...diplomatic standpoint, some of the Administration's best friends are certain to be heard. Raymond Moley was this week publishing in Today a series of articles entitled "Hitlerism Invades America.'' According to Today, Nazi groups have been formed in Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Manhattan; they have upwards of 6.000 members; they hold meetings, collect dues, wear Nazi uniforms and sometimes drill in turnhallen; members of the League of Friends of the New Germany pledge: "I do not belong to any secret organization of any kind [Freemasons, etc.]. I am of Aryan descent, free...

Lester Rollo Stoefen is 22. Born on a lonely Iowa farm, he thrived in Los Angeles, growing 6 in. in his 17th year, in. more in his 18th. He started tennis at 16; later than most good players. After teaching himself on the public courts, he beat John Doeg (1930 champion) in a match in 1930 without the semblance of a backhand.
