GERMANY WILL TRY IT AGAIN
 By Siqrid Schultz CSs..,sA. !o.H SS .'ssa .ca.,.'

to prepare for the next blow.
 Suppose our American in an inc vestor who has loaned money to German firms. Or c small share- holder in Q corporation which has made loans. Whether he has ever set foot in Germany himself or not, he was certainly affected by the numerous concessions we made to the Germans on what they owed us. The Na2is pro- claimed c moratorium. Then we had to make more concessions to get any of our money back.
 Our American had to do without Q new car, or even without c new roof for his home, but the Germans used the money gained through concessions to 90 into the the world markets and buy raw materials for war.
 The last step of Hitler's system the kill-didn't come of. But the avarage American could not help his whole life being turned inside out, perhaps losing his own or his sons life, simply because the Ger mans were sure that one of three things would happen when they de- clared war on us. Either we would simply collapse, or We would burst into civil war, or we would sue for @ negotiated peace. Tn any case, they'd have us.
 Professor Karl Boomer, foreign press chief for Joseph Goebbels, told me, If America does 90 to war, there will be the bloodieSt revolu- tion the world has ever seen. The vast majority of Americans do not want to fight"
 How do you know?" I asked.
 T know" he said, because toured the whole of the United States" Boomer went on to prove his point. We were a democratic nation, weren't we? Then we must be afraid of war. Further, the Nazis were convinced that racial frictions and class hatred could be so inten. sified by their men on the spot that even without war we were on the verge of blowing up. Boomer said, '"The discrepancy there between the poor and the rich is much too great. It is bound to make for ar explosion. And when I toured the country. the people just loved our racial theories. When America starts slaughtering the Jews and the Negroes, the little pogroms We had in Germany will look like nothing. The true patriots of America feel just as we do."
 That is one time we fooled the Nazis; we didn't have @ civil war or sue for 8 negotiated peace. But the Nazis have fooled us for Q long time. Our average American may be poor or prosperous, Jew or Gen. tile. yet in ways of which he him. self may not even be aware, he has been subjected to some of the many Nazi-inspired pressures.
 No matter who is master of Germany after World War II. Hit- ler's Nazi ideas will stiIl live on in some greedy hearts within Ger many and without. Eager carriers of the Nad disease. of the Pan- German fever. are merely hibernat- ing. It Is up to us to keep them iIi- potent.
 For they know how the racket is worked-from The inside. And they'll try 1t again.

POLPS

The throngs that attended the E,oew-Poli theater yesterday surely had great time, when the story of Marriage Is a Private Affair" was flashed on the screen. It cer- tatnly serves as very romantic vehicle for the return to the screen of Lana Turner, that luscious star who in this film plays the part of a bewitched bride who just can't make up her mind what to do. She has a terrible time trying to settle in her mind, just what sine should do about the man that she tilted, James Craig. or the man that she married. yohn Kodiak. The latter is played by the sensational new star who is . combination of Clark Gable and Rudolph Valentino. He is filmdom's latest meteoric success.
 Marriage Is Private Affair" also brings back to the screen, Keenan Wynn, after his sensational work in See Here Private Hargrove" where he was cast as the fast talk. lng soldier friend of Hargrove. In this film he has another part that will allow wide latitude to his abil- ity and the son of the famed Ed Wynn, who this happens to be, has promise of going long way in the theatrical field.
 The companion feature on this gala program is "Johnnq Doesn't Live Here Anymore" This film also has c trio of talented young stars, headed by Simone simon, William Terry and James Ellison.

As an American newspaper ceE.
 respondent in Berlin from 1919 tO
 l9Al, Sigrld Schultz saw at first
 hand the events that led from
 World War I to World War IT.
 And she saw the behlnd-the.
 scenes preparation for the coIn-
 ing "war- -ln-peace" that she
 warns may culmlnate In World
 War n. This is the story of Ger
 many's plans to win the peace,
 plans that even now are being
 put into effect.
 
 The average American may say, That's very nice for the Nazis, but what has 1t got to do with me?"
 It has everything to do with him, because the Nazi system has already been worked on him, and succeeded only too well - up to Q certain point.
 The factory worker might be surprised to learn that Germans employed by the German secret staff know as much about his plant as he does, what machines make what, and even perhaps where he keeps his tools.
 At the time when unemployment ran high in this country, many workers were lured into taking jobs in Germany through German con. sulates and fraternal organizations on the promise of big wages and ideal working conditions. Naturally, people of German origin or birth were the first to accept. A lot of them came to us in Berlin for help in getting back to the United States because, they said, they were un- happy, or because the German promises had been so much air. We could do nothing for them. There was no way to know which people were being sent back by the NaziS as spies and saboteurs.
 Intimate knowledge of Amer ican plants and plant management has been of vital importance to the war planners; that's reconnoitering.
 Suppose our average American does white-collar or executive work. Representative of his business or professional life or of his Legion post will have been entertained abroad by Germans German businessmen who combined fiatter- ing admiration for American get-it- done methods with alluring pictures of how German efficiency and American efficiency could divide the world.
 Some of the less critical Amer jeans whom our average man knows very likely snapped up the lucrative contracts proffered by Nazi business interests. Some- times the commission was more than liberal.
 But the Nazis expected a cer- tain cooperation" for those ex- tra profitable deals, those aston- ishing commissions. If 1t was not subsequently, forthcoming in the way of political favors and friend- ly propaganda. they didn't hesi- tate to apply intimidation. Threat of arrest or exposure of the deals sometimes worked. If not, there was harsher intimidation. All the undercover Nazl sympa- thmizers, from oestapo agents to prominent citizens would 60 Co. work to exert dissuised pressure

Guarded by MP's

With railroad lines destroyed
throughout France. the trucks
must take their place. So a
one-way, 200-mile speedway has
been devised to keep pace with
the European armies. Here is
how Tiedeman describes the OPP
erations of the Red Ball Ex-
press:
Each truck Is labeled 'Pri-
ority' by a red disk on its front
and rear. The same red ball Is
painted on the helmets of the
special force of military police
which controls the road. They
are stationed at every impOr-
tant intersection, am told, to
ward off an unauthorized traffic
and to keep Allied drivers on
the right route.
"The highway Is a giant loop
that feeds one-way traffic of
thousands OF loaded trucks to-
the front lines and sends empty
ones back to Normandy for
more cargo. The trucks move
In large conveys maintaining a
constant speed and regular
spaced intervals.

Did you ever hear of the Red
Ball Express" the longest and
fastest truck transport lines in,
the world? Details of this
phenomenon of the war were
brought back from Washington
by Carsten Tiedeman, regional
director of the War Production
Board here.
The Red Ball Express oper-
ates between Cherbourg and the
French battlefronts. The bat
tlefronts change at the rate of
Is TO 25 miles a day, but the
express keeps up with them.
The trucks average 40 miles an
hour, moving millions of pounds
of supplies from ships TO the
soldiers.
To get an idea of the size of
the operations, Tiedeman said
that if all the army vehicles
were formed into a line with a
road spacing of 60 yards be-
tween vehicles, they would ex-
tend from New York to San
Francisco, back to New York
and again 10 Omaha.

Ask Grain
Alcohol

NEW YORK, oct. 24-It is re-
ported here that War Food Ad-
miniStrauon officials are prepar-
ing plans 20 recommend that
eastern disullers reconvert alco-
hol manufacturing equipment TO
grain.
According TO preliminary indi-
cations, the diStillers will be asked
TO be in a position by Jan. l. 1915,
TO use grain with that part Of
equipment not using blackstrap
molaSSeS.
Officials are worried over pro-
SpeCtive sugar supplies which are
not as plentiful as grain.
This year the equivalent Of
100000 tons OF Cuban sugar in
the form Of invert molaSseS was
used by Eastern diStillers 10 meet
urgent alcohol requirements. The
shortage Of grains and urgent
alcohol needs were responsible for
the use OF this sugar. but now the
situation has changed and il is
felt prospective grain supplies will
be sufficient TO meet all require
ments.
II is understood that one of the
large Eastern distillers is already
using part grain. The reconver-
sion IS not favored by the alcohol
firms as it is costly proposition
to reconvert plants and in addition
II costs more TO use grain than
sugar.

Air Speedometer

Square d Co.'S Kollsman In
strument division has developed
what il calls the first practical
true air speed indicator.
This instrument is said to
combine an air speedometer, an
altimeter and an outside air
thermometer for continuous in
dication of true air speed.
All the necessary corrections
OF altitude, outside temperature
and compressability are auto
matically applied, eliminating
the hazard of computation under
battle conditions.
The company sees broad
peacetime application for it in
civil aviation.
