Color Makes No Man
l like to meet man
Who is glad that he is black,
Who is conscious of his color
And realizes the fact.
I like to meet a man
Who is glad that he is white,
For color makes no difference,
Any color's all right.

Who strictly understand,
That character makes the person
And no color makes no man.

nit greater flow of fuel oil into
the Atlantic Coast States was urged
today before special House COM
mittee by Walter P. Hedden, direc-

the country to assume its part in
the curtailment."
The degree to which the other
States would be restricted by ra-

compared to the restriction in the
East Coast States.
Extension of rationing, he sug-
guested. might only be necessary
until December l, by which time
additional supplies could be brought
into the East.
Senator Walsh, Democrat, of

Who Just Found
There's a War
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July 31-A 29-year-
old bearded German alien, the FBI
disclosed yesterday, didn't know of
the war with Germany until two
weeks ago when fire in his secluded
Maine shack forced him back to CIV
ilization. He now is at Ellis Island
for internment as an enemy alien.

three years of living the life of a
Rip Van Wrinkle and desired to
return to Germany to fight against
the United States the FBI said.
Reports that a bearded German
had inquired along the Hudson
River waterfront about passage to
Germany led to his arrest. His
name was not disclosed.
The FBI said the man came to
the United States in 1923 and after
becoming tired and disguised with
world conditions" lost himself in
the woods about 100 miles from
Greenville, Me. in 1899.
P. E. Foxworth, assistant FBI d.
rector, said the alien lived by trap
ping wild animals. When his shack
burned he went to Greenville
bought paper, and learned for the
first time that Germany and the
United States were at war, Mr..
Foxworth added.

A Virginia Democrat and an Ohio
Republican offered the Senate diver

Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Vir-

Senator Byrd said THE fight
fight against imitation has reached a
critical stage" Senator Taft said he
thought the immediate danger OF
imitation has been exaggerated
In fact, the Ohioan declared, Labor
Department statistics show that the

costs in 1925.
True, there has been an increase
of Is per cent in the last two years

be alarming If it were not accelerat-

Senator Byrd expressed his firm
opposition to Government subsidies
as a substitute for about price con-
troll.
Subsidies would cost billions OF
dollars and would encourage waste
and ineficiency in private business,
the Vilginian asserted.
Senator Taft said that in financ.

be raised by taxes as can be raised

by the Government to testify against
Mr.. Molzahn, now on trial on a
charge of violating the 1917 Espion-
age Act by conspiring to furnish
Germany and Japan with American
military secrets.
DR.. Platter, now proprietor OF a
scientific laboratory in Staten Is
land. N. Y, said he had taught in
several German schools. but had
been forced to abandon that profess
sion in 1888 because II wrote and
spoke against Hitler and the Nazi

on a ship on which he was returning
to Altoona. Hamburg suburb and
his native city, for a visit five years
ago and had lot of conversations"
with the Philadelphia clergyman
who, he said, wore Nazi party en-
hlem in his bottonhole.
Mr.. Molzahn discussed with him
his discharge from his teaching post,
DIR. Platter said, and he quoted
the pastor as saying, IF you want
to come back into the good graces
OF the party you have to come to
good terms with the leaders of
the party and could be of help"
On the final day of the ocean
voyage, DR.. Platter said. Mr.. Mol
zahn gave him card to one DR..
Berendsmann, whom the New
Yorker identified as chief of the
Gestapo in Altoona.
