Kill Goerinq, Hitler Said
 Porotroopers Save
 Luftwoffe Leader

Nuremberg, Dec. l7-(UP)-Adolf Hitler ordered Hermann Goering ar- rested and shot on April 9, l945, but the fat Luftwaffe leader was rescued at the last minute by a band of his own paratroopers, t:e United Press learned today.
 From the Nuremberg trial testi- mony and interrogation of the Nazi defendants, Allied investigators fi- nally are unravelling the strange story of how Hitler, in his last hys- terical days, turned against the man he had appointed to succeed him.
 Goerings fall from favor really began with the mob-killing of Beni- to MuSsolini in northern Italy. The pictures of his ex-partner hanging by his heels from the roof of a Mi Ian gasoline station shook the Nazi fuehrer.
 Delayed Suicide
 He apparently made up his mind then to commit suicide and have his body destroyed to avoid similar fate.
 Originally, Hitler planned to kill himself on April 9, 1945. He issued orders that Goering, then at Berch- tesgaden, was to succeed him.
 But on the appointed Day, Hitler's confused mind led him to believe the battle of Berlin was swinging in Germany's favor, and he postponed his suicide.
 Goering Wanted Okay
 Through some nix-up, however, Goering received the expected tele- gram that day authorizing him to assume command. Convinced the war was lost and willing to surren- der to the Allies, Goering tele- graphed Berlin for verification of Hitleris death and complete defini- tion of his own authority.
 When Hitler learned of Goering'S telegram, he flew into rage. Be- lieving that Goering was trying to seize power and force Germany's surrender, he ordered the Luftwaffe chief arrested and executed immed- lately.
 Nazi elite guards stationed at BercnteSgaQen SelZSd CIOerlng. But, because the telegram ordering his execution was signed by Martin Bormann instead of Hitler, they de- layed their departure with their cap- tive for some hours.
 Convoy Retakes Leader
 Enroute to headquarters after the delay, the SS guards were resting alongside the road with their cap- tive when a troop convoy caught up with them.
 It was detachment of Goering's personal paratroop bodyguard, and they immediately recognized their leader.
 The paratroopers attacked at once and the outnumbered elite guards surrendered Goering to them.
 Goering subsequently, was escorted back to his home in the Berchtes- gaden area and he remained there under heavy guard of paratroop- CTS until he surrendered to the Americans.

 Canadians To Vote
 Demands for the 30 percent wage hike were to be pressed on a new front today when contract negotia- tions open between the union and the Kaiser-Frazer Corporation newcomer to auto making. Kaiser Frazier announced 1t would present a new encouragement security proposal.
 At Windsor, Ontario, across the river from Detroit, 5000 of the 10,- 900 striking Ford of Canada JAW workers voted yesterday to decide by secret ballot tomorrow and We'd nesday whether to accept a Dom- inion proposal for arbitration of their union shop and checkoff de- mands.
 The proposal was submitted by Dominion Labor Minister Humphrey Mitchell. It called for selection of an arbitrator from the Ontario su- preme court, with power to consider all issues in the 96-day dispute. The company has accepted the Domin- ion plan.

 Buffalo today was under state of emergency as the cold and bliz- gard closed all schools, paralyzed public and private transportation, snarled rail traffic and shut down nearly all industries.

During the last few weeks when
news OF the atomic bomb suddenly
burst upon the Notwithstanding
the Japs-the name of Dane
has been mentioned among those
who have collaborated on this two
billion dollar experiment. He is DR..
Niels Bohr, and he is referred to
as one of Denmark's great scien-
lists. a Nobel prize winner, man
who was whisked from the grasp
OF the Nazis and later assisted in
developing the atomic bomb.
1t is known that Germany had
worked desperately to solve the
problem Of controlling atomic en-
ergy; no wonder then that they
had their eyes on Bohr, for few
knew more about the atom than
he. 1t was lucky for him, and for
the world, that the Germans
didn't catch him.
Since his escape Bohr has
moved mysteriously about. His
presence in the United States has
been known to only a few. and
they. Of course, did not tell. Nor
was he stranger to the United
States, for he had been here in
1887 and again in 1889 during the
New York Worlds Fair.
We shall not attempt to give
YOU any complete account of DR..
Bohr's scientific achievements or
his many academic honors. They
fill two columns in the Danish
Who's Who. But we would give
you just few highlights of his
career and escape.

next, and he was born in Copen-
hagen. At the age of 31-that
would be 1e16-he became profess
sor of theoretical physics at the
University of Copenhagen. Three
years earlier. in 1913, in three
epoch-making papers on the con-
stitution of atoms and molecules,
he developed the principles upon
which our understanding of atoms

way transatlantic broadcast from
Copenhagen concentrated the
25th anniversary of the day when
he completed his first paper.
On that occasion, DR.. Louis
Turner of Princeton University
was a guest at Bohrs institute in
Copenhagen and hailed him for his
theory which since then
had been the guide in all progress
in atomic physics.

as are all great men, he gave gen.

In 1920 he became the leader

to bring about an intimate col
Liberation between theoretical and
experimental physics.
The building of the Institute
and the equipment were gifts of
the Rockefeller Foundation and of
various Danish bodies. Here more
than a hundred scientists from the
United States and other countries
have been working with Dr. Bohr.
In December, 1943, the Germans
raided the Institute. They arrested
two of Bohr's assistants and put
German professors in charge. But
the master had gone to continue
his work elsewhere and with him
went much of the priceless data
which had won him q Nobel prize.
The Germans found nothing they

fishing boat on the Danish coast

to cross. He arrived in Sweden

police-at the request of Danish
authorities prevent his falling
