In my preceding column I de-
scribed the state of mind of the mid
dle-aged German who had been
anti-Nazi or at least had no con-
nections with the Nazi party. A
study of the gestapo methods has
revealed that it was planned def
nitely to destroy initiative and indi-
viduality. This has greatly compli-
Gated the work of the American adj
ministration of occupied Germany.
AS I said, the gestapo made use
of a definite system of planned
terror"
1t will, realize, be somewhat diff
ficult for a person living in demo-
cratic country to grasp the extent
to which such methods could be ,ap-
piled. First, we must realize that a
totalitarian government is the abso-
lutte antithesis of democracy. In a
democracy the individual is the
unit. The state exists for the individ-
ual. Under Nazi-Fascist totalitarian-
ism, it is not enough to say that the
individual exists for the state. The
individual as concept does not
exist at all. 1.-THE Fascist conception
of the state" said Mussolini, "is all
embracing; outside Of it no human
or spiritual values can exist. I"
It was the first task of the Nazis
to destroy this concept of indi-
viduality. The terror was a part of
the method employed.

Many Were Killed,
Or Were Suicides

Bethlehem describes the three
stages through which the prison
ers passed. The first is the arrest;
the second is transportation to the
camp, which is the hardest to bear,
he says. The last is prison life;
after a period of transition during
which, unless the prisoner either re-
sists physically and is murdered or
resists Unexpectedly and commits
suicide, he is gradually changed"
until he reaches the "old prisoner"
stage. Then his previous nature is
eradicated, his individuality lost
and his subsection complete.
The initial shock was devastating
especially to German, accustomed

If your eyelids are "pinkish" or
veined, thus giving them "pinkish"
look, DO NOT use violet syeshadow
unless you first use base of light
brown eyeshadow, applying the violet
over it. Red is, you know, the basic
tone of violet, so violet shadow
brings out the red or pink in your
eyelids.

I am doing the unusual today: running hand that appeared in my column several weeks ago. Mrs. Glennie Tarbox of San Francisco discovered such an unique defense for this hand that thought you ought to see it.
 When the original hand was played, South cashed the king of diamonds and then led the ace, king and one trump and East had no trouble making the contract.
 But Mrs. Tarbox gives this de- fense She continues with the sec- ond diamond. letting East ruff in dummy. East then leads trump which South wins with the king and leads the third diamond. Now when East leards dummy's last trump South wins with the ace and plays the fourth diamond. East is forced to trump, thus establishing long trump for South.

FOOtLighterS Stage
 Entertaining Comedy

Arthur Johnson and Shirley Rob- inson. cast in leading roles in the Footlighter presentation. of "Vickie' shone like Mars and Venus midst superfluous array of glim- merings last night when the satir- ical farce, written by s. M. Herzig, was given before a capacity crowd at the w .erbury Women's club.
 MT. Johnson, in his first appear ance with the club, played the irate husband of Vickie, who becomes the unwilling host to small army of AwkS (American Wocle-S Camp Service) of which his wife is a member. He was very much at ease and tossed sarcastic comments about with realistic annoyance He can be compared in last evenings presentation onlJ with Miss Rob- inson, who established herself as a capable leadinl lady and supporter in numerous other Footlighter pro- auctions. AS the charming and sometimes coy young woman, torn between her belief in her duty as a member of the Awks and her duty to her husband as wife, she dis played the talents of born actress.
 The supporting cast, if it can be called such, for there was little to support and nothing with which to do the task, were all able players. They undoubtedly tried desperately to get their teeth into their parts, only to discover there WIS little on which to bite. The play was, of course, strictly comedy with little plot and less sense. It was com- plete with colored maid, the girl who just adores' men, and the awkward young thing whose feet have trouble in remaining on the floor. The end of the play was clear in the eyes of the major part of the audience before the second art closed

Mrs. Ross Outlines
 Program of Y. ".

Mrs. Gail Andrews Ross. staff member of the national board of the Y.WC,A., outlined the social, recreational and educational pro- gram of a Y. w., at meeting held last night at St. Johns Parish House. Some fifty women, who are interested in assisting with the organization of a Y. w. here, at tended the session.
 Among the many activities of the Y. w. is the fostering of discussion groups, gym classes, creative art courses and canteen lunch programs, Mrs, Rose explained.
 The national board member en- phasized that a YW.C.A is a fellow ship of women and girls who develop their own program in accordance with their needs, ard that the pro- posed wv. here would follow suit.
 Though the Y. w. is interested in working with various women's groups, including the white collar, industrial, unskilled and professional employees, the National Y. w., she said, discourages the development of permanent residences because they interfere with program activi- ties. A registry of available rooms or housing facilities for such pur- pose is considered the better plan, she said
 The membership fee. usually $1 A year is set by the local branch which is independent from the na- tional association, Mrs Ross stated. Facilities. however, are available to non-memberS, she added.
 Miss Mary F. HenneSsey, chair man of the Y. w. initiating con- mittee, presided at the meeting which was called to acquaint women and girls with the functions of a Y.WC.A.

Unusual Musical
Program Heard
By Chapter Az

A charming musical program of
mid-nineteenth century music, built
around the 113-year-old square,
rosewood piano of Mrs. Forrest
KutZ, was presented Monday after
noon for members of Chapter AV,
PEG, who met at the Kutz home
on Len Rey.
After luncheon was served by the
hostess, Mrs. Chancellor Livingston
introduced the program, asking her
audience to pretend it was an after
noon in 1867. All the music played
by Mrs. Livingston and sung by Mrs.
Laura Mcfarland was written before
that time and was suited to the
tones of the heirloom piano.
Mrs. Livingston opened the pro-
gram with piano selections as fol-
lows: "Chaconne" (Roubier) An
dante Trio No 7 Beethoven
and "Adagio in E Major" (Haydn)
Mrs. McFarland's first group in
cluded Dedication" FRANZ "Hark
Hark the Lark" (Schubert and
, "Nymphs and Shepherds" tPurcelD j..
Her second group, later in the pro-
gram opened with on Wings of
Song" (Mendelssohn), followed by
Drink to Me Only with Thine
Ewes" CMullish) and when Love is
Kind" iPurcelD.
Continuing her piano selections,
many of which were re-arranged to
fit the 2 octave piano, Mrs. Liv-
ingSton played Venetian Boat
Song" MendelSSohn, prelude No.
7" (Chopin and "Impromptu in A
Flat" (Schubert.
Closing the afternoon she pre-
sented "Erotik" (Grieg), "The
Water Lily (Gottschalk) and
Waltz in A Flat" CBrahms). The
latter composition was comparative
ly new in 1867, the day the con-
cert was supposed to be taking
place, and Mrs. Livingston predict
ed great popularity for it. She
also gave a short talk on the dif-
ferent schools of music in this
outstanding musical era.
