 Expulxlon
 The expulsion of the five officers will be carried out at the same time sentence is pronounced on the otiH- CTS. Transocean News Agency said.
 Transocean said that when given . final chance to speak. Klausing and Bernardis. who were considered to have been persuaded by ths others to join the plot. asked that the sentence be carried out by shooting rather than the unmIlitary and disgraceful method Of hanging.
 Witxleben, alleged leader of the group. had nothing to say. while Boeppner pleaded that his estate not be conflscated aS was demanded by the prosecuting attorney. Trans- ocean said. The two-day trial was held sn secret and much of the testi- mony wns either obviously suppressed VI A1ADDdEG " AaAE tA8&Aos
 The alleged testimony indicated that as far back as February i9ss, the plot against Hitler vas brewing, and that by the end Of that year negotiations were underway among the group to actually carry out the assassination attempt.
 Ouiragc
 If the executions by hanging are carried out. a large portion Of the army will undoubtedly regard it as an outrage and an insult 10 the honor of the whole Wehrinacht. Soi- diers normally are executed by the firing squad. while death by hanging Is reserved for the lowest criminals.
 While the conclusion of the trial vas announced. the Germans re- neged the reward offer of 1000. 600 marks for the apprehension of pr. Kari GOerdeler. former mayor Of Leipzig. who was involved in the plot and threatened severe punishment to any German found harboring him.
 DINE said testimony disclosed that Goerdler was to have been Reich Chancellor, supplanting Hitler, in the rebel government.
 Colonel General Ludwig Beck, EiaO committed suicide. was scheduled to have taken control Of civil goyerg- ment. Witzleben to become con- naander ia chief of the German army. and Hoeppner c0m- mander in chief Of the German home army, a job now held by Heinrich HimmleF.
 For the first time in Nazi ofIleial accounts, the purpose Of the move ment was admitted today to be not only to kill Hitler and 0ust the Nazis but also to make immediate peace with the Allies. The cOnspiratorS planned to seize the Nazl radio net- gork, arrest all key government officials and open concentrations camps, according to DNB's version.
 The accused c0nspiTat0rs were Field Marshal Erwin son WitzlebeD, Col. Gen. HoeppneT. Maj. Gen stteff. L. Gen. von EIase. It. vOD Hagen, It. Col. BeTuardis, Capt. Friederick Kari Klausipg, and kA Count York von Wartenburg..

KIWANIANS HEAR
PARALYSIS TALK

1.-THE more familiar you become
with some of the facts of poliomy,
elitis. the less afraid you are Of
the disease" DR.. E. V. Turner told
members of the KiWanis clul yes
terday.
He defined polio as a spectre
acute disease, chiefly in infants
and children. characterized by te-
brile symptoms, motor paralysis
and muscular atrophy; the para
lvsis is due to degeneration OF the
nerve cells in the anterior horns OF
the gray substance OF the spinal
cord.
The period of a child's greatest
susceptibility of infantile paralysis
is from the ages of one to six, and
it. is usually diagnosed from one to
three weeks after contact, DR..
Turner said.
Signs of the disease may be evld-
ent, but people will not know that
they are polio cases, or they may
not even feel sick. however, often
symptoms do not materialize, for
nine tenths of the adult population
has minor signs of infantlle para
lysis, he stated.
In continuing he said, when
child has a general feeling of be-
ing unwell, appears sicker than
he should with short illness, is
drowsy Or irritable. has headaches,
mild intestinal disorder. pains IN
back and neck, fever and stiffening
of back and neck, he in all prob
ability has infantile paralysis.
The removal of tonsils and ade-
noids during an epidemic is con-
traindicated ana should be discour-
aged for the disease is nearly al
ways fatal if contracted at such a
time, Dr.. Turner noted.
The theory devised in 1910 by
Elizabeth Kenny, an Australian
nurse, is now widely used for treat
ment, DR.. Turner commented. She
advocates reeducation of muscles
and appliance of hot packs, ne
stated, 'but the best treatment for
the disease is early diagnosis"

SOME EMPLOYERS
DlS0BEYINC VINO

Results of spot check
of approximately $500 en-
ployers in the Wilmington Of
flee area of the United States
Employment Service has shown
that quite a few employers
were not in compliance with
the Manpower Priorites plan
that became effective July l,
Felix A. Scroggs, manager of
the local USES office, disclos-
ed yesterday.
''It also was found" the
USES manager said, that, al
though quite a bit OF publicity
has been given this matter,
many employers did not re-
alize that they were n It in
compliance. Some employers
had more workers than their
ceilings allowed them. Others
had hired more than their turn
over allowance.
In a statement issued today,
Scroggs said 1T has not been
possible to get notices out to
all of the approximately 1850
employers in the Wilmington
office area as to what their
ceiling was, but publicity was
given the fact that their cell
ings would be, unless other
wise notified, their employment
roll as of April l, 1914. Also
they could employ only Is per
cent of the number of persons
they had in their employ on
July /, 1914.
'That is, if an employer had
60 persons on his payroll on
April 1, his ceiling was set at
go. If he only had 40 persons
on his payroll on July l, his
turnover allowance would be
six persons or Is per cent of
40. He could employ 20 per-
sons, which would bring him
up to his ceiling of 60, plus
the six persons his IS per cent
turnover would allow, which
would make a total employ
ment for that particular en-
ployer for the next 60 days of
rs persons.
Continuing, Scroggs said ut
is now necessary that before
an employer hires anyone an
order be placed with the en-
ployment office. 1t has been
the practice in the past for an
employer, if a person came to
see him and wanted a job, to
send that person to the en-
ployment office and request
that he get cards and bring
them back to him. Now it is
necessary that the employer,
at the time he sends the per-
son to the office, call the Of
flee and place the order be-
fore that person can be sent
to him. Reports are b eing
made to this office almost
daily of employers W h are
hiring without first getting
clearance.
1T is hoped this explanation
will clear up a few of the mis-
understandings concerning the
Manpower Priorities program
and that employers will call
this office in the future before
sending person to be refer
red"
