Washinglon Merry- Go-Round (Continued trom Page One) under the Senator’s frank to lists of Nazi sympathizers all over the coun~ try. Bundles of 500 to 1,000 were made up, unaddressed, sent to Ger- man-American organizations in Chi- cago and New York. These organi- zations wrote the addresses on the franked envelopes and mailed them —free. NOTE: The free mailing privilege was given Congressmen as a free means of getting legitimate personal information to the public, not to be passed on for the use of others. These were the speeches writum' by a paid Nazi agent, registered with the State Department as receiving $1,000 monthly from Germany—Nazi speeches mailed postage-free, after being delivered on the floor of the most revered legislative body in the world. LORD LOTHIAN vs. LORD LOTHIAN One of the speeches written for Lundeen by Viereck was called “Lord Lothian vs. Lord Lothian.” This was printed in the Congressional Record of June 19, 1940. But three mouths later this same speech showed up in book form, this time written under the name of James Burr Hamilton. The name of the book is identical with the title of the Senators speech — “Lord Lothian vs. Lord Lothian.” And the contents of the book are almost identical. The speech, however, was that of a U. 8. Senator and the book was signed by James Burr Hamilton. Key to this mysterious identity is to be found in the registry of the State Department. The book “Lord Lothian vs. Lord Lothian” was pub- lished by Flanders Hall. partment records show Flanders Hall to be subsidized by George Syl- Burr Hamilton is the pen name of George Sylvester Viereck. Thus we have an agent of Ger- many ghost-writing a speech for a State De- | sent free through the mails, then turning around and having it issued in book form by a publishing com- pany registered as a German agent. This might not be important— since Senator Lundeen is dead and gone—were it not for the fact that his speeches and the book are still being broadcast over the country both by Nazi agents and by isola- tionists. Furthermore .the Flanders Hall publishing company has been active with. other Congressmen, namely Representative Day of Illinois and ex-Senator Holt of West Virginia, who agreed to write but has not yet written two books for them. NOTE: Interesting fact is that it is the isolationists who are drawn magnet-like to this Nazi-sponsored book house . FAKED NAZI TRANSLATIONS Among the isolationists playing ball with Flanders Hall is the famous Mrs. Elizabeth Dilling who calls Roosevelt a “Red” and who sent copies of the book FREE to her regular mailing list. Father Cough- lin also gave a big boost to “Lard Lothian vs. Lord Lothian” in his Social Justice, while the Germania | Book Shop and Westermann's of York pushed its sale. Another interesting feature of Flanders Hall is its other publica- | tions. Hapless Boers” supposed to be writ- ten' by a Dutchman, but actually translated from “England und die Buren” by Stephan Schroeder, a German. “Demecracy on the Nile” allegedly | by an Egyptian, Sayld Halassie, but' actually a translation of “Englanda' gewaltopolitlk am Nil” by Pnul[ Schmitz-Kairo. Both books were | published by the German Informa- | tion Bureau, a Nazi propaganda | agency And on the back of many of these books is an open letter addressed “Dear Fellow American,” which | among other things says: “Ours is‘ {a patriotic task for which we freely | vester Viereck.

Yet several Congressmen, either too careless of the distinction they hold of being duly elected repre- sentatives of the people, or else de- liberately cooperating with Nazi agents, have lent their endorsement to this publishing house. And other Congressmen, more zealous of personal pride than of guarding the reputation and prestige of their own distinguished body ap- proriated $5,000 to investigate news- papermen who expose one of their members. JIMMY ROOSEVELT'S STENOG There is a young ‘stenog in Wash- ington who will probably remember the incident all her life. Captain Jimmy Roosevelt, eldest son of the President, is doing some special work in Colonel William Donovan’s Office of Information. Requiring a stenographer for a rush Jjob, Jimmy sent word ‘to the “sten- ographic pool” to send him one. The young lady selected was from a small town, had been in Wash- ington only a few weeks and Jimmy was the first big-name figure she had seen close up. She seated her- self alongside his desk while he pored over a pile of papers. When Jimmy looked up to begin dictating, he was startled to find the girl shak- ing like a leaf. “What’s the matter?” he asked. Are you ill?” She wasn’t ill; it was metély a’'bad case of stage fright. ' Sitting along- side the tall; ‘débonair son of " the | President” of the United States was much. * “Youll have to excuse me, Mr. Roosevelt,” she blurted out. “I don’t think I can manage your dictation. I'll ask them to send another girl.” Blushing furicusly, she dashed out of the office.
