LEY's LEGACY

The United Press account Of the suicide OF Rob-
orr ev included this sentence: LEY composed
stronoe document conoedne the errors OF Nozsn
and indicating that his downfall had deron9ed HIM
to some extent"
Thot is on interesting conjecture. And II me
writer of the story we're comparing the political test
oment" Of the onetime Noz labor boss with his post
deeds and utteronces then Ley wos indeed deron9eo.
But Lev was scientist before he become the
drunken, biqoted, fonotcoI Nozi hoodIun who ore-
oted the strength Throue h Joy movement And It
nav be that some Of the scientist lucdity returned
to him in the lost days Of the evil life thot he chose
to end.
Much that Ley sold in his deroneed' testament
had the ponderous conviction Of prophecy he tod
the German people: I'VE have forsoken God, ana
therefore we are forsoken by God. We put our hu-
man voton in the place Of His cody grace. In anti
Semitisn we violated the bosic commandment or
His creation"
Anyone Of on exoct and explicit turn Of mind
may find those three sentences too SIMPLE too the
oIooicoI exclamation Attorney General Clark in q
recent speech, complained thot Ley and the Ger
mans n,istook onti-Semitisn and Nozs for two sep
orote PHILOSOPHERS rother than and the same
thing.
Yet there is evidence in Ley stestoment that he
considered onti-Semitsm the root Of all evils OF
Nozism In its elimination he saw the German Peo-
pes sovotion And while his plan for thot salvation
nnioht be unworkobIe it suggested at eost sound
step toward redemption.
Certainly the three sentences quoted here are q
persuasive summing UP Of the crime and punishment
Of the German people - the most terrible crime by
an enlightened nation in the history Of man. They
form valuable legacy to recently deronged peo-
pie from one Of the mad leaders whom they had be-
Ieved and followed from Strength Through JOY to
ruin and despair

are going to get a good break"
For example, take today's
hand. "B. Jay" says that with a
spade opening the hand is auto
matically down one, but for
some reason or another the de-
clarer did not get 2 spade open
ing; he got a diamond and still
he lost the contract.
All he had to do was win the
diamond with the jack when
East did not put up the queen,
lead a small trump to the ace
and now ruff a small club and
lead another small heart to the
king.
Now he gets the bad news on
the heart break so at this point
another small club is ruffed. A
small diamond is led to the king
and the ace of clubs played.
West shows out so the declarer
leads the queen of clubs.
East is forced to cover, the
declarer trumps, cashes the ace
of diamonds, discarding dummy's
deuce of spades. and now the
only trick that East can win is
the queen of hearts.

NURSE
BY Iona L. TROTT
Written for NEA Service

The home nursing care of the
well child is as important rs
that of the one who is ill. In
fact, the prevention of illness is
half the battle of home nursing.
Good lighting, sanitation, proper
clothing, nourishing food, relax
alton and rest are all essential
to health. Thus, home-making
and home nursing overlap at
many points.
Take the case of Art Williams.
Art was in junior high school,
proud of the fact that he had
never been sick a day in his
life. But he was growing "a
foot at a time" to use his Dad s
expression. He had an after
school job that sometimes kept
him busy till ten o'clock at night
unloading heavy boxes and ar
ranging shelves in a store. AL
though his father constantly re-
minded him to straighten his
shoulders, it never occurred to
him that overwork had anything
to do with Arts lax muscles.
One night Mrs. Williams went
to Arts room because she heard
him talking in his sleep. There
was a sharp wind blowing over
the bed. He had pulled the
covers over his face, and his
feet were exposed to the frosty
air. BY the light from the hall
his mother saw for the first
time how badly the springs sag
ged. She noticed, too, that his
pillow was much too large and
that his posture was bad even
as he lay in bed.
TIME TO REFORM
AS she rearranged the covers
on the sleeping boy. it suddenly
dawned on Mrs. Williams that
Art had outgrown his bed as he
had outgrown all his clothes.
She resolved to buy q new bed
with a straight firm mattress
and springs the very next day
F.. and to sew extensions on
the sheets and blankets so they
would tuck in at the foot and
still cover Arts shoulders.
That week end. Arts father,
who was something of a car
penter by avocation, helped him
make window boards for his
bedroom windows so that he
might have ventilation without
q draft over his bed. And while
they were working together,
they agreed that il would be
better for Art to take another
job with shorter hours and light
er work, until he had passed his
rapid-growth period.

ENTERED MOVIES
Charles Coburn came into pic
lures less than nine years ago.
He was a man of the theater up
to the time his wife, who had
been associated with him as the
famous team, The Coburns, died.
Mot on pictures provided a
change of scene at sad time.
And the 80 films he has made
since 1893 have provided a bo-
nanza.
Options have carried fat raises
and Charlie, who threatens to
leave the cameras for full year
shortly now, will have four pic
lures working for him around
the country while he does play
on Broadway.
All this IF Coburn really goes.
This isn't the first year he's
broken out in a spring rash to
get back 10 Broadway. Theater-
men have been dangling good
plays at Coburn ever since he
made a hit in fillums. When
Charlie reads one he becomes

"RIVER SONG" (Bobbs- Mer-
rilD, by Harry Hamilton, is an
entertaining novel dealing with
the lives of those who live in
households along the Mississippi
river and make their living by
catching fish.
It's setting is Island 81, on
which some four or five families
make their home. Among them
are the Holleys Pearl, the
mother; her two sons, LON and
Stag, and her father, Newt.
Newt and his grandsons were
unsteady inclined and in de-
mand to play at local dances and
other affairs. LON had written
a song, "Ramblin' River Man, F"
and a talent scout for a ST. Louis
radio station happened to hear
Stag sing it. 1t was the dawn Of
a new day for the river folk,
for Stag soon became a radio
singing star, making m o r e
money in a week than river
folks made in 10 years of fish
ing. There was only one thing
to mar it-Stag, without any in
tention on his part to do so, soon
became known as the author Of
the song his brother had writ
ten.
Closer than most brothers,
Stag and Lom were in love with
the same girl-Dena Garner
the most beautiful Of the girls
on Island Fl. She went to st.
Louis to marry Stag, but walk
ed out on him when she learned
that he was being credited with
having written the song and
was doing nothing to correct the
impression.
Losing Dena was too much for
Stag. so one day on his radio
program he told the truth about
the song and quit to 90 back to
Island 81. His place was taken
by LON, but he, too, soon tired
of city life, and they all went
back to Island 81 as spring
flood ruined all but one Of the
houses In which the fishing folk
lived. But everything turned
out all right and Stag and Dena
were married.
Hamilton creates number OF
unusual and outstanding charac-
tiers in the novel and gives the
reader a good picture OF life
among the river folk Of the
South.
