ee TERNS 1% 0 A hl A AS Is Nazism Dead Or Just Sleeping ant Conant came home after fout years as U.S. High Commissioner In occupied Germany and ambas- sador to the new republic, he confidently told a Harvard au- dience: "Nazism is dead and buried." A year later, Chancellor Konrad Adenauer asserted dur- ing an interview that "anti-Semi- tism | , , has disappeared." To these sanguine proclama- tions, T. H. Tetens--a German journalist who served on the War Crimes Commission In Washington from 1946 to 1947-- offers a piercing rebuttal in his just-published book "The New rmany and the Old Nazis." In the postwar years, says Tetens, thousands of convicted war crim- inals have been released and pensioned off by the Adenauer government, synagogues have been smeared with swastikas, old SS divisions have held reunion rallies with anti-Semitic shout- Ing. These and many other signs are exhibited by Tetens as evi- dence that Germany today--from the police and small-town may- ors to the courts, the schools, the army, and Adenauer's Cabinet-- is permeated by Nazis who are waiting to restore Germany to {ts former "glory." "For the present, and as long as Adenauer stays at the helm, the come-back of an overt Nazi party is blocked," Tetens says. But, he insists, one-fifth of the German people are ardently Nazi, and another two-fifths arc strong- ly anti-Semitic and would prob- ably support the Nazis. As for the present government, Tetens claims that Adenauer himself, to buy his present political supre- macy, brought the Nazis into the Cabinet. 3 This, of course, is less a defi- nitive study than a political pam- phlet written in flat journalistic style and employing so little selective judgment that the opin- fon of a newspaper reporter from Basel gets as much credence as that of Ambassador Conant. But "the words of Dr. Kurt Frey of the German republic's Perma- nent Council of the Ministers of Education supply Tetens with a thought worth pondering: "This natlon is still mentally ill, more than is generally thought ..,. 99 per cent of the people do not yet understand , , . that there Is no more Reich and there never can be." From NEWSWEEK It 1sn't that some people are al- ways right. It's just that they argue better. | Week's Sew-thrifty PRINTED PATTERN Use a 100-pound feedbag or a gay remnant to make this handy kitchen - helper!

The maples are magnificent. The leaves have been a long time turning but at last the country is decked out in its full autumn glory. We had a letter from Partner's sister today. She is back in Eng- land after an enjoyable and un- eventful flight. She said it took her as long to get from London to Bournemouth as it did to fly the Atlantic. . That sort of thing applies to both sides of the water. We have been more or less getting back to normal this week--odd jobs done and so on. Partner has been busy outside and I have finished the last of my six pairs of pyjamas for our grandsons. After sending home the first three pairs I said to Dee--"Oh, my goodness, I forgot to put pockets on the jackets!" never know the difference." Oh no? Today 1 phoned birthday greetings to Dave and the first thing I heard was this: "Grand- ma, do you know what , .. you forgot to put pockets on our pyjamas!" I'm telling you, young- sters these days don't miss a trick. } Of course, like everyone else -- I hope -- we followed with great interest the Conservative Con- ventnion and the election of a new Ontario Prime Minister. Mr. Leslie Frost has done a wonder- ful job and we are sorry to see him go but he certainly deserves a rest -- and he has had the wisdom to give up before he cracks up. We don't know any- thing about Mr. Robarts so we can't express an opinion. Cer- tainly he has youth and vitality in his favour. If he has the wis- dom to match all should be well. But that has yet to be proven. ~ And another matter that has been uppermost in our minds -- the threatened explosion of that - hugé megaton bomb by the Rus- sians, It all sounds so crazy. Surely if thé results are likely to be so devastating the Russians will suffer just as much as the rest of humanity. But do you know, some people even get a little humour out of the situation. In a letter from England today the: writer said this: "Maybe if we live long enough in this nu-" clear age the genes may get mix- ed up to the point where we'll all sprout wings and fly our way across the Atlantic without bene- fit of planes!" Well, now, that's a hopeful thought isn't it? More cheering than the probability of two-headed monsters, When 1 came back from shop- ping this afternoon 1 noticed * Partner was at the back of our acre-lot putting up what appear- ed to be a small shack, I walked over to him, "Look", I said, "that isn't big enough to be any good." "Good for what?" he asked. "A fall-out shelter." "Who said Anyiling about a fall-out shelter? This is a shelter for my compost heap! 1 no soon or get leaves gathered up than wind blows them away again, ~~ With this shelter I ean i fost keep them in one place." "Don't Worry == "tha& boys will -- course I hadn't really thought it was a fall-out shelter. .Siding nailed on to four posts wouldn't be much protection for anything -- except a compost heap. Earlier in the day I had a pro- fective brain-wave of quite a different nature. We have a large front porch and recessed door- way with glass panels. It allows us-to see out but it also allows | visitors, vendors and undersir- ables to see in before I can get to the door. So.I put a mirror on. the side wall which reflects the imagine of the caller. And now my dear readers I'm going to ask you a question. ., have you any problems? I can hear you answer "What a question -- who hasn't prob- lems?" Exactly, but how often . do 'we realize the fact? Sure, we all have problems -- family, fi- nancial, physical or mental. Just lately every person with whom -I-have-come in contact seems to have very serious problems, A friend, partly incapacitated, has gone home alone after spending a year in hospital. An elderly couple on a farm is in-dire straits, one with diabetes, the other with ruptured varicose veins. A mid- dle-aged couple are paying a mortgage on a house that is vacant .and_won't sell. A young mother with two children and expecting a third has not been allowed out of bed since her sixth month. All very real prob- lems -- and you can doubtless think of others -- including your own. We all try to find a solu- tion to our worries. Sometimes-it takes a long time before we meet with success. The thing is, what- ever their nature, we have to learn to live with our problems, "without becoming beaten, embit- tered or sick at heart. Things eventually have a way of straigh-- tening out and it is well to re- member that so often "the dark- est hour is just before the dawn". Remember too, YOU are not the only one who has problems. Successful Artist Three Years Old! At the Cincinnati Zoo, which boasts a splendid season of grand opera each summer in an airy pavilion between Monkey Island and the Reptile House, culture is taken as much for granted as the roaring of lions during the death scene of "La Bohéme." But even-at such a level of sophisti- cation, Cincinnati was prepared for the prodigious rise of Beauty, a chimpanzee scarce ly dry behind the ears, to the giddiest heights of abstract art, in less than seven months. Last month, after the triumphant, champagne - toasted opening of her one-chimp show at a fashion- able New York art gallery, Beau- #0 eliminate the filling soup." hardly - ty found herself more famous at the age of three than Picasso-- at the age of three. As the ex- cited word of Beauty's talent be. _came the talk of the haut monde, critics; feature writers, and News> paper and television cameramen swarmed to the Bianchini Gal- lery in Manhattan. Paintings sold "so fast at from $25 to "$95 each | that the artist, back in her zoo studio, was reportedly working _her fingers to the bone (she.is a finger painter) Yo keep up with demand. More paintings requested before the. show was two days old. It loked.as though the Cincinnati Zoological Society would realize well over $5,000 by the time the show closed. Some of the early purchasers of Beauty's work, like collector and café society photographer Jerome Zerbe, seemed a little sheepish about buying anthro- poid art, Zerbe explained with a nervous laugh that his acquisi- tion was a Christmas present for his niece; then promptly hung it in his Sutton Place apartment, Others, like Arthur A. Hough- ton Jr, president of Steuben Glass, who bought several, were forthright in their admiration, "A brilliant discovery!" Hough- ton said with a smile. Beauty's inspiring success story began last April' as a publicity gag for an Arts Festival at the zoo. "Why not," asked Mrs, Anne H. Stevenson, a zoo trustee and modern-art buff, "teach one of the trained chimps to paint in- stead of just riding its pony or roller skating all day long?" 'Beauty's finger painting, on cardboard in five colors of gou- ache, was the hit of the festival, and "the demand grew so fast, that the price zoomed from-noth-- ing, to $25 framed, to $50 un- framed. Beauty's road to fame and for- tune was not without its pot- holes. Her attention span was maddeningly limited. She went through a brown period so de- pressing that her brown paint finally was withdrawn (unlike -Picasso,-who simply outgrewhis-- blue period). ) Beauty remained at home in Cincinnati all through the New York excitement for fear that she might catch pneumonia. Be- sides, explained Mrs. Stevenson, Beauty is happier at home with her partner, Bean, and their close friends -- Winnie, a pony, Blackjack, a Husky dog, and a baby elephant, still unnamed. When the, news got out that the Cincinnati Zoo had a baby elephant at its command, a trem- or_ rocked the whole world of modern art nlite - Three-Moon Theory -Startles Scientists omer has startled. scientists by. | Take a look at the moon al the first opportunjty and then pon- der the question: Has the earth THREE moons? A Polish astron~ reporting to the International Astronomical Union that he had photographed two faint "clouds" circing the earth in the same or- bit as the moon but some dis- tance behind it. He thinks they may be moons made up of meteoric debris and collected over thousands of mil- lions of years. The origin of the moon which space explorers may soon set foot upon is still a big puzzle. It used to be thought that it was once part of the earth and broke away millions of years ago leaving a "hole" that became the bed of the Pacific Ocean. But today's astronomers now believe that it might have been a small passing planet that was caught and held by the earth's pull or that.it was formed from "left-overs" of the cooling mass of gas that formed our earth. The startling' theory that the - moon will' one day collide with the earth was propounded by one scientist. Planets, he explained, follow an elliptical spiral orbit so that thé distance from the centre of the orbit gradually de- creases. : Our familiar moon is therefore getting nearer and nearer to the earth. But we are safe for an- other few million years! A French scientist has demon strated that light reflected from volcanic ash exactly matches moonlight. Others believe the moon's surface-is covered with a layer of fine meteoric ash many feet deep or with a crust of por- ous slag formed during the melt- ing 'and cooling of-rock-as-a -re---|- sult of a non-stop "bombard- ment" of the surface by meteor ites, ! ; We use the phrase "once In a blue: moon" without realizing that a blue moon WAS seen dur« - ing the 1902 eclipse. The moon's surface, though cut off from stinlight by the passing of the earth's shadow, reflected light from 'the earth's atmosphere and was noticeably blue, Many a man has tried to pull the wool over his wife's eyes by using the wrong yarn, were ps # bo k 1 SCENTIMENTAL -- Her al- mond eyes set upon a movie career, Oriental actress Thien Hwong graces a party on Rome's Via Veneto. In her native Viet Nam, her name means 'Heavenly Perfume." Cyclone, Typhoon Or Hurricane? Hurricanes and typhoons are severe tropical cyclones whose winds are 74 miles an hour or higher. But whether a cyclone is cyclone pedents on its birthplaec, according to the United States Weather Bureau. Storms of 'this type which form over the tropical areas of the At- lantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, the eastern North Pacific Ocean, the South Pacific Ocean and the southern __Indian_ Ocean. are hurricanes. - Typhoons come from the North Pacific (west of the International Date Line), and cyclones from the northern Indian Ocean, the Bay of Bengal, and the Arabian Sea. Ad "Carla" was called a hurricane Caribbean; "Nancy," occurring in the North Pacific, was called a typhoon. DEADLOCK -- Jury deliber- ated 16 hours, failed to reach a verdict in the burglary trial of Lillian Reis of Philadelphia.

It's a chemical called Apholate, which when eaten or even walked housefly), renders . the insect - sterile. Thus the fly lives out its 30-day life as before, with one hitch--its eggs don't hatch, Olin entomologists hope that Aphol- ate 'may eventually eliminate what they say is "the biggest single transmitter of disease." The chemical -- originally de- veloped as a cancer cure but abandoned as not too promising -- is still in the experimental stage. But preliminary field tests show what can be done. In the Florida Keys last summer, Olin scientists mixed the sterilant with a "bait" made of cornmeal and sugar and scattered it around. Within a month, 80 per cent of the fly population on the test isl- ands was wiped out, Olin hopes to have the product on the market by 1964. It will take that long to test all its ef- fects--such as those on other in- sects and even people. And while housewives can contemplate fly- free homes, businessmen can hope to profit, too. One example: It dairymen eliminate. flies by sprinkling Apholate around their barns, cows can spend less time tails, have more time to produce milk contentedly. Keeper Of Famous Tomb Retires Hundreds of young lovers write to Romeo or Juliet at Verona, Italy. Here lived-the couple on whom Shakespeare based his ever-popular love story. For twenty years these letters have been answered by Ettore Solimani, the keeper and custodi- where Romeo is also said to be buried. . 3 fostered the legend that if lovers visiting the tomb desired life- long happiness or asked advice, their wishes would be granted. _ addressed to. 'Juliet, Verona," others to "The Private Secretary, Juliet Capulet, Verona." He has penned 10,000 replies since 1941, and now he has re- tired. Girls who were thinking of jilting- their sweethearts were told to think again. Of his work Solimani said: "I answer the 1 writers" - little prayers and tei them not to worry." Now he has gone and instead of listening to this sixty-five- year-old man telling what has been called "the greatest love story in the world" visitors put fifty lire (8¢) in a juke box, and hear it recited in English, French, German and Italian.
