In fact, Fox Film Corp. was contending that the man who in 1930 had lost control of that company had bought the Tri-Ergon patents abroad with $45,000 of Fox Film money and hence had no right to them.

As Der Führer ducked out to fly by night back to Berlin, massive Old Paul, slightly pale with fatigue, bade him pious Godspeed: "God guide you, Herr Reichskanzler!" Even before the thundering tri-motor reached Tempelhof Field its radio had spoken and in high Nazi circles the President's steadying hand was felt.
