List OF 200 American
Nazis Found In Files

MUNICH, Nov. 1-UH-A secret
list classifying the names of more
than 200 American Nazis has been
discovered along with the sketch
of a swastika flag designed to fly
over the United States in 1851, it
was disclosed today.
The list was unearthed from
more than % tons of Nazi party
files by military government work
ers under the direction of Mai.
William Browne, former Portland,
Ore. detective.
Americans in every major city
from coast to coast were listed
definitely as Nazi party members.
Officials would not disclose the
names but sail they were being
forwarded to government and mill,

'TEEN-ACERS GET
QUARTERS AGAIN

The teen-agers, numbering about
800 strong, will meet beginning
Monday at their new headquarters
in the Princess building as the City
Recreation department moved their
office and equipment yesterday
from the ground floor of 223 Prln-
cess street to the second floor OF
the same building.
Beginning next Monday the pro-
grams formerly planned for teen
ayers, adults and servicemen at
these two clubs will be resumed
on the second and third floors OF
the Princes street buildings,
Jesse Reynolds, city recreation d.
rector announced. The building
will remain open from 9 o'clock
In the morning until II at night
IS a community recreation center.
Special program directors will be
assigned to the building during the
nighttime hours.
The teen age group, which
numbers around 300 members,
has, since the closing of the Wood
row Wilson Hut, been without a
regular meeting place and the ia
cilities, furnished by the city, will
be available to 'teen-agers every
day after school from $3.50 O'Clock
until 6 pm. and on Friday nights.
A seven person committee OF
'teen-age boys and girls serves as
an executive committee to plan
special functions for the club, such
as formal dances, or football
jamborees. Dues Of rs cents a
month are collected from the
members to cover the costs of the
special activities of the teen-age
group.
In addition to the presently
scheduled activities, such as ping
pong, bridge, table games, al
ready provided at the club, the
'teen-age group is planning to
broaden its programs to include
handlcrdft SklllS, mar1OnetteS ana
possibly dramatics. Reynolds said.
The Second and Orange street
USO, which has served as Fri
daylight meeting place for the
group since the closing of the
Woodrow Wilson Hut, may con-
tinue to be used for unusually
large functions, he said, although
this policy will be reviewed later.
Though there is no plan now for
the opera t i o n of the Princess
stree. recreation center on Sum
days, Reynolds said that if need
for it is proved in the future, the
office will be opened after 2
o'clock on Sunday afternoons.

powerful Ford in the history OF the
company. Pre-war Fords were
equipped with V-8 engines develop
ing 80 horsepower.
The chief exterior change is a
newly designed radiator grille. The
louvres are fewer in number and
larger.
Other exterior changes include a
new hood ornament and a more
elaborate rear deck ornamentatlon.
In addition a complete line OF col
ors will be available in the long
wearing, durable Ford synthetic
enamel paints.
Luxury and eye-appeal are &C.
centuated in the interiors. Instru-
mentation is generally the same,
but the styling and color schemes
of the instrument panel are new.
Upholstery will be available In
mohair-broadc1oth of sever
shades. Imitation wood grain panels
have given way to subdued panels
that blend into the general interior
color scheme.
Durable, eye-appealing art-leath-
er decorates the door panels and
interior trim.
An improved ride and better
reliability, especially at high
speeds in cross winds or on curves
is assured by the use of improved
type springs and shock absorbers
and the addition of rear-end sway
bar.
The thickness of the spring leaves
has been reduced and their number
increased.
Shock absorbers have improved
oil seals to prevent loss of fluid.
The brakes also have received
considerable attention. They are
new and require less pedal pres
sure.
A Lincoln-type hand brake lever
has been adopted as standard
equipment on all Ford Models.
Radiator brackets have been fe-
designed to prevent radiator cor
ners from breaking and causing
leakage.
Longer motor life is assured by
the new tri-alloy bearings with
which all Ford-made automobiles
will be equipped.
Improved cooling has b n
achieved by the adoption of new
radiator pressure cap that main
tains a constant pressure of five
pounds inside the radiator.
Aluminium pistons equipped with
four rings will be standard on all
models.
A new standard in fuel economy
has been achieved despite an in
crease in horsepower.
The fuel pump has been improv.
ed by adding a sediment bulb that
can be easily removed for cleaning.
Longer life for the camshaft
timing gear has been obtained by
changing over to aluminium,
A newly designed distributor vir-
tually eliminates possibility Of

sulting from condensation or water
seepage.

Valves on the new engines have
been moved outward from the
cylinders permitting improved wa
ter jacketing and better cooling.

New Ford Contains More Mechanical
improvements Than In Precious Models

Cylinder block heads for new va
engines have been made inter-
changeable, requiring a change in
gasket design.
Possibility of over heating under
adverse conditions has been dealt
another blow by the development
of a new oil pump that circulates a
greater volume of oil through the
engine fabrication system at high
er pressure.

London Is Vast City Of

attacks. 1t is at once obvious that
civilian homes rather than military
establishments have felt the major
effects of this ordeal.
The first impression we have of
London is that of vast, low lying
and sprawling city of homes, apart
ments, factories, parks, and multi
tudes of busy people. Brick and
limestone masonry predominant the
scene with myriads of crooked tile
extensions protruding from every
brick or stone chimney. We get an
impression of millions of gnarled
fingers pointing toward the clouded
skys overhead.
In every direction we can notice
vacant lots with occasional charred
brick walls, some already partially
covered with vines, grim reminder
of the unhappy winter days of
'40-'41.
Waterloo station is a large rail
road terminal with 90 odd tracks
emanating from points west, south
west and northwest. Thousands of
soldiers of the Allied nations pre-
dominate the scene. Baggage hust-
lers, postal employees, porters and
women workers scurry about the
platforms, coaches and engines in
preparation for the next runs.
Hundreds of freshly trapped rab-
bits lie waiting on the platform for
handlers to carry them away to the
large city markets to augment the
rather inadequate meat supplies.
Passengers, mostly in uniform, lit
orally tumble out of the numerous
doors of the individual compartments
of the coaches. Mostly they take off
for the nearby Underground (sub-
way to Americans) where they are
whisked away to Picadilly, Oxford
Circus, Trafalgar Square, Charing
Cross, Marble Arch, Leicester Square
or some other centrally located sta
ton.
TRANSPORTATION
London is a very easy city in
which to move about. The under
ground is the most popular and per-
haps the speediest means of travel.
1t is very neat and modern.
Swift moving escalators move US
quickly to the subterranean plat
forms. Automatic venders provide
excellent ticket purchasing facilities.
BY depositing from one to six pen
mes (about u cents to dime) in
the machines we automatically re-
ceive a small cardboard ticket for
our chosen destination.
The underground coaches are fast,
light, comfortable and easily boarded
as the entrance to the coaches is
flush with the platforms. However,
they are invariably crowded.
Diagrams of the stations and the
entire underground system posted on
the ceiling of each coach make it
simple to get to the proper station.
The underground is very deep at
many stations and has provided ex-
cellent shelter and protection during
the numerous air raids.
The colorful double-decker buses
provide patrons frequent and rela-
lively fast surface travel. Lady con-
ductors move about the buses selling
tickets rather than bother you as you
enter.
If you wish to get good view of
the city the front seats in the upper
deck are ideal. Invariably a kindly
old English lady or gentleman is
pleased to oblige as temporary
guide.
The taxis really offer the most
romantic personal means of locomo-
ton. Vintage of the middle '30's,
small and g';stening black, and large
enough for five passengers if you
