HITLER’S RISE

TWENTY-NINE LIVES IN “WHO'S WHO.” “Hitler Adolf,” whose biography was condensed in five lines of the 1938 edition of the British Who’s Who, has been given 29 lines in the 1939 issue. His statue also was raised from “Chancellor of Germany” to “Head of the German State.” “Stalin Joseph,” remained on Herr Hitler’s former basis, five lines. . The United States Ambassador, Mr Joseph P. Kennedy, whose appointment to the Court of St. James’s brought him into prominence in England for the first time, made his debut in the new issue with 20 lines. Herr Hitler still was behind Mussolini’s 32 lines, but exceeded the French Premier M. Daladier, who made ' his first appearance with 16. Events since last August were not mentioned, so Dr. Eduard Benes still is listed as President of Czechoslovakia, although he resigned last September during the crisis which led up to annexation of the Sudetenland by Germany. No change was made in the listing of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. The Roosevelt lineage was increased by three to include the names of books published—-“ Lady of the White House,” by Mrs Roosevelt, and the President’s “Public Papers and Addresses by Franklin D. Roosevelt.”
