Former Austrian Soldier Writes of Nazi Shortages
Reports from Europe today state that Pierre Laval may be ousted by Hitler unless he delivers 150,000 men for labor in Germany. The lack of Nazi labor stressed in Paul Hagen's new book, "Will Germany Crack?" is thus a vital problem.
Other important shortages in Germany today are coal, iron, fodder for cattle, food, and clothing. The great deficiency in coal and iron can be attributed $ ^{\circ} $
both to insufficient labor and a poor transportation system. The acquisition of European agricultural countries has not helped greatly the Germans do not have the machinery or men to produce food. Political Weapon is Best
Paul Hagen, who served in the Austrian army in the last war, knows conditions in Germany from various underground reports and is capable of unbiased appraisal of the German situation. He believes that the political weapon could be the strongest one for the United Nations. Labor in Germany is overworked and under-paid almost to the breaking point. Farm labor especially talks openly against the Nazi regime. There are many elements of unrest in Germany today, though not organized. Why would Germany need the concentration camps and constant executions if she were united?
New Order Fails?
Mr. Hagen points out the failure of Hitler's new order, in which the countries were to be harnessed into productivity for Germany. This has failed as has the harnessing of millions of workers; so Hitler has even resorted to foreign soldiers in his army and to compromise with countries if they would give over their military strength.

Heavy Enrollment A Small Staff
The physical education department of the University has the largest enrollment in its history this year, and also he smallest staff of the last few years.
Within the last year the department has lost eight instructors to the armed forces. One person has been found to supplement this loss.
"This loss would have placed a terrible burden upon the remaining instructors if the department had only the average enrollment, but since nearly all men students are in the department this year the situation is acute," Dr. Forrest C. Allen, department chairman, said today.
John Cress left the department over a year ago and is now a lieutenant in the Army Physical Training program at Camden, Ark.
The loss of instructors has been displaced by help from physical education majors and members of the varsity athletic teams to some extent.
