Editor’s Note: This is the
jirst of a series of four articles
pased upon the book “Behind
The Steel Wall,” just written
by the Swedish newspaperman
Arvid Fredborg. It presents the
most up to date picture of in
side Germany since American
newspapermen left there in
Déecember, 1941. Fredborg ar
rived in February, 1941, and
left in June, 1943. In more than
two years as Berlin corres

Hitler gives the impression of a
man conscious of the fact that
sand runs rapidly through the
hour glass, says Arvid Fredbors,
widely known Swedish newspaper
man who return home recently af
ter two years in Germahy.
Not only is Der Fuehrer’s his
torical time running out pbut Fred
borg says in his new book, “Be
hind The Steel Wall,” that the
master of Germany is aging him
self.
Fredborg's book, covering the
period since American newspaper
correspondents left Germany, pre
sents a most comppehensive Vview
of the interior workings off Ger
many.
During Hitler’'s numerous ner
vous breakdowns, Fredborg writes,
political power has been in the
hands of Heinrich Himmlex" and
Martin Bormann, two of the most
powerful men in Germany, and
the military control in the hards
of party men.
Bormann, chief of the Nazi party
chancellery, succeeded Rudolph.

Advertising, Is
Government Advice
‘Government Advice
[ e
. WASHINGTON —{(P)—American
business firms should . maintain
their advertising schedules as “a
;cunstructive contribution to the
iwar effort” in the opinion of the
Commerce Department.
Asserting that advertisers con
taining important wartime infor
mation constitutes ‘“‘a. major weapon
of the home front,” the Depart
ment said:
“Phe records show that business
has shared this viewpoint, Com
panies continue to advertise. And
they keyed their messages to aid
ing the government in its prose
cution of the war.”
The Department said in a 96-
page booklet that it realized im
mediately after the Pearl Harbor
attack that advertising would be
an important home front weapon.
“People had to be informed,” it
said, “Talents used so et!ectlvely‘w
in creating a desire for goods could
with equal effectiveness show how
to help win the war.
“At the same time, the Depart
ment of Commerce sensed the dan
ger of a gradual decrease or cessa
tion of advertising either by com
panies that had converted wholly
to war production or by those
whose civilian output had been |
curtailed. In either case carefully
built brand names, trade marks
and goodwill would suffer.
“And so, as liaflson officer be
tween business and government,
this Department has continually
reminded botp of the necessity of
advertising, not only as a means of
maintainicg markets but as 2
mfghty force for social good.
It is evident in the eyes of
BOvernment that advertising has a
;‘ighttul role in wartime and that
tis filling that role successfully.”

Says Corporations
Saved Civilization
Tom Girdler Proposes
~ Four Points For
U. S. Industrial Peace
BY VICTOR HACKLER
NEW YORK — (AP) — *“Since
Dunkerque,” says Tom M. Girdler,
l“civmzation has been saved pri
marily by the industrial corpora
tions of the United States.” §
. “Tom Girdler, jr., is in the Ar
'my,” writes the industrialist in
his autobiography published to
morrow, “so I am aware with as
‘much humility -as any other par
ent of what the young men are
doing and are prepared to do.
“Nevertheless, these young men
could only sacrifice themselves in
brave futility except for their
weapons and equipment. We know
now that there can be mo other
result except victory. Yet all the
superb mechanisms which will en
able them to conquer the enemies
of the United States are the pro
ducts of -this- country’s great in
dustrial corporations and could
have been created in so short a
time by such organizations.”
Girdler's book, written in col
laboration with Bowden Sparks, i 8
called “Boot Straps” (Scribners).
It tells the story of his boyheod
in southern Indiana where his
family had a farm and several
‘cement mills,. of -his career in the
‘stee] industry from: SBB-a-month
foreman of a bolt shop to chair
man of the board of Republic Steel
Corporation, -and of .the formation
of Consolidated Vultee Aircraft
Corp., which Girdler heads.
Girdler offers four points for
consideration to give 'the country
industrial peace:
«First, recognition of the prin
ciples of collective bargaining.
Second, recognition of the right of
employees to join or not to join
any labor organization. Third,
recognition that industrial relations
are ‘human’ relations, and further
that cooperation between men and
management naturally follows mu
tual understanding of each other’s
prolbems. Fourth, legislation fair
ly designed to protect the rights
of both employees and employers.”
