Postal Workers In Raids

Taking up the defence of post office workers aghinst the com- plaints of delay in the services and of the closing of post offices during the period of air raid warnings. Mr T. J. Hodgson, general secretary of the Union of Post Office Workers; saitl recently that the post office had been faced with a problem of understaffing as well as air raids. Many post office workers had been enlied to the Colours, and, it would not have been forgotten that on a recent occasion the King commented on the number of postmon now in the ranks,

Thousands of post office workers had been working 12 hours a day, Sundays included, for a long time. Apart from the exceptional cases in which men hand lost their homes en. tirely there were ethers who could

began. Post office workers were not afraid to do their duty, and their duty, but many more than places, like sorting offices, had glors roofs, with only wire netting protec tlon, and the work of increasing the protection took time. Telephonists, holding the vital communications of the country, could be fairly described ns in the front Une. They were do- ing splendid work. The telegraph service was snowed under, so well it might be.

Mr flodgson said, that the closing of the public counters on the receipt of raid warnings was a dopari- mental regulation. Post phica wor- kers had not asked for proferential treatment over the rest of the wor kers shouldering the burden in these daya.

Spy's Job

CHE is a very beautiful blonde, old enough to be sophisticated, young enough to be glamorous. She haunts the most expensive hotels in Bucharest, talks Rumanian with a light German accent, and sometimes whispers in quiet corners to bullet-headed Germans.

She looks like a Nazi agent, and acts like one. Her name is Edith von Ohler. And she makes no secret of the fact that she is a Nazi agent.

But Edith is different. She may glean valuable informa- tion as a spy. Far more im- portant is her job of "giving away" secrets. She does not make eyes at high-powered Rumanian officers. Edith pre- fers cosy little business chats, with editors of leading Ru- manian papers. She offers them articles: Secrets of the -Siegfried Line, How Germany

Edith von Obier calls herself a journalist, but she is in fact one of the tenders in Dr Goebbels' pro- paganda drive into the Balkans.

Not only do the Nazis give away articles and photographs; they buy

whole newspapers to put over their propaganda. German news- papers are on sale at specially re- duced prices.

The Italians are not far behind. There was an Italian named Colvono who brought the corpse of his wife to Greece and asked per- mission to erect a church in her

memory.

The pious Greeks readily gave permission. Colvono bulit a magni- acent place, called it the Church of St Catherine, and worshipped at the tomb of his wife every day,
