If anyone is out looking for trou-

IT SEEMS TO ME also that
those who- are going to misbe-

in their way.
On the other hand I believe
that if a parent insists on his son
or daughter being at home from
a date -or party by a certain
time, a boy or girl should respect
his parent's wishes. The police
can do no more than the parent.
Let me know what you think.
Drop me a line at 3300 Tyler

Axis Sally' to Call Hate and Bigotry

But there is no question of
what her return to her homeland
evoked in the minds of Ameri-
can troops who had heard her
during the war. Newspaper ac-
counts of her return had stimu-
lated their memories, turning
them back to statements such as
these:
"Listen, fellas," Mildred Gil-
lars used to cry, "this, is a
Jewish war, and good, honest-
to-God American blood is being
shed for it."

JEWS 'BOMB' VATICAN
OR, AFTER THE bombing of
Rome by American planes:
"Who else but the Jews would
try to bomb the Vatican? You
nice American boys shocked all
of Rome by this—when will you
learn the truth about the Jews
who pick the targets?"

She tried her best, or worst,
to sow the discord of bigotry
through the ranks of American
combat troops who comprised a
broader coalition of faiths,
creeds, and colors than history
had ever before recorded. And
because of this, she was un-
successful, during the war at
least.
But the story of the creed and
case of "Axis Sally", who par-
rotted the creeds of Nazism, is
not yet over.
Her poison did not end when
fighting did. A 48-year-old wo-
man is imprisoned in a local ,
jail, nut anti-Semitism still is
free as dirt.
Her indictment is scheduled
for this week. It is not just go-
ing. to be a wretched, creature •
who hates Jews that goes before
the grand jury and then to trial.
It will be the doctrine of
anti-Semitism, hate for all mi-
norities, hate for decency and
justice.
All the world will watch the
case of Mildred Gillars—for all
the world will be on trial with
"Axis Sally."
