WISH some of the care-
less talk I hear could get to Hitler's ears. It would give him the shock of his life. He might believe it, and if he believed only half of it, it "might be amusing.
Frequently at my hour of the day I am the only male passenger in the bus to town, which is packed with women.

"He says we've got a sin- ply staggering new gun now. It doesn't shoot a shell or bul- let or anything like that. It's too wonderful I believe. It fires a vacuum, I think he said, or something like that. Anyway, I know nothing can · live in one, or Nature doesn't like it, whatever it is. I do re- member that. And Robert says that's just where we fox them. We fire the vacuum thing when there's a raid on, and up it goes, and they don't know it's coming because they can't see it, and nothing can live in it, and so the Nazi sim- ply fades out, my dear. Just like that. Terribly simple,

It was a nolay, chattering bar till this happened. But ut once the conversation fnded.
The suspense grew with every note of the song, the civilians kept on looking to see how the soldiers would re- act. And the soldiers, 'un- comfortable, kept on looking at one another.
Suddenly a voice called from one corner of the room. Its accent was an obvious burlesque of what you might call the Eton-and-Sandhurst accent.

Anyway, he has something to do with the Government, or has he?" Any- way, he was saying, this In- come Tax man, that's what he was, that we've got some sort of a ray that does away with gravity or something.
"Anyway, what this Foreign Office man, or whatever he is, said was that if they took. away gravity there'd absolute- ly be nothing at all to keep the German down, if you under- stand. He would actually go flying up and up to Heaven knows where, and as they don't bring much food with them they'd simply starve to fleath.
