CHAPTER IA

Like most Americans, l thought
that with Pearl Harbor we had
become united nation. believed
that my friends" would now be-
come true patriots, stop their dis
ruptive propaganda and back up
the Congress and the nation in
the prosecution of the war. Feel
ing sure that my work as investi-
gator was over, I thought of en-
listing in order to continue my
fight against Axis aggression.
And then I received a mimeo-
graphed tract from Boston, post
marked December 8, 1941. 1t was
from Francis P. Moran, fuehrer
of the New England Christian
Front. Accompanying it was a.
other inflamatory leaflet which
read in part:
Mr.. Roosevelt has sent our citi-
zens to their death. He is guilty
of murder We advocate the
refusal of all sincere and coura-
geous American citizens to pay
such taxes on the basis that they
are unconstitutional, un-American,
and morally unjust, and on the
further premise that our first
duty is to our own needy and I'M
employed citizens.
I realized with a shock that my
work was far from finished. In
stead Of burying their past aglta-
tons and joining the rest OF Am
erica in a united stand against
Nazi aggression, my patriotic
pals were going to continue
their role as transmission belters
of Nazi propaganda!

For America First! We have al
ways told the TRUTH
Klaprott saw me to the door and
on parting gave me the informal
Nazi salute. "Heil," I answered,
returning it.
3 I stopped at the Germania Book
store across the street and saw
Stahrenberg huddled in conversa-
ton at the rear. I hung around I'M
til Pete had finished talking, then
we walked out together.
What are we going to do now?"
I asked.
Were going TO do everything
we did before, but we're not 60
ing to advertise it. We're working
quietly. Catch on?"
I certainly did! While Japan
and it's Axis partner stabbed at
us from without, Stahrenberg and
Klaprott, Moran and their gang
sters were going to stab us in
the back from within.
I made an excuse to leave Stah-
renberg, after which I tramped
through Yorkville's streets long
into the night, thinking and plan
ming. I realized, as perhaps very
few did at the time, that a bill
ious, underground, Nazi-minded
mob of Americans could do a de-
vastating fifth-column job, which
could greatly endanger our war
effort and shatter national unity.
The next morning all thoughts
of volunteering for the United
States Army were gone. We had
an enemy to fight here at home
and trained soldiers with three
years experience in psychological
warfare weren't plentiful at the
time.
I sent out a batch of letters to
my fascist friends throughout
the country. While awaiting their
replies, / went to several sessions
of the Citizens Protective League,
which had been meeting regularly
since Pearl Harbor. l hadn't been
