T. Flynn Says: "Something to Read If You Think Hen- Hitler a "Mad' man" Who Doesn't Know Where He's Goimr By JOHN FLYNN NEA Service Staff Correspondent The favorite term for Hitler in this country now is "madmnn It is of profound interest to wakh how this "madman" moves with inflexible logic toward his goals. More than two years ago several -Ovolumes appeared in (notably Ernst Henri's "Hitler Over Europe" in which Hitler's future plans were outlined. These outlines were based partly on Hitler's book but also upon innumerable statements made by him since he came to power. At the time I wrote an outline of the predictions of these books.

Since that time almost every prophecy then made has been fulfilled in abundant measuer and now we see Hitler preparing to fulifll the others. The core of the Hitler to these analysts, was the capture of the oil fields of Rumania and the grain fields of the Ukraine. -They said Hitler made it clear that he would move toward the east and that he would begin by the absorption of Austria. They even described in some detail the means he would use. And he did precisely that.

Discussing plans for the Goodfellow's campaign, Mr. Atkins pointed out that the month of December was an appropriate month to make tests as to generosity and human kindness among the more fortunate people of this area. "Before this campaign is over those who are capable of happiness are found out.

They are the ones who by Christinas time have gone out of their way to see some one else made happy. "The more a person is able to make others happy the greater that warm glow of contentment and delight that swells in his own chest. Thus the month of December tesis them before turning them over to a New Year," Mr. Atkins said. Last year, the Goodfellow movement in Hope was sponsored by the American Legion post with the aid of the Hope Ministerial Alliance in which committees raised approximately $250 through solicitation-of various business houses and industrial plants.

They pointed out that he would make the Sudeten question r( the exocuse for internal agitation in Czechoslovakia. They concluded that ho would go into Czechoslovakia in order to get the great industral resouce? of Bohemia and would use the "suppression" of the German minorities as an excuse.

And they insisted he would act with swiftness before England and France were ready to offer effective resistance. They fell that Hitler would take all off Czechoslovakia. But they underestimated the ease with which he rode and which enabled him' to content himself with the Sudeten areas and complete domination of the rest without sovereign ownership. This done, the way was open to the Ukraine through either Poland or Rumania. And it is the Ukraine toward which he is driving.

When Hitler promised Chamberlain that he would seek no more territory in Europe, many supposed that this would end his drive. They did not remember the predictions referred to. Propaganda Penetration These were that Hitler would attempt propaganda penetration of both Rumania and the Ukraine, setting, up minority bogies, producing confusion and agitation and even violence in the Ukraine and Rumania. He would gamble on arousing a nationalist spirit in the Ukraine and setting the people there off upon a revolt against Russia. Germany could then support the struggle of the Ukrainians to "free."

France's Conviction of Nazi Diplomats Slayer Uncertain France Noted for Tolerance Toward Political Crimes Grynszpan, Young Polish Jew, Held for Murder of vom Rath DEMAND HIS HEAD But French Jury May Recall Some Nazi Assassinations, Too By MILTON BRONNEB NEA Service Staff Correspondent PARIS, chances are good that the French government fears Herschel Grynszpan's future trial for the murder of Ernst vom Rath, Gorman diplomat, more than the 17- year-old Polish Jewish defendant himself. The fact that vom Rath was attached to the German Embassy in Paris, that the murder took place in the embassy and that the Nazi regime is demanding Grynszpan's head creates a delicate and dangerous situation.

Even so there is no assurance that a French jury would meekly obey. The French are a highly political people.

French juries are apt to look upon some assassinations as political deeds and to acquit the accused. Two famous cases have not yet been forgotten. Jean Jaures, noted orator and leader of the French Socialist party was one of those who, in the stormy days of June and July, 1914, tried to prevent war. But at the same time he said: "If our country is menaced, we will be the first at the frontier to defend her. Those patriotic words were forgot ten.
