THE LINCOLN A A FEBRUARY 2 4, 1942 THREE Nazi Pressure In Rumania Was Thing 0( Horror Handler Says The gradual, almost impercipi- ble pressure that for a year and a half preceeded the Nazi advance into Rumania is the most insidious and horrible weapon in the German war machine. Miss Leona Handler, who had been living in the Balkins since the fall of 1939, said in an address at the Lincoln Unitarian church service Sunday morning. Miss Handler, who is the director of the Unitarian church at Lawrence, Kas, was the European representative of the Unitarian ministerial association at the time of the invasion of the Balkan was in Europe to study the problems of the people who were Ir. the minority in their social and religious Miss Handler stated. No matter what stand these minority groups took on any current issue.

Miss Handler continued, they were tossed back and forth between their own government and the Nazi advance agents, bullied, persecuted, taxed and imprisoned without mercy or justice. Hated Carol Rumanians hated King Carol. It was rumored that even his son, Prince Mitchael vastly preferred to have nothing to do with his father. Red-headed Magda was hissed and booed as she drove the streets of the cities if there were no officers in Miss Handler asserted. The people particularly resented GRACIE ALLEN "Take my Swan suds twice as nker" old-style floaties 8 ways, you betcha.

Overjoyed, the men and women, who in many instances did not know why they had been thrown in the concentration camp, were allowed to write their friends and relatives the date of their release and to come meet them at the gates of the the appointed day the prisoners friends and relatives waited expectantly outside of the gates of the Miss Handler continued, the gates were thrown open and with shouts and cheers the prisoners began to pour out.

Suddenly a machine gun was trained on them as they ran to greet their associates. Every prisoner was killed in his tracks as he ran forward, unsuspecting and laughing. The bodies of the people were left lying as they had fallen. Over them a huge sign was hung could happen to you as it has happened to Under the pressure of such horrifying incidents people lose all sense of unity, all belief in country and fellow mankind and are left with only tense suspicion and futile hatred, Miss Handler concluded. Behind machinations of this type lies the secret of the amazing successes of the Nazi troops.

Monday afternoon Miss Handler spoke before a group of Lincoln women on her European observations at a tea in her honor at the home of Mrs. Arthur Buckner. Lethargy Toward War Rapped By Grainger at Labor's Bond Rally Members of organized labor groups a lot of plain Tuesday at the Truckers hall, where H. K. Grainger, president of the chamber of commerce was the speaker at a mass meeting.

Radio addresses by William Green, president of the A. F. and Henry Morgen- thau, secretary of the treasury also were heard. Grainger told the unions that are looking at the war too much as a secondary issue. They are thinking and worrying altogether too much about getting tires and sugar, and not enough about how to win the me tell Grainger declared, we can lose this war unless there is a change in our thinking.

It is up to the American public to get busy and turn their thoughts into other channels than present Charles Simon, a member of the bricklayers union presided. The meeting was to rally Lincoln labor behind the A. F. L. program to get its members to buy a billion dollars worth of defense bonds.

Just a little game among people who were anything but friends! Her thoughts still anxiously pursuing nim, she unfastened the square white box, folded back the green tissue. Camellias! Lovely waxy pink blossoms pressed flat against their own polished green leaves. How exquisite! Her attention caught back, she opened the envelope, read card. Perfection they call these posies. Which fits the Perfection and so in the Pink.

Fingers stumbling, she pinned the lovely flowers against the soft grey fur of her cape, and help loving the effect. He had nice taste, that smarty Tom Stafford, even if he grown up yet. Of course, she added fairly, not many boys educated in American colleges had the cultured charm Harvey Goodwin had acquired.

It really fair to compare them. Perfect manners, dignity, charm simply collegiate. Personally, Sharon smiled into the mirror again, take the charming manners. Promptly at eight, the buzzer rang. Tom, of course.

She pressed the door latch. Simultaneously, the phone rang. Doyle A strange voice demanded. Is there any this sister. Who shall I say The strange voice answer her.

But the strange Mr. Gates had hung up. Alarmed. Sharon replaced the receiver, stood staring at it help lessly. Who was Mr.

Gates and what could he want of demand of him, rather, in that rough, threatening manner? A man like that his voice his bullying Dennis Tom was tapping a Morse code on the door. Sharon still hesitated. Still, there was nothing she could do now. With Tom waiting, and besides she had no idea where Dennis had gone, when be back. She snatched up a pencil, scrawled the message.

leave it by the phone where Dennis would see it when he came in. If only she could think of someone, some way to send help. Because, some intuition told her, Dennis was in trouble and he would need help and need it desperately. The Music Was Sweet The music was sweet, the lights were soft, and Tom was smiling at her across the table for two just on the fringe of the crowded dance floor. It had been perfect, the whole evening.

It had been, too. Tom was so genial a host, so quick to laugh, his company was comfortable as an old slipper.

She learned anything about Tom save his preference in music and cocktails and steaks. let the whole evening fill up with silly banter and smooth dancing.

And while of that was a good way to lay the ground wark for some future reconnoitering, still she had let a lot of time escape. She looked across the table at the profile Tom turned toward her as he sat, relaxed, smoking, watching the dancing couples. That man, she reminded herself, was a dangerous agent of a dangerous enemy. His job was to betray, to destroy, to defile. Mr.

Goodwin knew that. And here she sat actually enjoyng him as if he were an old friend. No doubt that was exactly as Mr. Tom Stafford had intended it should be. too.

She drew a long breath. How easily, how nearly come to letting herself be fooled too by that deceivingly countenance Tom wore so convincingly. Tom heard the sigh, turned to her instanly. then she remem- CROCHET COLORFUL RUG Miss Her voice was deep, musical. has spoken of.
