Fantasia Rules the Waves

If there were one man in the world who got his news exclusively by radio, that man would have known the world was crazy last week. The air waves sputtered with fantastic stories and propaganda.

> London bombarded the Continent with exhortations to the people to hold up two fingers like schoolboys, like schoolboys to write in chalk on German officers' backs (see above).

> Moscow reported: 1) Italians Achille Starace and Ettore Muti had formed a cabal to replace Benito Mussolini with Crown Prince Umberto, then sue for peace; 2) a monarchist had fired two shots at Mussolini; 3) Adolf Hitler had had an epileptic fit.

> Berlin announced that Hungarian Communist Bela Kun had been taken prisoner by counter-revolutionary Ukrainians. (Last previous report on Bela Kun was that he had been purged in Russia in 1939.) Another from Berlin: Reichstag Fire-famed Georgi Dimitroff would soon be named special Soviet emissary to the U.S.

> Rome said that Russia was about to add a deaf-mute regiment to the Army. Reason: to prevent telling the enemy secrets.
