Nozi PIone Almost
 Kills Gen. Potion

London. May 16 = (U.PD = A German fighter plane almost killed General George s. Patton, fiery commander of the American Third Army, at the height of his military triumphs.
 In late April, Patton was aloft in the Nurnberg area in a small liai- son plane observing territory which his army was about to take over from the Seventh Army.
 Suddenly German Messer- schmitt 1o9 spotted the tiny plane and dived on it with all machine guns blazing.
 Patton's pilot dropped close te earth and the German flyer, unable to pull out of his dive, crashed ir flames close by. Patton was unruffled when he stepped from the plane few min- utes later.

stood at Hitler's left. At his right stood Lieutenant General Heusinger who was deputizing for Colonel General Kurt Zeitzler, chief of the general staff who was ill. A Colonel Brandt, Heusinger's assistant, stood at Heusinger's right handing him papers while he reported on the military situation. Other officers and officials stood around the table and along the walls.
 Buchholz said:
 "Heusinger had been giving his report for about five minutes when several officers entered the room late, headed by Col Count Klaus von Stauffenberg. Hitler glanced over his shoulder but didn't recog- nize Stauffenberg immediately be- cause he had attended the confer ences only couple of times pre- viously. Keitel then introduced Stauffenberg as the man in charge of new formations Stauffenberg was charged with forming Volks- grenadier divisions and had come to report on that.
 Naturally at that time nothing seemed unusual or suspicious but later we recalled that Stauffenberg placed his briefcase next to the solid horse which supported the table at the end where Brandt was standing Brandt objected that the briefcase was in his way and moved 1t from where it had been placed against the inside surface of the horse to the outer surface.
 Although nobody paid any atten- tion to it at the time, we later recalled that Stauffenberg was called from the room to answer the telephone shortly after he put the briefcase under the table"
 Buchholz said Heusinger contin- ued giving his report until about 12:45 p. m.
 Then there was a terrific explo- sion like thunderclap,' said Buchholz. There was yellow sheet of flame, and smoke filled the room. The walls were partially blown out and the end of the table to Hit ler's right collapsed.
 Telephones Smashed
 Bits of glass from windows and lamps were blown around the room. The telephones were smashed.
 For some moments there was silence. Then I heard a voice believe was Keitel's asking, Where is der fuehrer?'
 T myself climbed through a window and ran around to the front of the barracks and saw Hit Ter walking to his bunker about 75 meters away. His SS chamberlain and Keitel wanted to help him but Hitler insisted on walking alone"
 Buchholz said it later proved that Hitler suffered confusion of his right arm es result of the jar from the table, upon which he was resting

State People Wont Poultry

Hartford, Con, May 16.-(UP)- The bill giving Gov. Baldwin emer- gency authority to seize foodstuffs for hospitals and state institutions was within senate-approval today of becoming law.
 The house passed the measure late yesterday on a roll call vote 195 -28. It permits him to take over food in transit, in warehouses oI processing plants. Originally it in- cluded poultry and meat in the hands of producers, but this section was deleted on complaint of farm CTS. All seized commodities will be paid for at OPA ceiling prices, plus reasonable expenses resulting from the seizures.
 The authority was asked by the governor who attributed the food shortage to black market operations particularly in poultry and eggs. Poultrymen at legislative commit tee hearing declared that they were forced into the black market be- cause of high feed prices and low OPA ceilings on their products.
 Democratic Leader Philip J. Sul- livan, Enfield, told house members that much of the poultry that hospitals need for diet patients is going to the night clubs in New York for black market prices. When such situation arises, something must be done about it."
 Opponents of the bill declared that it wc2G discourage poultry and egg production because farmers no longer could obtain high prices for their products. They said poultry men had offered the state an addi- tional five per cent of their out put, but the offer was turned down.
 Rep. Charles Henchel, D.. New Haven, declared that "all this talk about the OPA is merely a red herring being drawn across the trail by the opponents to this measure. People of the state won't be satis- fled with red herrings. They want chickens"
 While the house was debating the bill. representatives of the four Hartford hospitals told Mayor Will liam E. Mortensen and food process sors the institutions had been oper- ating on a hand to mouth" basis for weeks because of difficulties in obtaining poultry and meat.
 The mayor said it is most un- reasonable to expect that the in- stitutions should have to go and forage for food and compete with the black markets" He named a committee of seven to help relieve the situation.
 Meanwhile. state OPA director Stanley Crute claimed evidence was lacking to substantiate complaints of farmers that high feed costs and low ceiling prices were the cause of their plight.
 When We ask for cost data to support the complaints" he said. i've haven't been able to get it."
 He noted that in Delaware. where all poultry was ordered set aside for the armed forces. production jumped 10 per cent last year.
 Tt doesn't seem reasonable to me-" he said. that this increase has been brought about because tine growers there are losing money by selling at ceiling prices"
