And he explains that he reserves to himself the right to decide the moment when public Thyssen wrote to the United Press because he objected ettry hohenzqllerns It is an axiom of modern publicity that sometimes a man attacts attention to an accusation by denying it. This was A illustrated today by his once Imperial Highness, Prince August Wilhelm, youngest son of the former Kaiser. He issued an indignant denial that the Hohensollerns or any members of the family, had any connection with the bomb explosion in the beer hall at Munich on November theEighth, the bomb explosion following a speech by Hitler. The report was published as gossip last week but nobody took it seriously. However, now Prince August Wilhelm makes it real news. Princeytagtre^Wi^lela^r now fifty-two years old, is a general of Nazi Storm Troopers and carries a gold medal pinned on his breast by FsefiW* Hitler himself. He said the proud Hohhenzollern family is unanimous in supporting Hitler. There are thirteen Hohenzollerns in the fighting ranks of the Third Reich today. That is, there were thirteen when the war broke out. One of them was killed in Poland.

That number followed up the admission that the total^ of ships sunk in the past nine days now amounts to fourteen, including the ten that went down over the weekend. Of those ten, four were British vessels, five were neutrals, one unidentified. Most of them are supposed to have been destroyed by loose mines.

More trouble is threatened between Sfazi Germany and Holland* A German plane was flying ewer the Netherlands territory, violating Dutch neutrality. Anti-aircraft guns shot it down, killed the pilot. That followed on a protest last Saturday when the government of the Netherlands complained that Nazi flying boats were coming down to the surface of Dutch territorial waters.

It begins with five thousand telephone workers. By Chilean law, a union has to give tea days’ notice before striking. The telephone workers in Santiago, capital of Chile, have given warning that if their demands aren’t met, they will walk out on the last day of this month. But that isn't all. The owners of a large textile mill, the most modem in South America, are going out of business. They say they have been paying ten per cent higher wages than the others, and have been trying to cooperate with the social benefit policy of the government. But all their efforts have been in vain. So they’re going to close down, liquidate. Twenty thousand other mill workers have been threatening a strike and sorely embarrassing the Popular Front government of Chile. So far that strike has been postponed because the government has declared that a complete walkout in any industjy , is against the law. A strike in Chile must be directed only against each plant individually. Way down south, almost at the Straits of Magellan, Arenas, five thousand workers in a house were CHILE - 2 about to strike.

It concerns Hedy LaMarr, beautiful star of motion picture, "Ecstacy," in which the lady attained fame by donning the costume of Lady Godiva - or should X say "doffing?" Madam LaMarr, having no picture to make for the time being, was engaged to appear on the *g***m-fe» legitimate stage in the part d>f "Salome", whose dancing so appealed to King Herod. The rumor got around, probably more by design than by accident, that the LaMarr was to wear the same clothes wear, in "Ecstacy". A A As a result of that rumor, she became the subject of a court injunction. MadameLaMarr is under contract to Loew’s, the picture producers. As her employer, the firm objects to her appearing on the stage without benefit of dressmaker. la HUNTER A young man from Detroit went deer hunting in the north woods.
