The Swiss have no love for the
Nazis who come TO their quiet

brute Removed
As Pole Ruler

NEW YORK. Oct. % GNS).-
Germany's brutal governor gen.
eral in Poland. DR.. Hans Frank,
is reported TO have been removed
from office and arrested by the
Gestapo, the Polish information
center in New York stated today.
The Polish information center
said Frank had incurred the in
Icreasing wrath of the German
army for his failure TO reach a
compromise with the Poles. an
aim the Nazi militarists deem i'm
portant because of Poland's posi-
ton at the rear of the Russo-Ger-
man front.
The Gestapo is reported to have
shown growing dissatisfaction with
Franks failure to pacify the
Poles and to have accused him
of weaknesses" despite the
harshness of the measures he has
imposed on the Polish people.

War Plant Workers
Get Genuine Scare

The good citizens of Schaffhau-
sen. where the Fischer works are
producing parts for German war
machines, got a scare recently
that they shall not soon forget.
One day a squadron OF nine
Flying Fortresses appeared over
head without warning.
Their hearts stoppe q. They
thought the war was about TO
strike them at last.
But the planes continued on
their course.
Their destination, II has since
been learned. was probably Italy.
The theory was strengthened by
the recent raids on Genoa, Turin
and other cities in the heart of
Italy's industrial region.
One wonders whether the Ital-
ianS can stand up under the bomb
ings as we'll as the British, or even
as we'll as the Germans.
Perhaps bombing raids alone
will not force the Nazis or the
Fascists 10 their knees. but it
seems safe TO say they will UNI
doubtedly pave the way for their
eventual downfall.
AS for the Swiss, they are both
sad and glad when they hear
Cologne, Munich or some other
Nazi city has been bombed.
They feel sorry for the common
people of Germany. For the lead
ers of the Nazis they have only
hatred and revulsion. and they
wait hopefully for the day when
those leaders are no longer in
mower

D. c.. Delegate
In Congress
Is Discussed
Council Luncheon
Features Talks on
Paddock Proposal

The opinion that veteless dele
gate in Congress for the District OF
Columbia would be extremely useful
in giving information on the Capital
to members of the House was en-
phasized by Merlo Pusey, Washing
ton Post editorial writer, at an open
luncheon meeting of the District
legislative Council held yesterday
at the YWCA.
Mr.. Pusey was one OF several
members of the council who par
ticipated in a discussion on the
proposal by Representative Paddock,
Republican, of Illinois to give the
District an elected delegate In the
Lower Chamber.
Neither Seton Darr. who was to
have been the principal speaker,
nor Representative Paddock, who
was to have answered questions, was
able to attend.
Mrs. Louis Gutenberg, president of
the council, who presided at the
meeting. pointed out that the coun-
Gil, as a body, does not work Tor
legislation but acts as clearing
house of information on pending
bills.
Jesse c. Suter, member -at-large
of the council, expressed the fear
that provision for an elected dele
gate without voting powers would
delay the success of efforts to secure
voting representation for the Dis
trict in both house of Congress.
IF we all get together to work
for national representation as hard
as we would have to work to get
this" he declared, II think we could
get national representation"
Mr.. Pusey, however, argued that
an elected delegate would serve as
"pry" to open up the question of
better Government for the District
and for more complete representa-
ton in Congress.
He expressed the belief that the
people OF the city are unquestionably
in favor of national representation.
But anyone to vote for in the Dis
trict," he declared, would be a net
gain"
Harry Wender, vice president of
the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions, brought message from Rep
resentative Paddock expressing his
regret at his inability to attend the
luncheon because of absence from
the city.
He quoted Representative Pad
dock, however, as saying that from
Congress members point of view
it would be very valuable to have
in the House a person informed on
District affairs-voteless though he
might be. But whether the District
would be aided by such a delegate
would be up to the District, he
added.

Helpful Tips on Publicity
In Voters League Booklet
By Frances Lide.

Tips on Publicity" an 8-page
nimeographed handbook re-
leased this week by the National
League Of Women Voters repre-
sents another step taken by the
organization in its wartime OBJ
jective of extending the leagues
knowledge and understanding of
government to an ever widening
public"
Written by Virginia Mannon,
the leagues publicity secretary
and editor of its members mag
azine, it gives an explanation Of
news from the viewpoint of the
editor as we'll as from that Of
the organization worker.
Mrs. Mannon has dedicated
the booklet ito the publicity
chairmen whose business it is to
know what the league is doing
and to see that the rest Of the
world knows, too."
Although slanted for league
members, it should prove help
full guide for the publicity and
radio chairmen of almost any
woman's organization.
Pointing out that $4,000 words
of publicity material daily 60

tions the publicity chairman to

omcer, q quote from a bulletin
or other league publication.
Don't expect newspaper people
to be psychic. Give them facts.
Don't ask special favors.
Don't be fiowery."
Mrs. Mannon also urges pub
licity chairmen to watch your
timing"
Whats going on today is the
biggest news in today's news
paper" she says. IF the event
is important, tomorrow's coverage
also will be good. After that your
story is a dead dodo, and If you
missed the boat you'd better go
out and get new angle or dig
up a new story"
Mrs. Mannon doesn't believe
that the League of Women Voters
should confine its publicity efforts
to any one department of news
paper.
Hints are included on how to
get sympathetic attention from
the city desk, editorial writers,
columnists and wire services as
we'll as women's pages.
Catch a cartoonist" Is the
ambitious topic of one of her
paragraphs and letters to the
editor or vox pop" are suggested

think twice before submitting
shoddy piece of material"
Before turning in copy, she ad-
vises, ask yourself: "Is 1t a good
story2 Would you print 1t If you
were editor? Are the facts hon.
est and accurate?"
Mrs. Mannon also suggests
that the publicity chairman learn
to operate a typewriter, use a
good, bright ribbon and avoid
sending out carbons.
Submit your copy in plenty
OF time for handling" she con-
tinues. Know each papers dead
line and remember they wait for
no man."
Advising press chairmen to
concentrate on the leads" to
their stories, she continues: RE
member the shiniest, reddist ap-
Piles are always at the top Of the
barrel. That's a trick to attract
you as a customer. The newspa-
pers put the most arresting fea-
ture at the beginning of the
story. That's to tempt you to

She also includes a few i'm
portant "don'ts."
