Examples Of Hiaer's Vanity And
Intuition Given At Nazi Trials
Fuehrer's A ctivities
Brought Out In Testi-
mony In Trial Of War
Criminals
Ivy Associated rrcssl

NUREMBERG, Dec. s.
Examples OF Hitler's vanity
and intuition were given IN
testimony today before the
Allied court which is trying
20 Nazis as war criminals.
One witness stated that
Hitler, moved by "intuition",
expressed his determination
to invade Czeehoslovakia
early in 1888, though his
generals repeatedly warmed
him that his army was not
ready to wage war at that
time.
After many discussions,
he finally consented to post
pone the proposed invasion,
but not before he groWled
that his honor" had been
blasted.
AS it later turned out, a
Nazi army occupied the
northern half of CZechoSlo-
vakia on October /, 1888,
without bloodshcd.
Fear Of "lost prestige"
was a source of much worry
to Hitler. He used the term
always, witnesses said, when
his generals opposed any OF
his pet theories.
He was quoted, at the trial
today, as having said re-
peatedly that if he attacked
CzechoslOvakia and Poland,
neither France nor England
would declare war on Ger
many. AS to England, he
said, she would not enter
the war because she realized
the risk she would Jun in
losing all or some of her
colonial empire.

Walking through the Sl25,0OO
Monroe County Health Unit, one
really has to marvel that in this
county there are two such fine
/ buildings as the Municipal Hos
pital and the Health Unit.
/" Situated at the corner of Thorn
as and Fleming streets in front
of one of the Naval Bases main
gates, it is of one story construc-
ton, clean and e-looking, with
modern design the predominant
keynote. The design is by John
Allan Long, local architect.
Going around to the Thomas
Street entrance and going in the
modernistic door, first entrance
to the right is the office of the
genial supervisor, DR.. James q.
Parramorc, Jr.
The Health Unit is constructed
of two wings and a third con-
Meeting wing with a large hall
way and adjoining offices open
ing off the Railways running
down the center Of each wing.
Mosquito Control
Down the wing adjacent to DR..
Palramorc's office to the right is
the u. S. Public Health Mosquito
Control men. In here arc Super
visor John M. Hausc, Manuel Va
rela and Edward Fernandez,
whom you may see around your
yards checking into cisterns to,
sec if mosquitoes are present,
looking for containers where mos
quitoes may breed and in general
searching out the mosquito in his
TaIr. Incidentally, diesel oil,
which is. used in spraying Watcry
low places, is being furnished by
the city where before the Fed
Cral government had to furnish
it. These men also check the
abandoned ciStcrnS over town
of which there arc approximately
800.
Liks ry
To the left around the corner rs
a DANDY library of pamphlets ard
other literature on health care.
Anyone is welcome during the
opening hours of the Health Unit
to come in and read into this
medical literature. There is
much on the common diseases
prevailing throughout the country
and also dandy vitamin charts to
ensure proper nutrition for all the
family.
Laboratory
Continuing on down the wing
there is a beautiful laboratory.
where tcchnicianS work analyZ-
ing various test tubes in the in
terest of county health. Through
those gates pass all the possible
blood tests, specimens and tissue
which determine just what the
health conditions are in the coun-
ty. There is a. fine big kitchen
in this wing from which meals
may be served.
Dental Laboratory
Then swinging into the con
Meeting wing, we pass the dental
laboratory and dental chair on
the left, where regular dental
care is given INDECENT folk prop
erly certified by welfare workers.
Pr;-Natsl Examination Room
A natal examination room
to the right is as clean and spot
less as one would wish. Posters
are up Stressing care before the
baby is born, and after it is born.
X-RaY Room
A little farther down the hall
is the large X-ray room, where
free state tests are made for any
one who is suspicious of various
chest symptoms which might
presage tuberculosis or pneu-
monia.
