Enemy Broadcasters

The time grows shorter until
Lord Hawhaw, Mr., Katenbach Mr..
Best, Miss Drexel, ct al, take their
places at the microphones of the
Berlin radio to spread their futile
opaganda over the ether for the
last time.
Here are three "reminiscences:
When ! was broadcasting from
Berlin for the MIC at the beginning
OF the war In 1899, there was only
one of the staff OF the German
broadeasting station there who was
provoc atively Nazi. He was a tall,
handsome blond. much given to rid
ing boots and golf clubs. He had
studied in England and his English
seemed perfect to me. He was an
announcer who read the news
beamed on England.
Then came the British declaration
Of war against Germany. There was
naturally considerable excitement in
the studio, II was not until was
going home that I missed my blond
friend. No one seemed to know
where he was.
Then heard the story. 1t seemed
that when war was declared all
enemy aliens were interned. The
Gestapo, much to the surprise Of his
colleagues, picked up my blond
anglophobe. explaining they had
known all along that he was Brit
ish agent.
Later he was brought back and
forced to continue reading news bull
letins in English.
Number two In my gallery never
saw -- he Is the man Best -- who
mouths Nazi platitudes in a SOUTH

cent Is all that is left Of the man
he is-or was an American neWspa-
perman who got into one OF those
European social impasses. A wom-
an, of course. and an older and
more determined one. He finally
found his escape in drugs. That was
an easy case for the Nazis.
Now we come to exhibit number
three; Constance Drexel.
That name will be remembered
