NAZIS LAUNCH SPY SCARE CAMPAIGN

A

SPECIAL campaign. designed to draw attention to the growth of espionage in Germany has been launch- ed by Dr. Goebbels, Hitler's Minister of Propaganda..

Large white posters bearing the one word "Espion- ago!" have made their appearance on the walls of Berlin and other cities.

Request by Mayor La Guardia of New Yorit has been sent to District Attorney Dewey that criminal prosecution be talten against Fritz Kuhn, aboye, lender of the German-American Bund. and his associates. Mayor charges relief tax law evasion. Action may tend to destruction of Bund, ofelats believe.

Risked Life Did Not Tell

Other notices show a German soldier, his fingers to his lips in warning, standing before a back- ground of guns and aeroplanes.

The notice bears the words,"* "Spies, Traitors, Saboteurs."

FILM WARNINGS Magazines and newspapers are full of spy stories and each week, under the title of The War in the Shadows," the German radio broad- rasts a playlet emphasising the don- gers of honest German citizens fall- ing into the power of malevolent foreigners.

Recently, too, a series of short films dealing with the spy problem has been shown in the cinemas.

Another Bim is a warning to wo- men nol to gossip about their hus- hands' work.

The most effective warning, how- ever, is considered to be the publlen- tion of announcements of the execu tion of traltors. Hardly A week passes without these red-coloured posters appearing in the streels, und Similar announcements in the news- papera,
