Death Sentence
Ion Nozi Radio
BY the Associated Pres


LONDON, April 3.-A woman sit
ting in her London home heard the
German radio announce today that
she had been sentenced to death
in absentia.
I've been expecting it she said
brightly.
The woman is Nine Wlada Kara
stoyanova, daughter of a former
premier of Bulgaria. Since l941,
when she escaped from a German
concentration camp she has been in
London making anti-Axis broad
casts in her native language, beamed
to Bulgaria.
Her name was used only once in
the broadcaSts. But German moni-
tors immediately caught it and a
German military tribunal, sitting in
Sofia, convicted her on a charge of
high treason. She heard the de-
clslon in German news broadcast
She said she was not worried
about the death sentence-for her
! self, But her mother. brother and
sister still are in Bulgaria.

Trainmen' 5 Leader
Accuses Railroads Of
Waste in Manpower
Whitney Tells Senators
Major Scandal Lies
In Present Policies
By the Associated Press.


A. F. Whitney, president of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen
believes congressional investiga
tlcn OF managements use of rail-
road manpower would uncover one
OF the major scandals of the war"
Testifying before the Senate War
1nvestiga ting Committee Yesterday
Mr.. Whitney declared railroads are
wasting millions of labor mar
hours annually" through 'inepti-
tude, bungling and penny-p pinch
ing"
If this committee or any other
ever goes to the bottom of the issue
OF railroad manpower, it will un-
cover one of the major scandals of
the war" he said.
Mr.. Whitney reminded the com
mlttee that railroad labor organiza-
lions are in the midst of negotia-
tlons for basic wage increases and
said:
1T would not be constructive for
any citizen to look upon these or
any other demands as acts of dis
ruption,' but challenge to Con-
gress to do a better job" on stabili-
zation, he said
IF a better job of ordering the
war economy on the home front is
not done" he declared, "all labor
will have ample justification for
making even more demands"
He said wage stabilization would
not stop imitation without control of
retail prices, farm prices, salaries
and other factors.
Mr.. Whitney charged that rail-
road managements waste manpower
by leaving men lying around at
aWay-from-home terminals from 10
TO 80 hours at a time, some times
to save the expense of dead head
ing them back to home terminals
where war freight stands immobilized

Britain Has Trouble
Supplying Enough Coins

Double shifts are working in the
British mint to meet public demand
for coinage, and the Ministry of
Food in London begs housewives not
to store their farthings, but to put
them in circulation.
Mint officials point out that 23.-
100000 bronze coins have been
issued, and in addition millions of
the new 12-sided three penny pieces.
Causes of the demand for new
coinage are the war, the multiplied
ton of well-paid workers and the
presence in the country Of American
and Canadian troops.

Tradition has it that spring
comes in like lion. and goes out
like a lamb.
While the weather had little
effect on lp5ilanti High Schools
basketball game with Birmingham
Friday night on the downriver
court, the Ypsilanti team, did show
noticeable lion-like traits in the
first quarter OF the game, with
sprinklings OF that spirit in the
second and third quarters. only TO
be swallowed by the opposition in
the final period. 1875.
Probably the most accurate OF
the Ypsilanti players was Bob
Bower. who started at left guard,
the place ordinarily occupied by
Ralph Bulls. Bob's only difficult
ty was that he allowed his zeal to
carry him a little too far. and after
sinking four field goals for eight
points in the first quarter, was re-
tired on four fouls. Until that
time, his uncahny accuracy led him
to drop in baskets from every an'
gle, and from every position.
Jim Miller. center. also had his
share OF fouling. for he was re-
jected via the fourfoul route short
~ after Bower. Before he LETT,
he had made four points.
oddly enough, these eight were
the only fouls called on the War
riors in the first half. and the frs,
half total OF eight was only one
more than Birmingham but were
called where they did most harm,
for Miller Is one OF the most con.
sistent scorers on the team, and
one can only guess what proper
tons the score would have reach
ed had Bower been allowed TO
continue his pace.
Captain Ewart Bud" Meyer
claimed high point honors for the
Braves with ten markers which
he gained on three baskets and
four rec throws in eight attempt
Second Bob Moffett managed to
make one free throw after counting
eight points on field goals to Guido
his teammate Bob Bower by one
point Jim Miller's four. added to
two apiece bv Bulls and Stroll
made up the remainer OF the fpsi
lanti total OF IS.
Birmingham's center, Hopkins
was the outstanding performer on
that team, chalking up l3 points
on six field goals and a charity
toss. though he missed in FIVE other
attempts at the foul line.
Greatest defense player of the
evening. Pat O'Hara, missed or
three foul shots. but where he was
unable to make up the difference n
offensive play, he did so defensive
ly. Seldom DID pass or would.be
goal get past him, but when one
did sneak past, he MANAGED &c
