HlMMLER BURIED
IN SECRET GRAVE
Nv CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN

Sf LUENEBERG, Germany, May
Himmler was returned uncere-
noniously today to the soil OF Ger
nanv which he stained with the
blood of thousands of victims OF
his Gestapo.

~ British soldier who had to dig
bis secret grave.
Il His burial was as summary rs
Mat of his victims in such con-
eentration camps as Dachau and
Belsen. In fact, the British tried
10 get a pine coffin such as USED
at Belsen for the slain, but they
could not find one.
Himrnler's body had laid for two
days where it fell after ne took
poison Wednesday rather than face
krial as a war criminal.
A senior intelligence officer was
given Instructions to dispose OF the
BODY as he saw fit. He saw TIT to
make if as unceremonious as pos
sible.
Il A major and three sergeants
were summoned to the villa where
the SIS and Gestapo chieftaln took
his life.
n The sergeants grabbed the body
still wrapped in the Grey British
army blanket Himmler wore when
he faced his captors-by the head
and feet.
Y They walked out the door and
around behind n d dumped the
body into one ton army truck
alongside three spades. The truck
roared off.
n The burial party drove out into
some woods-just where must re-
4 main forever secret.
The sergeants spaded out a
+ hole. Then they thrust the body
4 into it, one sergeant groWled his
i requiem about the worms, and then
thew began covering up the body.
They left no marker. They old
not even leave the usual tell tale
mound of earth. They smoothed
the ground off level SO as not to
leave a trace.
With Hinmler they were bury
ing the secret of where his body
lies.
The British don't want the Ger
mans coming around, exhuming the
body and maybe erecting d monu
ment some day to this monumental
killer.

Detailed Reports
BY PAUL MALLoN

WASHINGTON. - Mr.. Hannegan
Is taking nothing for granted. The
political pal Of the President actual
ly sent skilled scouts out into vari-
Gus sections OF the country to ascer-
tain how the new moves from the
White House are regarded. He did
not trust polls. even his own. but
wished detailed reports.
From all sections the answer was
about the same. In effect, they
amounted TO an enthusiastic go
ahead sign on the line Mr.. Truman
is hewing with his cabinet changes,
legislative suggestions and foreign
policy.
Mr.. Hannegan was told by his
selected agents the nation had
warmed up 10 methods OF the execu.
tive. although the leftwing crowd,
embodying the stsreotyped New
Dealers. was a little restless and in"
clined to indulge in a few carom
shots. AS q matter Of observable
fact the CLIO. for q prime example.

appointment to labor. possibly be-

Mr.. Biddle's invited exit as attorney
general either. But Mr.. Truman
evened II up by presenting the I'M

H. R. S.:-My young daughter
has very dry skin. What causes it
and what can / do about it,
Answer:-The character Of the
skin varies in different individuals,
depending somewhat on the amount
Of secretion from the fat glands in
the skin. Dryness Of the skin may
be due to some extent to a lack Of
thyroid secretion. However, in
such instances, symptoms such as
coarseness Of the hair, lack Of
energy and excessive gain in
weight will be noted. In cases
where the skin is naturally dry,
there does not seem to be much
that can be done outside Of apply
ing bland ointment, such as cold
cream, to the skin once a day.
