FIFTH COLUMN EVIDENCE
The Dies investigating committee
how has documentary evidence of
Nazi fifth column operations in the
U. S. so explosive that its publica
tion might lead to a complete rup
ture of diplomatic relations with
Germany.
Because of this the committee has
been nervously sitting on the load
of dynamite, uncertain what to do.
It has consulted the state depart
ment, which is just as jittery itself.
In fact, oven more so. The de
partment foresees the inevitable ne
cessity of demanding the recall of a
number of German diplomatic rep
resentatives, with certain retaliation
by Berlin by the ousting of U. S.
officials. In the present delicate
state of U. S.-Axis relations, the de
partment doesn’t want to run that
risk.
So on its urgent advice, the com
mittee is sitting tight and continu
ing its secret probe of the subversive
activities. The documentary evi
dence in the possession of the com
mittee is staggering. It definitely
establishes:
1. That the Nazi government is
directly supervising and financing a
nationwide fifth column campaign to
oppose and obstruct the defense pro
gram, the U. S. government's for
eign policy and aid to Great Britain.
2. That this activity is being car
ried on through German consulates
and German-controlled papers, plus
propaganda agencies of various
kinds.
3. That Nazi consuls get detailed
instructions from Berlin through reg
ular short-wave broadcasts in code.
Column Fuehrer.
Suspected master mind of the Nazi
fifth column is Dr. Manfreid Zapp,
head of the Trans-Ocean News Serv
ice, a propaganda outfit with offices
in New York and Washington. Zapp
came to this country after being
booted out of South Africa by the
British government.
Two of the consuls implicated in
the evidence the committee has
turned over to the state department
are Capt. Fritz Wiedemann, at San
Francisco, and Herbert Scholz, at
Boston.
Scholz has been closely associat
ed with Friedrich Ernst Auhaugen,
Nazi lecturer for “The American
Fellowship Forum,” who was seized
in Los Angeles recently as he was
attempting to board a ship for Ja
pan. The committee is holding Au
haugen as a key witness.
Other evidence in its possession
discloses the existence of a secret
Fascist army in the U. S. running
into the thousands. Chief organizers
of this force have been the Gcr
man-American Bund, the Ku Klux
Klan and other “nationalistic”
groups.

LOST LIBRARY
The favorite story of the Presi
dent’s at present is about a library
that burned down in Georgia. Here’s
how he tells it to callers:
A Georgia politico called on him
with a sorrowful plea to use his in
fluence to get a WPA grant for a
new library.
“What happened to the old one?”
asked the President.
“It was destroyed by fire,” re
plied the visitor sadly. “And Mr.
President, 1 fear for the literacy of
my home folks if a new library isn’t
built quickly. No town should be
without a library. It’s a great cul
tural influence."
“Absolutely,” agreed the Presi
dent. “How long has your town
been without a library?”
“Seventy-six years.”
“Seventy-six years!”
"Yes, sir. Sherman burned it
down.”

LOCAL AIR BASES
The army air corps isn’t saying
anything publicly, but it is making
a quiet survey of all airports in the
country for the purpose of locating
new bases and training centers.
Objective behind the plan is to
secure the greatest possible disper
sion of air forces necessary for de
fense. Four cities already have
been selected: New Orleans, West
Palm Beach, Fla., Tallahassee, Fla.,
and Augusta, Ga.

CAPITAL CHAFF
New French Ambassador Henri-
Haye was asked about French wine
stocks. He said, “The Germans
took France, and I’m sure they
found their way into the cellars. I
wouldn’t be surprised if all the good
bottles have gone somewhere.”
The Italian ambassador, Prince
Colonna, has been in Washington
more than a year, but has not yet
sent his card, according to protocol,
to the Czech minister. This is Italy’s
way of refusing to recognize that
Czechoslovakia still exists.
While Gen. Hugh Johnson, ex-NRA
boss, was blasting at Elliott Roose
velt for being given a “paper work”
assignment as an air corps captain,
Johnson’s son, Capt. Kilbourne
Johnston, a regular army officer, got
himself a desk job in the office of
the selective service administrator.
Bernarr MacFadden, health cult
ist, magazine owner and big Florida
realty owner, may take another
whirl for the senate. He is angling
with Florida G. O. P. leaders to
get his name on the party ballot
against Democratic Senator Charles
Andrews.

Kathleen Norris Says:
Any Woman Can Learn the Secret
(Bell Syndicate—WNU Service.)
Cameras snapping in her fare wherever she goes are not reality. She loves them,
of course, and when they stop she suffers agonies of jealousy. No matter how young,
beautiful, rich, successful a woman is, sooner or later she has to find content where
\ OLI find it. In her own soul.
By KATHLEEN NORRIS
BE A contented woman. So
few women are content!
This advice is not for the
thirties. Not for the forties.
These years are full of hope and
changes and potentialities and
excitements. The most thor
oughly disappointed and bored
and disillusioned wife of 34 may
still feel that a complete change
of circumstances may take
place any day.
Jim might get a promotion
with a big raise. Or some un
suspected uncle might leave
them a tidy fortune. Or they
might have to move to Rio, on
10 days notice. Or the talent scouts
might seize upon the baby, who is
10 times as fascinating as any baby
star on the screen.
Life holds thrills. A new hat—a
new hair-do, is a thrill. Just meet
ing a courteous new man is a thrill.
To have someone suggest a delight
ful job opens up new trains of
thought. A hundred aj month,
and a summer vacation free, for
just being hostess at a big mountain
hotel.
A New Cycle Begins.
All this ends at about 45. No
use fooling about it, it comes to an
end. No more men are going to
fall in love with you. No new hat is
going to do for you what that $1.98
hat did 20 years ago. Jim isn’t go
ing to bo raised, promoted, sent to
an exciting post. He’s there, stout
and middle-aged and comfortable
and quite satisfied to go on living.
The children have passed the ab
sorbing and dependent stages; they
need teeth bands and corrective
shoes and plenty of school help, but
there is little in that to satisfy the
woman who has been dreaming all
her life of achievements, of fame,
wealth, glory, success.
If you are one of those women,
harness your dreams. Or better
still, wake up and try to appreciate
sne important fact.
This is the fact. No matter how
young, beautiful, rich, successful a
woman is, sooner or later she has
to find content exactly where you
:an find it. In her own soul.
What Price Fame.
Of course she likes the excitement
)f success, the flattery of her public,
die brief, brief hours in which her
lame eclipses that of the next ex
juisitely pretty and captivating
woman. But those things last only
lours or days, or months at most,
md then the gnawing inner hunger
lor reality begins to fret her. Holly
wood sets are not reality; cameras
snapping in her face wherever she
?oes are not reality. She loves
'.hem, of course, and when they stop,
when she is only yesterday’s favor
to, she suffers agonies of jealousy.
And she knows all along that they
are not real.
She puts on a $4O apron and cooks
In a picture-book kitchen. She
adopts a baby, and is photographed
with it. And all the time she is
olindly reaching out for what you
have; a man who needs her, a kitch
en in which she is queen; a small
person to come stumbling to Moth
er.
At 40 she has nothing left. The
booking agencies in New York, the
casting offices of Hollywood are
filled with unemployed, wistful wom
en who were stars a few years ago.
Their sugar-frosting dream is over.
The bubble has burst. And then,
unless they have something very
real with which to go on; family
ties, the right to love and service,
they are dreary derelicts for life.
The lives of very few elderly
actresses are lifted out of tragedy.
Content Is Secret of Happiness.
Even highly successful profession
al women don’t go on to happy mid
dle life unless they’ve discovered
the secret of content. Too often
young fame distracts them from the
HOUSTON HOME JOURNAL. PERRY. GEORGIA
SECRET OF HAPPINESS
Glory and fame appear to make
some women intensely happy, but
Kathleen Norris points out that this
happiness is short-lived. She believes
that a woman can find genuine, lasting
content only in her own soul. Miss
Norris advises women to live a normal
life and develop natural interests; then
they’ll be fur happier than the lone
some heiress who is surrounded by a
lot of parasitic playmates.
natural course of marriage and
motherhood, and they find glory and
money rather poor pickings in the
end.
And the merely rich women! The
glamour girls who have done nothing
to earn their luxury and power, their
yachts and Palm Beach mansions,
their furs and jewels—what a sad
mess THEY make of it!
Within a few years of the time
when you went around all morning
wishing you were in Gloria Millions
place, Gloria is haggardly facing a
second divorce, supporting a flatter
ing circle of titled European hang
ers-on, and telling the whole world
that she will fight for the custody
of her child.
Whereas you, if you’ve played
your cards wisely, are the adored
mother of two brown tall Indians
of children who are dancing about
because it’s Saturday, and Mom is
taking Jim and Mary and the Sim
mons children off to the beach for
the day.
Or you’re absorbed in your gar
den; there’s no heartache cure like
a garden. You’ve decided to have
supper out-of-doors. You’re trying
for a prize contest on the air. Your
Persian aristocrat has produced
three delicious kittens. The baby
next door has been loaned to you
for his noon Pabulum and his after
noon nap. Jim is, thank goodness,
going to be free for a three-day
week-end next Friday. Mary is in
first year French and it’s perfectly
amazing how your old grammar and
you can help her. You’ve got to
consider both sides of moving to
that possible farm. Chickens and
fruit and quiet and space against
the commuting trip for Jim—.
All Possess Materials for Happiness.
In short, you’ve mastered content.
You’ve learned that to each one of
us women in this life is meted out
the materials for happiness; it is
only our wisdom or stupidity in han
dling them that makes the differ
ence. The successful writer,
actress, heiress of course MAY be
happy. But she has to be happy on
exactly the same terms that are
available to you. She has to have
love, and a chance for service, and
books and appetite and deep sleep.
And often these are all sacrificed
before she has discovered how per
ishable is fame, how brief is youth,
how little money can buy! While
you are climbing up the scale to
the forties and fifties, she is descend
ing to depths that you never knew.
Face-lifting and cocktails and mem
ories of past splendors don’t help
her; nobody remembers and nobody
cares.
Develop what you have. The chil
dren, the back yard, the possible
picnic and camping sites within
reach, the libraries, the swimming
beaches. Develop hobbies, activi
ties, interests. They don’t spring
into being full-grown. But you will
be pleasantly surprised to see how
fascinating they can become.
Develop Jim, too. As you grow
to be a contented middle-aged and
someday old woman, take him along
with you. Make the fifties happy
years, and the sixties even better.
The woman who does that will soon
find herself in a position to pity the
very stars and glamour girls and
celebrities that she is envying today.
And most important of all, develop
yourself. Try to achieve that peace
of mind which can only follow from
a life well lived, because as eagerly
as you are now looking ahead to
new thrills, in your old age you will
look back upon the pleasures that
have been yours.
