U. S. Closing Nazi Havens
Washington, Sept. 19—INS—The State Department is engaged today in the task of training the diplomatic blood hounds for the man hunt of Adolph Hitler and his gang.
By every device in the diplomatic manual, including threat of economic boycott, the department is putting pressure on all neutral countries which might become a haven for the fleeting Nazis.
As one official expressed it, "our purpose is to plug all the rat holes before the rats begin to run."
Specifically, the department is seeking pledges that the neutrals will refuse asylum to Hitler and his associates. The objects of this pressure are the four European neutrals, Sweden, Spain, Portugal and Switzerland, plus "Fascist" Argentina.
