Plot Against Children New
Nazi Propaganda Concoction

denunciation regarding an alleged
plan to deport all German children
two to six years old after the war
SO they might be given civilized
education in other countries.
A letter from a reader suggesting
this solution of the German prob
lem was published in the Neither
lands language London newspaper
Fri Nederland, or Free Netherlands.
What the Germans failed to men,
ton was that in publishing the
letter the newspaper denounced it
as worthy of Herod."
LAID TO CHURCHILL
When the Germans first denounc-
ed the plan" they attributed it to
the newspaper. Today, still trying
to whip up German anger and fear,
they attributed it variously to Great
Britain and to Prime Minister Win
ston Churchill personally. One
French language broadcast from
Berlin said:
Such plane must be answered
By iron and blood, and we will have
this answer. Such a plan could
have originated only in the head of
a Jew or an Englishman. This plan
reveals the real British mentality"
Germany also continued a new
campaign denouncing Sweden be-
cause Swedish Nazis failed to gain
a single seat in Sundays Swedish
county council elections while Com
muniSts made gains.
NAZIS WORRIED
Berlin broadcast serious warn
ing" to Sweden that if it we're not
vigilant it might find itself "very
soon in the claws of the Soviet"
This warning should not be dis
regarded, although the eyes of the
world are directed toward the east
ern 'front.'" Berlin said. I'm view of
the gains made by the Communists
the situation is really serious. While
these elections themselves will not
influence Germany, it must be real
lied that Bolshevism is working in
Sweden strongly"
The Moscow radio reported that
Jugoslav patriot troops had beaten
a large force of Italian and Croat
Quisling troops and taken the town
of Pasan, the many German and
Croat troops had been killed by
the derailment of train and that
patriots were now battling Axis
forces in four areas.
Reports reached London of new
German executions in Poland, Czech
oslovakia, Holland and Greece. 1t
was reported also that the Germans
had seized new group of hostages,
believed to number more than 100,
after attacks on German army in
Stallations in the Namur area.

Il asked myself I wonder where
l got this car? Pierce and I have
gray sedan and this is blue"
1T was 11:30 at night SO stopped
in bar to have a cocktail and to
inquire the name of the town.
They told me it was Holly

to dc, so stopped at an auto court.
The next day 1 went to show and
finally I wired the Atascadero
chamber of commerce and asked
them if they knew Mr.. and Mrs.
Pierce Weller"
REPORTED MISSING
Mrs. Miller said the answering
wire informed her that Mr.. Weller
was deceased and that his wife was
now Mrs. Henry Miller of Holly
wood
Il told the manager of the auto
court 1 didn't know what to do and
he took me to police. They had
pictures of me there and said my
husband had reported me missing.
They took me home but I didn't
know Mr.. Miller-my husband"
Il never saw him or the apart
ment or his relatives before in my
life"
Miller said he met his wife at the
horse races in Aqua Caliente, Mex.
and that they were married in Las
Vegas, New, on May /.
'Look at me. I have bleached
blonde hair But before l had
pretty red hair. I don't like myself
as a blonde"
Mrs. Miller said her husband is
very sympathetic with the situation
and told her he would give her a
divorce if she desired.
But l don't know anybody, I
don't recognize anything.
"I don't know what to do. I'm
lost"
