In the Nazi concentration camps they are whi.qperinK about a recent mcetins: held in great secrecy by Hitler, Goering and Goebbels shortly after it he came dear even to them that the Blitzkrieg against Russia wa.sn't blitzing up to form . . . "Boys," Adolf addressed his part¬ ners, "we've heen doing well so far, but we should be prepared for all contingencies . . Suppose worst does come to worst — have you made your plans? . . . Hess Is safe in England—but I should hate to see you two, who've been my pals for so man.y years, fall into the clutches of the mob when they finally realize that we've led them into the greatest debacle of history" . . . "Don't worry about me," said Goering ... "I always have a plane ready for my escape to a certain Swiss valley where I'll be perfectly sate" . . . "I, too, havei my plan,' Goebbels then spoke up . . . "The moment I see that the collapse Is Inevitable I'll make tracks for Lublin, where I'll easily pass as a Jew . . . Whafs more, I'll then be liberated and rehabillta ted together with all the rest of the Jews . . But what about you  mein Fuehrer'' What

YOV SHOULD KNOW
The trans-Atlantic grapevine reports that since June 22nd several attempts have been made on the life of Hitler . . . Two of the would-be Hitler-hitters were women whose sons were killed on the Eastern front ... On Broadway they now say that Marshall Petain, who's rapidly becoming Hitler's Darlan, is well In line for the kiss of death . . Those reported disorders in Par Is, which culminated in the exe cution of several "Communists" and the imprisonment of many hundreds, actually were an or¬ ganized Gestapo pogrom on Jews living In Paris . . . Gabby Goeb¬ bels may be trying to turn the V-(br-Vlctory campaign into a jargonized Nazi V-for Viktoria effort, but he hasn't convinced our local Nutzls ... In fact, only the other day a Yorkville mob attacked a beer truck carry¬ ing banners advertising the new Vx beer — the name of which, by the way, is purely a coinci¬ dence, albeit a happy one . . . TRUE  STORY
We thought you might be in¬ terested in the experience of a certain Aijstrain Nazi who, Im¬ mediately after the Anschluss, divorced his Jewish wife just to prove that his heart was In the right place . . . The couple have a small daughter, and the father received official permission to see the child once a month de spite her non-Aryanlsm . . . Well it seems that on one visiting day the little girl was ill, and thus unable to come to the usual meeting place . . .So the father came to the mother's Jiome, and spent an hour there with his ex-wife and child . . . And when he left the house he was at once picked up by the Gestapo and jailed for Rassenschande BOOK NEWB

While the exact nature of the propn.seri "radical solution" was not fliscloscd in the Nazi news papers, it was made clear that .steps against the .lews in Nazi- occupied countries and in lands under Hitler's domination would be taken in retaliation for "ut¬ terances of intcrn.'iiionai .Jewry that discuss and thus openly ad¬ mit the immediate Interests of ,Iews in this war."
Tho Berlin correspondent of the Swiss newspaper "Gtizette de Lausanne" voiced the belief that the now anti-Jewish meas¬ ures would call for the intro¬ duction of ghetto.s in all Euro¬ pean countries under the influ¬ ence of the Axis partners.
One of the statements by no¬ ted Jewish leaders which infur¬ iated Hitler, the Nazi press stated, was the declaration by Dr. Ciiaim Weizmann, president of the World Zionist Organiza¬ tion that Palestine constituted a bulwark of democracy against Hitlerism In the Near East

NKW VOUK (WNS)—Louis Israel Hlrsch, sa-year-oid Ger¬ man Jew, left Germany in .luly afler waiting for years for an opportunity to escape f|:om Hit lerism and, with his son. em barked on the Spanish liner, Ciudad de Seville which was bringing 555 persons, many of them refugees, lo the United States.
Mr. Hirsch, together with the other refugees, paid exorbitant rates for his ticket on "the old Spanish vessel. The food and sleeping accommodations on Ihe ship were so bad that the refu gees neither ate nor slept. They Ignored the foul food, the over¬ crowded rooms, the profiteering prices, remembering only that soon they would be in the Uni ted States.
Louis Israel Hirsch, however did not reach the United States. He died at sea after a heart at tack. While the other refugees lined the sides of the ship the body of the 83-year-old Jewish refugee was lowered into the sea.
Shipping men here were shocked at the prices charged refugees, most of whom paid anywhere from $500 to $1,600 for William MuUer, pass

ship's passengers, described the prices as "outrageous."
In contrast to the prices exact¬ ed from the refugees, he point¬ ed out that the United States liners, Washington and Man haltan sold accommodations in suites for less than $500 each (luring war trips. The Span¬ ish ship, owned by the Spanish Fascist Government, capitalized on the plight of the refugees, charging them racketeering prices, shipping men said.
Most of the refugees were eld¬ erly Jews who had waited from six months to four years to come here. Rather than eat what they described as "horrible food," they lived on bread and tea during the trip.

The Jews were piled Into waiting buses, after they hafl been given a few minutes to collect some personal articles, and were transported to a tem¬ porary concentration camp in Drancy, near Le Bourget air¬ field- From the concentration camp, the Jews were assigned to various compulsory labor camps.
Tlie Paris authorities announc- Iho execution of two alleged Communists for participation in a demonstration directed against the Nazi Army of occu¬ pation. Nazi spokesmen im¬ plied that both men, Szmul Ty- selman and Henri Gautherot, were Jews hut a check-up dis¬ closed that only Tyselman was .lewish.
The anti-Jewish raids follow¬ ed shortly after a series of anti- Nazi demonstrations in Pans and the murder of a Nazi naval ensign in the Paris subway- It was definitely established that the anti-Nazi demonstrations had occurred in Paris districts not populated by Jews.
The fury of Nazi-controlled Paris press was directed against the Jews who were accused of In¬ stigating Communist demonstra¬ tions in France. One Nazi newspap^ went so far as to accuse pfcsldent Roosevelt of supporting the "Je\ylsh-Com- munist" plot against France.
Fears that many of the Jews arrested in the raids would be executed were voiced in Jewisb circles following the announce¬ ment by Lieutenant Gen. Ernst von Schaumburg, the Nazi com¬ mander In Paris, that those ar¬ rested would be held as "hos¬ tages" and that a specific num¬ ber of these prisoners correspond¬ ing to the gravity of the anti* Nazi act would be shot in case of future anti-German demon- (ConUnued on Page 8)        /
