Hitler May A ttempt To Become Legend Like Frederick 1 In Germanic Minds By LOUTS LOCHNER BARIS, April 29.— W—Hitler’s 4eom ha* become so apparent to •very American soldier that the •tock question today to anybody who ever saw, heard or talked to Per Fuehrer is: “Just how do you think Hitler will end?” or “do you think the Allies ever will take him •live?” It would be thoroughly in keeping with the German mentality for th' German chieftain to disappear in a manner calculated to make him a legend. He possibly could become in this way the modern equivalent of Frederick I, who was known generations later as “Bar barossa” or red-beard. The Legend of Barbarossa grew to such an extent that poets hailed him in song and the Kyffhaeuser Bund, one of Germany’s most po tent militaristic organizations, was formed in his memory. This was a federation of all former German servicemen’s clubs and vereins. When, through the aggressive ness of the Iron Chancellor Bis marck the dream of unity came true, a gigantic monument was erected to honor Wilhelm I, new I Germany's first emperor, on Kyff haeuser mountain, which. is the very heart of the Barbarossa le gend. Frederick I, first outstanding scion of the Hohenstaufen dynasty, lived in the second half of the 12th century. He defied the Lombard cities and the Pope and smote the power of Richard the Lion-Hearted. During the Third Crusade to the Holy Land ■ in 1190, Frederick was drowned in a river in Asia Minor. But it suited the Teutonic thirst for hero-lore to think of him as having disappeared, and' the le gend was born. This legend had it that Barba rossa went to sleep inside the Kyffhaeuser mountains, and that his flowing red beard grew through the table at which he was seated. His sleep was to continue until German unity was achieved. Although Hitler’s clipped mus tache hardly lends itself to a re petition of the Barbarossa legend, some other myth might spring up about him. In any event a disap pearance might keep him from losing face with his followers. There might rise such a legend as that of the Flying Dutchman, doomed to sail the seven seas for ever, or of the Wandering Jew, Ahasveros, moving homeless until the day of judgement. Hitler might disguise himself or change his appearance. Neverthe less he might feel impelled con stantly to be on the move—a mod em Ahasveros—for fear of de tection. There is another way in which he could create a 'legend in the Ger manic mind. Hitler has always had a penchant for “correcting history.” He has pilloried Kaiser Wilhelm for not making a final suicide charge. He might want to correct history by doing what Wilhelm failed to do. A lover of the dramatic, he might attempt to become a hero by lead ing his deaths’ head elite guard formations in the final suicide plunge into battle. On the other hand numerous one-time followers of Hitler said he had proved yellow on many critical occasions. The Fuehrer’s personal courage is a moot matter inside Germany. There remains another way out for Hitler. Someone might kill the idol of Nazidom. Carolina Farm Comment By F. H. JETER By F. H. JETER There are many who have made dire predictions in times past that man’s one great fight for final possession of the earth will not be with Japs or Nazis or their successors in the same ideology, but with those strange, voracious creatures known as insects. Ask any farmer about his troubles with insects and he will tell you that the pests are increasing. I don’t know how many insects birds de stroy but if they can be of any help at all, we had best become bird lovers and try to aid the birds in their program of bug de struction. It seems that the trou ble is becoming ' increasingly great year by year. Just the other day a farmer came in bearing some samples of insect damage and telling how the army worm had invaded his best oats and were destroying the crop completely. Hardly had he left before another called over the phone to report the same kind of trouble. Then, everyone knows what has been happening to wheat which was planted early last fall. Not only has the Hessian fly almost destroyed it, but this wheat became the focus of an in festation which has spread to the later-planted grain and this too is being consumed. I never saw a Hessian fly until this spring. I had heard how they injure the wheat crops of the mid west unless the crop is planted after a certain date in the fall which is called the fly-free date. However, J. Myron Maxwell, a very realistic insect man, attach ed to the Agricultural Extension Service as extension entomologist, brought in some samples of nice looking wheat the other day. “Wheat like this should make a good crop, shouldn’t it?” he ask ed in a guileless sort of way. Be ing a wheat grower in my own right. I agreed with him and then he had his fun. He began to strip back the sheaves or leaves of wheat about the upsurging young stalk and, under every leaf, he showed me one or two of the larvae or pupae of the Hessian fly. He said that the fly would so in jure-the stalk that it would never make a full head of wheat. Many livestock and poultry farmers planted wheat in their mixtures for cereal hays last fall and they planted the mixtures early so as to have some grazing last fall as well as later grazing during the winter and spring. The Hessian fly has attacked this wheat so severely that one county agent reported the other day that the grain in his county was showing unmistakable signs to potash hun ger. Potash hunger, by the way, Is indicated by the stalks of grain falling over before maturity and harvest. But there are chinch bugs in the grain also and just as soon as the early corn comes along, these hugs will crawl from the grain fields to. the corn fields and feast on this crop to such an extent that no corn is produced where they go along.-They can be stopped by erecting a small barrier strip of a white powder known as di nitro dust. In eastern Carolina, the insect problem is getting serious. Not only do bugs infest the grain but they also are on tobacco from the time it is in the plant beds until it is ready for setting in the field. There are other insects which de stroy soybeans and the summer hav crops in the fall and there is the ever-present cotton boll weevil. The boll weevil did little damage in 1944 but let there be a rainy season in summer and he will take one-half of the crop. There are worms, potato beetles, flea beetles, corn borers, and a host of other insects now affecting North Carolina crops. Unless the farmer is willing to spend some time and money fighting the pests with insecticides or other ^ pre ventatives, he risks losing ms en tire crop. North Carolina ranks high in the value of its cash crops. In 1943, for instance, this value reached the total of about $500, 000,000. Mr. Maxwell says that tne loss from insects each year reach es the staggering total of forty mil lion dollars a year arerage. Our people used over $1,500,000 worth of insect control material in 1943 and this use saved crops valued at about $100,000,000. One of the great reasons why more of our crops and fruits are not saved from insects damage is that many farmers do not take the trouble to find out about the pests and the methods of . controlling them until great damage has been done. There are over 100 import ant crop pests in the state now and the dealers who sell insecti cides need to inform themselves about these pests so that they can advise the farmer when he comes to buy the dust or sprays. Scvne farmers say they will hear one method of control given over the radio, or he will read about an other in his local newspaper, and then his local insecticide dealer will give him a third remedy. Mr. Maxwell believes that it is time that the growers begin to take all such matters to their coun ty farm agents and' there get the latest information from official sources. Oftentimes, unofficial recommendations are made for an entirely different insect or for a different section of the country and are not applicable here. There is one insect, however, which should be encouraged. North Carolina is adapted to bee-keep ing and every farm should keep a few colonies especially now that we plan to grow more fruits and berries about our homes. There were 165,000 colonies of bees in the state in 1943 and from these the owners harvested 3,300,000 pounds of honey and 73.000 pounds of wax. The value of this was well over $800,00|). This can easily be doubled because the state has many ditffeymt honey-producing plants and if the bees would be properly kept in modern hives, they would produce more honey at a greater profit. -v Christian Church Lesson Is ‘Probation After Death’ “Probation After beath” was the subject of the lesson-sermon in all Christian Science churches and Societies yesterday. The Golden Text was from Psalms 138: 8. “The Lord will per fect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever.” Among the citations which com prised the Lesson-Sermon were the following from the Bible: “The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in .the congregation of the dead. He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness and honor” (Proverbs 21: 16,21). The Lesson-Sermon also includ ed the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy: "When understanding changes the standpoints qf life and and intelligence from a material changes the standpoint sof life and intelligence from a material to a spiritual basis, we shall gain the reality of life, the control of Soul over sense, and we shall perceive Christianity, or Truth, in its di vine Principle. Earth’s prepara tory school must be improved to the utmost” (Pages 322, 486) _v_ Churchill Congratulates Field Marshal Alexander LONDON, April 29 —UP)— Prime Minister Winston Churchill today congratulated Field Marshal Sir Harold Aleander on the “magnifi ciently planned and executed op erations of the 15th group of Ar mies which are resulting' in the complete destruction or capture of all enemy forces south of the Alps.” “That you and General Mark Clark are able to accomplish these tremendous and decisive results against a superior .number of ene my divisions after you have made great sacrifices of whole armies for the Western Front is indeed another proof of your genius for war and of the intimate brother hood in arms between the British commonwealth and imperial forces and those of the United States,” the Prime Minister said. ^-V President Andrew Jackson, on June 15, 1836, signed the Act of Congress which admitted Arkan sas to' the Union. OVER 2,000 ROBOT BOMBS DESTROYED PARIS, April 29.— —Allied anti-aircraft gunners destroyed more than 2,000 V-l bombs hurled at Antwerp by the Germans in a desperate attempt to knock out the port during 154 days from last October to March, it was revealed today. A total of 2,183 buzz-bombs were shot down and only 211 landed in me port target area. The 22,000 American, British and Polish anti aircraft gunners prevented the loss of a single working day at the port, which supplied the Western Front. American Brig. Gen, Clare H. Armstrong commanded the troops and the operation was supervised by Maj, Gen. W. R. Revell-Smith of the 21st Army Group, one of the world’s outstanding artillerists. His chief of staff, Brig. Gen. E. S. Lindsy, told press conference that the buzzbomb reached its peak in mid-February when 160 bombs were hurled afe Antwerp in a 24-hour period. "We made full use of the ex periences in the defense of Lon don.’’ he said. The city’s defenses comprised 400 heavy guns, 150 light guns and 100 searchlights but lacked fighter planes and barrage bal loons, Lindsay said. _ir_ Fake Postage Stamp Colleitftion Purchased LISBON, April 29—UP)—.A Portu guese postage stamp collector has purchased in Spain a collection of 20 German-printed postage stamps lampooning the British and Rus sians and bearing faked London postmarks, which the Nazis used for propaganda and revenue rais ing purposes. Some of the stamps, caricaturing British royal wedding commemo rative issues, show King George and Premier Stalin as wedding at Teheran. Others show the British rose, Russian sickle and hammer, and the British crown topped by the Russian star instead of the correct British world and cross design. -V- .
