Newspaper Report

LONDON, Aug. 10 - (P) -
The United Nations radio at AL
giers today broadcast Bern
dispatch quoting Adolf Hitler's
newspaper Voelkischer Beobach-
ter as saying that 1.-The whole
German government has left
Berlin" The broadcast was re-
corded by the Associated Press.
There was no immediate ex-
PLANTATION or confirmation of the
report.
The statement that the whole
German government" had moved
came as surprise i'm London, al
though there had been numer-
Gus unconfirmed reports the past
three or four weeks that some
governmental departments were
being transferred.
These reports - none of which
had any official confirmation -
told of great vans being loaded
at the doors of Berlin ministries
and rolling away - possibly to
Vienna, Linz or Breslau.
PRIOR REPORTS
Neutral reports also have told
of the moving of some govern
mental offices to Vienna shortly
after the Germans announced
that they were withdrawing
non-essential civilians from Ber-
lin.
One Britisher said that eff the
report is true it undoubtedly is
inspired by the fear of Ham
burg bombing which in a single
night might destroy tons of
records and create chaos in the
governmental machinery"
There also was the possibility
that removal of the government
might be forerunner of an at
tempt, such as that of Rome, to
obtain an "open city" status for
the Reich capital.
DOUBT OPEN CITY
This was regarded as doubtful
however, due to the great con-
centration of electrical and other
factories in the Berlin area and
its Importance as a transporta-
ton center linking the eastern
front with western and southern
Europe.
There were no accurate esti-
mates in London of the number
of persons who would be involv-
ed if the whole government NOV
ed but conservative guess
would be that at least a million
of Berlin's 4,400, 900 population
are connected in some way with
civil or military government.

own or community welfare.
They grow greedy for more

They persist in constantly

They develop a callousness
toward the public's sense of
fitness and good taste-and
so become offensive.
This ancient and repetitious
cycle of human behavior is
nearing its always logical en-
circlement again in neighbor-
ing Seattle.
There, with municipal fl
nancial needs as an excuse. an
organized attempt has just
been made to legalize slot ma
chimes. At its inception, eight
of Seattle's nine councilmen
favored the move.
But, so speedy in forming

nation, that yesterday all nine

of them in hasty reverse)

Action of the recent legis-
lature made possible substi-
tuition of a sound tax on

Such an opportunity TO
strengthen the city's finan-
cial underpinning should not
be overlooked.
9th er wise, and ignoring
any possible issue in public
morals, the city should take
all of gaming machines profit,
instead of a minor norton.
