life isn't necessarily accurate"

I think you have better luck with
the Germans than in most any

Mrs. Fromm finds two demands
rapidly gaining ground in Ger
many: ~ for union and ~ for
strict neutrality in the life-and-
death struggle between Commun-
lists and the free world.
"Most Germans now believe they
constitute the balance of power in
Europe" she said, "and are pre-

Nationalist say Germans are the

NEW YORK, Feb. Is. (INS)-
Just 10 years ago, thousands of
Americans were reading a fascin-
ating best seller called ttBlood and
Banquets." It was an e~ngrossing,
first-hand account of Nazism and
Nazis, by a woman who had known
the whole kit and kaboodle, includ-
ing Hitler, before she was forced
to flee her native land in 1888.
Ten years ago, the author, Bella
Fromm Welles, was doing her
best to rouse America to the hor-
rors o fthe Hiterian regime.
Today, Bella Fromm (as she is
still known professionally here
and is Germany is doing her best

of Democracy in her adopted land,

Bocchicchio was resigned to the
inevitable after seeing the miser-
able performance Maricano made

It is true Marciano won in seven
rounds, but he proved he is still
only a rough, tough club fighter
who has a lot to learn. And after
that sorry showing Bocchicchio
realized that there could be no

can democracy doesn't exist. Oh,
perhaps, they don't want to think
it exists"
Every year since the end Of
the war, Mrs. Fromm, who has
been an American citizen for sew
eral years, returns to Germany to
insist that Democracy does exist
here and to try to spread the Cos
pei from the lecture platform and
among her friends.
And they listen. For Germans
have not forgotten Bella Fromm,
who was an 18-carat parsonage in
pre-Hitler Berlin. AS the .diplo-
matte and social editor and cor
respondent Of the then powerful
Ullstein newspaper and magazine
Empire, Mrs. Fromm was known
all over Europe.
IT still feel we Americans could
accomplish more with the Ger
mans on a personal level than with
lectures and big name speakers"
she said. '"The Germans seem es-
pecially to resent American Ice
lures who speak German with an
American accent.
"But if we could sit down and
talk with Germans in their homes
or catch them unawares-," she
continued.
Mrs. Fromm caught a fairly
large audience unawares in Salz-
burg last summer.

"The store keeper simply could
not believe it. He said surely the
servants did the carving in the
kitchen. I insisted my daughter
and son-in-law had no servants
and that the latter, like most
young American husbands and
fathers, carves at the table.

woman with the auburn hair.
