The crime of the ages is be¬ ing committed by those experts, the Nazis, in Poland ... Be¬ cause relief woric there might help the situation of the Polish Jews the German authorities have refused the proffered aid of the Quakers . . . Even the blackout can have a silver llh- inf! . . . In Berlin people have been finding anti-Hitler hand¬ bill."! in their pockets after humping into strangers in the darlc streets . . .. Hitler's next stunt win be a call for repatria' tion of Germans living in , all parts of the TVorld . . . If you want to know how news of the outer world occasionally trick¬ les into censor-ridden Naziland you'll be interested to hear of the latest subterfuge ... It was an American friend of a German who thought up the plan of sending over chocolate-coated marshmaliow bars with a mes¬ sage stuffed inside- the fillings, and this procedure has become quite popular . . .One of its ad¬ vantages is that the censor is sure to get indigestion' from liaving to eat so many marsh- mallow bars. . . .

The official mastermind of tho German propaganda campaign, in this country is one HcinK ¦ Beler, who_ wa.q sent here hy Gocohelij to be what he eupliem- istically calls "dircctoi' of the German Library of Informa¬ tion" . . . Soon it will come out that Fritz Kuhn had a secret meeting witli the Rev.

Max Reinhardt was greatly pained recently to learn that the famous Salzburg castle which used t6 be his served as the meeting-place of Nazi arid Soviet delegates last sumfner for a conference that resulted in that notorious pact . . : Most appropriate Chanukah gift • we can suggest is a slender but funny picture book published by Hillman-Curl ahd entitled "Kee- ¦dle" ... It describes, in color- cartoons, Hitler's rise and de¬ cline, until on the last page he ends up as a louse being squash¬ ed between the thumb and fore¬ finger of civiiijjation . . . And if you do your Chanukah shop¬ ping in New; York don't forget to patronize the sale of refugee art and handicrafts in the Em¬ pire State building .. . That Munich time-borab, claim the Broadway wags, was flown over from England hidden in the folds of Chamberlain's um¬ brella ... . COURT RECORD
Walter Winchell, who did a sv^ell job reporting the Fritz Kuhn trial, gleefully ' observed that one day the prosecutor accidentally called the Nutzi fuehrer "Kohn" . . . Wlnchell predicts that If Kuhn is senten¬ ced to a prison term the warden of the Jail will be the chief sufferer ... It seems that when Kuhn recently was confined in the Tombs the prisoners in his cell row vigorously imd vocifer¬ ously protested against his pres¬ ence in their vicinity . , .When the jurors for the Kuhn trial were being chosen, incidentally, one of the important questions that determined their suitability concerned Winchell's column.
