'Catch 'Em In The Cradle' Is Motto Of Nazis Correspondent Reveals Youth Training Important In Promulgation Of Plan By LYLE WILSON Copyright, 1941, United Press Director Helmut Stein of the Humboldt-Deutz Diesel works in Cologne takes pride in two things: 1.

Wilson Deutz nursery mothers check their children during an eight or ten-hour working day was equipped foi the care and feeding of youngsters. We came to it just lunch and tip-toed into a glass enclosed room where 40 to 50 potential little storm troopers and prospective mothers of the new order were having their afternoon nap. "Shhhh" shushed the matron, but the door squeaked behind her and the children were suddenly awake. Dozens of hands and arms waved in their kindergarten version of the Nazi salute. Then came a treble: "Heil Hitler!" World Germany's Apple The babies ranged in age from a year or so to about five years and already the older ones had been conditioned, three seconds out of sound sleep, to sound the party battle cry.

A little farther along in their lives they are headed for the Hitler youth movement proper with its uniforms, its communal' play and work and its indoctrination with the idea that the world is Germany's apple, Just about peeled lor the eating. Not even in the ninth year of Nazism has the division of youthful attention and endeavor been satisfactorily adjusted among family, school and Hitler youth responsibilities. But the party is making progress. In' mid-February the Voelkischer Beobachter, Chancellor Hitler's own newspaper, announced that Hitler youth lenders and the ministry of education had reached agreement on a schedule to "unify" the education of the German youth. The schedule proposed division of the school day into a morning period by school-work proper and the afternoon solely for Hitler youth marches, demonstrations and training.

Eliminates Imposition The Voelkicher Beobachter explained that this arrangement would eliminate the imposition of "too many claims or? the time of the children." Therefore Hitler youth activities had taken place after the afternoon1 school session or, in some instances, had conflicted with the fixed schedule of study. The Nazi party can deal with juvenile rebellion, too. In Brussels this winter there appeared a rash of chalked inscriptions on wails, billboards, and sidewalks througtout the city. In the copybook print typical of children the letters "R.A.F." stared at the occupying forces wherever they miffht look.
