...this gossip the Berlin radio retorted specifically, invited skeptics to telephone Willy Messerschmitt at his Augsburg home. One reporter who did so was Beach Conger, correspondent for the New York Herald Tribune, whom the Nazis squeezed out of Berlin last fortnight because he would not retract a dispatch picturing Adolf Hitler and his High Command at odds about invading The Netherlands. Mr. Conger and a British reporter named Geoffrey Cox telephoned Willy Messerschmitt from Amsterdam. The man who answered insisted he was the famed planemaker. "I haven't been out of Germany since the war started," he said...
...Like Frontier Guards." Berlin papers have for some time called the Polish Government "a farce." Last week the Moscow press picked up a New York Herald Tribune story saying that at Angers "one of the smallest States in the world-probably smaller than any except the State of Vatican City-is being established on an estate one mile long and half a mile wide in the Valley of the Loire."

When Joseph Barnes gave up his job in Berlin and went home for a rest (weary of constant Nazi threats to muzzle him), Herald Tribune editors debated long over Beach Conger's youth and inexperience, finally gave him Barnes's place. Blond, meticulous, with close-cropped hair and thick-lensed spectacles, Conger looks like a respectable German official. Within two hours after his arrival in Berlin he had telephoned more people than Joseph Barnes knew. Most of them were young Nazis who had once been his schoolmates...
