WERNER is NAMED
MAYOR OF BERLIN

London-Moscow radio said
this week that Soviet military au-
thorities had approved DR.. Arthur
Werner, as Gestapo-persecuted
architect, as burgomaster of Ber-
in.
Worker Karl Maron was named
first deputy, the broadcast said.
Moscow announced that 400
Berlin residents had attended the
first meeting of the municipality
held in an insurance building in
the absence of a town hall in the
devastated German capital.
The group flew banners pledg-
ing unity against fascism and the
rebirth of the German nation,
Moscow said.
An earlier Berlin broadcast
said that a long list of depart

GOERING'S EXHIBIT
is NOW ON DISPLAY

Berchtesgaden, Germany-Her-
mann Goering's "private" art
collection-valued at $200,000,O0O
and "acquired'' when all Europe's
treasures lay at the Nazis' feet
went on exhibition this week to
American G. rs and officers.
The collection of Goering's
loot went on to show in a rustic,
rambling three-storv inn hidden
away in the mountains south of
this famous Bavarian village.
In the tiny, pine-walled rooms
were stacked centuries-old paint
ings of Europe's masters and the
rich collection of tapestries and
rugs and gold and silver art OBJ
jects plundered from Europe's
museums by the pudgy Nazi Luft-
waite chief now an American
prisoner.
Outside the nameless little
hotel hangs a banner: 'The Her
mann Goering art collection
through courtesy of the 101st Air
borne Division" The G. I. ar
fist who did the job acquainted
himself admirably on the falcon
head emblem of the division, but
he had to paint over an error in
spelling "Goering."

CANADA WILL SEND
10000 INTO PACIFIC

Edmonton, Alta..-Canada will
send about 10000 soldiers, a ma
val force of 1880 and an un-
specified number of air force per-
sonnet into the war against ia
pan. Prime Minister Mackenzie
King announced.
Apparently in reply to opposi-
ton criticism of his announced
policy that only volunteers would
be sent to the Pacific, and asser-
tons that Canada was not MAX
ing an about effort against ia
pan, the prime minister disclosed
Canadian plans in a special state
ment.
"The broad lines of Canadian
participation in the Japanese war
were settled at the Quebec con-
ference in September, 1914" he
said.

SAFE DRINKING
Infected drinking water can
cause as many casualties as en-

takes out most of the harmful

When special powders are add

for drinking.
The list of innovations is al

Thefts Here
Thefts from Cors

A sudden wave OF thefts from
automobiles, three reported last
night, is under investigation to-
day of city police.
The first was reported by
Thomas Champion of 81 Moross
who told police that three tires
had been stolen from his car
While it was parked in his ga
rage in back of the house. He
stated that several repairmen
had been working on the car
during the afternoon but he did
not know their names.
Almost directly across the

"a Lodewyck. a school teacher
in Mount Clemens, told police
that she had several dresses and
other clothing stolen from the
car while it was parked in the
garage. She stated that she had
packed the clothes into the car
planning 10 leave on trip to-
day but that she discovered that
someone had broken the glass

WASHINGTON - Now that
the full fury of Americas might
Is turned on Japan after victory
in Europe Yank soldiers are be-
ing outfitted with the most SCI
entific offensive and defensive
equipment ever given a fight
ing man in the history of war.
Revealed by the Army for the
first time are m All ng new
weapons and gadgets w h | C h
range from new super armor-
piercing bombs and rockets, gil
ant tanks and almost-magic ra-
dar equipment down to portable
water-filtering systems and bull
let-proof clothing. Many of these
items, used experimentally in
Europe, are just getting into
mass production for use in the
Pacific theater.
These things represent the abb
solute latest that science has de-
veloped for killing the enemy
and protecting the lives of our
own men.
Production has been stepped
up on the much-discussed Gen.
eral Pershing tank and it will
be used against the Japs soon.
Though some still considered it
inferior to German tanks, it is
agreed to be much better than
anything the Japs have.
Known as the T-26, it weighs
as tons, mounts Comm. gun,
has extremely thick armor plat
ing and wide treads TO help it

Chinese Innkeeper. Wife
Sentenced 10 Death

A Chinese innkeper and his
accomplice were sentenced TO
death today for numbering and
robbing 70 persons, most OF
whom were guests at the Inn.
The Inn is at Changshou. a
river port about so miles down
the Yangtze from Chungking.
Lao Chang-Shin, the Inn
keeper. and a man called Hsui
Chang Shan, his accomplice,
both admitted the charges dur
ing the trial. Execution awaited
approval OF the sentence by

One victim was a prostitute

crete pill-boxes and heavily pro-
tected gun emplacements will
probably not permit such bloody
operations as Two Jima. Super
hard steel noses have been de-
veloped for shells and rockets
which are capable of penetrat-
ing seven and one-half feet of
reinforced concrete.
Mines laid by the enemy have
always been the cause of much
loss of personnel and time. De-
tectors have been made that
ferret out even the most clev-
erly concealed BOBBY traps. The
men who clear the mine fields
will wear special armor-plated
clothing padded with bullet-re-
sisting magnesium backed by
nylon which has the property of
not yielding to shrapnel. These
things have just been developed
and are being rushed for use at
the fronts.
There is a long steel gadget
called a snake" which is sent
slithering over a couple Of hun
dred feet of ground, leaving mi
nor explosions in its path as it
detonates hidden mines in front
of advancing troops.
Even the familiar c rations
have been modernized. The meat
and vegetable hash has been
eliminated, and seven day va
riety, including chicken n d
noodles, hot dogs and beans,
spaghetti and other tasty items,
has been substituted.
WATERPROOF ZIPPERS
Special waterproof containers
for ammunition and other sup
plies and waterproof clothing
with the first waterproof zip
pers have been developed to
withstand the damp conditions
encountered in most of the Pa
cific fighting.
Radar equipment, hitherto ex-
tremely bulky and requiring
elaborate and complicated in
stallation, has been streamlined.
Portable radar sets for detecting
approaching enemy aircraft have
been developed for use on an in
vasion beach q few minutes aft
er landing. A small but highly
efficient radar-controlled search
light has been designed to spot
Jap planes. This is used to aid
our fighters during night action.
1t used to be that returning
night patrols were often unable
to describe where they had been
or lead a force back TO any i'm
portant discovery. Now a gadget
is worn around the neck of a
man that marks on a map ex-
actly where he has been. It's
called Photograph, MI. If a
man on patrol sees a gun en-
placement, he pushed a button
on the gadget and mark is
made on the map indicating ex-
actly where he stood when he
saw the emplacement.
One of the most amazing de-
vices is mine-firing device.
More than 2100 mines can be
laid in an area and each one can
be blown up by merely dialing
a number on regular telephone
dial. 1t Is done by radio.
