PHONE 616 | the latest book on the British blitzkrieg, by Harvey Klemmer, economist and diplomat, who was | for three years an attache of the United States Embassy in Lon- don, Kilemmer’s book, published by Wilfred Funk, New York, was written at white heat and with- out benefit of censor on his re- cent return here from his London post. Many Germans believe, Klem- mer states, that part of England is already in the hands of the Nazis. Several pilots, either forced down or shot down, have de- manded to be taken to the near- est German officials in occupied territory. One lad, told that the nearest Nazl official was on the other side of the channel, re- plied: “They are at Reading. It is useless to lie to me. I know all about it.,” Other airmen, he continued, seem to have the impressioh that Scotland and Ireland have been occupied and that the British fleet has been sunk. Free of the restraint of official connection “with the Embassy, Klemmer wrote his book in Wash- ington as he saw s in Lon- don and in E: e censor- ship'in Germany i$infinitely more’ strict than in Izp;lmd. and one of the gems of news Klemmer reveals is in the following story. “A captured German pilot was taken in for questioning by in- telligence officers. He was bitter and defiant, and boasted of hav- ing bombed London thirty times. “‘1 wish I could do it thirty times more,” he said. ‘This isn’t anything compared with what you have done to Hamburg."” That is one of the few indica- tions coming out of Germany as to the extent of damage done by the RAF in bombing fights. England has published its dam- age with the blessing of the cen- sor, but German censors have re- leased only meager information and few pictures showing bomb damage in the Fatherland. Klemmer tells the story of a young pilot, brought down at Folkestone, who had been ma- chine-gunning women and chil- dren on the sea front. It turned out that the youth was an old Cambridge student, and spoke perfect English. “What kind of a soldier are you,” a British officer asked him, “machine - gunning women and children?” “I've as bad an opinion of that as you have,” answered the Ger- man boy. “I don't like this kind of warfare any more than any- body else, but I'm just a pilot. When I am told to eome down to twenty meters I-come to twenty meters. I don’t know my naviga- tor or my rear gunner. The chances are there is a Geéstapo ‘man in the plane, Therefore, I obey orders.” B | of the utilities in England is a | direct answer to the question | whether the blitzkrieg is under- mining Britain’s ability to defend |, herself. ! “Note ' these facts,” he says. “(1) you can still mail a letter in London in the afternoon and have it delivered the next morn- ing. (2) you can send telegrams. | (3) you can telephone to other , cities. (4) you can go anywhere | in the country by rail, bus or automobile. (5) you ~an e~ .a- ter, gas and electricity “* usual. The service isn't as | ..fect as it used to be, but you can take it from me that the utilitics are still functioning in Britain.” Klemmer is convinced that Hit- ler must try an invasion or face ultimate defeat by an invading force of Britons. And he is equally convinced that the Nazis will eventually fail. He ends his book with this statement: “The British may be slaugh- tered; their air force may be wiped out; their cities may be destroyed; their army may be driven into the sea; they will carry on. They will fight, if need be, around the world and back again. That sun which never set on an empire at peace will never set on an empire at war THEY’LL NEVER QUIT!” When Klemmer, an American born in Michigan, wrote his book, he wrote it without the thought of going back to England.

P. JOHNSON _JUN Pianisis Are Quick 0!1_ Humor By GZORGE TUCKER NEW YORK, April 8—Some con-| versationalists are raconteurs and others are coon-shouters, and this applies to pianists as well. Mr. Cwight Fiske, to peg the classifi- cation to a personality, is by repmu- tation the most gifted of New, York’s story-telling pianists, and Mr, Johnny Payne is to the small, intimate cafe piano what Sophie| Tucker is to the Red Hot Mamas of vaudeville. He is a coon-shouter pure and simple. In between come a pair of en-| tertainers—Bob Lee and Hal Yates —who are distinctive because of their poetry (very free) and their refusal to indulge in between-the- lines smut. All have followings and all are doing well. Bob Lee, in case you are at the ‘Wevil restaurant any time soon, is the man at the piano. He is noted for his extemporaneous verse. You name it—he rhymes it. If you are having a steakl and yell “Bus, Strike,” he rhymes a verse for you at the piano about the bus strike in New York, on the spot. He has rhymed more than 10- 000 verses for those who take the trouble to recommend subjects. | Payne, a husky-throated key- board banger, is at the Elysee; Monkey bar and is altogether a barrel house pianist. His piano, an anclent upright, is on rockers, and| as he bangs it rocks to and fro. He has. a mirror suspended above | s head which enables him to| see and razz his audiences. Be-; tween numbers it is his habit to| toss brandy glasses in a crashing cresendo against the wall. They always hreak. It is Hal Yates, at the Lombardi Bar, who says you do not have to deal in dirt to get by—a rule that at least one noted Broadway producer, John Golden, has fol- lowed successfully for two dec-| ades. There was a time when pres-| sure was put on Yates to form an orchestra under his own name, but he declined, saying too many! good musicians wound up as poor} band leaders. His piano playing is what he likes, and it feeds him/ J, ALASKA completely over, the hor(lcrlinc.j The Fiske fables usually have io do with the love life of penguins and swans, old stuff that he has used successfully for years. | Billy Rose, going nostalgic gnm| (for the early movies this time) | has fashioned an elaborate review | around the old thrillers and heavy| emoting films of 35 years ago. Hls! gals form tableaus of scenes from the dim, departed silents, and then you see the films themselves. Bet you a dime you don't know what your state flag looks like. We were looking at a color chart of the 48 state flags and were sur- prised to find that only Ohio, the Buckeye state has a pennant, or forked-shaped flag. The other 47 have rectangular flags.
