L.T. SUNOCO. MONDAY« OCTOBER 10. GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY; ( do you think of the Lindberg story? The Humber One hero of America becomes overnight the Number One Public Enemy of Soviet Russia. The comrades in Moscow can*t find words strong enough for our Lone Eagle.y That is, if he still is ours and not John Bull's, A couple of months ago, the Flying Colonel and his lady went to Moscow, and were the toast of the town. If they went back f today, they'd probably be toasted in a different sense. What they don't like about our Flying Colonel is that be is supposed to have saidl that the Bolshevik air force isn't so hot. What is worse still, he is said to have said that Hitler'& aviation is tops. Anyway, there's | a terrific rumpus about It. In f act today, it becomes an international episode. Lindy, as usual, gives an imitation of Uncle Remus' tar baby. You remember the tale, "Tar baby ain't say in' nothing.’1 But the Red Russians sure are saying plenty. On the face of things, apparently te rumpus was started when Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh upon their return to Engldnd, dined with Lady Astor; Lady Astor who Is termed the spearhead of the pro—Hitier party in England. And people who don’t like Chamberlains' policy, have thrown a large dollop of blame on the shoulders o± Lady Astor, LINDBERGH - 2 Husband Viscount Astor. where Lindy dined with f * the Astors. (^He and Mrs. Lindbergh had made quite a long tour through Germany, inspecting airports, etc. Evidently, the Germans showed him everything, ground equipment, hangars, mechanical establishment, etc. Last August he and Mrs-. Lindbergh also went to Russia. They ztxts stayed there about three weeks, and the Soviet aviation big shots also showed them everythingr^He was a semi-official guest on aviation day, which was supposed to be a demonstration of the might and galaxy of the Soviet strength in the air. in Europe too Soon _aft^ the Lindberghs dined at the Astors*. events )OKthe^t>»i^«-^#eJjfe^iaeerd--eo much-abou nweifabotrlfr Chamberlain flew to Berchtesgaden, Godesberg and finally Munich, and there the capitulation took place. ^After Britain and France surrendered to Hitler, Chamberlain's adversaries^said he did it because he had been misinformed; H« had been told that Russia was too slender a reed to rely upon' that the Russian air force was not what it was cracked up to be; LINDBERGH - 3 that Hitlerfs air force was strong enough to lick John Bull, France, Czechoslovakia and Russia all together. That, they say, was the final crushing reason that made Chamberlain bow to the Fuehrer. And last week it began to be rumored that this information about Hitler’s air strength and Stalin's air weakness, came from none other than^»u*>-■<**» The Flying Colonel had told it at Lady Astor’s table. Lady Astor had promptly telephoned 16 & the news to the Prime Minister, and thus was history made! Such is the report that's burning up the wires and tiafregfl. on the other side of the Atlantic today. Only today was A A the charge openly made that all this aviation information came to the British Prime Minister 1!* rom^ And thatfs what burns up the Soviet aviation chiefs. They describe him as "a man who was once a flier and is now a political speculator.” And they xs£2 say: "His last achievement was to perform such a non-stop flight into the realm of^*tla*^j and slander that he at once beat all records of Baron Muenchausen. They also accuse Lindbergh of lying on a different euau LINDBERGH - 4 ___ count. They charge him with having said that he was offered a job as chief of civil aviation in the Soviet Union. And this, they say is a lie. All of which sounds odd to say the least. They also aver in their carefully prepared statement that: "The Soviet air fleet is at least equal to the air force of Germany and Japan combined, to say nothing about the qualitative superiority of Soviet aviation.11 Of course they1 renot doing any boasting. In short, the comrades of the Soviet today put upon Lindy's shoulders, the blame for much of the Caeehoslovak business. Well, that blame is being passed around now. Colonel Lindbergh was reported today as being on his way from Paris to Berlin. Because of his flight, he landed for a brief time, in Rotterdam. Not available for the interviews that he probably wouldn1t have given anyway. EUROPE The mills of the gods are supposed to grind slowly. But these days they're grinding pretty fast in central Europe. What Hitler doesn't get one way he's getting by another. His troops occupied the fifth Sudeten zone in Czechoslovakia today. But that's only a comparatively small and ceremonial part of what's going on. The leaders of crumpling Czechoslovakia have just received a proposal from Berlin. It suggests that the Czechs join the German customs union and also have the same currency. In other words. the one-time Czechoslovakian republic become* a part of the German Reich£ A economically and financially dependent upon Berlin, a part of Hitler's domain. Of course people are asking, "Will the Czechs consent?" The answer is, "What else can they do?" And gradually the remaining Balkan countries are on to the Hitler bandwagon. Yugoslavia is the latest. nment ^as been r a large portion of Heretofore the government^ the people anti-Hitler. Today the Prince Kegent of Yugoslavia, _ . fi the King's uncle, dissolved parliament,*^ announces a reorganization of the.cabinet, a new cabinet with strong leanings,. ^ the Rorae-Berlin axis. His Eminence, Cardinal Innitser, Archbishop of Vienna, was not injiired by the stone that was supposed to have hit him at prayer. That1s the latest from Vienna. In fact wasnit in his archlepiscopal palace when it was stormed by a Nazi mob. Today there' s one surprise reaction to the storming of the Cardinal*s palace. It was only to be expected that it should arouse general disgust. But, it also aroused something else, the anger of Hi tier. The Fuehrer has sent one of his private staff to Vienna to investigate and a dispatch from Berlin tells u* that Hitler is furious. Also there is no truth in the report that the Viennese Cardinal is under arrest, although he is being protected by a body guard of black uniformed Nazi troopers. As proof that he is not under arrest, Nazi officials announce that the Cardinal will deliver an address at the famous Cathedral of St. Stephen in Vienna, on Thursday. There was still great excitement in the former Austrian capital today. A multitude of Nazi sympathizers staged a demonstration in the streets against the Cardinal* But the police finally got them under control. The Vie.uia cops arrested one fellow who VIEMNA - 2 shouted: nInnitzer is a swine!1* Saturdayf s mob man-handled the Cardinal*s secretary, an aged Monsignor. The Nazi rioters tried to throw him out of window, but he clung to the jagged edges of the window fratae and saved his life. Another member of the archdiocesean staff, sixty years old, was actually hurled out of a palace window. From Vatican City we hear that the Holy See i s preparing a strong official complaint against the happenings of Saturday evening. One after-effect of Saturday’s riot is exactly w'hat might have been e xpected. Since the beginning of the Christian era, Christian churche have grown and thrived upon persecution. That invasion of the Cardinal’s palace in Vienna has already produced symptoms of strong religious revivial throughout all the regions of wh'it used to be Austria. And the Cardinal is to talk matters over with Hitler PRINCETON TheyWe been holding an election at Princeton University or, ratner, I should say a poll. It was a poll conducted by the Daily Princetonian among this year’s freshmen,six hundred and seventy-four. The editorial board of the PRINCETONIAN wanted to find out how the freshmen felt about the affairs of the day. The principal question v.as: "Whom do you_ consider the greatest living person in the v.orld?" And whom do you suppose those freshmen picked? Neville Chamberlainl And who do you suppose wa the runner-up? Adolf Hitlerl Neville nosed out Adolf by one vote! — ^ And here’s a peculiar corollary to that expression of opinion. Half this year’s Princeton1s freshmen think it’s highly i: loubtful whether Hitler is sane. / HUTTON irf 1]miivr'ihiji nrtnri Tnj_ht- ti-r-mmim n- »■! 1 -jTap IwUu-^liOa^ coming back to us* There1s < A 77 ^ » Countess Barbara is he high seas that she*s aboard the NORMANDIE # the French liner expected to dock in New York ^Late- "aniiagi.

John Strachey, mho bears one of those distinguished English literary surnames. Stracheys have been much to the forefront of letters in London. One of them, we will recall, told us all about Queen Victoria. This particular Strachey, John, has been reputed to be a Communist. So, there was a question whether he would be permitted to enter the United States. Tonignt * s .answer is - No - Vinen he tried to land today at New York, John Strachey was refused permission MOONEY - 'he Surpreme Court of the United States once against declines :4i to review the decision of the California courts against Tom Mooney * s appeal, Mooney was convicted largely by persons bearing false witness against their neighbor, so his petitions have frequently stated* But this year again: the high court turns its thumbs down on Mooney* B$t not all of the eight justices — there are only eight of them at present. The two latest recruits in the Supreme Court decline to agree with their senior colleagues. Mr. Justice Black and Mr. Justice Stanley Reed dissent from the majority opinion, think the Mooney case should be at least reviewed. In his cell at San Quentin prison, Mooney says he gives up the fight. That is* the legal fight for his freedom. But he has another idea. He may appeal to the labor unions to get together and take politico-economic action in his behalf. Wonder if that means a general strike — a strike to liberate Tom Mooney? What other interpretation of politico-econonic action could there he? KIDNAP The latent kidnapping case came almost to its conclusion in a court at Minneapolis today. It was the matter of* a twenty-tliree year old man named John Couch. On August thirteenth he and another ruffian were running away from the law. They needed a motor car for their flight, came upon a couple, a young man and a young v oman, on the outskirts of St.Louis. They stole the car, kidnapped the young man and woman, took them north all the way to Minnesota* Then they bound and gagged them and left them to their fate in a woodlot near Minneapolis. Two days later, both Couch and his companion were rounded up by law 7 officers* The companion was killed. Couch arrested. Today a federal judt,e in Minneapolis sentenced Couch to remain in jail for the term of his natural life. WASTE-BASKET A thrifty gentleman in Pittsburgh had an unusual sort of savings bank. His business is owning an express wagon and also selling coal to the neighbors. Every Monday morning he would add up his cash, deduct the total of his bills, and put the difference into a waste-basket. In this way he thought he would fool any robber. This morning, a strange teankjat bandit walked into that coal office. Producing a gun, he saids ’’This is a stick-up. Give me all your moneylw The coal man proceeded to turn out his pockets and show that he had nothing. But the robber said; "Don*t try to fool me. I want what’s in the waste-basket.” And the thrifty coal man had to hand over four hundred and ten dollars. Maybe there’s some kind of a moral in x± that, but I can’t think what it is Here * s a news item that ought to be the fish story to end all fish stories. However, it's not a sporting tale. It has to do with the men who go down to the sea in ships with large nets and earn their living thereby. The episode happened at Lubec, Maine, on the much discussed Passamaquoddy Bay. The herring fleet came in from the Newfoundland banks or wherever it is that they go to catch herring. And they unloaded their scaley, smelly freight into a two story plant. The catch was so heavy, that this twro story fish plant groaned and creaked, finally gave way, and fell down. Some twenty men and women were tossed into the cold, cold waters of Quoddy Bay.
