'defeatism." According to the Swiss
report, the woman, whose husband and
one son were fighting in the German
Army, exclaimed when she learned that
her only daughter had been killed in an
air raid in Berlin:
All this is the work of the devil,
That mass-murderer Poor Germany.
this is how things are with U.S."
The Womans maid testified to her
remark. The superintendent of her
apartment house told the court that
she had been luke warm" toward
Naziism and did not read anv of the
party's newspapers. She was repre-
sented by an attorney who, in three
minute speech made no effort to defend
her, but only asked for clemencv be-
cause she had a husband and son in
the German Army.
Sentence: Death-for insulting Der
Fuehrer and the German state.
Ultra Terrorism
Other reports from Germany indicate
that this case, while more dramatic
than most, is not extraordinary. Under
Hlmmler's rule any German may be
executed for expressing any doubt as to
Germany's ultimate victory or any lack
OF confidence in the Fuehrer. Germans
who overhear "defeatist" remark and
fail to report it to the authorities also
are punished severely.
Yet, despite this ultra terrorism,
there are signs that some few Germans
are driven to the point of desperation
where they are willing to strike back.
The Stockholm newspaper Aftonbladet
reported last week that % Nazi officials
had been murdered" in Germany with
in week without their slayers being
detected.
The corpses showed signs of severe
1ll-treatment, and death occurred from
shots in the back" the article said, with
reference to two of the Nazis who were
killed in Mannheim
Obviously under such a system of
strict and terroristic police control, any
widespread organization of counter
revolution among the people seems i'm
possible.
Along with this terrorism, the German
propaganda machine now is devoting
itself to two lines-one, that Germany
would suffer more under Allied occupa-
tion than it is suffering now; two, that
Germany sought to avoid the war and
was victim of Allied aggression; in
other words. that the people are fight
ing righteous war In defense Of their
homeland.

Coffee Association Scouts
Reports Of Shortage

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK. Sept. 30.-Georee s
Thieroach, president of the National
Coffee Association, said last night
that concern over a shortage OF cof-
fee was unwarranted.
The association claims to repre-
sent 81 per cent of the roasters and
distributors in the United States.
Importers appealed to the Once
of Price Administration in Wash
ington yesterday to remove cofee
from price control to avert what
they described as a threatened
shortage and a possible return to
rationing,
While there are some difficulties
involved in the purchasing of green
coffee from certain producing coun-
tries, the problems are of a tenn
porary nature and are now in the
process of being solved by Govern
ment officials," Mr.. Thierbach said.
In the meantime. the inventory
OF coffee in the United States is
considerably above normal"
He said the War Food Administra-
ton had stated that present avail
able stocks were in excess of a four
months supply, with new shipments
continuing to arrive.

the President issued his 'hold-the

No Increase in Prices.
The fiat glass industry. with $4,000

1896 while labor rates have jumped
almost 100 per cent and take-home
pay has increased 40 per cent since
January, l94l.'
In another development today,
Chairman Harry A. Mills of the
National Labor Relations Board said
that recourse to the injunction
weapon in a recent collective bar
gaining election may be accepted as
evidence of the boards "determina-
ton" to see that employees choose
their agents without interference.
For the first time since its incep-
ton Mr.. Mills said, the board
in the case of Servel, Inc, asked a
Federal court to issue a restraining
order to prevent company interfer-
ence with an orderly and impartial
collective bargaining election. Re-
course to this unprecedented pro-
cedure. which has been always avail
able under the statute, represents
our determination to guarantee en-
ployes the right to express their
collective bargaining desires in elec-
tons free from illegal interference. :"

ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. 30.-De-
spite pleas of party workers to keep
the iron hot" Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey today dedicated this week
end to loafing and a quiet mental
conditioning for his final drive in
the presidential contest.
The Republican nominee Cancelled
tentative plans to motor to his farm
at Pawling and decided instead to
remain at the executive mansion
here getting reacquainted with his
two sons, Thomas E., jr., and John
who attend Albany schools.
He spent yesterday morning in
bed, resting up from his $500
trip to the Pacific Coast and back,
and then issued a National News
paper Week statement in which he
said he had every confidence that
our free press will continue to resist
Government domination
Bitter Lesson From Dictators.
Declaring the free-press and free
speech amendment was added to
our youthful Constitution because
of deep-seated fear OF Govern
ment dominance the candidate
said:
The founding fathers wrote q
defense in the fundamental law
against the arbitrary suppression
of free press by Government such
as had taken place at times in Eng
land before and during Colonial
days. They were determined to
leave no loopholes for such de-
velopment here.
The dictators have given the
world bitter and bloody demon
stration that government tyranny
is still the great enemy of free press
and speech. Measures to suppress
completely the freedom of the press
were carried out by every one Of
the dictators as natural and essen
tial steps to their success.
The lesson is not without some
application to our own country, as
has been indicated by some of the
tendencies Of the government i'll
power, against which most editors
and publishers have been watchful."
Confidence in Free Press.
The outpouring OF government
news releases for single week
would flll a metropolitan daily for
five full days, exclusive of adver-
vertising," Gov. Dewey said and
added:
Il have every confidence that our
free press will continue to resis5
government domination OF its con-
tents, and that such examples as
this will be rebuked as sheer waste
and arrogance"
To the publishers and staffs of
American newspapers he paid trib-
ute for "a great service of enlight-
enment."
"As custodians of a public trust >
he said, they have given America
by far the freest, most interesting

Argentine Stand in
Hemisphere Defense
BY the Associated Press.

0S lHe AesOClhttC EIcss
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 3d.
George Messersmith, United States
Ambassador to Mexico, questioned
here yesterday the position of Ar
gentina for failure to align herself
with the Allies against the Axis In
this war.
Mr.. Messersmith. en- route from
Mexico to Washington. addressed a
public luncheon on invitation OF
William G. Zetzmann, president OF
the Association of Commerce and
head of International House.
He said that when the United
States withdrew almost entirely
from our responsibilities "after the
World War, situation was ere
ated (which made it possible for
Germany, Italy and Japan to pro-
woke this great struggle in which
we now are engaged"
Mr.. Messersmith said:
ut is interesting that in this war
in which the safety and future of
all Of us, including every one of the
American republics, were so def
nitely engaged by the threat from
without. All of those republics,
with the exception of the Argentine
should have completely cut their
ties with the Axis powers and COL
laborated fully with each other in
hemisphere defense.
1T is an interesting commentary
that a military regime in the Argen-
tine, which has imposed itself on the
Argentine people, has failed to Join
in this collaboration and, in many
ways practicing within the Argen-
tine itself some Of the practices on
which the Fascist states were built,
has shown indications, through ut
terances Of some of the members of
the regime, Of poorly concealed in
tentions Of endeavoring to dominate
their neighbors.
