HITLER RISES IN “WHO’S WHO”

“ JJITLER 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. United States Ambassador 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 Italian Premier Mussolini’s 32 lines, but exceeded French Premier 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.”
