Hitler Again!
BY RUTH TAYLOR

Hitler il at it again And this time
in Il way that is right down Labor's
alley. He isn't content any longer to
set up SO many laws that it is impos

Preventive trial is to he introduced
for persons of nOn-Aryan mother or

or by state officials, for crimes they

Yes, that strikes Il responsive note

these pseudO-Germans who wiped out
the German Labor Movement that they
might he free to destroy all those who
stood against them or who defied their
power.
There are still those apologists
among us who will say it is merely
another phase of Hitler's hatred for
the Jews, though the Hitlerian defni.

were Jews; they were loyal Poles, who
were Jews; they were loyal Dutch
who were Lcws--and so on down the
line. Their Judaism was the religion
of themselves or their ancestors, that
same Judaism which is the basis OF
the Christian religion.
Hitler'S tactics have been plain

what Hitler's real hatred isD
The smoke screen of so-called racial
persecution has too often OhScured the
main point at issue. National Socialism
and Christianity cannot live in the
same world. The basis of christianity
Is the equality of man before God
That is the cornerstone of the Judaeo
Christian doctrine.
Labor knows the tactics. Labor has
never been fooled since the Brown
shirts first screamed in the streets OF
Munich. Labor knows, and Labor will
never be led by agitators from within
or without to pause in the fight against
this threat to all liberties. Labor is in
this fight with all its might, ready tC

Labor For Complete Victory
The workers, he said. will do their

Manpowcr Commission, that the WMC
has no desire to crack down on any

solved
Three Steps Advocated
The principle problem of labor
shortages, he said, cannot be solved
by shifting workers from sections
where there are surpluSeS to cities
wher" additional laborerS are needed.
The real solution he said, lies in
local handling of the problem, better
use of labor at hand, increased EN-
ploymcni of women, and in the shift

essential industries.

 Chairman Vinson of the House Naval and Military Committee re- ported that investigations in the past resulted in the savings of more than two billion dollars, most ly through contract renegotiation

WASHINGTON = Those aren't planes that darken the capital sky they're storks.
 If there is any place in the country where more babies are be- ing born per capita, the statis- ticians haven't found it yet, in spite of the fact that the birth rate is zooming from border to gulf and coast to coast.
 The birth rate for the nation started climbing in 1883. It didn't amount to much. It was 16.6 births per thousand of population in 1883. Seven years later, it was only l79 but in the following 12 months 1t went to 18.9. cThe first year of the draft) and in the first year the United States was at war, it sky reelected to 229-an all time high and nearly AS births per thou sand more than the peak reached in World War l.

The W ashinqfOn Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON (Major Robert 8. Allen on active dutyJ

WASHINGTON of tn e most significant political maneu- vering ever seen by seasoned dip lomats is going on backstage re- garding the filming of Ernest Hem ingway's famous book For Whom the Bell Tolls"
 Strenuous objections have been voiced to Paramount by the Franco Fascist government n through it's Ambassador Don Juan Francisco de Cardenas, and it now seems probable that the film will never reach the American public.
 The book is the story of the civil war in Spain, the struggle be- tween the Loyalist Government and the Fascist revolutionaries support ed by Hitler and Mussolini, which many people believe was the pre- Jude to the current war. However, Sam Wood, the producer for Para mount, has left out all politics.
 "'Gone With the Wind was a hot love story" says Wood, who worked on that film, "and For Whom the Bell Tolls is an even hotter love story"
 But even though the Paramount version emphasizes love and leaves out politics, Gen. Franco doesn't like it. Paramount has already in- vested more than S2,000,000 in it. Gary Cooper is playing the star role. But Gen. Franco says NO.
 Inside reason why he says NO is briefly this: Showing of the film will promote the sale of fleming ways book. And though the film shuns politics. the book decidedly doesn't. So Franco envisages sale of the book all over the world.
 Nobody ever dreamed tn a t Franco's hand was that strong in side the USA. But the State De- partment is for him; also the Rockefeller Committee is not en- thusiastic about the pictures re- lease. But most important of all, the Vatican's disapproval is the real reason why For Whom the Bell Tolls" will probably not be shown.

"SIsTIE. LAUNCHES A SHIP

The optimistic note in the Presi- dents message to Congress has also been reflected in his manner recently. Before going on the floor of the House to deliver his mes sage, the President spent several minutes chatting gaily with Con- gressional leaders and spinning a yarn for the especial benefit of Senate Republican Leader, Charles McNary of Oregon. Henry Kaiser is turning out Liberty ships at such phenomenal rate in Oregon yards, the President told McNary, that his little grand daughter, "Sistie" Boettiger of Seattle, Wash, is comparing Kaiser to Superman.
