MERRYGO-ROUN- D HITLER IN PATAGONIA It may take a long time to find out whether Hitler and his bride Eva Braun escaped to Patagonia. The country is a series of vast Nazi-owne- d ranches, where German Is spoken almost exclusively and where Hitler could be hidden easily and successfully for years. The ranches in this southern part of Argentina cover thousands of acres and have been under Nazi management for generations. Be-cause of absolute German control, it would be impossible for any to penetrate the area to make a thorough investigation as to Hitler's whereabouts. Along the coast of Patagonia, many Germans own land which con-tains harbors deep enough for sub-marine landings. And if submarines could get to Argentine-Uruguaya- n waters from Germany, as they def-initely did, there is no reason why they could not go a little farther south to Patagonia. Also there is no reason why Hitler couldn't have been on one of them. Note On December 15, 1943, this column reported that "Hitler's gang has been working to build up a place of exile In Argentina In case of de- - feat. After the fall of Stalingrad and then Tunisia, they began to see defeat staring them in the face. That was their cue to move in on Argen-- tina." The same column also cited chapter and verse regarding Germa-n- trained officials who ruled the new Argentine dictatorship. At San Francisco. Nelson Rockefeller and Jimmy Dunn insisted that the U. S. A. recognize Argentina. Note 2 If it ever comes to iden-tifying Hitler, Dr. Robert Kempner, former German police official now living in Lnnsdowne, Pa., has the answers. Kempner, who was In charge of the investigation after Hit-ler's beer hall putsch, says that Hit-ler's right thumb is abnormally long, his right ear pointed on top and his mouth is very receding. Kempner has turned over his data to U. S. authorities. . . . MYSTERIOUS PEACE FEELERS It's being kept very hush-hus-but something important is brewing behind the scenes regarding peace with Japan. Highest officials won't say a word about it, not even to some of their cabinet colleagues. However, peace feelers which have come from the Japs have been much more than feelers despite Secretary Grew's denials. One of them was debated by the combined chiefs of staff for more than a week. It proposed that the Japs withdraw from Korea and Manchuria and all China if (1) they could keep the em-peror, and (2) they would not be invaded. Meanwhile, Joe Grew and the army and navy have prepared a di-rective outlining the minimum terms we would accept from the Japs. This is one of the most high-ly guarded documents in the gov-ernment. However, it can be stat-ed on high authority that the Grew peace plan would permit the Japs to retain Emperor Hirohito. It can also be stated that there is considerable difference of opinion inside the administra-tion regarding the Grew memo-randum, and some of his col-leagues Inside the state depart-ment, including Assistant Secre-tary Will Clayton and Assistant Secretary Dean Acheson, arc vigorously opposed. The whole situation is In a state of flux, and anything can happen overnight. INSIDE JAPAN C. Jap workers are now being drilled for home defense at noon hours, some even using pointed sticks as spears. C. The Japanese railroads are being torn to pieces by Rail junc-tions are clogged for days before traffic can clear through them. C Jap prisoners taken in Burma, Indo-Chin- a and the Dutch East In-dies haven't the ghost of an idea as to what is happening in Japan. They can't believe that U. S. forces are steaming close to the Jap mainland, still believe the Jap navy will reopen supply lines to the South Pacific. C. There is considerable debate In-side the U. S. high command re-garding the necessity for landing in China. Some think a Chinese in-- 1 vasion is necessary to protect our in- - vasion flank when we land In the main Jap islands. Others believe a Chinese invasion would only use tight shipping and result in unnecessary casualties. The easiest way to aid China, they argue, is to defeat Japan quickly, not get bogged down with long fight on the Chinese main-land. C. The entire Jap administrative sys- - tern has broken down. The Japl have now decentralized their gov-ernment so every area has its own war production board, its own local defense system, even its own local tax collections. i L We have also mined Jap harbors so Jap merchant vessels can hardly get through. . . . Despite the claims of cleaning up northern Luzon, stiff fighting continues. The Japs are beaten but they don't know it. They are still making things tough for MacArthur's men despite official communiques. 'Unconditional' Capt. E. M. Zacharias of the U. 8. navy, who learned to speak Japa-nese while attached to the U. S. em-bassy in Tokyo, speaking through OWI facilities to Jap leaders. He told them an unconditional surren-der can save Japan from complete extinction. If It Isn't One Thing It's Another Robert Lee of Atlanta thought he had solved his transportation prob-lem by dismantling the family flivver and using the wheels on a mule-draw- n wagon. But using hay Instead of gas wasn't enough. Tires still wear out and give trouble. Here Is Improviser Lee replacing a wheel after he had fixed a flat. The mule says nothing just looks wise.
