Crisis-Proof? From Belgrade, Yugoslavia, the Chicago Daily News's famed Balkan newspundit, M. W. Fodor, who operated in Vienna before the Anschluss, last week flashed: "German planned economics is in essence a form of socialist production and distribution. Up until the recent downfall of Czechoslovakia, the conventional capitalist system of production and distribution was never really seriously challenged outside of Russia. Completion of a successful tour of the Balkans by Dr. Walther Funk . . . signals not only the fact that Germany has finally won the World War, but also that she has delivered the most serious blow the capitalist...

I myself, as ex-president of the Oe. V. S. V., have been intrusted with the reorganization of the ex-Oe hams and have been named 'Landes Verbandsführer der Donaulande' that is to say: 'Leader of the association...
...through the Newport Invitation tournament in his first appearance in singles competition on U. S. courts this summer, the Australian Davis Cuppers (Quist & Bromwich) were at Longwood-proving their proficiency by taking all five matches from the German team of Henner Henkel & Georg von Metaxa (an Austrian acquired by anschluss to replace imprisoned Baron Gottfried von Cramm). After losing their third straight match, the German team received a cable from the German Tennis Federation "requesting" them to discontinue further competition in the U. S., return home ''to be saved from too much tennis" (meaning, presumably: Aryan humiliation...
