These and other details of the New Order's Plünderpraxis (sack technique) were corroborated last week in Manhattan by Constantine George Cotzias, 49, Minister-Governor (Mayor) of Athens until the city fell last April. If Mayor Cotzias were in U.S. politics he would inevitably be known as Big Con, for he is 6 ft. 4 in. tall and when he steps on the scales they whimper out 286 lb. He has blazing brown eyes and a magnificent head. With him are his wife, who headed the hospitals of Athens during the gallant six-month struggle, and three...
When Hermann Göring, who loves nice things and is a great hand at Plünderpraxis, visited Athens in 1935, Mayor Cotzias showed him the town.

Hirsch's family lives in Czechoslovakia, but U. S. diplomats in Berlin had taken him under their wing because his grandfather was a naturalized U. S. citizen. U. S. newspapers whooped for his life, but Hirsch, throughout his imprisonment, admitted he was guilty. He did not deny...
...death-cell last week in Plötzensee Penitentiary in Berlin sat pale-faced, intellectual Helmuth Hirsch, the 21-year-old Jew who was arrested last December for plotting to kill with a bomb "a high German official" who newshawks quickly assumed was Dictator Hitler. Hirsch declared: "I expect no clemency and I am calm and await death with perfect composure." Less calm was Berlin's U. S. Consul Raymond H. Geist who had gone to great pains to intercede for Prisoner Hirsch on the grounds that, though his family lives in Czechoslovakia, he is a U. S. citizen...
