Members of the crew of the German cruiser Leipzig didn’t salute
when the baige of British Admiral Baillie-Gruhman passed in
Kiel Harbor. So next day, Admiral Baillie-Grohtim, sent to escort
the captuied warship to England, ordered the German captain to
assemble Ihe crew on deck, sailed his barge pest, and was paid
the ptoper honors, as pictured above. It was a disciplinary meas-
ure, designed to bring home to the sulking crew a realization
of their defeat.

Hitler May Have
Received Aid From
U. S. Industrialists
WASHINGTON (UP) — The
State Department has turned
hack 15 years tonight to tell
part of the stnrv of how Ameri-
can loans and American indus-
trialists helped Adolf Hitler rise
to power.
The tale is told In state pap-
ers covering this country’s in-
ternational dealings in 1930. The
papei's are included in Ihe latest
of the department's volumes of
diplomatic papers of years gone
by.
A lengthy section devoted to
Germany includes papers which
show the United States was dis-
quieted hack in 1930 about the
sudden rise of a new political
party called the national social-
ists.
There are a series of some-
what ominous reports from
eliarge d'affaires George Gor-
don of tin- American embas-
sy af Berlin — all dealing
with Adolf Hiller's climb to-
ward power.
One paper, dated Sept. 23rd,
19.30, says: "There is no doubt
that Hitler received very sub-
stantial financial support from
certain large industrial interests
... a rumor even reached me
today from a usually very well
I informed source that certain
! American financial interests
represented at Berlin were act-
ive in the same cause."
However, there's no elalxira-
lion on the subject of this re-
ported American financial back-
ing for Hitler.
Other documents show that
I the state department refused to
'intercede in transactions design-!
|ed to provide the Germans with
millions of dollars in American |
credits The incident involved I
some SI2.'p.tHK).iHKi in credits from
' private American banks —which J
j eventually was extended to th,-1
German government to help re-1
: duce the reieh's debt
These stories didn't make
big headlines back in 1930. In
fact, it was a rather calm year
in diplomatic circles. But tile
state department — looking back
—now calls 1930 “the lull be-
fore the storm "

DON'T TELL ANYBODY
DETROIT (UP) — Don’t
tell a soul—hut according
to scanty evidence — ihe
men are wearing the pink
panties in Detroit families
these days.
A shortage in shorts start-
ed them raiding Hie ladies’
underwear supply.
The first one to touch on
the subject was Senator
Homer Ferguson — a Mich-
igan Republican Ho told
the senate that Detroit men
men fare a choice of wear-
ing pink panties or no shorts
at all.
And know-it-alls in the
sales business hack him up.
They re|Kirt that masculine
taste runs to white cotton
undies — but usually the
best they can get are tea-
rose briefs and steps-ins.
The men were ahle to
keep it quiet for a while.
Those who bought their
own could always say they
were for the little woman.
Hut the ladies let the secret
out when they asked for
large-size panties. They had
to explain they were for
hubby.
The Detroit problem finds
its opposite at Miami Beach.
Fla The girls there are tlie
ones who are bemoaning the
“shortage situation."
The Miami Beach publici-
ty organization comes
through with news that ap-
proximately 108 models
I working as bathing beauties
are—of necessity buying
men'' shorts and cutting
them down to fit the situa
lion.
The -uhstitute apparel is
quite suitable — they say—
it a git I , an take time out
from the busino.*- of being a
beach Is-nuty to making
good use of her needle and
thread
And that's the long -and
short—of it.
