 ANNOUNCES
 HIS DEATH
Report Says Der Fuehrer Killed in Chan
 celery

LONDON, May 1.-The Hamburg radio this afternoon announced the death of Adolf Hitler.
 The announcement came II days after he had reached his 56th birthday, and only 48 hours after Benito Mussolini, one time partner in blood, was shot to death in north Italy.
 The Hamburg station is the only radio station in Germany now remaining in Maxi hands.
 The German broadcaster, Lord Flaw Flaw, went on the air and told the German people to stand by for grave and important an- nouncement.
 A short time later, the station announced that Adolf Hitler was killed this afternoon in his com mand post at the Reich's Chan celery in Berlin.
 FORMAL STATEMENT
 At the Fuehrer's headquarters it Is reported that our Fuehrer Adolf Hitler has fallen this afternoon at his command post at the Reich's Chancellery, fighting up to his last breath against Bolsheyism.' ' said the announcer.
 The broadcast said Admiral Karl Doenitx, commander of the Ger man fleet. has succeeded Hitler.
 No mention was made of Heinrich Himmler, oestapo chief. who had been dickcring in an attempt to surrender what remained of Ger many to Britain and the United States, but was turned down be- cause he did not include Russia in his offer.
 The announcement said Hitler had appointed Admiral Doenitx as his successor in the event of his death yesterday.
 Doenitz appealed to the German people:
 Give me your confidence. Keep calm and be disciplined. Only in that way will we be able to slave off defeat.'
 The death of Hitler ends an in- famous career which began it's real asccndancy on January 30, 1893, when he became Chancellor of Germany.
 Hitler was born on April 20, 1889, at Breunau, Austria.

THREE PHASES oF LIFE

Adolf Hitler, little German house painter with toothbrush mustache, made Germany the master of Continental Europe and taught the Germans to believe themselves the master race-but he built pyramid of hate and fear that cast it's shadow across the whole world
 The superbly terrible armies which the Austrian Corporal gave to Germany ripped up the map of Europe made at Versailles like a jigsaw ripping through cardboard.
 Hitlers life was divided into three phases:
 The struggle for power .-P Putsch, prison. storm troops and anti semitism. This ended in 1883 when he was named chancellor of Ger many.
 The construction of the Third Reich:--Economic ruin and exile for Jews; building of the greatest army Europe has ever known; power politics; the watch on the Rhine restored; axis with Italy: anschluss with Austria; Munich; the subjugation of the Czech na- tion; the west wall rose from Switzerland to the North Sea. This second period ended in the dawn of September l, 1889. when German troops stormed into Poland, across the final line of peace or war drawn by Britain and France.
 Third Period
 Wharf.-The annihilation of Po- land; the quick conquest of Den- mark and Norway; the crush of The Netherlands and Belgium: the collapse of France; air blitzkrieg of England, the sweep of the Balkans, then, German bayonets shredded the treaty with Russia and Hitler began the crusade" against the Soviets for which he had marked the cards when he wrote his book, "Mein Kampf.' in German prison in 1923. After the invasion of Russia.

Strange stories indeed make
their way to the book stalls
when a nation is at war, stories
that in saner times would merit
small notice. They are stories
of death, murder, horror, bestial-
ity, bravery and great kindli-
ness, and once in a while of even
stranger things, like Brain
storm (Farrar & Rinehart),
Carlton Browns tale of tempor-
airy insanity.
1t is not a pretty story, this
one about Michael Kelly Jones,
a young mean who blew his top
and then found it again. 1t is a
kind of mental, non-alcoholic
lost weekend that spread over
several months, and whether it
is good clinical research into
schizophrenia and related aber-
rations the average reader will
not know. But he will realize
that here is story to make his
hair curl. and to give him pause
for reflection in the memorable
vein of the great John Wesley.
For Mike did not appear TO be
a great deal different from many
of his flesh-and- blood country
men in those pre-war days. He
was under 80, in good physical
health. He had a fairish job,
and wife and daughter. He
was writer, and the fact that
He couldn't get along with his
wife, Helen, seems after NOM
ent's reflection to be a somewhat
commonplace complaint. Never
theless, he was building up to
the inevitable crack-up with his
prolonged period of citation, his
feeling that he was a goth cent
ury Messiah. That dream per-
sisted even after he was forcibly
removed 10 the city hospital and
later was committed to the state
institution. The surprising thing
is that, as Brown hes him tell it,
he retained enough sanity to
keep an almost daily journal OF
his torture dreams. his
thoughts, his actions. He knew
that he was crazy, but he also
knew that he was recovering,
and when he was discharged as
cured, he could correlate his
notes into this story of Brain
storm.
There is good writing in this
story, good writing of terrify-
ing sort, for the things that hap
pened TO Mike Jones conceivably
could happen to anyone. With
the exception of the authors in
PRODUCTION, il is Mikes own
story, Brown asserts, told in his
own way.

membered. Here is the story Of
brutality and reconsideration in
public institutions and here is

to follow in the process.
First of all, DR.. Kemmerer
recommends high degree of in

the small nations have a part.
Second, he says, the monetary
unit should be established in
each nation after conference
with other countries; third, in

be taken to discontinue artificial
price and exchange controls.
Then he suggests a tryout Of de-
facto sterilization, followed in
due time by a de jure stabiliza-

The author has a rare knack
of stating highly technical econ
omic data simply and interest
ingly. He gives a brief history
of gold and the gold standard,
listing in the telling the little
items of interest that many have
long wanted to know.
For example, the pound sterl-
ing originally was a pound of
silver: the British penny bore
the Norman name denier and
still is designated ID; nations
devalued their currencies way
back in history; bi-metallism
was tried time and again; in the
United States after 1880, gold
was overvalued and drove sill

With everybody talking about
the world of tomorrow, we de-
cided it was time for somebody
in Hollywood to do some talk
ing about the movies of tomor-
row.
So we looked up one of the
towns big directors, Clarence
Brown, who has been welding a
megaphone for Is years. If You
are not acquainted with Brown S
work, he's the gent who directs
the M-G-M biggies like White
Cliffs of Dover The Human
Comedy and, in past years,
such hits as Anna Christie,
"Ah, Wilderness and The
Rains Came"
THE movies" he began, "are
III a rut. The talkies gave us full
voices coming from flat actors in
black and white. They gave us
technicolor. That was better. But
the actors are still flat. Only the
voices are natural"
SO what will the movies of the
future offer?
Third d i m en- o n" said
Brown. Its inevitable. They re
working on it now. The whole
technique of the screen will be
changed. Well get back to real
ity. The actors will look natural,
not flat. And that will be get
ting back TO the stage. They IL
probably even eliminate flat
screens. don't know how they II
do it, but well probably be see
ing pictures out Of doors, with
the film projected right in the
air
1t sounded fantastic.
But people thought the
talkies' were fantastic Brown
said.
THEY'LL TRAVEL BY AIR
Development of air travel
will also revolutionize Holly
wood.
when a South Seas scene is
written into the script, says
Brown, Eve will fly to the South
Seas instead Of shooting it on
the back lot. Well fly every
where. Hollywood will merely
be the base for operations. d.
recting pictures will be fun
again"
He hasn't had much fun di-
recting in the last few years,
Brown had 10 admit. And es-
pecially now. 1t is 24-hour-a-
day headache" he said.
You expect ARTISTIC tempera-
ment from the stars. But now,
because of the manpower short
age the real temperament Is
among the extras. It's awful.
We've lost our best extras to the
war. The people the casting Of
fices send us now have no inter-
est in their work. They know
nothing about pictures. They
don't want to work. All they
want is the check"
Brown directe National
Velvet" with Mickey Rooney.
For one scene he needed 1900
extras 10 fill a racetrack grand
stand. The studio rounded up the
necessary people somehow. But
when the company returned
from lunch the first day, Brown
noticed many empty seats. He
sent an assistant out to see what
was going on.
THE guy found 35 extras hid
ing behind see emery so they
wouldn't have to work. Forty
seven of them were still in the
studio cafe, leisurely eating
lunch, oblivious that they were
due back on the set"
