brown-capped man, drowning rays of will-power and holding in his hand the great Swastika banner which the Storm Troops had car rier to Power. The newspaper was dated August 9, 1941. The tipster told me this was the most remark able edition of that newspaper that had ever been published. looked it over, but could find only the usual emptiness, save for loud edi- l torial boasts and one chapter of 8 serial novel with the words: Fort zetzung folgt - to be continued in the next issue-at the bottom. I asked him what was so sensational about it, and he told me that the serial story was not continued; the story was left hanging in mid-air. l asked him to stop being cryptic and he said what he meant, was, the s. A. Mann had been banned!
 In September, I learned why the official newspaper of the Storm Troops was banned. This, a storm- trooper, a young elnploye in a ship ping office told me, and other Nazis confirmed later. An anonymous authority, not Hitler or Viktor Lutze, the s. A. chief of staff, by name, but just an anonymous au- thority issued an order labelled streng geheim, strictly secret, to each district group of the Storm Troops. The order stated that the Brown Shirts were to hold no more meetings. There was to be no more drill, no more political lectures and no further political demonstrations of any kind. The brown uniforms were henceforth to be worn only on specific orders, not at will. The man who told me this, dolefully said 1t amounted to dissolution of the Storm Troops. The Storm troopers continued to exist in name, but not in any real sense. A hand full of men, the top leaders of the BrownshirtS, continued to wear their uniforms occasionally, but they were reliable ariStocracy of the movement. The real Storm Troops, the middle-class Storm Troops, have been disbanded, save for exceeding ly rare purposes of exhibition. Hit Ter had not just bitten the hand which once fed him; he had de- voured 1t. The middle classes were deprived of every ounce of real in- fluence in the Nazi state, and now they were robbed of even the rai- ment of power.

 TOMORROW: World enemy
 Number One: the Russian war
 eases ROOsevelt's road to the
 title.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-01-21

The first overt indication of the disappointment of the small Buer- ger in Germany was the detection of Otto StrasSer, one of the Nazi Party's big numbers, and an ardent believer in middle-class socialism Strasser broke with Hitler and fled from the country. A more serious indication was the projected "re- volt" of Ernest Roehln, leader of the Storm Troops, in 1884, which called forth the blood purge" of the Brown Army.
 After the blood purge, which crippled the basis of what Force the Little Men had on their side, the revolutionary element of Naz- ism, its program for the Little Men, entered on a long decline. The ex- istence of the Kleinbuergertum, as reasonably Independent economic elements, grew more precarious each year. The chain-stores increased in power and became ubiquitous: AryanS enjoyed far more rigid monopolies in the retail trade than the hated Jews had ever exercised. Many little businesses were des- troyed deliberately by economic de- crees issued as part of FIitler's vast, severe standardization program. The planning of imports to fit the arms program, eliminated the raisOn d'etre of many. Others died be- cause, with their own costs, rising, they could not compete with the big combines.
 The war, of course, only hastened this process. While big industry, the arms and chemical industries, grew bigger, wealthier and mightier, little shops and little industries have died like flies. Death was now caused, too, at a swifter rate, by the calling up into the army of their owners and their few em- ployes. Still more powerful 8 casual force has been the dwindling to zero, or near it, of the imports most of them depended on. Dur ing the Russian war, drawing, as 1t did, many more men, and older men, into the armed forces, and bringing ScarcitieS and disappear ances of all kinds of retail com- modities, the development gathered such speed that 1t assumed the pro- portions of a wholesale annihila- ton.
 The last apparent hold the Little Men had on a lever of influence, after their shops were closed and falling salaries robbed them of any economic weight, was the once glorious Brown Army. The Storm Troops were only an apparent lever, and the polish of their glory had tarnished badly. But the storm Troops at least continued to exist as the last symbol and the last trace of the middle class revo- lution.
 Then, in August, 194l, the axe fell. A tipSter told me. He brought to me copy of the official news paper of the storm Troops = the s. A. Mann. On its masthead was the old drawing of 8 flrm-faced,

DRAFT CONTINGENT GOES TO HARTFORD
Full January Quota to Re. port at Fort Devens
 Next Week

The second part of Waterbury's January Selective Service quota was in Hartford today, with the men rec ceiving final physical examinations from army doctors. Today's group represented Boards 16-A and 16-B, the other two boards, 15.A and 15-B having sent up their contingentS for examinations Tuesday.
 In the group examined today were some 19-year olds, as well as some men who married after procla1na- tion of 8 national emergency. Men formerly classified as 1-B for minor physical ailments were also included.
 Men of the January quota will leave for Fort DevenS after com. pleting furloughs at their homes here. The furlough period has been considerably shortened from the two weeks formerly enjoyed.

he promised death to the Jew, who was, to the German Iniddle-classes, the symbol of the prosperity they envied.
 Nazism was Spiessbuergertulm in Revolt, the Tinid Soul in shining armor. The attraction of the idea was overwhelming to Germany's millions of Little Men. And they carried their Leader to power on a wave of middle-clasS enthusiasm.
 When Hitler won, they sat back to watch the realization of their hopes. Results were swift in corn- ing, satisfactory beyond expecta- tions. The Fuehrer eliminated the proletarian Left from politics in a series of lightning, dramatic blows, and with incredible ease. Wages were henceforth at the mercy of Dr. Robert Ley, of the middle classes, and of the big industrialists who enjoyed community of inter- ests with the Little Men on this particular economic question. In the National cabinet, one portfolio after another was given to brown-uni- formed Party men.
 Now, in every society the two most important clements are Wealth -and Force. Hitler Sys- tematically showed the representa- tives of the Little Man into almost every phase of government. But precisely wealth and force he did not grant them. The middle classes did not even get @ smell of real economic power. His economic state Hitler shaped in the form Of twelve Wirtschaftsgruppen, each corporation" possessing dictatorial powers of life and death over the industry concerned. The adminis- trators of each Gruppe were the wealthiest capitalists in the particu- lar industry 1t dealt with. In short, the wealthy were made supreme judges in their own cases.
 Nor did the Brown Army achieve its coveted destiny of becoming and controlling the Armed Forces of the nation. The army, which Hitler set about rejuvenating and expanding, remained in the hands of the old Prussian caste, the military counter part of the wealthy dictatorS of German economic life. The middle classes were disappointed, and did not hide the fact.

FORECASTS BIG
 ADVANCES IN
 POSTWAR ERA

WIIkeS.Barre, Pa, Jan. 21.-CUP) s-An almost ptopian industrial and home life era is in store for Amer lea after the war, predicts Dr. Allen A. Stockdale, dean of the speakers stan of the National Association of Manufacturers.
 Millions of men back from the armed forces will find plenty ot work in . mammoth production pro- gram supplying new, ingenious pro- ducts ''of the ir1comparable Amer lean industries" to the peoples of the world, according to Stockdale. He prophesied that discussions of labor problems will come to the point where they will be referred to as negotiations between manage ment and labor instead of capital end labor.'"
 '"rhe growing demands for new I goods and new services cannot be satisfied by natural products alone, !" declared the NAM of1cial. we must outdo nature in the labora- tory. In every field of endeavor there is enough unfinished busi- ness to supply thousands of prob lems for industry and science to work on."
 Undreamed of Now
 Stockdale charted some "un- dreamed of" goods and services the post-war world will enjoy:
 New products Family airplanes with lightning speed and capable of landing on hat-roofed buildings; plasticS and synthetic materials: material to which ice will not cling, for use on airplane wings, high ways; c machine that will convert sound vibrations of the voice di- rectly into printed form; telephone television; waterproof paper; to- bacco that will leave no ash.
 New industrial processes Cheaper methods of producing electricity; new sources of tremendous energy to be released from the atom: non- infiammable lumber; synthetic proc- ess for producing carbohydrates and hydrocarbons from the air; suc- cessful process for preserving bread by freezing; g. method of making copper and brass stainless; machine to weld sections of lumber into an endless board.
 Aids to Health
 Health aids-Proper feeding for millions of people now suffering from 11utritional deficiencies; an efi1cient method of immunizing people against the common cold; successful treatment of cancer; a method of preventing abnormal growth of cells without hampering natural growth: serum to innocu- late against measles.
 Home Millions of additional homes, built with now inconceiv- able col1veniences: more labor saving electrical appliances, creat- ing work for 100000 persons for- four and one-haH years in Q $16,- 000,000,000 market.
 Agriculture - Electrical farming, including heating of the soil to force crops; a binder" to keep soil from being carried away by erosion; 1nseee control by death ray or fumi- gant not harmful to animals or humans.
 Miscellaneous = air-conditioned cities, glassed over and held at de- sired temperature year round; more and bigger super highways; meth ods for dispelling fog over airports: an economical method of storing winter cold for summer use and summer heat for winter use.
