Nazi papers distort facts to
Hitler's death, no relief, says
BY STANLEY BREUER.
Very few are the people in
America today who have a chance
to closely observe Hitler and his
policies over a period of years
and are constantly informed from
personal observation of his moves
thru other than regular news
sources. Far fewer thp.i that, are
the people answering that descrip
tion who come to Nebraska.
But Robert H. Lochner, son
of the chief of the Berlin bureau
of the Associated Press, long a

Pastor exxplains two
opposing views of life
"The most miserable people are
those who have everything to live
with and nothing to live for," said
Dr. Edmund F. Miller, Lincoln
pastor, as he explained "Two
Ways of Looking at Life" at the
all-university vespers held last
night in the Union.
The droves of people who, over
burdened with luxuries and with
out a purpose in life, flock to the
psychiatrist's office to get their
shattered emotions patched up,
are living, according to Dr. Miller,
in "the deepest hell I know."
"Who gets your vote the man
who lives for what he can get or
the man who lives for what he
can give the man who can lose
himself in something greater than
himself? Which man has the best
viewpoint .of life, the man who
would soil his soul for gold in his
fingers, or Christ, whose morals
rang like a clear bell?"

No sympathy for distortion.
"On the other hand, some
small time American corre

fair to Hitler. The worst of these
have been sent back to America.
In instances where this happens,
even the other American corre
