Testimony before the committee has revealed certain secret documents showing plans on the part of various German industrialists to subsidize a Nazi underground party. The purpose of the hearings, Senator Kilgore's associates tell me, is to prepare the United States against a future recrudescence of German militarism. If such underground organizations exist and continue to exist it will be necessary to hunt them out of their hiding places if we can. This Is going to be especially difficult Since some of those hiding places undoubtedly will be on foreign territory and it may not be easy to reach across the frontiers of nations not too unfriendly to the Nazi - Fascist ra-ml- h: Borg-Warne- rs er . heat-treate- tail-gat- e 2 2 often-accelerat- Ger-man- d ; am-trac- k. r, I Borg-Warne- r, Borg-Warn- d Borg-Warn- 125-mi- sea-goin- Borg-Warn- y, pation, the psychological warfare division of supreme headquarters has a special program worked out (And dont be frightened at the $04 title of that organization a lot of our boys are alive today because of its assault on the enemy as you will learn some day.)
