TERROR SPREAD THROUGH HATIOH BY NAZIPOLICE Secret Gestapo Brings Shudder of Horror to All Germans. BY MILTON BRONNER SEA Service Staff Cnrretyandent iXDNDON, Nov. 30.-—" Gestapo” *hs very name makes Germans shudder, it is the people's term for the Geheim Staats Polizei—the stare Becrct police. It is purely a Nazi creation, so secret are its workings that few facts are known about -it. but legend is rapidly accumulating. If the stories that seep out of Germany are to be believed, the Gestapo is the most feared of all secret police organizations, and Europe, in its time, has known quite a few. The Gestapo is a thing of comparatively recent growth. At first, when Adolf Hitler wp. not sure as to the reliability of his brownahirted troopers, the S. A., he formed the S. S , dressed in somber black and, as that body grew, it was placed in charge of Heinrich Himmler. When the Nazis came to power, Himmler was made prefect of police in Munich.

Himmler Heads Unit General Goering, head of the Prussian government, formed his Prussian Gestapo. Hitler named Himmler as head of the Gestapo in the other German states. Later, Himmler was promoted to chieftainship of all tho Gestapo In the reich. He then transferred his headquarters from Munich to Berlin. Some of the chief jobs of his thousands of secret police and spies are as follows: 1. To seize all communistic and Socialist literature that is smuggled into Germany by various means and to arrest, if possible, those inside Germany actively concerned in distributing the subversive leaflets and pamphlets. 2. To keep a watch on all persons on the Nazi black list. These are people suspected of active antagonism to the Hitler regime, or of revealing state or military secrets. 3. Since the blood purge of last June, to keep tab on all Nazi leaders, big and little, lest another web of intrigue against Hitler be woven inside the ranks of his own organization. Don’t Wear Uniforms Nobody knows who the secret police are. They don’t wear uniforms. They seem like ordinary citizens. They work under cover. And what makes all Germans shudder is that it is a swift transition from being seiz ;q by the secret police to being l.aied before the socalled “People's Court,” likewise recently instituted by the Nazi regime. These courts try all political and treasonable offenses. There are three senates, each with five judges. Only two on each panel have legal training. The balance are army officers and Nazi. Trials mainly are held in secret and there is no appeal. It is possible. upon the accusations of the secret police, to be swiftly railroaded to the firing squad or the headman’s ax. J > It is claimed there is no restaurant, case or hotel which is not surveyed by the Gestapo. The microphone is freely used. The Gestapo has a tiny;one, easily hidden, and of immense carrying power. It is whispered that all the conversations of persons on the black list are listened to, even in their homes. Moreovet, the conversations are electrically recorded so that the judges—if cases be brought—may have no doubt as to the authenticity of the evidence. It used to be a common thing for Germans to make a rendezvous

Indiana in Brief

By Timet Special COLUMBUS, Nov. 30.—Decision in the Hopewell school case, the result of a long standing controversy in Franklin township, Johnson county, is expected to be reached before the end of the year. The case has been set for trial in Bartholomew circuit court here on Dec. 26. Plaintiffs are a group of Hopewell residents, headed by Clarence Merrick, and defendants are Charles F. Mathena, Franklin township trustee, and township advisory board members. Mandating of the township officials to compel them to use insurance money collected after a fire destroyed the Hopewell school to erect anew building, is the object of the suit.

a a a Land Gift Made By Timet Special BLOOMINGTON, Nov. 30.—Gift of land has been made by the Winona Institute to the biological station of Indiana university at Winona, lake, tripling the station’s area. The gift comprises land sufficient for division into twenty lots 40x80 feet. ana Enrollment Increases By Timet Special DANVILLE, Nov. 30.—Increase in enrollment for the winter term at Central Indiana college as compared to that of laSt year, is announced at the registrar’s office. Thus far 424 students have signed, which exceeded the figure last year, and enrollment will continue unti Tuesday. a a a G. 0. P. Has Deficit By Timet Special MUNCIE, Nov. 30. statement filed in the Delaware county clerk’s office shows the Republican county organization owes $271.50 and has but 14 cents in its treasury. in the lounges of the better-known hotels. This rarely takes place any more. For it is hinted that there is a microphone under every table and every chair. It is also claimed that the telephonic conversations of foreign correspondents with the. r home papers are also heard by t..ze police. Little, if anything, is ever allowed to be printed in German papers about the activities of the Gestapo. But occasionally some bald announcement reveals its activities. Thus, the other day it was announced a number of people, convicted of espionage for a foreign power, had been condemned to death. v Foreign papers were a bit more informative. They told how the secret police arrived one evening while a party was going on in the Berlin home of a Polish nobleman and all there present taken to Gestapo headquarters. Some of them were never seen again.

Here are today’s questions: 1. What picture is the above scene taken from? Was Allen Jenkins in it? Who were tlje producers? > 4. Is Dick Powell related to Willi \vn Powell? 5. What was Ruby Keeler’s first ’motion picture? Anew memory test will be printed in tomorrow’s Times.

NAVY SPONSORS PROPOSALS TO AIDMLES Urges Leasing to Private Companies of Helium Facilities. By Scrippt-Hoicard Setctpaper Alliance WASHINGTON. Nov. 30.—America's future strength in the air may be affected by congress’ action on proposals for anew helium policy. With reserve lands capable of producing enough of the gas to operate twenty-five Macon-size dirigibles for seventy-five years, the navy has proposed to the federal aviation commission that the government lease its production facilities to private operators as a means of stimulating the dirigible industry commercially. In no other country has enough helium been found to lift dirigibles. This fact, aviation experts agree, offers to the United States unquestioned leadership in lighter-than-air development. Present laws forbid exportation

of helium except by the President's permission. Foreign-owned dirigibles must depend on hydrogen, which, although slightly more buoyant, is highly inflammable and thus less valuable for military use. The new helium policy was proposed to the commission by Commander Garland Fulton, for ten years the navy's engineer on lighter-than-air and regarded as one of the world's experts. His proposals coincide with efforts to have PWA finance construction of two ships to be leased for transoceanic service but handed over for military service in case of war. The commission also has heard proposals for anew navy ship to replace the lost Akron and a smal.'er training ship to replace the decommissioned Los Angeles. Commander Fulton advocateo lecse of the government’s helium facilities to private operators at terms which would give the government priority on helium deliveries and preferential prices. He proposed that the government confine its operations to exploration, experimenation and research, with supervision over conservation. The present law permits the government plants to “lease” helium, but as the gas is perishable ro way has been found to utilize right. Small quantities have been donated for scientific uses, but not a dollar’s

worth has been sold sine* the gov* ernment started producing in IH7. Helium, derived from certain types of natural gas, was first produced by the government near Ft, Worth, Tex. When the supply became depleted operation.! were shifted to Socny, near Ainarillo. in Texas' panhandle. First produced at a cost of 1400 a thousand cubic feet, helium is now obtained at less than $lO and, according to commander Fulton, the price would be about $6 if the plant were operated at its capacity of 24.000.000 cubic feet a year. New discoveries obviate the need for strict conservation, he said, and large quantities will go to waste unless used. The Helium Company of Louisville. with lands in Colorado and Kansas, is the only producer of any size aside from the government.
