...Douglas Street, Wichita), was smashed by Carrie Nation on one of her first rampages, Gerald Winrod was obscure until 1935 when, after a trip to Germany, he blossomed out as proprietor of the Capitol News & Feature Service of Washington, D. C., alleged by proletarians to be financed by German Nazi money and watched over by the German Embassy. Through The Defender (organ of Winrod's "Defenders of the Christian Faith"), which now claims 110,000 circulation, and his own big personal mailing list, Mr. Winrod does a fat mail-order business in religious tracts...
This week the Czechoslovak Government is due to disclose the text of the secretly drafted Nationalities Statute which represents its reply to the demands of Adolf Hitler and the Sudeten Germans.

Arrangements were soon made to have Strauss's forthcoming opus premiered at the opening of Munich's world-famed summer opera season. But last week, as the rehearsals were well under way, and the score of the opera was released to the public, war-loving Nazis...
...this particular time, an opera extolling peace by any other contemporary composer would probably have been quickly verboten by zealous Nazi censors. But Herr Doktor Richard Strauss is not only Germany's No. 1 composer. As one of the two most eminent composers in the world today (the other is Finland's Jean Sibelius), he is Naziland's No. 1 cultural exhibit. Even though he is a bad boy the Third Reich is loath to spank...
