Becomes DisIoyaIty"

for | have never heard that the Communist
party is an illegal organization. | have in
deed, read the opposite: The decision OF the
Supreme Court of the United States holding
that the Communist party is legal and not
subversive.
But this pretext is, in any case, hollow
The drive is plainly against all New Dealers,
all dissenters. Listen, for example, to Con-
gressman Hoffmans explanation of who are
the real targets of this campaign:
"The issue is not whether the individuals
named (by the Committee Un-American
Activities) are Communists. The issue is,
do the people want on the payroll those New
Dealers, those dreamers."
How far removed is this statement from
Herr Won Papen's when he formed his coali-
tion with Hitler in 1888? He declared that
the aim of the government was:
~The elimination OF Social Democrats,
Communists and Jews from leading positions
in Germany"
These are the kinds of practices which re-
veal fascism in its growing state.
What is the game? What's behind this
attack on our civil liberties? When civil
liberties are attacked-whether it is in Ger
many Spain. Italy or Japan-you can be
sure someone is trying 70 put something
over. Ii isn't just contempt for civil I'D
critics, as such. When you're trying to whip
up a war mentality, you can't afford the
luxury of dissent And you can the out
lines of war-mongering here. Dozens of U.
S. senators, heads of national industrial or
qanizations. men high in the State depart
ment-and mentors outside of t-are ring
ing the tocsn for war. And it is the same
crowd that is crushing civil liberties
Now is the time for all Of rs To take our
battle stands The contest is by no means
hopeless, or the prospects bleak. We progress
siyes outnumber the enemy. Our weakness
is that we are dsorganized Our strength
will lie in unitng-in spite of efforts to dis
unite us on phony issues We must work not
as individuals but as organizations-Read

Gently warned.
Those on relief and social security
rolls are suffering the most because
the benefits they receive are far too
small to pay even for food at present

Average pension payments under

The plight of many our aged who

planned
also, reports coming to our agency
indicate that thousands of dependent
children are under-nourished to an
extent bordering on starvation. Many
lack shoes and clothing needed to

Letters have been pouring into the

heart-rending story of the struggle to

were bleeding each other in death struggle
the rallying cry being Red" and "Red-baiter''
And while these anti-Hitler forces were EN-
broiled Hitler seized power.
But power thus achieved was by no means
secure The National Socialists realized that
their only chance of survival was to prevent
the threatened unification of the majority
opposition.
In spite of a popular illusion to the con-
trary, Hitler was punctilious in disarming his
enemies by legal means-at least during
the early days of his regime. 1t isn't that he
particularly wanted to be legalistic but the
German people, like our own, were great be-
levers in their laws and in their constitution
One of the first laws passed in the spring
of 1888 outlawed the Communist party and de-
MED jobs to all Communists. Soon thereafter
the Social Democratic party dissolved.
This took care of the organized opposition,
but there were still dissenters whose only
crime was that they were critics of the regime.
How to take care of them illegally, mind you.
The resourceful Nazis cooked up a new one
1t was called the Loyalty Act-does it have
familiar ring? That law provided loss of job
and penalties for those found to have
g. violated their duty of loyalty to the Reich
and the German people" Gust substitute the
words United States for Reich and you have
our own Loyalty Act).
Every whisper of dissent was interpreted as
and punished by that effective
form of economic pressure, loss of employ
ment.
Thus the Nazis proceeded by Legal means
ostensibly aimed at the Communists but actu
ally designed to eliminate the last vestige of
opposition in Germany, until the only voices
left were those of Herren Hitler, GoebbeIs,
Goering and Company.
1t is a tested historfcar phenomenon that,
once the disintegratinu process of eroding
civil liberties sets in, whether the avowed
target is the Christian or the Communist,
or whoever, it tends to continue until all
civil liberties destroyed. 1t is a sort of
social law of inertia.

NOTE: This article was first delivered
as a speech and has since been widely re-
printed.
Abraham Pomerantz, New York attorney
was chief counsel at the trial of Nazi indus
trialists at Nuremberg.
Our Nuremberg autopsy of Hitler Germany
exploded some popular misconceptions con
cerning the rise of Nazism. One of the most
widely held myths in that when Nazism ar
rived in Germany it came full blown-to a
people predisposed to its virus.
The truth however, is quite different. And
because I feel that there are some ominous
and sickening parallels between Germany,
1888, and America today, I think it would be
helpful briefly to retrace the principal stages
along the road to Hitler's seizure Of power
To begin with it must be recalled that the
Nazis' coup d'etat in January, 1888, was
achieved without their ever receiving a ma
jority of the vote: in fact between the cleo
tions held in July, and again in November
1932-the eve of the coup-the Nazi party
had lost some two million votes. How then
did Hitler accomplish his advent to power?
The decisive tactic used by the Nazis to
divide and conquer the opposition that
old, but ever effective bugaboo, the Red
scare.
The German press and radio were inundated
with tales of atrocities, of the Reichstag fire,
of plots to deliver up the German folk to
Russia. The campaign was so effective that,
after a while the mere use of the epithet
Communist produced a mechanical blind
hate reaction.
Having created this conditioned reflex the
Nazi propaganda machine proceeded to the
second step: the label Communist was
pinned Unfortunately on all opponents of
The Nazi party including, ironically enough,
he inveterate enemies of the Communists,
he Social Democrats. 1t was unnecessary to
PROVE the charge-it was enough to make it.
Soon all of Germany was frantically search
ng for Reds under beds.

that agreement on the limitation Of
ornaments can be reached; and so
that an international police force can
be created to maintain the peace of
the world and to combat aggression

He described the situation as
crisis and voiced an appeal to cong
ress to liberalize social security legis-
lation, so as to relieve the suffering.

Army.Havy Unifieation

THE GREATEST ARGUMENT
in favor Of army-navy unification
was pooling Of supplies. It was
estimated that the taxpayers could
be saved a lot Of money if the
army and navy bought their sup
plies together instead Of bidding
against each other.
However, Secretary Of Defense
Forrestal, supposedly 4 business
man, hasn't even accomplished this
despite the fact that he knew
from recent war experiences how
great this waste was.
The waste that has resulted
from this lack Of uniformity Is
astronomical For example, 80
million dollars worth of tubes
were purchased by the army In
1942-enough to last for 10 years.
Yet the following week another
order was placed for 60 million
dollars worth of tubes-because
the army had to stock different
types. AS a result, army ware
houses Overlooked with tubes
that varied only slightly from
each other. maybe no more than
. prong spaced differently.

Electric Fence May Kill;
Safety Precautions Listed

Electric fences take their toll Of
human lives every year. Most vic
tins are children. Also, many ami
mails are killed. Listed below are
some of the safety rules recon-
mended by the National Safety
council.
Do not use homemade electric
fence controllers; they are not safe.
No fence should be energized
from any electric source except
through an approved controller,
one that meets the safety STAN
dards Of recognized agency. 1t is
important that the controller is
properly installed with good ground
and lightning protection.
Do not tamper with the control
Ter. If it needs servicing return it to
the manufacturer or have repairs
made by a factory-authorized rep
resentative.
Teach children not to tamper or
play with an electric fence.
Avoid locating an electric fence
where the charged wire and a good
ground such as pipe line, pump,
stock tank, pond, irrigation ditch,
or other normally wet ground can
be contacted at the same time.
Identify electric fences, especial
ly those near buildings, property
lines, or roads with prominent
signs.
Provide insulated gate grips for
opening and closing gates.

90 piling of stored elm wood In a
dry building or cellar; "a removing
and burning promptly all elm trees
killed by the disease.
There are three good clues for
spotting the diseased trees, accord
ing to University Of Massachusetts
specialists. Evidence Of Woodpeck-
er work is one. Where strips OF
bark have been removed from tree
limbs it may indicate that wood
peckers are feeding on elm bark
beetles, carriers Of the Dutch elm
disease.
Shepherds crooks are another sign
Of the disease. These crooks are
twisted twigs branching out at the
end Of last seasons growth. Third,
lack of spring buds may indicate
that the trees have been attacked
by the disease.
Early detection of the disease Will
aid control measures. foresters say.

Electricity Serves New
Chore in Poultry House

Electricity has added one more
chore to its list Of poultry opera
tons. It has invaded the egg stor-
age room in battle against mold
and musty odors.
Accompanying picture shows how
this battle is being fought on a
Virginia farm. The armament
consists of two bactericidal lights.
From a central place on the ceiling,
the lights radiate powerful germ
killing rays into every part Of the
room.
The egg storage room has been
free of mold and musty odors
since the equipment was installed
three years ago. AS result, eggs
stored there have been rated as top
