A drastic course of action to ward off fascism in the United States, including deportation of all fascist-minded Reich citizens here, ban on private armies and wearing of uniforms by all extra-governmental organizations, and a policy of complete non-intercourse with Germany, Italy and Japan, is mapped by Lewis Mumford, noted critic and author, in “Men Must Act,” published here by Harcourt, Brace Co.

The same publishing firm tomorrow is issuing “Through Embassy Eyes,” in which Martha Dodd, daughter of the former United States Ambassador to Germany, relates her impressions of Nazism as gleaned during more than four years in the Reich. Miss Dodd gives intimate glimpses of many of the leading Nazi personalities, describes the background and development of such sensational events as the bloody June 30, 1934, purge and devotes considerable space to Nazi treatment of the Jews.
