Produce The Body

The announcement of DR.. Hans Fritche, for
mer aide to Goebbels, quoted by the German
radio in Moscow that Hitlers body has been
hidden in place which will be impossible
to find lends strength to the belief that he
is not dead at all-that stories of his death,
as Mark Twain once remarked, are greatly
exaggerated.
The Germans have claimed he died hero
In defense of Berlin The Russians say he
committed suicide, he and Goebbels. But TN

cult to convince large part of the body
polite, here and abroad, that he did not
leave a double to die in his stead and high

MOl0tOv's Bad Manners

Besides being a disputatious man, Commits
sar " NJ Molotov of Russia is openly &C
cused of having bad manners in general. His
behavior in meetings with other delegates at
San Francisco is declared often to more re-
semlble that of an uncouth peasant than the
representative of leading world power; this,
despite pictures showing him with an arm
over the shoulder of Stettinius and Eden and
a broad smile on his face.
While it may be possible to accept some
Of the tales told of him with tongue in cheek,
and, condone other charges on the ground
that he is Handicapped by his inability to I'M
derstand or speak English he gave one ex-
ample of bad manners that cannot easily be
overlooked or forgotten. That was his refusal
to accept an honorary degree from the Uni
versity of California.
Of the Soviet Union to accept will not serve
to strengthen relations between Moscow and
some other capitals, including Washington,
London, Paris and Chungking, all of whose
chief delegates were selected with him for
degrees by the University.
Whatever the Soviet Unions policies may
be- its foreign commissar would find it worth
while to follow the adage, when in Rome,
