In II, no doubt, he'll tell the story of the conversa¬ tion he had wilh ono of ihc Nazi guards, with whom ho had grown quite friendly . . "Toll me .something," tho Nazi askod on this panicular occasion, "isn't it true Ihal your Mrs. Roo.sevell is Jewish?" , . . "No, that's not true," Allen replied, "but did you know that our Mr. Lindbergh Is?" . . .

So watch the papers ... Or perhaps that re¬ ported (luarrel between Hiller and Mussolini in that region represents the fulfillment of the seer's dictum?

The new publication crudely attomplod to disguise its anti- S'emitism by avoiding tho use of Ihe word .low but substituting instead the word rofugoe. In a front-page article, called "Fifth Column Notes," iho organ of ap¬ peasement displays prominent¬ ly the activities of Americans wilh ohviously .lewish names.
Other signs of the paper's anti- Somitism were seen in Iho fol¬ lowing items: The caption of a picture of Walter Winchell de¬ scribed the nationally .syndicat- e<l columnist and radio report¬ er as "the voice of America's refugee minority." In an ar¬ ticle on medicine, "The Herald" expressed concern at tho num¬ ber of "refugee physicians" en¬ tering Ihe United Stales.
Another picture showed Man- hatlan Borough President Stan¬ ley Isaacs addressing a "Y for British Victory Carnival." "The Herald" reported that the meet¬ ing was ,hel4,ln;Ji!ew >Xork'a,gar? ¦ffi?ae'aisltt6t^|itd^*tBfl1i!map of tlioae present were "cloak aiid suit workers granted a half-holi¬ day for the occasion."

"The Herald" is published in l-ake Geneva, Wisconsin, which is the new home also of Scrib¬ ner's Commentator, who fled from New York several months ago "to escape the stifling at¬ mosphere of refugeeKlominated New York City."
