Nazi Propaganda Agencies Spent 750000 Yearly Here
New York June 17 UP Three German information agencies tied to the state department consulate closure were alleged to spend about 750000 annually to publicize the Nazi regime in the United States and Latin America. The German library of information, the railroads information office, and Transocean News Service faced deportation actions. The library of information alone reportedly mailed to 70000 Americans with its Facts in Review. Transocean tried to distribute propaganda via news releases to US and Latin American papers. Nine railroad office employees and three or four Transocean workers face departure. Leaders of the German consulate in New York and the library declined to say how many would leave.
