Hitler Will Toad Suicide Army i in Froid Assault Upon Allies, Psychologist Says

GAY NIGHT LIFE OF PARIS SLIPS WITH WARTIME

- Most of Frenchmen Doggedly Go About Drab Affair Of Ending Hitlerism.

(Third of a Series) By RALPH HEINZEN United Press Staff Correspondent PARIS, March 15—One day last week a band from the British Royal Air Force marched down the broad Champs Elysees blaring 4 military tune.

A great crowd cheered, It was almost the first military band Paris had heard in the streets since the war started and the popular re-

sponse illustrated the drabness of

. war-time for the common people. There still is a whirl of gay night life in Paris if you look—and pay— for it, but for the mass of people this war is swiftly becoming a treraendous effort to put all phases of everyday life on an emergency basis. The French see no chance of an early peace, they are doggedly determined to get rid of Adolf Hitler as a neighbor and they expect intense fighting on the Western Front this spring. For the average Frenchman the

war is belatedly becoming a matter |-

of occasional air alarms, of bread cards and of francs and centimes. And this, they believe, is only the beginning, Three Meatless Days Now Henceforth, three meatless days a week will be observed. French-/ men will hand over 15 per cent of their earnings as a war tax in addition to regular direct and indirect taxes. Tens of thousands of women

are in factories and other jobs to

replace mea at the front. Food

Ly and gasoline is rationed to a limited

extent. The luxury trades are suffering big losses. Unemployment has been eliminated. But there is no music. and no holiday atmosphere in this war. Nor is there any of the bitterness against the “boches” of the World War. There was an attempt recently to “put over” a French war song, such as “Mademoiselle of Armentiers” or “Tipperary” in the last war. Maurice Chevalier tried to get the people interested in “A Daughter of Mademoiselle of Armentiers.” But not even the famous music hall star could make it click. New Night Clubs Open

There are fewer orchestras in the cafes where Paris families used to go for an evening of entertainment, but there are five new night clubs in downtown Paris since Christmas. More are opening each week and business is good. : Harry Pilcer, who was the American partner of Gaby Deslys, is opening “L’Aiglon” with the place sold out. Lucienne Boyer as well as another cafe featuring M.

Chevalier and Josephine Baker are,

packed each night by crowds that spend mioney and laugh heartily. There is usually a heavy sprinkling of army uniforms. The women are as smartly dresesd as ever. But there is another side to wartint France. The women are working in almost every industry in order to fill the places left vacant by men who are in the army. The ladies of the Paris boulevards have almost disappeared because of the blackout and officials claim that the capital is now virtually a “crimeless city.” For the most part, the French people merely are making a patriotic gesture in going on food The French can still dine royally compared to the Germans.

Waiter Is So Sorry

A typical example was a dinner this week at Ciros. The waiter was profusely -apologetic. All he could . offer were 14 kinds of oysters, fish, duck, chicken, turkey, squab liver and kidneys. One of the amusing features of the French rationing system is the rule providing for “liquor-less days,” of which there are three weekly. On those days, hard liquor cannot be purchased but it can be taken from the Frenchman'’s private stock. Furthermore, on those three days the French must get along on only champagne, wine and beer, which are not rationed. When the war started, all of Paris was prepared for the worst possible in the form of aerial attack. But now gas masks are seldom seen. More than half of the normal 5,000,000 persons in the Paris area evacuated hurriedly at the start of the war but most of them are back now, except for some school children.

Psychosis Will Bring Attack, Death in Two Years, He Adds.

T'imes Special NEW YORK, March 15.—Because

{of his psychosis, Adolf Hitler next

will try to head a’ suicide army of a million men in a frenzied attack upon the Allies, a psychologist declared here today. The psychologist, Dr. David Seabury, Town Hall lecturer and author of nine books, predicted the very frenzy of such a dash would cause its failure and Hitler's death. He gave himself a limit of two years for his prophecy to come true. Dr. Seabury’s last public prophecy on Hitler's career, a year ago last October in West Coast lectures, forecast the alliance between Hitler and Josef Stalin as a consequence of Hitler’s schizophrenia.

Here's a Diagnosis

A large but brisk man with a gray Vandyke, Dr. Seabury said at his apartment, that he based his analy~ sis both on published material and his own contacts with intelligence and military experts. He classified Hitler as definitely psycopathic—insane, to the point that he cannot always handle himself. The German Chancellor, he said, suffered both from paranoia, delusions of grandeur and schizophrenia, split personality. “Hitler has less than two more years in which’ his mental equilibrium will be sufficient for any adequate continuing leadership,” the psychologist rdded. First Sign of Breaking “The first sign of breaking came when his anger forced him to take Poland six months too soon. He should’ have waited until March, according to military men. “He lost at that time to Stalin control of middle Europe, which he had insisted up to then was the whole goal of the Nazi party. “The next attempt of Hitler to dramatize himself as a great national hero will be his putting himself at the head of an army of a million men to drive around the Maginot Line, at one end or the other. “He cares not in the least 'who

fer to drive through a neutral, just to punish it for being neutral. The French are an enemy—an attack on the Maginot Line directly would be nothing but a contest. But his psyche rages because a neutral is merely neutral.” National Spirit Svffering, Too

Dr. Searbury declared German military leaders might permit Hitler to stage his attack simply to get rid of him, although he maintained that the German nation was suffering in the same way as Hitler from a psychologic split. The national split, he said, was between militarism on the one hand and the domestic beauties of Ger-

man music and culture on the other. Hitler’s death, he said, might unite the nation in a national “absolute blind fury of fighting, bombing of London and all that.”

Stalinizing Hitler, brought him angry protests and threats in San Francisco, and ‘even one message containing poison. He said he based that forecast on a belief that “in dealing with Hitler, we are dealing with schizophrenia, a division of mind in extreme opposition to two different poles.” When such a mind is compelled to make a change, its change is always to the. drastically opposite. Hitler's advent, Dr. Seabury went on, had been based on “the totalitarian idea for the welfare of the industrial leaders.” “As long as he_could go places that way, he would carry along that idea. But wi pressure of eco-

nomic circumstances and military necessities grew, it was perfectly

NEW YORK, March 15 (U. P.).— Mrs. Elsa Flury sat amidst the squalor of her mudhole Bronx flat today, stroked her pet white rat Oscar, and said she still loved her husband even though he had tried to burn her alive last night. With her two dogs barking angrily, a canary chirping and two roosters cackling under a rickety table, the 36-year-old mother of two children tried to explain her husband’s act. She said she was in a night dress last night when suddenly her husband, who had been brooding over their poverty, appeared in the doorway of the bedroom with a can in his hand. Without a word, she said, he threw the contents—kerosene—over her head and then tossed a hurning match at her drenched hair. There was a spurt of flame and an agonized scream. Mr. Flury, unemployed for more than a year, walked back to the kitchen, and sat down quietly, ap-, parently unmindful of his act. His wife’s screams aroused their children—Margaret, 14, and Irene, 7—who helped her smother the flames with a blanket. Police tcok the husband to Bellevue Hospital for examination. He protested: his innocence, insisting that his wife had fried to take her own life after a previous attempt last Christmas. Today, in bare feet and smiling

despite the burns on her neck, Mrs.

Wife Still Loves Mate Who Tried to Burn Her Alive

Flury said she could understand why her husband had tried to kill her.

“Take him back? of course I'll take him back,” she said. “I love him. 'It’s been so hard to get along, and it was driving him mad, not being able to give the children what they need.” Mrs. Flury said she had been a stenographer when she and Mr. Flury were married 15 years ago. He was then employed steadily as a milk truck driver; and they were happy. She said they lived for years in comfort and were able to do everything for their children. Then, eight years ago, Mr. Flury suffered a head injury in an accident and has been intermittently . sick ever since. Eventually he lost his job. Harassed by poverty, they kept moving to poorer and poorer homes until finally they were forced into the mud section of the Bronx, one of the poorest in the city. Mr. Flury, she said, “took it hard.” “He would walk around mumbling to himself,” she said. “He would jump at the slightest noise. He was cranky, but he never before harmed any of us.” She recalled the Christmas Eve when she wanted to die and tried to. “I was miserable,” she recalled.

{“There was no food in the house

and so near Christmas. But Ill never do it again.”

JOFFA SUBPENAED IN U. S. TAXPROBE

CHICAGO, March 15 (U.P.).— Abe Joffa, operator of the Enterprise Racing Service at Indianapolis, came to Chicago today under subpena as a witness before a Federal Grand Jury investigating alleged evasions of taxes om huge gambling incomes. Mr. Joffa said he had been called upon to produce books and records of his operations since M. L. Annenberg’s nation-wide racing news service was disbanded. He said he disseminates race information by telegraph to handbooks within Indiana and that his-service is legal. He said the Federal statute cannot

be invoked against his intra-state operation.

$78,000 NOE ESTATE

IS WILLED TO wibow

Nicholas Noe, 72-year-old retired |

contractor who died Sunday, left an estate of approximately $78,000 to his wife, Mrs. Anna Noe, according to the will filed today $ Probate Court. The estate consisted of about $60,000 in real estate and $18,000 in personal property.

Dr. Seabury’s last public critique,

natural for him to swing to the exact opposite. He joined hands with Stalin. “Both men were complete dictators. One was for the idea of industrial totalitarianism—the other for totalitarianism of the workers. All that Hitler shifted was his propaganda center. Nothing else changed.” The shift was all the easier, Dr. Seabury held, because German military leaders had long believed they could not fight the Allies with a hostile Russia at their backs. Stalin had desired German friendship to remove a danger from his own path in the Baltic and the Balkans. “There is nothing of an insane streak in Stalin,” Dr. Seabury said. “He originally trained to be‘a Russian priest of the variety who were absolutely despotic in Tsarist days. Some revolutionary contact gave him a social orientation, but he did not shed his brutality of spirit. “Hitler's weakness is his emotional instability. Stalin’s weakness is his provincialism. That was why Stalin calculated, for instance, that the Russian submerged man, not knowing what he was doing, could stand up against the Finnish pa-

of orphans sick and wounded. Its economic life is disorganized. Its people are in despair.” He read cables from Kyosti Kallio, Finland's President, and A. K. Cajander, former Prime Minister, asking the Unitel States to continue its aid. Kallio said: . “Deeply grateful for the humani-

suffering on account of the war for the population of the ceded areas will be moving into the territory of the republic.”
