Nazis Bring Back Hitler To Stay Unrest At Home

icy loneliness of genius, and Hitler knows everything. No details are hidden from him and he has @ sixth sense enabling him to see what is hidden from others. If the world really knew what his message meant and what love he possesses for his own people and for humanity, the world would surely desert false gods and worship him. Hitler is truth per sonified." One must know the style of Goebbels, also read his new ar- ticle in the German original to un- derstand that perhaps for the first time Goebbels is badly frightened.
 FEAR REACTION
 His analysis HFIitlers speech is another indication that thing s aren't going well on the German home front. Most interesting is the fact that it does not refer to the Rundstedt offensive. This does not mean, as many here believe, that the offensive has failed. It means, however, tha tthe offensive will not live up to the expe ctationS to which the Germans were encouraged; ; namely, ultimate victory. In short, Hitler is anxious to keep from arous- ing hopes and even reminding the Germans that such hopes were aroused only forthnight ago, evil dently fearing the reaction already setting in.
 He prefers to prepare the Ger mans for a long war until 1946. The new motive of the German propaganda line as described above, namely, all-out attack on Allied trustWorthineSs, is taken up by Hit Ter extensively when he reminds listeners how often the Allies prom ised immediate victory. However, Hitler admits that something is foul inside Germany by threatening to destroy those who are unwilling to continue the war.
 Other Nazi leaders attempt to deal with unrest on the home front in different way. Ley, in "Angriff," writes that arming the Home Guard, which means arming practically every German, proves that the Nazis can risk trusting every German and that no discontent exists, adding that neither Roosevelt nor Churchill and Stalin could risk this. Such a statement is whistling in the dark when read against background of nervousness and dis content in the Reich. There is no day without news of arrests of of ficers by Himmler, arrests of several and constantly rising epidemic of flu caused by lack of food and medicine and fuel.
 All this goes far towards prov ing that Hitler spoke because he had to, because he is the only person capable of checking rising discontent | and unwillingness to continue the war.

 London, Jan. 8-The reappearance of Adolf Hitler before the micro phone and in public life after a pro- longed and mysterious silence can be interpreted as meaning that things are going badly on the Ger mar home front.
 More than two months ago the press in Am erica and England started a campaign asking the whereabouts of Hitler and ques- tioning whether he actually were still alive. When, in the face of re- peated inquiries in the Allied news papers Hitler remained silent, many concluded that he at least was sick or mad.
 What we failed to understand was that the curiosity and apprehension of the Allied press was of no concern to Goebbels and the Nazi propagan- da machine. Only apprehension and anxiety among the Germans them selves would have necessitated pro ducing Hitler His continued silence simply meant the Germans were not anxious.
 FIGHT ALLIED PROPAGANDA
 However, the fact that the AL lied press and radio went out on a limb suggesting the death or madness of Hitler now provides 8 major victory in psychological war fare for Goebbels. He can say now that the Allies always lie and falsify.
 There are many indications that Goebbels is about to conduct a vig- orous propaganda campaign against Ab1iCO P1OPo6d anus AAAA tA NoN"NANAN ness, combined with campaign es- tablishing Hitler as infallible and a saviour. The start o. this campaign was, of course, the declaration that Hitler had the original idea for the von RundStedt counteroffensive. This alleged fact was proved for Nazi home consumption b. the long account of Leon Degrelle, Belgian Quisling, titled The Fuehrer Thinks Quisling, titled "The Fuehrer Thinks Front und Heimat," German tele- graph service for the forces papers and reprinted in many German pa- pers.
 The story tells about his meet ing with Hitler at headquarters on February 20, 1944. Though times seemed bad then, Hitler was calm, composed, optimistic, Degrelle re- ports. He saw the Fuehrer again in the autumn, Hitler was even more confident, also amazingly rejuven- ated," talking about Degrelle's fam fly and the inevitable socialist revo- lution after the war.

Nutritionist Says
Use Up Frozen Meats

Owners of freezing storage locker
space today were urged to inven-
tory their meat supplies and to use
any that had been in freezing stor-
age as long as one year.
The warning came from the Uni
versity of California, following re-
ports from several sources that
meat and poultry held too long in
freezing storage shows definite de-
cline in quality and taste.
Most meats will hold their quality
and taste for 10 to IL months if the
product is properly wrapped and if
the locker temperature is main
tanned at zero. Pork and ground
meat should not be stored past six
to eight months. The fat of pork be-
comes rancid on long storage.
Freezing storage lockers vary in
their temperature controls, and at
present California has no adequate
legislative program for regulation of
more thans400 freezing storage plants
in the state.

doors reveal on the shelves about
100 objects, including an hour
glass, a celestial globe, books and
musical instruments. The wall
space around the cupboards is
paneled, and benches line the
sides of the room.
However, it is all an optical il
fusion, a fiat surface on which the
uncanny perspective and shadows
are produced by inlays of some
100000 pieces of wood in vast
variety of shapes and colors. So

Experiments Show Ears
Are Tuned to Sound

Extensive studies on guinea pigs
indicate that the ear acts something
like piano or organ in distinguish
ing sounds, according to the Sono-
tone research laboratories. Guinea
pigs were exposed to sounds of
fixed pitch over long periods. Post
mortem examination of the cochlea
in the ears revealed that shrill, high
tones caused degeneration of cells
near the oval window on which the
stirrup acts. Tones of medium
pitch affected the cells in the cen
ter, and low sounds caused changes
in the cells at the far end of the
basilar membrane. From these and
other facts it is believed that the
sound reception fibers, which are of
varying length, like the strings of
piano, respond to notes Of various
pitch, and that each fiber has it's own
vibrating frequency. The action of
the fibers is similar to the response
of piano strings to sounds. If, for
example, the middle "C' note is
sounded in a room, the middle "C'
note on piano, tuned to that sound
frequency, will vibrate. There are
about $4,000 dbers in the ear, sus-
pended in the fluid of the inner ear.
In the case of mixed sounds whose
connponents have various frequen-
cies, it is believed that the fibers
in the cochlea of the ear analyze
the sounds into it's simple waves.
Theoretically the human ear, con-
cludes the Sonotone research labora-
tories, should be able to per-
ceive as many notes as there are
fibers in the basilar membrane-a
scale with $4,000 separate and
distinct notes!

Chimpanzee Family Shows
Scientists a Few Tricks

Human relationships are main
tanned largely through speech and
hearing; and in a lesser way the
voice and ears are important to the
social life of animals. points out the
Sonotone research laboratories.
Many authorities have made stud
les of the use of vocal sounds by
chimpanzee mothers in training their
babies.
When an infant chimpanzee is
very young, the mother at sign of
danger Restraints the young monkey
by force, drawing it to her breast,
chattering the meanwhile. After a
time the infant learns to jump into
the mothers arms, first when the
mothers hand is extended to seize
the child, and later at a suggestive
gesture. Finally, the child learns
to respond to slight squeal. Thus,
the mother achieves social control
by an auditory signal.
Human intelligence is far above
that of monkeys, and human speech
has advanced greatly beyond the
auditory signals of animals. How
ever, it is pointed out. the simple
