HITLER'S ORGANIZATION

The soundness of the internal organization which Adolf Hitler built in Germany before he began his war of expansion becomes of increasing importance to the Allied It easy for Hitler to main- tain his leadership during the months of victory That he continues to maintain it after months in which defeat followed defeat proves that he built we'll If he can continue at the head of the German Government after the defeats he seems certain to be about to suffer during the coming winter and spring, history will credit him with one of the most powerful political organizations the world has ever known
 There are many observers oIIer the opinion that the Hitler regime will crumbe under the weight of forthcoming defeats But such statements built more upon wishfu thinking than any known developments within the Reich We must remember that there have been rumors of impending internal collapse in Germany since the spread of Nazi power frustrated. None of these rurnors have been borne out in fact. There signs of dsnegration within the Hitler governmental machine
 But while that machine has been through some difficult time crises it has faced nothing to compare with those which certainly lie ahead. The long string of military defeats have put great strain the morale of Germany, have the havoc brought on by Allied aerial offensives. But to date Allied armies still far from German soil Soon will push to the very gates of the Reich If Hitler's

The British trust claims that It has competition from the American firm of Blood and Schoonmaker. A little known fact is that Howard Sykes, closely allied with the Brit ish combine, is the son of Alice Adele Schoonmaker by her marriage to Walter Sykes.
 In addition to Sykes man, Pur- cell running mica matters for Jesse Jones, the Justice Department has discovered that an interesting indi- vidual is head of the mica section of WIPE. He is Sidney A. Monta- que. formerly of Huse Liberty Co.,, now with Asheville (N. e. Mica Go. Both of these companies are controlled by Blood and Schoon- maker, which has family ties with the British mica combine.
 The Justice Department reports that William E. Blood, of Blood and Schoonmaker, has boasted that he controls domestic production in the U. s. A., and that he even bought mica mine in order to close it down and curtail produc- tion

 The present German Government has brought into play every and scheme to keep the present leadership in control Propaganda devices have been perfected to letter The Gesapo places terror in the hearts of all who would oppose the government, even in the slightest degree Dictatorship has become so supreme most of the peoples thinking is done or was until recently-in Berlin There has been a civilian discipline almost strict as the discipline in the German Army.

Use of Air Power
(New York Times

tNeW YOrK llfneSl
 Knowledge of how to it is just as important as the possession of air power. This was demon strated in the Battle of Britain when the Luftwaffe built and trained to operate jointly With ground troops beaten back by the numerically inferior RAF. Had the Germans possessed an air force de- signed for strategic bombing, such the United States and Great Britain have now different story might have been written in the skies over Britain.
 There are two schools of thought regarding the most effective of air power One holds that It IS most useful offensive weapon to destroy the enemy's industry and communications behind the lines The other belives that the airplane strike most effectively when operates together with land armies or naval forces. No doubt there is merit in both contentious and fortunately the RAF and our own Army Force have been developed for use both as a strategic and a tactical force.
 AS the hour of invasion hears it is likely that the problem of how best to use Ango-American air power based in Britain will be a major pre- occupation of General Eisenhower and his staff There will be some, doubt, who favor using every plane we have support the invading forces in their battle to establish a beachhead on the European coast Others will favor continuation of the strategic bombing which has already caused such havoc in the Reich itself.
 It will be difficult problem to resolve To divide air forces that strategic centers of Germany behind the front can be bombed and at the same time give adequate cover to the landing landings of our troops will dividing own strength in the air. But this strategy has the advantage of forcing the Germans to choose whether to use the bulk of their limited fighter strength to protect their homeland from air attack or to use it in support the invasion command. Air Chief Marshal Sir Arthur of their troops defending their extended frontiers
 Both schools of thought are well represented in Harris and Lieut.. Gen. Carl Spaatz know all there is to know about the possibilities and limitations of strategic bombing. On the tactical side Air Chief Marshals Sir Arthur Tedder and Trafford L. Leigh Mallory have demonstrated respectively at Fl Aamen and Dieppe that they have learned thoroughly the importance and the art of air cooperation with ground troops
 In the last analysis all decisions regarding the alocation of forces whether land air British CT American will be General Esenhowers He is fortunate that in making these fateful decisions he will have the benefit of the advice of men who have become experts through experience in battle.

cell in his job, is connected with Munsell & Company Thus, Pur- cell. who runs U. s. mica opera tions for Jesse Jones, could lean out of his window and discuss mica prices and production with his next door neighbor, an official of the British group.
 One thing the Justice Department is interested in, in addition to the urgent war needs of mica, is do- mestic production after the war. The British trust long has built up the myth that it's mica (obtained from India) is the worlds best, just as the British formerly sold the idea that Sheffield was the worlds best quality of cutlery steel.
 However, the Bureau of Stand ards, after testing samples from various parts of the world, had fail cd to find any difference between foreign and domestic mica. India diid Lilt O O. N oit tilC WOiiQ o Oiiy important producing countries, but the product from India has so com pletely dominated world markets that the United States supplies less than twenty percent of it's own re- quirements.
 This became a subject of alarm during the last war, and the tariff commission subsequently, reported Control of supplies by London was clearly manifest during the last wal and was exercised to the fullest eX- tent through the British Ministry of Munitions. The total world supply. rigidly controlled from Lon don proved just sufficient during the war for the needs of all coun- tries except Germany and its allies.
 Today, Justice Department offic ials are Investigating to see whether the British, together with thei friends in the U S. A, are still try ing to keep production down S, that their companies will be su preme after this war also

GALLUP ADMITS
ERROR IN POLL

WASHINGTON, Dec. % (R) -
DR.. George c. Gallup testified to-
day his early campaign samplings
showed President Roosevelt with
more popular vote strength than
was reported in his Gallup Poll.
The samplings, he said, showed
civilian vote trend of SO per cent
for Mr.. Roosevelt and AZ per cent
for Gov. Thomas E. Dewey. Gal
lup added that he discounted the
Roosevelt edge two per cent be-
cause he expected a light vote.
When registration figures began
indicating a heavy vote he aban-
doned the discount, the poll taker
told the House Campaign Investi-
eating Committee, adding that his
percentage predictions remained
the same because there was a
definite Dewey trend"
Gallup consistently reported a
close election in the 1914 campaign
until his final report when he fore
cast a Roosevelt victory.
Was that last forecast based
on your personal judgment rather
than poll results asked Rep.
Brown (R-Ohio).
Gallup said the final results
were based on information that
reached him only a few days be-
fore the election-too late to be
included in earlier tabulations.
Chairman Anderson (D-NM) ask
ed Gallup why his poll under
predicted President Roosevelts
popular vote strength in all but
one of - states which cast more
than 1000 votes.
The witness replied that one OF
his problems of the 1914 campaign
was the voting intention OF mi
grant war workers.
We didn't take the migrant vote
wholly into account" he said. 1.-The
PAC really did a good job in those
states"
