Snow on the Sahara Desert and Nazis at the City College of New York, with as 85 percent student body.
Friedrich Karl Scheibe, Hitlerite disciple and student at C. C. N. Y. has ceased his Nazi propaganda activiteis.
Since a recent conference with Frederick B. Robinson, president of the college, Scheibe’s Nazi propaganda leaflets have disappeared from the City College campus like the lately reported snowfall on the Sahara.
Scheibe, flaunting his rugged individualism with an uninterrupted defense of Hitler policies, had been one of the most ardent champions of National Socialism until a few days ago, when he was advised to cease firing swastika-adorned brochures at his unreceptive classmates. Under protest from the Menorah Society, Scheibe was advised to find more fertile fields in which to sow his seeds of Hitlerism.
“You are irritating the students and aggravating a most unpleasant situation,” he was told in effect.
Scheibe recently spoke before an Open Forum Committee symposium on war in the school auditorium. He announced that a fellow classmate had threatened him with “assassination” for his action; but he went through with the argument.
His daring speech neither cost him his life nor perceptibly converted C. C. N. Y. to the credo of National Sociatlism.
