What power is it that can
debase thousands of men so
that they can commit the acts
OF wanton and deliberate
cruelty performed by the IS
and other Nazi organizations
during World War II.
The answer lies here in the
words Of a junior IS officer
in his candid biography Of his
life when Adolf Hitler was
the hysterical god Of millions
Of Germans.
1.-The Black March" follows
Hauptsturmfuhrer Neumann
through his experiences in
the terror-laden years 1886
as. The process of turning
Peter Neumann from a gen.
tie youth into a hardened
murderer apparently began
with his harsh and pitilesS
training in the SIS establish
ment where he swallowed
whole the Nazi theories of
world domination. superman
and swaStika worship.
once cast in the Nazi mold,
Neumann and his 5th Viking
IS Division invade Russia
and from that point to the
final retreat into Austria. the
entire book is the story Of a
jloodbath. The wholesale ex-
acutions Of friend and foe
alike have overtones of Got

So
In 1910 Bella Bartok. with
his wife Ditta. fed his native
Hungary to live here where
he hoped to continue COM
posing and hoped, too, with
his wife, to earn money at
the piano.
Almost so, he had five more
years to live. Mrs. FasSett,
who studied in Budapest
where Bartok taught. met the
fugitiveS in New York.
helped them find and fur
nish an apartment, had them
as her guests, and remained
q family friend and retainer
till Bartok's death.
This was an association Of
hero and hero-worshiper,
the sort Of thing that has
ruined many a biographer.
But Mrs. Fassett has not
allowed her love for Bartok's
genius and music to inter-
fere with her love for the
truth.
There is precious little
about music in these pages

instead is the picture of a

power that drives ruthlesSly

his way. This directness, this

SOCIAL SECURITY
By EARL w. TRINKLE
Field Representative

Family economic security should
be carefully planned to include
potential insurance benefits pay
able under the Social Security Act.
Quite often the general public UNI
derestimates the amount of money
of the breadwinner in case of his
OF her death, or to a family upon
the retirement of the wage earn
'er. Collectively, a household may
receive from minimum of $33 to
a maximum of 1854 per month in
surance benefits based on the So
cial security earnings of the wage
Garner. The monthly amount is
computed on the basis of average
salary or self-employment earn
ings and is set up so that each
entitled individual is included when
check is issued.
A widow, 62 or over, or regard
less of her age if she cares for a
child beneficiary, may receive sur
vivor benefits on her husbands
earnings; dependent children, aged
parents, and aged widowers, may
also qualify. In addition, lump
sum death payment is available
and may be paid to the widow or
widower or to the person who
