was already executing a plan of his

He said, admiral, aren't you get

joke of Steve's-this terrific interest
he's pretending in Nazism?"
Paul paused, with strange smile.
He looked pale and determined and
his eyes looked pale, as if he were
frightened.
Zorie, catching her breath, quick

brief venomous glance at her and
walked swiftly out of the lanai.
Without word, Winthrop Lanning
followed. He did not even glance at
Zorie. Grim-faced, he walked to the
curtained door as if at any instant
he might break into a run. Once
he was outside, Zorie was sure she
heard him running.
For a moment she stood listening
to Paul, watching the play of eager

 Scrap Paper

One hundred and twelve city streets located north Of West Main street, ard east Of South Main street. and names Of which arc printed In today's Democrat. win be canvassed tomorrow. Saturday. in collection for scrap paper.
 Residents of these streets are urged to prepare their scrap paper donations in bundles securely tied so as to facilitate handling. The collection vii hot be undertaken if the weather Is indictment.
 The surrender terms Of the Axis will be sigred on paper which is but another way of pointing out it's tremendous all-out part in this war, it was stated today by ]. Warren Upson salvage chairman.
 Waste paper which has been de- fined as the number one criticay war salvage material Is used in hundred-fold ways during this war campaign.
 Countless thousands of lives are saved by expert emergency medical care which in many instances is made possible by the fact that blood plasma, medicine of all types, food are all packed in paper containers made from the scrap paper donated to the collections in America.
 4 hundred pounds of newspapers will produce fifty castings for 75-mm shells. Paper parachutes carry food to jungle fighters. Each 100 pounds Of paper you save makes l7 pro tective hands for 800 pound bombs.
 It takes over ton per month of waste paper to keep each fighting man overseas. Over 100000 manu- factured items. from pins to tanks, are shipped in paper.
 Help burn Axis held strongholds by not burning waste paperl
 Do your share by saving every scrap! You owe 1t to the man at the front.

 It put a clincher on embaTrass- ing questions. psychological var fare uses sound trucks brought as close to the front as possible. Loud speakers are then strung out. not at the front, but in front of the front ---some have been as close as 60 yards from the enemy. This is par- ticularly effective because it shows the enemy how close we are.

Our payoff is to convince them that now is the time to surrender. We offer a man the line of least resistance on a purely personal basis"
 Prisoner Of war figures alone are- mt an adequate criterion of the suc- cess of psychological warfare's work Many prisoners volunteer inf0rma- tion that others would like to Sur- render but are afraid. Creating a dee sire to surrender is just as import ant a part of Psychological Warfare Division work as getting prisoners.

Yank ''Paper Barrage" Captures Thousands Of Nazi "Supermen"
By TOM WOLF NEA stan CsFrespondent


 Somewhere fn France, Aug. n = pr. ooebbels has met his master. Where the surrender Is the payon, Herr Doktor has lost the battle ot words.
 or so.O0o prisoners taken by the Allies to date, more than 10000 have had with them some of th Al. lied propaganda leaflets with which they have been shelled and bombed continuously since D-Day. At Cher bourg over 2.000 of the master race surrendered directly to the ''hog callers" - trucks for smooth talk ing right at the front.
 "NaA supermen in the front line foxholeS aren't interested in politics., explained the head of the United States First Arny's Psycho- logical Warfare section. They're interested only in air and artillery support. It's the man just back of the front with whom you can talk politics"
 To reach this man just behind the front German positions were bombed with over million copies of a four-page newspaper which we wove-from the words of Hitler himself and Of Nazidom's top princes-a gray tapestry Of collapse. confusion and distrust. Hour after hour BEG and ABSrE echoed this message.
 JUICY BITS BY HITLER
 The men at the very front weren't entirely neglected in this political education. Twenty-four hours after Hitler's midnight speech Americas much-feared artillery opened a leaflet barrage. Into the foxhOles iloated a single page printed on both sides quoting the Juciest portions Of Hitler's and Goering's speeches.

Our job isn't to con- vince them Hitler's a heel' said the First U. s. Army PwD Chief. but to convince them we won't shoot them if they surrender-as they've been told we do."
 Almost all the leaflets being shot to the foxholes stress one of three points: You have no support; We treat prisoners magnificently; your officers are descrting you.
