dogged the camp. Defore that we

(Continued from Page OneJ

Paunchy Herman Goering and AL fred Rosenberg, official Nazi philos- opher and head of the party's for eign affairs bureau, bore the brunt of the American prosecution at tack at the opening of the fourth week of the trial.
 Disclosing the detailed German plans to strip captured Russian territory of food, industries and raw materials, prosecutors introduced as evidence a speech made by Rosen- berg on June 9, 1941-two days be- fore the invasion-in which the Nazi leader declared we see abso- lutely no reason for any obligation on our part to feed also the Russian people with products of that surplus territory"
 Goering, according to official doc mments, was the director of the economic policy which call ed for "seizing raw materials and taking over all important concerns" "a policy described by Assistant U. s. Prosecutor Sidney A. Alderman as "economic plumber"

CAT HOTEL RIGHT HERE IN JUNEAU;
 SOME TRANSIENT, BUT OTHERS ARE
 STEADY GUESTS, JOHNSTON E HOST

In Juneau of the Great North west in the land of ice and snow, is a lush and roomy Grand Hotel where only cats can go. There is no Bubble Room, or photo-mural- ed wall. No glacier-iced cocktails, or any cover charge at all. The bedrooms here are straw motif with modern beds along the floor. Fur niture is natural wood and there are chairs and davenports galore. The food is good; the service very fine. (Seven Bell Hops are hopping al the time)
 To approach this swish estab- lishment-if you're a cat-just take the Alley Tour You'll need no reservation for transportation to Catland, Thomas Hardware Store. Names of guests are never published (Cats consider such as rubbishD Registrants get the daily paper for which they never pay a cent. Their blood remains at even temperature; their names are not misspelled in print
 Twenty years ago the Grand Hotel received it's modest start. No bonds were floated-nor paper work of any sort. No publicity schemes, no in- vitational reams were tried. AS the tourist trade filed down the alley track, the door was merely opened up a crack
 On that long ago occasion of our Grand Hotels debut, housing situa- tion had not started; guests were only two.
 Now today as Christr2es trade is purring in, while human animals howl outside for living room, the Grand Hotel is very cozy, thank you, and the house is having quite a boom.
 There are seven permanent regis trees, all of various size and pedi- grees-longtails, bobtails, broken tails, but still no cocktails. There are many transients, respectable but tickle crowd who come in for overnight, weekends or just to browse.
 There are celebrities: one-eyed Jimmy, cat-weight champion of the Alley, and Queen of the Coal Rooms

INDIANAPOLIS Dec. 10.-Sgt. Frederick E. Bauer, fighting for an honorable discharge from the army, told a board of officers that he came to the United States as a German espionage agent, but that he had never helped the Germans nor ever intended to.
 "I made no contact whatsoever with anybody he testified.
 T had joined the intelligence of the Third Reich because it was the only way I could get out of Germany into the United States and wanted to do that more than anything in the world" the German-born Ser
 cant said.
 The board of officers which con- ducted the hearing at Fort Benjamin Harrison can recommend only that the former Washington lawyer be given an honorable discharge or be discharged without honor.

the losing pitcher allowed only one
hit but still lost. That one hit was
a home run by Blazer, of Magnetic
in the first inning, with no one
on base. The Resorters scored the
winning run in the eighth inning
on walk, a stolen base and an
error. In the second game, Stillings
allowed three hits, while in the
first game, Murray allowed the
Cardington team only two hits.

Tool provided the fans with all the
thrills a baseball game can dish
out, and was a real pitchers duel
all the way until the 18th inning.
Noel Howard, Marysvifle high
star, pitched for Magnetic in this
game, and played superb ball until
the 18th inning. AT that time, hav-
ing already pitched IL innings, the
Incor management took him out
of the game because Howard had
pitched a Shining game in Dayton
on Friday and they were afraid of
hurting his arm. He was relieved
by Spence, and the visiting Eagle
tool team scored two runs the 18th
frame.
