SIRENS ALL OPEN
Admiral w arms Against
Allowing Japs To
Resume Strength

SAN. FRANCISCO, Oct. 15.-tR)
Admiral Halsey, like his dunga-
reed seamen, scorned ceremonial
dignity to wave an enthusiastic
greeting to crowds high above as
his homecoming Third Fleet flag
ship steamed beneath the Golden
Gate bridge today at noon.
At first he stood rigid, silent and
alone on the veranda deck of the
Battleship South Dakota. Planes
and dirigibles wheeled overhead
and the bridge doomed nearer. The
Admiral turned his head for a
twinkling aside to his staff:
"They used to throw pop bottles
off there -
Then, as the cheers Of the wait
ing throng became audible, his
gold-braided arm swept aloft in
reply. Down at the quarterback
rail, seaman burst forth with:
''to hell with this standing at at
tention!" And he and his ship
mates waved, too.
California's Gov. Earl Warren
was first up the white-roped gang
way as the big flagship reached
its anchorage inside the bay Wei.
come home, Sir; it's great to see
YOU" he told Halsey.
"How are you, Governor!" the
Admiral grinned".
Adm. Royal E. Ingerso1l, com.
handing the Western sea frontier,
was the last of the welcoming
Army and Navy officers to board
the. flagship. Both he and Halsey,
face to face, held rigid salutes unit.

AMERICAN COURT
WEIGHING PLEAS

WIESBADEN, Germany, Oct. IS.
-(R-An American Military Com
mission deliberated tonight the
mercy pleas of seven Nazis accus-
ed of operating a murder mill al
the Madamar Insane Asylum.
Four German defense attorneys
based their final arguments on
the premise the six men and one
women employed at the asylum
were the innocent tools of the Hit
Ter regime.
The attorneys said the regime
directed the killing of approxima-
te;y 500 Poles. and Russians and the
defendants only followed orders
in administering poison tablets and
injecting lethal doses of morphine.
The Poles and Russians had been
impressed into labor service for
the Reich. Their deaths came after
the Hadamar institution had been
used in killing nearly $1,000 Ger
mans who were declared incurably
insane and no longer useful to
Germany, testimony had disclosed.
Hans Laternser, attorney for AL
fons Klein, supervisor of the Hada-
mar Asylum, pleaded with the
commission that Klein only passed
along orders from Gauleiter Kacob
Sprenger and his immediate SUI
perior, Fritz Bernatot, now both
dead.
1.-The real blame lay with the re-
gime of atrocities, of Jewish re-
preston, of concentration camps
and chambers declared Latern-
ser.
Kurt Kauffmanjn attorney for
the chief woman nurse, Irgmard
Huber, said in his statement to the
court that Germany had suffered

Of poison too weak to permit him
to die by his own hand.

premier three times, met trail

a blank cartridge.
The Colonel heading the execu

a pistol, but the arch traitor al

Laval, who had cheated and be-

Various members of the Board of

on the move and the sentiment of
the body was that extension had
been apparently thoroughly studied.
that the plan was feasible and that
it would be beneficial both to the
city and to those districts taken in.
Since Wilmington so obviously
needs to grow, it was felt that the
Chamber of Commerce should
stand Fundamentally in favor of a
plan to better the city economical
ly.
1t was termed appropriate that
the Chamber, as representative of

should place the good OF the COM
