For that matter, she finds littl
that is good TO say about any OF
the Nazi bigWigs, dead or alive,
or about their party or their pol
icies or the things thew did. She
liked Goebbels. Her deepest ha-
tired is devoted 10 Himmler, and
Martin Bormann, Nazi party
head. runs a close second as a
Goering family aversion.
She feels that the war wrought
a great change in Hitler, con-
verting him from an able and
agreeable person to an arbitrary,
cruel master whom she despiSes
but who still dominates most of
her thoughts.
THE Fuehrer," she told me,
twas all right until the outbreak
of the war"
When, in astonishment, I ask
ed If. even today she doesnt I
consider that the Nazis commit
ted grave crimes before the war,
she appeared puzzled.
What was wrong them" she
asked.
Before the war, she feels, Hit
ler was right because he lis
tened to advisers among whom
Goering was prominent But lat
er he ignored such counsellors.
Hitler ch anged d radically
when the first year of the war
brought striking successes" she
said. They went to his head.
You can't imagine how conceit-
ed he became. My husband often
said. You can't talk to the
Fuehrer any longer
when you wished to influ-
ence Hitler, it was as though
there were a wall between him
and you. He would listen, but
you knew he really wasn't hear
ing. Sometimes he would prom
ise my husband or me something
that we had asked for. Later,
during the night, an adjutant
would telephone cancelling the
decision. Hitler didn't have the
CUTS to tell us himself that he
had changed his mind.
LITERALLY MAD
when | say that Hitler was
mad l mean it literally. A few
people know that during the last
three years his right arm trem-
bled constantly so that he had
great difficulty In writing, and
often had to steady the right
arm with the left hand. My hus-
bands physician, Ondarza. once
explained that this was caused
by deterioration in the brain
which also made it impossible
for Hitler TO pursue any line of
thought through 10 the end.
Last June 9Th Hitler visited
u.s. CThis obviously would have
been in l944) He always came
TO see us that day. which was
my daughter Edda's birthday.
Pacing the floor, he told us:
Germany will win the greatest
victory in the history of man
kind.
Hermann and I looked at
each other, knowing that the
Fuehrer must be crazy TO say
such a thing.
Munitions Minister Speer.
too, realized it. He told me that
on one occasion Hitler ordered
him 10 issue proclamation di-
recting all Germans TO destroy
everything. lest II fall into en-
emy hands. Speer said he told
Hitler: I am against il I don't
approve everything that you do.
like those who were in your
party since the beginning
Hitler gasped, Speer told us.
but apparently he did not force
the issue. because Speer did not
broadcast the appeal Seper told
me that only a madman could
have thought up such an idea in
that hopeless stage Of the war"

Second Church. Plans To Resume ActiUities {. Those Abondoned During War Elmer si geney to Be Renewed Soon Declares
 Rev. pr. John C.WoIker

This year we hope to renew some of the parish activities we were ! forced to curtail or abandon dur ing the period of the war emef- gency," declared Rev. pr. John c. Walker, Second Congregational church pastor, yesterday morning in his sermon entitled, "Tht Church Testifies".
 Dr. Walker said in part:
 T am sure that we shall be able to put new heart in our worship and into our work because the black clouds of war have been dis pelled, because peace becomes once more the order of our day. But, let us all remember, that above and beyond the conventional round, we mast proclaim the great testi- monies, we must save the larger brotherhood. And I trust that you will remember that these testimonies of which I am speaking from this pulpit this morning will be more greatly honored by your practice . of them in your pew or by your daily walk and conversation than by my proclamation of them from the pulpit.
 Let us suppose we are thinking In terms of equality before God, brotherhood among men. Let us hope that the words I say about these things have some warrant and justification and are spoken

HOllywoOd-It's great to be back here in Sweaterland and having practically nothing to do but put ter around (I've been making a few mashie shots, tool until to- morrow. Then I go back on the air beginning my eighth year of broadcasting. We're doing our first show at the Naval Training Station in Corpus Christi, Texas, and we are going to keep wheel ing 1t around to camps and hos- pitals as long as we can find any camps and hospitals.
 After all, in this racket it's much smarter to keep on the move. At the end of every thirteen weeks by the time the sponsor can locate me with his radar set it's always too late to drop my option. My sponsor is planning a big promotion campaign this sea- son to try to expand my audience. This year he even hopes to get people to listen, but I thinl: every one in our gang will be glad to get back on the air.
 Skinny Ennis has made arrange nents with the Red Cross to have his blood changed over to winter grade. It'll be nice seeing Frances Langford again, too. She's been scoring quite a smash with her own program this summer. She's made a reputation for versatility.

with some deep personal conviction. But let me say also that as far as the witness of this church is con- cerned, the acid test is your atti- tu6e. Jou1 disposition, friendly or unfriendly, toward the Japanese American your may chance to meet, your personal determination to de- nounce and to defeat all these un- derhand, crafty, insidious attempts to foist anti-semitisn upon the community, your willingness to make some very real sacrifice of time and money to further the cause of international peace. A great many people will have responded generously to the support of the war e:ort'w will be found quit apath- etic and indifferent to the crusade for international order and peace. Those who fall in the class of the apathetic and indifferent will fail then to share in the testimony of the churches.
 T think there is no possible ques- tion about it, the Founding Fathers of America looked to the churches for moral and spiritual leadership. They gave the churches freedom, not because they expected the churches to live by themselves and for them selves, but because they hoped that the churches would serve the general welfare in freedom as they could not possibly serve that welfare in subjection to the state. Tn these days our horizons have been pushed out to the yer. ends of the earth. The American dream of the better, richer, happier life for all citizens of every rank has become, must be- come, a world dream. The free churches of America have come into great heritage and they carry a great responsibility. If this is, as Herbert Agar has said, "A Time for Greatness" as regards America in general. how much more confident are we that this is a time for great faith and great courage and great loyalty on the part of the Amer ican churches. God grant that we may not fail our hour in Christian history!
