shall not easily forget the night
Of April 1924. with its uncanny feel
ing of impending disaster. Himmler
arrived at the Lubbock branch of the
Swedish Legation about half an
hour before midnight. Immediately
after, the sirens sounded their warn

During the hour we spent in the
AFRAID shelter, he struck me as
being utterly exhausted and in q
very nervous state.
When the "all clear" sounded, we

legend which, after the fall of tht
Third Reich, would play the same
part as the stab in the back" phras,
after the peace of Versailles.
If the Allied nations had the in.
tention OF crushing the German
people, Himmler said, then Hitler
would come to be regarded as tht
greatest of their heroes.
(All I personally have expert
enced and learned has firmly
convinced me that the myth that
Hitler died fighting on the bar
ricades of his capital must be de-
stroyed once and for all.
(Adolph Hitler was in the
spring of 1945 a psychologically
and physically sick man. A
heroic act was the last thing of
which he was capable. His de-
cision to stay in Berlin was al
most certainly due to his knowl-
edge that, whatever happened,
only short time remained for
him to live.
(The accounts of his last heroic
| fight are a pure myth. He died
like hunted man, and as a cow
ardly man; as cowardly as all his
henchmen showed themselves in
the days Of the breakup)
The conference went on.

Dan Tracy Gets More Authority Labor Dept.
Former I.B.E.W. Chief Re- places Moran; Given Ad-
 ministrative Supervision

A significant reshuffling in the top administration of the Depart ment of Labor occurred this week.
 Edward C. Moran, Jr., one-time Maine Congressman, who had been brought in by Secretary of Labor Lewis B. Schwellenbach as second assistant, resigned after only four months in the position. He did SO, he said, in order to give more time to his insurance business in Rockland, Maine.
 At the same time, administrative supervision of the department, which had been in Moran's hands, was transferred by Schwellenbach to Dan W. Tracy, first assistant secretary and former president of the Electrical Workers.
 This action was taken on the eve of Tracy's own planned resignation from the department The resignation was slated to take effect December 1, but Schwellenbach induced the vet eran union chieftain to remain.
 DRAFTED BY 'sF. D."
 Tracy has been in the department since March, 1940. He was virtually drafted for the job by the late Presi- dent Roosevelt, who felt that an able, experienced union leader was needed

to assist former Secretary Frances Perkins during the crucial period while America was embarking on great defense program, in which or ganized labor played key role.
 In subsequent years, Tracy be- came thoroughly familiar with the department and did an outstanding job in settling a number of critical industrial disputes. Prior to Secre- tary Perkins resignation, Tracy himself was working on a plan for reorganization of the department and for uniting under its roof va rious scattered labor agencies. He had made considerable progress along that line.
 WITHDRAWS RESIGNATION
 However, after Schwellebach was named secretary by President Tru- man, the tack of "Streamlining" the department was given to Moran. Schwellenbach hoped to have that job completed within two months, but it is still unfinished.
 Meanwhile, Tracy was reported by associates to be frankly dissatisfied with the turn of events and to feel that his experience was not being put to sufficient use. As a result, he sent in his resignation.
 He has now recohsidered, and it is understood he will concentrate on the task of efficient reorganiza. tion of the department. Labor leaders welcomed Tracy's decision to remain, declaring that would help make for stronger depart menf

 Policies, Aims Of Family Agencies
Casework Service Aid To Individuals Described
 By Miss Baker

A full description of the services to the community by the various family agencies was presented to the Labor Participation Committee by Miss Dorothy L. Baker, executive secre- tary of the Family Society, at a meet ing of the committee held at 165 Elm St. last Tuesday. Miss Bakers talk and discussion included the work of her agency, and of the Jewish Family Service and the Catholic Social Serv- ice Bureau.
 Miss Baker stressed the casewOrk services of the agencies as means of helping people to meet their personal and family problems. The meeting was the third in series of sessions devoted to discussions of local social services, and the role labor can play in making these services known, and i'm helping to form the basic policies of the agencies. Featured was the fact that the Community Chest and Council of Social Agencies Infor. nation Service, telephone 8-6l6l, welcomes inquiries about the serv- ices of the public and private agen- cies.

means a pacifist force in the world. The working people of Germany had not forgotten in 1883 how heavy the yoke of the warlord can be.
 The Nazi program required that this part of the German population not only be stripped of power to re- sist diversion of its .scanty comforts to armament, but also be wheedled or whipped into new and unheard of sac rihces as a part of the Nazi war preparation. Labor must be cowed, and that meant its organizations and means of cohesion and defense must be destroyed.
 The purpose to regiment labor for the Nazi Party was avowed by Robert Ley in a speech to workers on May 2, l933, as follows:
 You may say what else you want, you have the absolute power. True We have the power, but we do not have the whole people, we do not have you workers 100 per cent, and it is you whom we want; we will not let you be until you stand with us in com plete, genuine acknowledgment"
 FIRST ATTACK
 The first Nazi attack was upon the larger unions. On April 21, 1033, an order not even in the name of the Government, but of the Nazi Party was issued by the conspirator Robert Ley as "Chief of Staff of the politi- cal organization of the NSDAP," ap- plicable to the Trade Union Confed- eration and the Independent Employes Confederation. It directed seizure of their properties and arrest of their principal leaders.
 The Party order directed Party organs which we here denounce as criminal associations, the SA and the SS, "to be employed for the occupation of the trade unon properties, and for the taking into custody of personalities who come into question" And it directed talk. ing into protective custody'' of all chairmen and district secretaries of such unions and branch directors of the labor bank.
 These orders were carried out on May 2, 1o33. All funds of the labor unions, including pension and benefit funds, were seized. Union leaders
