In_a barrage of English, French, Polish and German, the nations at war are bombarding each other and the world with all the big guns of propaganda: claims and counter- claims, lies, charges of atrocity, fan- tastic tales of the brutality and greed of enemy leaders. “The barbarous Poles are hacking out eves and tongues and chopping off fingers of German aviators who paiachute down from . crippled planes! . . . “The Germans bombed a little church, seriously wounding the priest who was saying mass! 3 “The English themse tor- pedoed the Athenia to gain sym- pathy, for themselves and hatred for the Germans! “Polish aviators bomb a plainly-marked Red Cross hospital!” That's just a sample of what you might, have plucked from the air had you listened to the powerful stations of England and Europe as the propaganda war got under way. 4 HOURS A DAY In the. eaxly days of the war Ni tional Broadcasting Company #n- gineers kept six short-wave receivers tuned constantly on Warsaw, Ber- lin, Paris and Dayentry, England Ban on Book E] Threalening Legal Action BABERSF’[ELD Cdl Sert, 19.— The American Ciyil Liberties Un- ion threatens legal action to pre- vent the leading novel, “The Grapes . of Wrath” from being baned from Kern county libraries.
