FANTASTIC HITLER BOAST Had Dope On Allied Secret Councils
Invasion Was A "Theatre Play"
Frankfurt, Apr. 10. Adolf Hitler had direct channels into the secret war councils of the Allies, he told his own military high command in March 1944. This is revealed by stenographic minutes of his staff meetings released here by the United States Army.
Hitler's statement came in an outburst of anger
oyer reports that of a fleet of 400 bombers he sent to bomb London only 30 or 40 had been able to get through and that his intelligence could not get a satisfactory report of the dam- age done.
This iM impossible! he learn shunted angrily, "I can along must of the seret dis- rusions in the war councils of ur enemies, but I cannot even find at whether in London we destroyed three houses or 100 or 500 or 1,000 houses,"

Slashing Attack On Greece

Lake Success, N.Y. Apr. 10. Calling the Greek · Government “irresponsible,

Why should this be so after two years of British military and economic aid? Sürely, it shows that there is something fundamentally wrong in Greece.
