News Analyst Probe
Brings Move 10 Drop
Un-American Unif

A push to do away with the con-
troversial House Committee Investi.
eating Un-American Activities has
been started by its critics,
The action was prompted by 9
threatened investigation by the
committee of news analysts. Op-
ponents of tae committee declared
such a probe would be an attack or
freedom of speech and thought
through the press and radio"
Representatives Patterson, Demo-
crat, of California, and Hook, Demo-
crat, of Michigan, are leaders of the
movement to do away with the COM
mittee. They asserted they have
support of "a large group of lib
erals" in the House.
Mr. Patterson introduced bill
late Friday to accomplish their pur-
pose. He told reporter:
"A large number of us have op-
posed this committee right along,
because it has a record which is
un-American.
Thoroughly Sickened."
"We are thoroughly sickened with
1t now, and it seems appropriate to
act when the committee starts to
move in on our fundamental free
doms.
"The Investigation of the news
columnists and radio commentators
is complete violation of the prin-
ciple of free speech.
When we intimidate people by
scrutinizing what they. say, we are
curtailing and suppressing their
right to think in the open.'
Mr.. Hook reported that Mr.. Pat
terson and he are circulating a
round-robin petition among men,
bers, calling on the Rules Commit
tie to act on their legislation. 1t
would strike from the House rules
the section setting up the un-
American investigating group.
The study of output of news COL
umnists and radio commentators
was announced during the week by
Committee Counsel Ernest Adam
son. He said the group wanted to
scrutinize the writings and speeches
to see if they are subversive."
Move Has Backing.
Several committee members told a
reporter they planned to back Mr..
Adamson in his move. Chairman
Wood commented that Mr.. Adam
sons action was merely a routine
checkup, to help define what is un-
American and what is not" Mr..
Wood emphasized that no scripts.
columns or their authors had been
subpoeaned by the committee.
Commenting on the move by Mr..
Patterson and Mr.. Hook, Represent
ative Rankin, Democrat, of Missis-
sippi declared; These attempts to
abolish this important committee
will fail, as they have in the past.
We are doing an important work
and these people just don't like it
because it hits some of their friends" p"
Mr.. Rankin led the fight in the
House last January to set up the
group as a successor to the COM
mittee headed by former Represent
ative Dies, Democrat, of Texas.

PARIS, Feb. 17.-If Hitler,
Goering and Won Ribbentrop should
decide to retreat to their mountain
lairs on the German Austrian
border they might be able to avert
their doom for a considerable time.
Their success would depend upon
their personal guards remaining
loyal and willing to fight.
These three Nazi bigwigs have
summer homes less than so miles
from each other.
Goering's hunting lodge is near
Rosenheim, Bavaria.
Hitler has hideouts both at Ober-
salzberg near Berchtesgaden and
atop the Kehlstein Mountain close
to the Austrian border.

Berchtesgaden lies along the
western shore OF q mountain stream
known as Die Ache. Crossing 1t In
an easterly direction one faces the
Untersalzberg Oower Salt Noun
tain). Hitler's home Is located on
the edge of Obsersalzberg Upper
Salt Mountain).
There, about 2h miles from the
Ache River, Hitler inherited typi-
cal Bavarian chateau from his late
friend, the Nazi poet Dietrich Eek
art, who participated in the Nazi
beer hall putsch in 1928.
About 200 yards above the Eckart
home there had been spacio2S

The almost continuous sunshine
on the porch during the day led to
reports that the house, built In typi-

II Hitler and his satellites should
decide to entrcnch themselves In
Upper Bavaria they have great
advantage in the terrain. The
mountains behind them become ever
higher as the Bavarian Alps merge
into the Tyrolean and these In turn
into the Dolomites and the Swiss
Alps. Abundant mountain lakes
afford many hideouts. Only 4 few
miles south Of Berchtesgaden is
Bavaria's most famous lake, the
Koenigsee. The mountains around
1t rise to $500 feet. 1t has numerous
little bends and bays, thus making
detection Of hiding persons dificiilt.
Escape Is Possible.
Though Obsersalzberg to the un-
initiated seems like q dead-end
alley, there is q rear escape In the
direction OF Austrian Salzhurg, which
is only about is miles from Hitler's
chateau. Salxburg has caves where
in many people could lose them
selves.

randa commanding a splendid view
of the mountains.
AS Hitler's popularity rose in
1881, Nazi devotees often sat many
hours on the veranda looking
down in the direction Of Hitler's
home. until finally the Fueher
would step out on the porch and
wave Hitler salutes in their direc-
ton.
Road Is Private. e..
After Hitler became chancellor
the road became private one.
Only with a special pass could one
drive or walk to Obsersalzberg. The
hotel was converted into auxiliary
Offices, the Eckhart house was
greatly expanded, big garages were
erected; SIS guards studded the way
up to Hitler's citadel and fairly
oozed, seemingly from nowhere,
when one entered the sacred pre-
clncts.
The Fuehrer, whom DR.. Joseph

with regard to personal tastes, soon
filled his mountain retreat with
costly paintings, tapestries. sculp-
lures and the like. His guest rooms
had exquisite appointments. Eek
arts modest windows were removed
and one gigantic pane installed for
the expanded living room, thus Civ
ing a splendid view Of Watzmann
and other white-capped peaks.
Now that Obsersahberg had be-
come a busy beehive-during the
summer it was virtually an ersatz
capital-Hitler suddenly found he
did not have solitude enough for
doing his global and possibly inter-
planetary dreaming. So he picked
bleak Kehlstein Mountain, whose
summit can be reached only by the
chamois. There he erected his
unique aerie.
This meant construction of a road

In Austria, about Is miles outside
Salzburs.
Hitler's Gestapo chief, Heinrich
Himmler, likewise, has summer
home in the Bavarian Alps on an
other of it's enchanting lakes-either
Chiemsee or Tegernsee. He, too,
can easily communicate with the
other three.
Homes Are Fortified.
The country homes of all four are
heavily fortified. In addition they
enjoy the unusual advantage of
having mountainous country all
around them. The highest peaks in
Germany are in the Bavarian Alps.
Hardly has one left Munich in a
southeasterly direction before the
railway and auto roads begin to
rise and soon the eye catches the
snow-capped mountains in the dis
tance, especially Bavaria's famous
Watznann peak.
I never visited the country resi-
dences of Goering, Himmler and
Won Ribbentrop, and hence cannot
describe them. But I once was sum-
moned to Obersalzberg for an inter-
view with Hitler.
The Reichsautobahn, one of Hit
ier's modern superhighways, was
constructed here soon after the
Nazis took over in 1888. It extends
from Munich to the Austrian bor-
der just outside Salzburg. This
stretch is almost 80 miles long. At
Salzburg 1t connects with a first
class ordinary road which takes

guards who constantly surround
them are regarded as the most re-
liable NAzis and could fight with
their backs to the wall afforded by
the mountains.
This fact, perhaps, explains why
the Hitlerites continued the Italian
campaign so bittery instead Of with
drawing behind the Brenner Pass
and thus releasing troops for the
Russian and British-American in
vasiOnS.
Only the narrow neck of Austria
extending between Germany and
Italy to the Swiss border lies be-
tween Brenner and the Nazi

Breed Mosquitoes,

BY DR.. A. ID. GREGG,
Vance County Health Officer.

Many people do not realize that
the little fish pools in their yards can
become pool for breeding squi-
toes. Many Of us blame weeds and
vegetable growth Of some nature for
the prcseCCe of mosquitoes. Those
things do afford cover and DrOtec-
ton from the sun and may be the
cause Of mosquitoes on your lmmc-
date premises. But mosquitoes breed
in water, not weeds. Water and
weeds make a fine combination for
them. 50 if your fish pool contains
much vegetation, especially of a
thick grassy nature, it viii surely
become a mosquito breeder both of
the calaria carrier anCpheleS and the
common nuisance culeX varieties.
Minnor or gold fish viii usually
prevent mosquitoes Matching in a
pool by eating the larvae or Wiggle-
tails as we call the immature mos
quitoes. A thick growth Of any vcge-
tation will prevent the mlnnoWs
