Journey
Exciting at
Michigan


perate Journey" the tense adven-
ture film which opened at the
Michigan yesterday.
It's a typical tale of pursuit,
high-lighted with all kinds of
miraculous escapes for five Raj
filters who are shot down far be-
hind German lines and who use
every device Warner Brothers can
think of in order 10 elude their
Nazi pursuers.
There are nine OF them in the
bomber which crashes, but only
five survive and before the picture
ends there are only three left.
While [ here are undoubtedly
miraculous things occurring in
this war, we're afraid the writers
of this script have really taken
advantage of every ones credulity.
We'd like TO believe that such
an adventure could take place, but
Enrol Flynn and his companions
really lead charmed lives here as
they hide out in a train, COM
mandeer uniforms. guns, automo-
biles and finally even a plane in
their flight from the Black Forest
to the channel.
GESTAPO BLOODHOUND
The chief bloodhound on their
track is Raymond Massey of the
Gestapo. who with everything al
his command can't make the time
these boys do.
They receive some help from
anti-Nazi Germans who conven-
iently bob up at just the right
time, so that the boys really have
something OF a lark all the time
they are fleeing for their lives.
But if they are casual about il.
the audience isn't. They take it
hard every time a German shows
up who's bound TO cause more
trouble for our hurting heroes.

The Nazi regime is not usually
credited with doing much to encour-
age truth. Hitler himself spends
many paragraphs in ''Mein Kampf'
telling about the Importance of be-
ing a good liar. But, strange as it
may seem, according to a tale that
is whispered behind the closed doors
OF state department Offices, the
Nazis have struck a blow for verify.
Here is the tale which may never
appear in the official communicates
of our ministry of foreign relations.
When Germany declared war on
the United States last December,
after Pearl Harbor, there were still
several hundred Americans, men
and women, living in Paris. Many
of them had lived there for 20 years,
getting their American passports re-
newed periodically. Some of the
ladies, it seems, took advantage Of
these periodical renewals to lop a
couple of years off their age now
and again.
And who would grudge the ladies
few years stolen from the calen-
dar, especially in Paris? But the
gentle prevarication bounced back
with vengeance. For when the
Nazis announced that women under
go would be informed in concentra-
ton camps, while older women
would be allowed to remain at lib
erty, certain number of American
women suddenly discovered that the
age shown on their passport was
erroneous. They hurried to the
Swiss consulate, which had charge
Of American interests, and swore
out affidavits to the effect that they
were not, say, As, but 81.
Not all of these belated amend
ments were accepted by the Nazi
oficials-gallant for once. The con-
sequence is that the rigors Of the
Nazi internment camps are now be-
ing suffered by women who, If they
had been less coquettish about their
years, would now be free.

On Pronunciation

On Pronunciation
You may not know it, but nobody
thinks broadcasters know how to
pronounce the names of foreign
places. Some write in and tell us
about it and. even the news services
try to help us. When an item comes
over the news ticker about Rzhev
or Chumbly they obligingly put the
pronunciation in brackets.
The other day the news services
had something to say about disturb
ances in Lyons, France. Now I've
been hearing about Lyons all my
life and / know perfectly well that
Lyons is pronounced like two lions
in the zoo. I also know that the
same city is spelled by the French
without the s,''-Lyon-and I've
visited that ancient and attractive
city and I know how the French pro-
nounce it.
So when the ticker said Lyons
pronounced Lee-on)" I got the
same feeling as when I once heard
two Frenchmen disputing whether
Washington was called "Vashinjton"
or washington.
Lyon, if you want to be pedantic,
is not pronounced 'Lee-on" or any
thing like it. If you want to pro-
nounce it the French way, you'll
have to study French. AS for me,
I'll go on saying Lyons, and I'll con-
tinue to say Paris-not "Pah-ree,"

Washington, ID. G.
A mystery that has perplexed
many laymen and some officials in
Washington with respect to the man.
ner in which the government has
forestalled a mammoth Nazi plan
for sabotaging American industry
can now be explained. There will
be no official confirmation Of the
explanation but it comes to me from
what are frequently described as
Informed es''-which really
means "a man who has never lied
to me SO far"
In a sentence: The man who
wrecked elaborate Nazi plans for
blowing up munitions plants, rail-
way terminals, bridges, electric
light and power plants in the United
States was none other than Adolf
Schikelgruber, Hitler himself.
He did it when he tossed the
neutrality-suspicious. pact out of the
window just after Nazi armies had
launched their surprise drive on
Russia.
To understand what a job the
fuehrer did for himself we must
remember that for years, with the
methodical care Of the German
mind, detailed plan had been
worked out for the sabotage of
American industry. Even during
the last war there were some ter
rible and effective pieces of sabo-
tage accomplished by compare
lively unframed and unregimented
crowd of German spies. The famous
Black Tom explosion which wrecked
the huge New Jersey plant not far
from New York city, was an ex-
ample An international mixed
claims commission finally awarded
huge damages to the United States
for that act.
But the Nazis began where the
kaiser left off. They had schools for
the training of saboteurs especially
selected from Germans who had
lived in the United States and were
lured back to Germany and either
bribed or inundated into undertake
ing the work of destruction in terri
tory with which they had become
familiar.
Details of this training came out
in the secret testimony in the recent
trial of the Nazi saboteurs in Wash
ington. But much of it was ancient
history to the department of justice.
And the way the advance informa-
ton came into the hands of our in
telligence officers was this:
While the Germans had their pact
of friendship with Russia, Nazi
agents were busy making friends
with Communists all over the world
in the hope that they could use them
for subversive activities. The Com
munists naturally did not turn a
deaf ear and Hitler's agents told all
Then came the double cross, Ger
many attacked Russia, and Com
munist and Nazi who had always
hated each other thoroughly gave
vent to their real feelings. The
plans which the NaZis had cOnfided
to the Communists were turned over
to the governments of the United
Nations.
The United States also had been
picking up little information about
the German sabotage methods in
other ways-such as by planting a
man or two in the German Gestapo.
These men learned, from one
source or another, that the Germans
had hired safe crackers in this coun-
