NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-(P)-Llqul-
dalton due to revival OF short war
talk brought the sharpest stock
market reaction this week since
early September and leaders gen
orally continued to operate on the
downside in today's short session.
Armament issues, partlc-
ularly rails, retreated briskly Mon
day as the news from Europe
frightened appreciably and in
spired apprehension over industrial
reconversion problems should the
Nazis suddenly fold. Prime Minis
ter Churchill's warning that the
conflict would be prolonged until
the foe surrendered Internationally
steadied trends Tuesday. There
was a fast comeback Wednesday,
paced by electronics and special
ties with favorable peacetime pros
poets.
The direction was reversed
Thursday as the Russian drive to-
ward Germany picked up momen-
tum and the business transition
picture k n macketWise.
Prices dipped Friday on restricted
volume.
Additional Soviet successes in
spired more shelving of commit
ments today although extreme de-
clines running to or more points
were shaded in a number of cases
by late short covering. Throughout
the session stretch initiation ply
chology, split-up proposals and in
dividual situations persisted as
partial props for sentiment. .,
Wall street found nothing to
cheer about in the move of the
SEC. to abolish floor trading by
stock exchange members for their
own account although selling on
this development was limited.
The Associated Press 60-stock
average was off IS of point at

PRESCRIPTION FOR THE NAILS
go eessssessesss


The Gcs'apo takes no chances,
be said, After the purge of gen
erals, for instance, all Kiel citi-
zcnS who before Hitlers advent
to power had been members of
the Socialist party were arrested,
even if they had given no cause
of any kind for suspicion. The
Gcstapo instinctivcly felt that
old-linc Socialists are enemies Of
NaIiism.
Asked what hope he had for
postwar democracy in Germany,
this physician said he thought on
one hand that thorough cduca-
ton in democratic principles must
be provided, on the other hand,
however, faith in democracy can
quickly be established if sOlu-
tionS arc found for the problems
Of scarcity Of homes, medical
care, social security and unem-
plOyment.
Surprisingly, he is convinced
that the largest part of Gcrman
youth is disillusioncd about Nazi-
ism. One sided education, how
ever, has 50 bluntcd its powers
for constructive thinking that he
declared German youth wouldn't
know what to do with freedom
if it were now offered.

BY LOUIS LOCHNER

AP Newsf"atures
LONDON, April 81. - A noted
German physician who managed
to escape Gcstapo clutches and
now is safely out of the country
says it would be folly for the
United Nations to hope for rcvo-
luton within Germany in view
of the tight grip held by Hmm
lem.
thousands of little fires of re-
bellion are burning throughout
the Reich" he said, but they are
constantly being put out before
they can unite with others into
a big blaze.
Besides, the Nazi teachings
plus Gcstapo persecution have
bluntcd constructive political
thinking. .."
Using his home town, Kicl, as
an example, the doctor claimed
enthusiasm for Naziism is OK
trcmely low. Even among Ger
mans enrolled as party members,
he said only five per cent showed
fanatical belief in the Fuehrcl
and the movement. He labeled
90 per cent as unprincipled time
servers who now regret ever haV-
ing joined, and says 30 per cent
enrolled because they had to, and
five per cent are totally indif-
ferent.
How cowed the average Ger
man is by Gestapo terrorism was
illustrated to the physician when
he made his escape. Eight others
had conspired to flee with him,
among them doctors, clergymen
and apothecaries. Yet when the
moment for a brcakout came,
they all faltered, fearing the con-
sequences of possible capture.

Robert S. Allen. who, for many

quent visitor in Key West and
later bought home here, has had
an arm amputated, according to
information County Attorney

When this country entered the

column wholly to MIR. Pearson
and enlisted in the military in

States Army, and has since been
advanced to the rank of colonel.
He was ambushed while with
an advanced unit in Germany,
and his arm was so badly mangl-
ed it had to be cut off.
Before the war, he was a fam
liar figure in Key West riding
about town, stripped to, the waist,
on a bicycle. He had acquired a
heavy coat of tan during his last
trip here.
Mr.. Allen had travelled widely,

TWO LETTERS SENT TO ERNEST

Representative B. c. Papy has
taken a hand in the discussion
about the proposed Everglades
National Park, and to what OK
tent will be explained by the fol-
lowing letter he sent to Ernest
F. Coe, director:
Your letter of April Goth re-
ceived and note that you are
deeply disappointed over the
remarks ! made on the Floor of
the House of Representatives in
regard to taking in the Bay
Bottom Lands and part of the
Key Largo and Lower Mate
cunibe Keys The people of my
county are strictly opposed TO
taking in the Bay Bottom lands
and also any part of the Flor
Aida Keys for the Everglades
National Park. and am only
expressing the voice of my peo-
pie when ! express my views
on the Floor of the House: I
sincerely hope this is an Ever
glades National Park instead of
a Florida Keys National Park.
For your information. Fort
Jefferson. which is a National
Monument. has signs all over
the fishing area that you are
not to remove any fish ard
that no fishing will be per-
mitted within the area desig-
mated as the Fl. Jefferson Ma
tional Park The keeper of that
Park sometime back destroyed
the turtle nets of fishermen and
also put some fishermen in Jail
for catching conchs for COM
mcrcial use. so wish YOU
would check into this matter
and find out for yourself just
what happens to the Bay Bot
tom Lands when they are taken
over for National Monument or
National Parks.

Mr.. Coe:

sonal property had been turned
over, knew there was no will. A
few hours after the original cable
came in, Miss Funnel was able
TO reply by cable to London.
Another case was solved with
out even a phone call. A member
of the English armed forces wrote
in that he wanted to get in touch
with his one and only relative
an aunt who had emigrated from
Austria to America. The service
man had lost all track of his aunt
for several years. That was one
case in, which the bureaus rou-
tine checking of its own files of
cases paid off-for there was the
aunt ON record as having applied
for-..fipancial assistance previ-
ously. II &Hf
Case of the Missing Cowboy
On the other land, there are
the long-term headache cases like
! the rodeof cowboy whom Miss
Funnel had been chasing fol
years after he left,his wife and
children in England. The cow
boys name was Shorty, Miss Fun
nell remembers, and when she
finally caught UP with him via
letter, she discovered Shorty was
about seven feet tall. He came
down to her office, Respondent n

some free rodco tickets and cvap-

In the 1920s and l930s, the bu-
rcau disposed Of several thousand

but the organization Of more pub
lie welfare agencies who deal di-
rectly with these matters cut
down Intercity'S load. Even with
the decrease, however, no two
cases are alike.
