Weatherman Out OF Luck
Blonde Hair Now Passe

WASHINGTON, Aug. "a
P)-No more can the Grant
weatherman come home with
a blonde hair on his collar and
glibly explain to his wife:
"Why, honey, l though you
knew! We use those down at
the office of testing humidity"
The Commerce Department
disclosed today that blonde
hairs are passe and that an
electricl gadget does the work.
Up until this year blonde
hairs were greatly in demand
for use in transmitting weather
signals from the upper air.
Blonde hairs are more sensi-
tive to humidity changes than
those of redheads and brunei
ties. But science has found
that fine wires, doctored up
with resin and acetate do
better detecting job.

linz who has denied the most tri-
vial charges in his trial for treason,
made his first major slip today
BY admitting he had received $40,.
900 in cash from the Nazis before
the Germans occupied Norway.
Puppet premier of Norway under
Nazi rule, he admitted Under re-
lentless questioning that he had
received 10000 pounds sterling
which William Hagelin, who was
Minister Of Interior and Commerce
in the Quisling government, brought
to Norway from Germany in a
trunk.
His admission followed testimony
Of the manager of the Quisling
newspaper, Daily Frittfolk, Johan
Trondsen, that ne (Trondsen) re.
ceived 10000 crowns $3.50, 1929 from
Quisling to use for propaganda.
Quisling told smiling Prosecutor An
naeus Schjoedt that he had receiv'
ed the money from Hagelin. Pre-
viously Quisling denied receiving
any German money.
During most of the morning ses-
sion Quisling appeared bored and
sometimes amused as Hagelin,
seedy, in baggy pants, testified. His
voice was husky. He kept his eyes
on the floor.
Hagelin denied he had been an
agent for Quisling before the April

Foreign Economic Admin: strator
Leo Crowley today that "respon.

recognized that such shipments

of the United States action, Crow

that Lend-Lease was strictly war

testimony last month before the

law and under the promises made
to Congress and the American
people who have appropriated 40

Crowley said in an interview.
''The late President Roosevelt,
Mr.. Truman, as Vice-President and
President, and myself, repeatedly
stated that Lend-Lease could not
be used for postwar rehabilitation

If that promise had been broken,
it might have "jeopardized the
whole authority we would need to
have" if the United States was tc

period, he said.

His left leg was sheared off

of three bones in his right foot

in his right leg.
He was brought into the Sixth
