Between Stain, Hitler
BY the Assoeioted Press

The United States, Britain and
France are planning to publish new
facts about secret negotiations with
Nazi Germany by Spain and Russia,
1t was disclosed today.
Details of the prewar Hitler-Stalin
deal to divide Poland will be barred
for the first time in two separate
1,OO0-page volumes now under prep
aration.
Evidence of German, italian and
Russian intervention in the Span
ish civil war will feature a third
volume dealing with Frances rela-
tions with Hitler from 1896 to 1899.
Diplomatic officials said the State
Department, in cooperation with
the British and French Foreign Of
Aces, plans to start publishing these
three documents early next year.
They will be printed in English,
French and German.
Prepared From Captured Records.
They will be but three of the rs
volumes now being prepared by
historians of the three countries
from German records captured by
the American 1st Army in the clos
ing DAYS of the war. The research
ers had to burrow through $50 tons
Of documents to sift out the essen
tial material.
Soviet RuSsia's relations with Ger
many will not be dealt with in sep
arate volumes, but will be included

Nazi foreign policy prior to the cut

Dewey Outlines
Master Plan to
Curb Initiation

San Francisco, Sept. 25-(AP)
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey called
tonight for a "great unsurge of
production" as the keystone of
a six point program to curb in
flation.
The Republican presidential
nominee laid down the blueprint
in renewing his charge that
the Democratic Administration
'has for years been openly, a.
vowedly, deliberately discourage
ing production and trying to raise
prices"
In major campaign address
Dewey said:
"Those policies have reflected
the administrators basic lack
of understanding of the simple
fundamentals of our economic
system and its tragic lack of
faith in the future of America"
The New York governor out
lined this anti-inflation program
to an audience at Civic Center:
l. II propose that we bring to
Washington an administration an
able and honest men and women
who have the courage to tackle
this problem of high prices and
initiation, and to tackle it effec-
lively"
2. IT propose that we put a
brake on Unnecessary government
spending"
8. Zone of the most effective
ways to stop initiation is reduce
the national debt"
4. 81 promise you that in your
next administration there will
be no place, high or low for
anyone who will speculate in
grain-or any other commodity
at the price of human misery"
S. II propose to bring to Wash
ington men and women of in
tegrity whose aim is not help
themselves but to help Am :
erica"
6. GAS perhaps the most i'm
portant step, I propose that we
start vigorously supporting our
American system of free oppor-
tunity by a government which
has faith in it and wants it to
succeed"

Pea Grows in Shape
OF Small Green Snake

Miss Kate Jones, who lives on
the. Weldon road and who also
grows peas in her garden,
thought she had started growing
little green snakes on her pea
vine yesterday.
A closer inspection of the
SNAKE, however, proved to her
immense relief that it was jst
another of those oddities that
make Nature a fascinating SUBJ
ject.
The lady-finger pea which so
closely resembled young snake
had for some underlined reason
chosen to coil itself around just
like a reptile, and the illusion
was heightened by a large pea
in the pod at one end
ing just like a snakes head with
a short black tongue sticking
out.
Miss Jones said she did not
particularly mind snakes, but
she said she is glad they have
not started growing on vines.
