First Hand Glimpse of Intrigue

well worth the reading of any
American sincerely interested
in what makes the Nazis tick, in
the series of events which led
up to the present worldwide
conflagration and the psychol-
ogy of those who are now en-
emies of the United States. AS
Oeschner frankly states the
book is not just the product of
one man; rather it combines the
experiences and observations of
five members of the United
Press staff in Berlin.
A companion book, Balcony
Empire" written by Reynolds
Packard and his wife, of the
Rome staff of United Press,
likewise just off the press, paints
an amazing picture of the bonn
bast and the intrigue which
marked Mussolini's rise to pow
err. In particular it paints a
highly revealing picture of the
attitude of the Italian people
themselves to the death strug-
gle in which they are engaged.
Both books, startling and
vivid in their revelations, should
be placed at the top of all
American families reading lists.
They deal with the meat of
war.

Michigan's Redistribution of es-

them from military service, now
getting under way, virtually
will halt the movement of skill
ed farmers to munitions factor
les, it was said today.
A spokesman for the state Sc

it was expected that the reclassi-
fication program would prompt
many skilled farmers to quit
jobs in industry and return to
the farm.
At the same time, he said. 1T
will stop the movement from
farm to factory because a farm
er won't be able to leave an es-
sential farm, if he has been de-
ferred from the draft, unless his
county u. S. D. A. farm war
board permits it,"
Representatives of the draft
headquarters and the state u. S.
D. A. farm war boards now are
conducting meetings throughout
the state, instructing local war
boards and draft boards in pro-
cedures to be used in setting up
new classification for farm Ia

essential to farm production and
