequency dur
ing this season. In view of the
record which lies ahead as a cha1-
lenege, we again call upon every
one to travel safely. We cannot
by any means replace the lives of
the 129 who have died. But we
can all do our share to prevent fur
ther accident losses. The Nebras-
ka motor vehicle fatality record
depends on all of US.
Yours very truly,
Department Of Law Enforce
ment and Public Safety.

Capt. Nebr. Safety Patro.

Yorker, in whose speech the local
idiom and infection are unmistak-

ative handmaiden to the Negro

with the Loew's Circuit and began
to book and manage Negro legiti-

he explained. The six to eight fea-
lures released each year through
international Roadsshows, Inc, the
Goldberg distributing company,
cost about $4,000 and usually
gross twice that amount. These
films, he estimates, play to a
weekly audience of 100000 in ap-
proximately 500 theatres in the

about seven days with a full crew

some films with Bill Robinson,
