l»y BILL WHITE
Associated Prf« Sport* Writer
The epitaphs have been written
the decline and fall of the Yankee
empire have been explained the
mourners have headed for home— j
but the Yankees refuse to stay
dead.
Certainly they looked like any-
thing but hopelessly beaten ex-
champions Thursday as they smash-
ed the first-place Cleveland In-
dians. 15-2 in as brutal an assault
as the American League has seen
all year. They hit a new high in
seasonal effectiveness in that night-
: marish second inning when they
scored nine runs of which four
w«re produced by Joe DiMaggios
26th homer with the bases full.
12 of 15 Tries
Raking Al MUnar Eisenstat and
Zuber Tor 12 lusty blows—six of (
them for extra bases—the Yanks
ran their victory string to 12 out
of their last 15 tries and to four
straight over the leagues top two
teams. That sent them scooting
1 into third place <just eight games
off the pace* which represents the
dizziest heights to which they've
climbed since the season s earliest
days.
The Yanx^e triumph plus a 9-6
Detroit victory over the Boston
Red Sox cut the Indians’ lead j
over the Tigers to 4'2 games. Fred
Hutchinson blanked the Sox after
replacing Buck Newsom in the sec-
ond inning and drove Dutch Meyer
nome in the 10th to plummet the
Sox into fourth place
Browns Victorious
In the leagues only other offer-
ing—a night game—Johnny Berar-
dino with five blows in five tries
led an 18-hlt St. Louis Brown as-
sault on the Athletics that netted
the Brownies victory.
Ram forced postponement oT the !
Chicago-Washington game.
The National league also has a
team that refuses to admit it start-
ed too late—the cocky Cardinals
They won their seventh straight
by whaling Philadelphia 9-0. to
! jump into a third-place tie with
the New York Giants busy split-
ting a double-header with the
Pittsburgh Pirates.
Mart Cooper limited the Phils to
i six hits while the Cards banged
out 12. including Johnny Mizes
36th homer.
The Giants won the first game
from the Pirates. 5-4. as Mickey
Witek singled home Mel Ott in
the 12th inning The second game
went to the Pirates 4-0.
Bee* Defeated
Bill Werber was the toast of
Cincinnati for his ninth-inning
home run that. beat the Boston
Bees. 3-2. and gave Buckv Walters
his oft-delaved 17th win The vic-
tory. plus Brooklyn's loss to the
Cube extended the Reds' lead to
S’* games.
Vern Olsen almost had a no-

Germany Spent $200000000 Each
Year On Propaganda Organization
The following is Ihe last of a
series of articles made public by
Secretary Knox of the Nary De-
portment at Washington as part
of the national defense program.
Colonel Donovan recently re-
turned from a mission abroad
on behalf of Secretary Knox. He
wrote these articles In collabora-
tion with Edgar Mowrer distin-
guished foreign correspondent.
By Col. William J. Donoran
and Edgar Mowrer
Since we must ascribe a huge
share of Adolf Hitlers lncompar-
sble military successes to his use
of German "fifth columnists’
in victim countries the question
arises: How was such a success
possible? How are Germans abroad
orought to such self-sacrificing en-
thusiasm for the Nazi regime? How
above all can foreigners living un-
der relatively mild and civilized
governments be induced voluntar-
ily to betray their own countries
lor Hitlers Germany? It seems
mysterious.
The answer is 1200.000.000 spent
annually on organization and pro-
paganda abroad. The immensity of
this sum is the secret. Nazi Ger-
many is not a government—not
even a * folkdom" of the sort Nazi
oiaiors talk about. Nazi Germany
Is a conspiracy. Its scope is uni-
versal and its aim world dominion.
Its primary agents are as many of
ihe millions of Germans in Ger-
many and abroad as can be Induc-
ed or compelled to serve the Ger-
man fatherland.
How Activity Starts
Its activities begin with at-
tempted proselyting of Germans
abroad go on to the murder and
kidnapping of real or fancied ene-
mies and end in armed insurrec-
tion against the foreign country
Hitler wishes to conquer or absorb.
Such Insurrections of Germans ac-
tually occurred In Czechoslovakia.
Austria and Holland. But for the
firm attitude of the United States
such an insurrection would many
students believe have occurred in
Brazil.
That the Germans abroad are
usually "naturalized ' Into some-
thing else is no hindrance. Pre-
war imperial Germany sanctioned
the •‘double nationality status" —
Germans could that is become
French or American or Portuguese
without losing their German na-
tionality. The Weimar Republic
did not alter this strange concep-
tion and Nazi Germany has made
it the center of its ’Trojan horse"
lactics of placing Get mans within
the enemy walls. It is safe to say
that a very fair proportion of the
non-reTugee Germans who have
become Americans since Hitler came
to power did so with the secret In-
tention of turning free and dem-
ocratic America into "their'—that
is Hitler s—America.
Non-Nordic*. Too
Children of Germans naturalised
half a century ago are still count-
ed German by Berlin and every
effort is made to convince them of
the fact. Naturally the Nazis ac-
cept traitor* as allies wherever
they can find them and welcome
the existence of non-Nordics. But
peoples racially akin to Germans—
Scandinavians. Dutch Flemings.
German-speaking Swiss even An-
glo-Saxons—are made the object
of special proselytizing as belong-
ing to the same blood.” These
form the material with which the
Nazi world conspiracy chiefly at-
tempts to work.
The center is the Nazi party. The
tool is the Attslands-Organi/ation
■ or Organization Abroad"! dT this
party. Today this organization of
Germans abroad has nearly 4.000-
oOO members all of whom are cons-
cious agents Over son local groups
or ’supporting points" are organ-
ized in 45 or more Landesgruppen”
i —one in each country.
The headquarters i* in Stuttgart
but all groups are directed by a
angle man in Berlin. Gauleiter
F.rnest Wilhelm Bohle. with some
800 assistants. Technically Bohle
is a "state secretary" in the German
toreign of lice. Where the local
oranches dare not appear under
I their true colors they take on
tancy names—in Roumama. the
Iron Guard.” in Fwitzerland "True
Confederates." in the Unitea
States Amerlka-Deutscher Volks-
bund."
Their Aim I* Same
But everywhere whether the
members are Germans naturalized
r Germans or non-Germans the aim
is the same to achieve Hitlers
end bv trickerv or terror; the or-
ganizing principle is the same with
BA and Hitler youth and Hitler
sport marching emblems ruthless
discipline ceremonies in honor of
Nazi heroes or Hitler-* birthdav
parties; and In case of war they
would all be on Germany’s side.
In time of peace they make lists
of Hitlers enemies who are mark-
ed down for murder or kidnapping
i to Germany and torture when the
yreat day come* Organized Ger-
mans abroad are publicly told to
"obey the laws of their guest-
countrv" but at the same time
urged to ’•convince every outsider
of the necessity of Germany * vic-
tory.” The Nazi party Auslands-
organization is bv no means the
only entitv that works for Hitler
outside G»*rmanv.
Other Organizations
There are in fact no less than
seven others. The political police
or Gestapo the propaganda mtn-
-stry of Dr Paul Joseph Ooebbels
th* German Labo- Front the in-
telligence services of the German
army of the German navy and of
the Germain air arm. and fingllv
the German foreign office with it*
embassies and consulates all over
the world.
By noticing that on the whole
the German government has four
or five times a.* many "accredited”
diplomats and consular agents in
each poet as any other country
one can perhaps gum the type of
activity of four-fifth* of them.
Often they publicly mix in the pol-
icy of the countries to which they
■re accredited. Thu* the famous
Captain Widemann. general consul
in San Francisco. was publicly con-
gratulated by order of the fuehrer
in Berlin for hi* work in prevent-
ing the American senate from ac-
cepting Roosevelt's modified neu-
tralitv legislation in July. 1939.
••Psychological Laboratory"
The intelligence services of the
German army. navy and air arm
are not much different from those
In other countries with the pos-
sible exception that • the German
army maintains in the Prinz
Friedrich Karl Strasse in Berlin a
•psychological laboratory.” The
head* *re( or were» Colonel Von
Vos* *nd Oberregterungsrat Max
Somonelt. A secret section bears
the title. “International Psychol-
ogy.” Here are trained not only
the militarv spies but the Qestapo
snd party agents especially desig-
nated for service abroad.
Members of the German labor
front who go abroad to work have
the duty of reporting anything of
interest they may see or learn in
foreign ship* shops factories or
other places. Furthermore since
1936 there exists in Hamburg an
“international central office” where
Germans and Italian* work to-
gether against trade unions par-
ticularly in democratic countries
and support any movement against
organized labor.
Particularly important notably
in countries like the third French
republic is the work of the pre.-s
attache* in the German embattle*
• nd consulate*. Not only do they
>ee that the 1700 German language
newspapers outside Germany ttotal
circulation three million) are sup-
plied with interesting material of
all sorts st the price no other
source can meet but they al>o
watch over German radio pro-
grams Special attent:on is given
to winning over possible Nazi
friends on the local pres* and
combatting or bringing into dis-
repute newspapers and periodicals
that oipo:e Hitler.
Surpasses OGPt'
The German Gestapo of Hein-
iich Himmler whose ruthless ef-
I’clencv surpasses even the Russian
Ogpuo. employs only about 5.000
agenus abroad One of ita special
tasks is watching over German
refugee emigrants but It does not
scorn to cast an ere even on Nazis i
in good standing some of whom
have been known to speak sllght-
‘ngly of the fuehrer or to express
a passing wish for greater person-
al freedom. Therefore one or more
agent* ran be found in every Ger-
man consulate or embassy abroad
A good angler ran manage to
bvate others in the larger German
commercial enterprises such as
shipping or oil companies.
In addition to the agencies al-
ready mentioned there exists a col-
onial poltt'ral department headed
bv General Franz Ritter von Epp.
Hitlers special friend which car-
ries on a lively pro-Nazi propa-
ganda in the former German col-
onies and among Germans in col-
onies of other countries.
Pick Special Agents
Although there is some doubt
presumably it is the Gestapo that
picks out special agents for par-
ticular jobs in countries that hap-
pen at a particular moment to In-
terest the Nazis most. Rumor
speaks of a high class German
technician who managed to Tind a
relatively Insignificant job in an
American broadcasting company.
Broadcasting plavs a great role in
German spy life Not only the
agents possess tiny senders with
whirh they tra.nmit information
unfit for the o'i’.’Uj bi:» they tc-
ceive instructions earefully <on-j
reeled in public orna>tcasts lr»m the
fatherland. One rueh typical broad-
cast was that calle.1 Xainanl-
sehaftsdienst. supp^sed’v intended
for the soldiers at the front
There is no claim that this de-
scription of the German propa-
ganda service Is complete. Con-
ceivably there exist other even
more interesting services. But this
much should make It clear why
Adolf Hitler hu been so success-
Tul in utilizing Germans abroad
and creating 'fifth columns" among
his enemies. Thanks to the pains
taken and the money spent. Hitler
has in nearly every country been
able to do considerable in breaking
down the national morale and en-
listing traitors. One particularly
Rood dodge is in moat places the
creation of two Nazi organizations
one of which acts in a strictly le-
gal way. Another (until it was
found out» was the use of German
servant girls Dutch employers of a
particularly •dumb” German cook
were surprised to hear her convers-
ing in the kitchen with a perfect
stranger in fluent Oxford English.
She was dismissed—and took with
her the more important family
papers.
Exchange Students
Germans exchange students care-
fully schooled in espionage and
propaganda collected no end of in-
formation In Switzerland. Strength-
Through-Joy tourists carefully
mapped Poland for the Relchswehr. j
It must always be remembered that
no German receives police permis-
sion to leave the Reich regardless
of the motives until he or she prom- j
tees to report everything seen and
heard abroad. Each must declare
his address to the nearest Nazi of-
ficial and keep m touch with him
so far as circumstances permit.
In the 1'mted Stale* an organ-
isation of Nazis is being trained
in arms. As matters now stand
it is conceivable that the t'nited
Mates possesses the finest Nazi
schooled “fifth column" in the
world one whirh is case of war
with Germany could be our un-
doing.
Could but need not be. The Nazis
are strong only where unopposed.
Where they are resisted w^here
the initiative istaken from them
they tend to collapse. The revela-
tions in the American preas of the
•ortunes amassed and held abroad
by leading Nazis kept Goeboela
busy denying It for two weeks. It
is hard to see why under present
circumstances. In view of "fifth
column activity" observed abroad
countries that do not intend to
Miomit to the Third Ren h permit
any German-language publications
or why they do not adopt legisla-
tion allowing naturalizations ob-
tained under false pretenses to be
ennulled bv executive act. or do not
insist on knowing Just which do- *
mestlc industries and commercial
houses have tie-ups of any sort
with the Naas.
Failure to do this failure to
study and comba' the entire Na/i
Auslandsorgantzation may have tra-
gic consequences. Unearthed in
time the Nazi conspiracy is rela-
tively harmless.
