BY Radio to The Star.
BERN, Feb. 27.-How the Nazi-
ruled but doggedly loyal Dutch in
occupied Holland still preserve their
unShakable faithfuhess to their
rightful sovereign is astonishingly
enough revealed in an article
published by no less q German
newspaper than the Voelkischer
Beobachter, official organ of the
Nazi party, copies Of which arrived
here today.
Some days ago, says the article, a
plane flew over Holland dropping
hundreds of packages of cigarettes
bearing Queen Wilhelmina's royal
coat of arms and greetings to her
subjects inscribed with the age-old
Orange war cry, "Oranje zal over
winnen" (Orange shall VIM. The
Dutch patriots bought the cigarettes,
eagerly paying prices up to SO horines
($25) q package.
The Voelkischer Beobachter story
of the Queen S kind gesture" further
discloses this monstrous Nazi finan-
cial fake as perpetrated on the loyal
Dutch by the Nazi-picked Quisling
Anton Mussert, stating that both
cigarettes and printed packages we're
manufactured and sold by Mussert
adherents. 1t concludes, with tri-
umphant cynicism, that the Orange
cigarettes brought the Dutch Ma
tional Socialist party, which DR..
Mussert heads, a tribute of 10000
f1orins, the equivalent of $4,000,
from its worst enemies.

From Local 0. T.. D.
Chief Raid Warden
Defends Loyalty Of
Mrs. Montgomery

Removal from office Of Mrs. Sarah
v. Montgomery, volunteer worker in
the local Office of Civilian Defense,
was called for yesterday by the Dis
trict of Columbia Federation of
Women's Clubs in a resolution that
declared her presence is inimical
to the safety and best interests of
the citizens of the District of Co.
lumbia."
In adopting the resolution, the
federation instructed its legislative
department to seek Mrs. Mont
gomerys removal.
Mrs. Montgomery directed a
peace" picket line in front of the
White House last year. This ac-
tivity was stopped when Germany
invaded Russia.
Declared Efficient.
The federation's action was fol-
lowed today by a concerted defense
of Mrs. Montgomery by Chief Air
Raid Warden Clement Murphy. He
said she was one of the hardest and
most efficient workers he had and
he was ready to 60 "all out for her"
II don't think the past views Of
people should be considered at a
time like this" he added. I'VE are
trying to achieve national unity to
win the war. I don't know anything
about Mrs. Montgomery's former &C
tivities. I do know she volunteered
to help in this office and she has
been putting in long hours without
pay, doing more than her share of
work and helping us organize and
supervise the Districts air raid
service"
Mr.. Murphy said Mrs Montgomery
had tried to resign several weeks
ago, when local newspaper printed
her picture and recalled her pre-
vious work as White House picket.
After a conference with Col. Lemuel
Bolles, director of civilian defense
for the District, she consented to
remain.
Formal Request Awaited.
At the Office of Col. Bolles, 1t was
said the demand Of the Federation
of Women's Clubs would be con-
sidered when it was brought formally
to the attention Of the local o. G. D.
The federation's resolution was
introduced by Mrs. Mary Wright
johnson, supported by Mrs. Ernest
Howard.
Mrs. Montgomery said today she
planned to confer with Chief
Murphy over the resolution.

FANCY WORK

The sabotage ring promptly and completely
,prooted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation
smacked Of something out of fiction, but it goes to
show that in wartime even more than peacetime
truth can be stranger than fiction
From the Nazi point of view, the elaborate plot
could have had more dismal denouement. Not only
were all eight of the submarne-landed German ag-
ents captured but presumably their ties to fifth col
umnists in this country traced.
Two things especially noteworthy about the
affair One is the length to which the German Gov
eminent evidently forced to go in attempting to
organize sabotage ring. 1t has been widely sup
posed that there were great many German agents
and sympathizers already in the United States who
were prepared to act at Berlns direction. This is
not entirely disproved of course but at least it is
