nourishe6 on a hate that was truly beautiful. Out of sheer travado, he broke every Jewish Law in Hitler's voluninous Law books. He never wore the Yellow Star, and 8 craged q list fight a month with Nazis. When I first met him his face was bruised from 8 bar-room scuffle with uniformed party member, in the course of which he had knocked his racial superior cold and after wards escaped in the blackout. Aft CT that, he visited be at least once Q week and was an invaluable source of news about Jews in Berlin.
 Fritz was tough, to the point of being overbearingly so, but on this night, fear was written in every line of his swarthy, very Jewish face. He punctuated his account of the Gestapo raid saying, "It's come. knew it would come, as soon as they started losing" What he meant was transportation to occu- pied Russia, which would be noth- Ing more nor less than banishment to sheer rnediaeval slavery and to certain death. He had talked about lt to me more and more often as tho Russian campaign proceeded.
 SPIRIT OF TOUGHEST
 FINALLY CRACKED
 At two o'clock in the morning, I was in no mood for dramatics. I gave Fritz a cigarette, 8 couple of drinks of KOrn, and told him pre- elnptorily that if 1t were as serious ns all that, which 1t wasn't, he was q damned fool to come out on the street just after his room had been raideN; and to go home and sleep lt of, and to drop in to see me next day. He went, but only after he made me promise would go to the American Embassy the first thing ln the morning to ask about the possibility of his getting 8 visa for the United States. He said he was asharaed to admit 1t, but his spirit was cracking fast. He wanted to got out of Germany as quickly as possible. promised desultorily, and showed. him out of the door.
 I have lived in Germany for the better part cf half decade. My callousness on this occasion can hardly be justified. I did not go to the American Embassy the next morning to help Fritz. I simply forgot about 1t. Not that 1t would have helped him; .but 1t would have helped soothe my own conscience ct the manner in which I said good bye to long suffering, hard-fighting Fritz. For I never saw him again after that night.
 He did not come back the next day nor the next. could not go to his room, for did not know where 1t was. He had never told me, because it would lave been Dangerous for him had his land- lady ever seen Gentle entering his room. Two nights later, when I returned home after broadcast, I discovered the reason why Fritz had not come back. The door of the Bernsteins' apartment rext to mine was sealed to the doorpost with six little white stamps, and another little white stamp covered the keyhole. On each little stamp was a spread eagle, gripping a swastika in its claws and around 1t in a circle, the words: closed by the Geheime StaatspOlizei." Fritz and the Bernsteins, and thousands of others had gone colonizing 1T the East.

MINERS DIRECTED
 BACK TO WORK

Continued from Page 1) directive orders of the National War Labor Board must be complied with by all employers and all employees.
 Therefore, as commander in chief of the armed forces, I direct all miners in the anthracite coal fields who are now out on strike to return at once to their job of producing vitally needed coal for their country.
 "1f this order is not complied within zS hours, your government will take necessary steps to protect the security of the nation against strike which is doing serious in- jury to the war effort" I
 The White House did not say what these necessary steps would be, but 1t was a natural assumption that he was referring to possible government seizure of the mines If the strike continues.
 One copy of the telegram went to John L. Lewis, International president of the United Mine Work CTS. who had told the strikers to go back to work. The strikers, however, had refused to obey his order as well as that of the War Labor Board.
 George W. Taylor, acting chair man of the VILE, in a letter to the 1 president made public by the White House. described the walk.out as violating the labor industry mo- strike agreement and the VILE di- rective of January IS in which the labor board ordered the striking miners to resume. operations imme- diately and settle their grievances without halting production.
 The board decided unanimously yesterday to notify. the President "o6 the serious situation" and recommended that he proceed with such action as he deemed proper.
 The board pointed out to the president that when the strike be- gan early in January, the strikers gave as their reason for leaving work an increase in their dues lev- xe6 by the constitutional convention V4 OkA0 uhA4O1l 4ASI 1AIls
 Then. the board said, as the strike continued demands were made for an increase of g per day in wages despite the fact that the strikers were covered by a contract which does not expire until April 90.
 The board estimated that there were approximately l3,600 miners stu on strike yesterday. Some went back to work today.
 The strike had inspired demands In congress ranging from proposals to prosecute union leaders to pass age of legislation making 1t Q crime to strike in time of war.
 One member of the house who represents an anthracite mining rec zion. Representative John w. Mur- phy, D.. Pa. planned "a personal plea to the miners in my district to 60 back to work"
