Alfred Krupp Accused.
The sharply worded French note
accused Alfred Krupp of melting
German troops to pillage industrial
material from Western countries
and dispatch it to Germany ahead
of the Allied advance, and of ex-

Dubost said "the prosecutors COM

and the United tSates were legally
empowered by charter to name AL

Soviet Deputy Prosecutor Col. Yuri
Pokrovsky declared that TT is my
personal belief and the stand of my
country that Alfred Krupp is ma

brought to trial in the immediate fu-

the court to bring an indictment
against a son substituting for his
father, but against a war criminal
of the first magnitude.
Justice Jackson said, "I have
not read the copy of the French re-

we can do it. There are many

are not progressing as rapidly as we
had hoped"

Highways Are Crowded AS Motorists
Indulge In Weekend Driving Spree

Motorists went on a two-day driv-
ing spree Saturday and Sunday, the
first weekend after rationing was
lifted from gasoline, and altho lot
of rubber was worn off tires already
the worse for wear, drivers without
exception said it was worth it.
Reminiscent of pre-war holiday
crowds, steady stream of traffic
passed thru Bluffton on the Dixie
highway Sunday, and many Bluffton
motorists were in the parade.
How much motoring picked up
over the week end was seen in an
announcement by the state highway
department that it believed traffic
during the two-day period was 200
per cent greater as compared to the
days of gasoline rationing.
Motor traffic thru the week also is
much heavier than during more than
two years of curtailed driving, and
motorists anxious to take the road
likely will keep right on burning up
the highways until the arrival of
cold weather drives them indoors.
