Four Ex-Nazi Officials Convicted by War Tribunal

NUERNBERG, Dec. 4. (UP)—Four former officials of the Nazi ministry of justice were convicted of war crimes and crimes against humanity today by an American military tribunal. Judge James T. Brand, Salem, Ore., headed the tribunal which handed down the verdicts. Those convicted were Franz Schlegelberger, once acting minister of justice and state secretary; Herbert Klemm, state secretary and director of the legal education and training division; Curt Rothenberger, state secretary, and Ernst Leutz, public prosecutor in the Nazi people's court. Schlegelberger was found guilty of instituting and supporting procedures for the wholesale prosecution of Jews and Poles, and of "supporting the pretension of Hitler in his assumption of power to deal with life and death in disregard of even a pretense of judicial process ..."

Reds Ignore U. S. Plea To Repatriate 250 Wives

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. (UP) — The State Department disclosed today that Russia has ignored for more than six months a United States request that upwards of 250 wives of American citizens be permitted to leave the Soviet Union. The disclosure was made in the texts of notes exchanged by Russia and the United States over the question of repatriating a naturalized American of Armenian birth to Soviet Armenia. On April 21, the Russian embassy asked the State Department to facilitate the repatriation of Armenians in the United States who wanted to return home. Dean Acheson pointed out that Russia was granting no exit visas to 250 or more resident wives of American citizens. The U. S. note emphasized that the U. S. embassy in Moscow had been unable to get permission to interview these persons.

Drivers Strike, Cut Milk Supply in Birmingham

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Dec. 4. (UP)—More than 20,000 families and 35,000 school children went without milk today as employes of a second leading dairy here struck over wage demands. The employes' strike at two of the city's largest milk suppliers cut milk deliveries to hospitals, hotels, restaurants and grocery stores as well as to some 70 schools and thousands of homes. Some 100 routemen and plant workers failed to report at Southern Dairies this morning. The same number struck at Foremost Dairies yesterday.

Wave of Panic Buying In Russia Reported

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. (UP) — Reports reaching the State Department said today that a wave of panic buying was underway in Moscow and other Russian cities because of rumors that the government plans to boost prices and crack down on the country's inflated supply of currency. Some of the information was broadcast by the State Department's "Voice of America" yesterday in 23 languages—but not Russian. Supplemental reports to the U. S. government said bank accounts withdrawals already had been restricted to 200 rubles a day because many people were buying anything in sight in anticipation of the rumored crack down.

Parking Space Costs Driver $5 And Inflation Is Not to Blame

(Continued from Page One) not only a ticket but a disorderly conduct charge. Judge C. S. Robertson sent a 21-year-old Negro to city jail for 10 days and fined him $25 dollars and fined another Negro $25 in an effort to halt fighting in the Negro section. Sent to jail was Lonie Alexander of 3782 Charles Street and the fine was levied against Charlie Johnson, 54, of 228 Higgs Street. Both had pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and fighting. Fined for improper parking were 11th Street and Ross E. Romprey, 18, of 7664 NW 10th Avenue, both pleaded guilty to reckless driving by speeding and each paid $20 fines. William L. Sanders, 18, Negro, was found guilty of reckless driving by speeding and was given a choice of a $25 fine or 15 days in jail.

Rotary Moves To Aid Buyers

(Continued from Page One) far west as 137th Street and Bird Road, 10 miles from Douglas Road. He said that these lots are actually in the Everglades. "Most of the people that buy lots in those areas put every cent of their savings in their homes and have no money to stay in hotels when the high water comes," he said. Duped by Salesmen He also told of two men erecting a sign saying "High and Dry Lots," who were standing waist deep in the water while they were putting up the sign. Referring again to the land near 137th Avenue, the Rotarian charged that developers advertised the property in the classified section of newspapers as being "nice and dry." "The average buyer who views the lots in the dry season doesn't know that they will be flooded when the rains come," Sieplein said, "and the real estate salesmen doesn't tell them." He said that the club is very much interested in the "program of buyer protection" because of the large amount of low land near Coral Gables that is served by the Gables business area.

U. S. and Canada Engage In 'Dispute' Over Border

By GARDINER JONES UP Staff Correspondent DULUTH, Minn. (UP)—Commissioners of St. Louis county cringe when they look northward to a group of "orphan" islands in the Namakan Lake region on the Canadian border. An unknown number of the islands are scattered through the waterways of the Rainy River District of Ontario. No one knows which islands belong to what country. The commissioners long for completion of a county land office survey this winter. It will (they hope) allow them to sleep undisturbed by complex boundary and tax problems, map complications and involved land sales. The survey is expected to prevent recurrence of such situations as when the commissioners presented a $148,000 tax bill to the now defunct Backus-Brooks timber concern of International Falls, Minn.—only to find the levy was against Canadian land. Court Backs County Or the time when 11 islands became tax delinquent and the commissioners arranged a land sale—only to learn they again were trafficking in Crown soil. The lumbering firm paid the tax bill when a court ruling held the United States had provided fire and police protection for the area and that, therefore, taxes should go the county. The land sale was dropped and the commissioners decided to look the other way until someone straightened things out. The confusion sprang from the original defining of the border, a loosely-drawn line through the main waterway from Lake Superior to Lake of the Woods. Survey Planned County Attorney Thomas Naylor and Land Commissioner L. R. Beatty explained a joint Canadian U. S. boundary commission compounded the confusion in 1930 when the border was re-defined. The federal maps were changed but the county maps were not. As a first step, Beatty will send two men on a cruise this winter through the region. They will survey each island and determine to which country it belongs. When the survey is complete and all charts are unanimous on island nationality, several definitely will change governments. Beatty said a preliminary check showed the U.S. will lose Bottle Portage Peninsula and Erickson, Blue, Randolph and several smaller islands. The U.S. will gain many islands from Canada, including Blind Pig, a famous navigation landmark.

Pint-Sized Bathrooms Devised for Homes

CHICAGO (UP)—The plumbing industry has come up with an answer to how you can have an extra bathroom even though you don't have much room. A complete bathroom has been designed to fit into a space as small as six feet by five feet. Many homes still have old-fashioned pantries which could fit into the picture. Or a partitioin could be built at the end of one of the larger bedrooms. The secret of the pint-sized bathroom is a corner lavatory and a small, low bathtub. Overall dimensions of the tub are 42 by 31 inches. It is ideal as a shower receptor, and convenient for giving the children a scrubbing. The big folks can use it either for a shower or a foot bath.
