- NEW YORK — (AP) — Mayor La Guardia, frequently denounced by the Nazi press since he suggested starring Hitler in a "chamber of horrors" exhibit at the New York World's Fair, won't ban a rally of the pro-Nazi German-American bund.
Requested by religious and patriotic organizations to stop the meeting, scheduled for Monday night in Madison Square Garden, La Guardia said if he banned the gathering then "he would be doing exactly as Hitler is doing in carrying out his abhorrent form of government." - History Unfolded Contributor
