SAN FRANCISCO, May § Breakfas® may be a banana plucked from a tree and luncheon a fish caught in the surf, but dinner—as in the case of many other Ameri- can honeymooners —is going to ccme out of a tin can Such was the admission of two young couples who have sailed for a lonely South Sea island to take up a permanent residence and “go native.” Their romantic plans were at a double wedding at Pontiac Michigan, February 28, and in mid- arch the four walked up the gang- of the S. 8.

Swiss Authorities Say “Out!” to Both Fascists and Nazis BERNE, May & The Ewiss Confederation, sandwiched between Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, is determined to smash the propagan- da machines of both brown shirts end black shirts, For years little Switzerland has een a battleground in a war of propaganda between exiled anti- nazis and anti-fascists against loy CGeerman and Italian units organized in many cantons. Recently the Swiss federal council decided to put an end 1 it Events leading up to the decision included the assasination of a nazi propaganda chief, the kidnaping of the anti-nazi writer, the arrest of three fascists for espionage and the oitempt of anti-fascists to float their propaganda into Italy on hydrogen »alloons ‘Enough’s 'Snuff’ “We've had enough,” wrote the Journal de Geneve after the slay- ing of Wilhelm Gustloff, head of 1he nazis in Switzerland. “We must exterminate foreign political organi- zations and end the propaganda PHONE 311 from Germany and Italy which jeo- pardizes our liberty.” The assassination of Gustloff by a Jewish student in Davos and Hit- making "R ler's subsequent speech Gustloff a reich hero drew Swiss ¢ tention to the thousands of Ge mans organized in Swiss nazi units. The federa: council acted quick- deported a number of nazi lead- ers, refused entry permits to oth: and ordered the nazis to close all central and district headquarters in the cantons, Berlin protested, but the Swiss were adamant Kidnaping Case Cited The only nazi we want in Switz- erland as the representative of the is her regularly accredited flared the Journal de To Nazi demands for an explana- tion, the Swiss pointed to the Ja- cob case. Berthald Jacob, an anti- nazi writer living in France, had been enticed to Basel and there was kidnaped by nazis who rushed him across the frontier into Germany For six months Jacob languished in a nazi prison while little Switz- erland became more and more an- gry. Protests to Berlin, accompa- nied by threats to drag the whole affair before the world court, eventu- ally brought Jacob back to Switz- erland uninjured Each Side Accuses Other Switzerland’s southern neighbor has also given the cantons trouble On a tip from anti-fascists, police raided a small Italian newspaper and jailed three fascist writers on charges of treason and espionage. They had been campaigning for the attachment of the canton of Tessin to Italy. A day later fascists turned the tables by telling police about the mysterious activities of three Italians in the mountains near Palerno, the southern tip of Switzerland. Police found the trio awaiting favorable winds to carry thousands of tiny hydrogen balloons into Italy with anti-fascist propaganda. B 3 NOTICE Applications for the City Council up to 5 pm, May 15.
