To my mother, staring at that coffin in Chicago, there always remained a confused impression of mourning for the man she thought was not dead, but sleeping, and the father she never had seen. Perhaps that feeling was imparted to me. My mother described the scene to me. It was clearly etched in her memory like the rest of the strange hegira which she took westward with her widowed mother from a little town in New York state (as a bride, my grandmother had pioneered the West with her young New York state farm-borhusband). Of course, the memories were blurred and blended, undoubtedly, with later repetition of the event, but the picture was clear, and I only wish I could repeat it in my mothers own words. The train trip west, the arrival in the great city, the crowd about her as she advanced slowly with her mother into the great hall. Then the coffin which she did not know was a coffin for there was no such word in her tiny vocabulary. Her mother let go the little girls hand to move back her own heavy veil. Then the little girl remembered being lifted in the strong hands of the guard. About him she could recall only a blue tunic, shiny brass buttons and the smell of tobacco. Then the face of the "sleeping man, and her mothers quiet tears. Funeral Ceremonies! XIV III ar Nazi-Sovi- ON P. M, 2. fuMfld Iudm ftrg. f ScriptOTfc By In. B. 9j tod r.

The director complained that the factories were producing inferior products. He wanted more and better goods, more washing machines, vacuum cleaners, refrigerators and decent furniture.

High point of the hitherto secret dossier was the revelation that in 1940 Adolf Hitler and V. M. Molotov of Russia agreed that Britain and the U. S. must be excluded from Europe, Asia and Africa. The book told also how, in 1940, Stalin had offered to join the axis if Hitler would give Russia a free hand in Finland, a military base near the Dardanelles and a dominant voice Middle East. Then the in the documents show how Hitler, disdaining even to answer Stalins proposition, ordered his armies to prepare "to crush Soviet Russia in a quick campaign. One of the major factors which precipitated the German attack on Russia was the Soviet demand for dominant control of the Balkans. Hitler, who was as aware as any man of the political, economic and strategic value of the pivotal Balkan area, turned thumbs down on that Russian desire also. Sum and substance of the state departments spectacular publication of the Nazi documents was little more than an emphatic indication of fact: That an already Russia, with aggressive consistency, has been hungering for years for leadership in the Balkans, for new in the Dardanelles, for expansion in Central Asia and for a free hand in Finland and Poland. Value of the publication of these documents at this time is questionable, despite the flagrantly apparent propaganda they can and will inspire. State departments action obviously was aimed at rallying public support behind the Marshall plan, soon to come up for congressional action, but lt also would serve to aggravate and inflame the already dangerously touchy "cold war. oil-ric- h well-know- n Legislation to establish a permaAmerinent, government-regulatecan rubber industry with a 675,000-toannual capacity and a required annual production of at least 225,000 tons a year has been introduced by Rep.
