DRoBABLY YOU'VE never thought of
 yourself as maker of history. But you are. And here is how you, as citizen of the United States, are creating the greatest success in all history. :: Remember back in 1941 when the Defense Bonds you were buying sud- denly had to become War Bonds? How you and your neighbors pitched in to buy them in ever-increasing numbers, to back our fighting men and to help achieve the victory of World War II? After VI Day, when those bonds
 became Savings Bonds, you continued to buy them because you had learned how regular saving could build secu- rity and contentment for yourself and those you love.
 The face of the land has undergone some dramatic changes in those years since VI Day. Now the landscape is dotted with new homes that Savings Bonds built Thousands upon thou . sands of new automobiles travel the highways-Savings Bonds cars, bought with the product of individual thrift. On the farms, Bond-purchased equip.

AN A crucial day during World War II
~ damning letter bearing the signature of
leading American manufacturer, key figure

the desk of President Roosevelt.
The letter was addressed to the leader of
Nazi organization. The writer pledged full
cooperation in sabotaging his country.
The President read the letter, penciled a
four-word memo: Send to DR.. Souder."

effects of seasonal humidity had been analysed.
DR.. Souder the detective scientist who
made the investigation, reported the sigma
ture was an exceedingly clever forgery. He
had also caught a small error made by the
Nazi agents who had planted the letter for
our own government agents to ind. The
humidity condition of the typewriter
ribbon and paper didn't check with the
weather prevailing at the time that the
letter supposedly had been written.
Operating from quiet office-laboratory IN

might beat him to the draw under certain
circumstances.
Some of the cases on which he has worked
have been sensational The part he played in
breaking the Lindbergh kidnapping case has
never been told. In trying to discover the
identity of the writer of the $4,000 ransom
notes he probed through literally tons of docu-
ments, including every available letter ever
written to Colonel Lindbergh, Senator Nor

thirteen letters that had direct bearing" he
explains Actually examined almost 10000
letters received by the Morrow and Lindbergh
families"
When Bruno Hauptmann was caught
changing a ransom bill, it was DR.. Souder
who proved he had written the ransom notes.
Before the kidnaper was executed he
remarked grimly to DR.. Souder: dot hand
writing was the worstest thing against me-"
Il was inclined to agree" says the crimi-
