Operating Surreptitiously
Stuttgart, Nov. 9. The man who once declared that "National Social- Ism cannot succeed as long as Adolf Hitler remains alive" is directing the re-birth of the German "Black Front" by mail from Bridge- town, Nova Scotia.
Otto Strasser, once more powerful in the Party than Adolf Hitler, broke with Hitler in 1930 on the Party's economic policies and formed the "Black Front" which is composed mainly of "dissatisfied Liberal elements of the Nazi
Party.'

The Bit will not prevent any Governor from serving after the age of 55 "if it is in the public interest that he should do so.””
It proposes to
