 Records Nav Be Returned

Impounded city records now in the hands of special states Attor- ney Hugh M. Alcorn relative to the conspiracy case will likely be re- turned to the city soon according to sources contracting the Democrat today.
 Belief is held here in view of this move that the pending $600000 civil action suit now on file at Su- perior Court and being brought against former city controller Dan iel J. Leary by the city and the Good Government association will soon enter the formal stage.
 On Monday last the city through newly assigned Attorneys w. w. Gager and Irving P. Johnson filed more specific claims on the case in which was cited the fact that many of the records required for evidence in the action are now held by MT Alcorn and not available for review
 Sources stated that these records will soon be forwarded here after being held by the states attorney for the past six or seven years.
 This move will likely end the speculation current for the past few years that MT. Alcorn planned further prosecution of the conspir- acy case relative to others allegedly involved who were not specifically named in the original indictments. This speculation ran high at the time Enoch Borgnaes auditor in- dicted in the case returned to this country, fugitive from the war rant issued for his arrest, and upon arraignment was revealed to have discussed freely with the states procutors his participation in the conspiracy. Borgnaes served one year.
 At that time MT. Acorn stated that the auditor had promised to disclose all information he had re- gard!rg the men tried by court and any others that might be pre- sented'
 The special prosecutor at that time spoke of meetings between Borgnaes, several of the accused

Cool Problem Serious

Washington. Jan. II Warning that serious coal shortage is iin- pending. War Mobilization Direc gor James F. Byrnes last night an nounced drastic conservation program which he said was the only alternative to coal rationing.
 The prgram included
 1. A ban on all outdoor adver- Using, ornamental and display light ing using electricity produced !rorl coal. This was expected to save D. 100000 tons yearly.
 ?. A plea to householders. m9n- agers or apartment and office build ings, hotels and stores to permit temperatures to go no higher than B8 degrees as a means of saving an- other 100000 tons of coal.
 3. An order to the Office of De- fense Transportation to eliminate all special and excursion trains and to freeze schedules to resort areas at the normal year-around levels, ratner than aJ the seasonal peak.

 The men from Nippon opeaJI a new bag of tricks. But damage to our ships was light, and most Of the attackers were killed.
 The enemy's Lingayen Gulf brain child might be called the human torpedo" although nothing as de- a..lIctive as q torpedo was used,
 The Japanese put number Of small boats into Lingayen Gulf be- fore dawn Wednesday. These boats were what Vice Admiral Thomas c. Kinkaid called "a lot of homemade apparatus" for damaging our ves- sels.
 Severa! kinds of explosives. rang ing from small mines to hand gre nades. were loaded onto the boats When the boats put out from Lin- gayen shore the Japanese tried to maneuver them alongside the hulls of our ships, or to hurl the eX- plosiyes at the targets
 Tn some cases the Japanese swan to our ships and tried to set off explosives. One boat mace suicide charge against an American vessel.
 The attacks continued until after daylight Some of the Japanese were seen swimming under or be- side boxes, trying to hide from view amidst the American invasion fleet.
 One or two of the Japanese at- tackers were captured Others re- fused to be taken. and threw gre nades at an American boat crew from the water.

Limited Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 Washington, Jan. II - (U.PO - B-20 Superfortresses bombed the great Japanese naval base at Singa- pore in daylight today, and an enemy communique reported dam age to military installations, the destruction of 20 or more civilian dwellings and scores" of casual ties.
 A brief War Department an- nouncement revealed that India based B-29s of the goth Bomber command attacked what were iden- tified only as military installations on the Malay Peninsula, but the Tokyo radio several hours later said the main target was Singapore.
 Another Japanese broadcast said lone Superfortresses from the Mar ianas made three nuisance raids on Tokyo itself between 9 o'clock last night and 2:40 a. m. today (Tokyo time) dropping fire bombs but caus- ing no damage.
 The raid on Singapore was the second by the 20th bomber com- mand. Last November 5, another force of the huge four -engined raid- CTS scored hits on a drydock and wrecked other installations in the strongest naval base in southeast Asia.
 A communique issued by Japanese army headquarters at Singapore, broadcast by Tokyo radio and re- corded by the EGG, said 20 Super Iortresses thundrede over the city and the adjoining Seletar district, site of large docks and naval in- stallations, about l0;50 a. m. today Singapore time)

 Paris, January II - (UP) - American Forces today captured Laroche, northern anchor of the fast shrinking ArdenneS salient from which the outmatched Germans were fading back into the Siegfried defenses beyond the border of the Reich.
 British patrols stabbed un- opposed four miles into the new spongy nose of the Bel gian bulge, and the U. s. Third Army on the south re- ported considerable German movement to the east and northeast along the roads back to Germany.
 Todays reports were the first in dicating that the Nazis were pull ing out at anything faster than a snail's pace. The exit from the costly pocket took on q briskness in keeping with the collapse of it's defenSes in key sectors all around it's rim.
 United Press Correspondent c. P. Cunningham in dispatch from It. Gen. Courtney H. Hodoges' First Army headquarters, reported the fall of La Roche at 9 a. m today after about 24 hours of street fight ing.
 Doomed Yesterday
 The road junction was one of the most important towns on the north side of Marshal Karl von Rund- stedt's salient. It was doomed yes tion by an American victory in a tank battle to the northeast, after which the Tanks speared into La Roche itself.
 The Germans pulled out sudden ly after hours of stubborn resist ance, and all at once the Ameri- cans found themselves failing at thin air. Only nine prisoners were sent back in the first hour after the fall of La Roche.

REDS OCCUPY
 MOST OF PEST
 AFTER MOP-UP
BY BRUCE W. MUNN

United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 London, January II. - (UP) - Soviet front dis patches said today that Rus sian besiegers of Budapest had occupied nearly all of Pest and the industrial island of Gospel, and a Red Army counter-blow had snuffed out Nazi hopes of breaking the ring around the Hungarian capital.
 Hungarian front reports relayed by Moscow said the critical phase of the battle had passed, and the Red Army had the situation we'll in hand.
 The raopup of Pest, the part of the capital on the east bank of the Danube, was complete except for small nests of resistance, while Ces- pei island and its 9 armament fac- tories were firmly in Russian hands.
 The failure of the German relief offensive west of Budapest was talk ell in Moscow to mean that the de- fense forces now concentrated in the hills of Buda would fight house by house and street by street, as did the defenders of Pest.
 Strategcally the Germans were in better battle position sin Buda than they were in Pest. They were en- trenched in stone houses among the hills.
 The Russians threw back two Ger man relief columns IS miles from Budapest, an dthe Nazi effort to save the survivors of the Budapest garrison appeared to have spent its force.
 Nazis Stalled
 Stalled almost in sight of the trapped Budapest garrison, the Nazl relief army itself was In danger of envelopment from the rear. Late Moscow dispatches said powerful Soviet flanking force north of the Danube had fought It's way to the outskirts of Komarno, more than 90 miles behind the German Vanguards and was threatening momentarily to cut their supply line to Austria.

Rightists and Leftists

In general, rightists are members
Of the conservative political party
while leftists are members of the
liberal or radical party. The terms
are derived from the custom in
some European countries of seating
the conservatives to the right of
the presiding officer of the legi-
slative body and the liberals or
radicals to the left of the presiding
officer. In the center sit members
of more moderate views. In this
country policies of persons or po-
litical parties OF groups are some
times referred to as tending to the
right Conservatism or to the left
Qiberalism).

Iowa Man Wins
Farming Award
John Oeser Voted Typical
Midwest Farmer of 1916 at
Festival in Yankton, S. D.

"The Typical Midwest Farmer
award for 1945 was conferred upon
John Oeser Of Westside, Iowa. The
presentation was made on Labor
Day at Yankton, S. D., before a
crowd of 2 900 people who had gath
cred for the annual "WNAX Mid
West Farmer Day." The recognition
Of the typical farmer was inaugu-
rated in 1912 as a means of honor
ing outstanding var production on
the land. Radio station WNAX and
the American Broadcasting COM
pany sponsored the festivities, in CO.
operation with the u. S. navy.
Each Of the five mid-western
states. Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska.
N. Dakota and S. Dakota nomi-
mated a typical farmer" meaning
an outstanding one, and sent him to
Yankton, S. D., for the contest.
John Oeser was chosen, not alone
for a remarkable production record,
but because of his leadership in
war and community activities. The
four runners-up, representing four
states, were also heaped with
honors and valuable prizes.
Festivities opened with an Indian
ceremonial staged on the bank of
the Missouri river. Indians in full
regalia played native music and
staged Sioux dancers. They also
took part in the mile-long parade
which was lead by the Great Lakes
naval training station band.
The whole days program was
planned to honor John Oeser. The
l945 winner, who is So years old,
was born on his Westside, Iowa,
farm. As a boy he made e deathbed
promise to his father to always keep
the land, which his father as a pi-
oneer emigrant from Germany had
plowed for the first time in the
worlds history.
Father Of Eight.
Oeser has eight children. The only
son of military age is a technical
sergeant with the marine corps,
now in the South Pacific. Two
daughters are graduate nurses.
Since the son joined the service,
Oeser has been handling all the
work on his 160-acre farm with the
help of two younger sons, Is and 10
years old.
His community record reveals
that he has been a director in the
Farm bureau, member of the school
board, chairman of drives for the
Red Cross, USO, salvage, and bond
sales.
His average corn yield in 1914 was
SO bushels per acre, with one field
over 100 bushels per acre. In 1943 his
average a SO bushels per acre.
His oats average over 60 bushels

Remove Mildew

When mildew is found on linens,
wash with soap and water and
lang to dry in a sunny spot. For
stubborn widowed areas, cover the
affected places with lemon juice
and salt, then hang in the sun. A
more drastic treatment is in order
for mildew spots that have a firm
er start. Soak white fabrics in a
sodium perborate solution of about
four tablespoons to each pint of
soapy water. This is the same So
dunn perborate commonly used as
a mouth wash.) Rinse thoroughly
and hang in the sunniest and air
lest place you can find.

Gull Stream

The Gulf Stream maintains a
course roughly parallel to the east
ern coast of the United States until
it reaches the latitude of Cap Hat
teras. Here it begins to turn east
ward, passing about 60 to 30 miles
south of Nantucket Shoals and 100
to $50 miles southwark from Nova
Scotia. From the record of bottle
papers set adrift off the east coast
of the United States and returned
here from the British Isles, it would
appear that it takes a little over q
year for an object to drift across
the Atlantic ocean.

Industrial Research
Laboratories Shaping
Future American Way
New Products, Processes
Mean Jobs, Better Living

Jobs, incomes and more, better
and cheaper goods and services for
the new era which America is now
entering will depend to a large ex-
tent upon scientific research. The
radio, television, chemical, plastic,
automobile and many other indus
tries are direct tangible benefits Of
industrial research. The television
industry, for example, has spent
more than 20 million dollars on re-
search and it is expected to pro-
vide for more than $50, 900 new jobs
which never existed before.
Other new products and services
which may be expected now in
clude:
Aviation type gasoline for automo-
biles at no extra cost.
Factory made houses with stand
ardized parts but put together &C
cording to the owners design.
Moth-resistant and non-shrinkable
wool fabrics treated at the factory
with special chemicals.
Transparent window screens that
will roll up like a shade.
Windows of polarized glass
through which the flow of light can
be regulated by turning a button.
Sulfa drugs, penicillin and other
new healing aids, plentiful and at
costs that can be met by all.
Thousands Of familiar prewar
achievements will be obsolete. Auto
mobiles, radios, washing machines,
refrigerators and similar products
will be SO greatly improved that
customers will want the new prod
ucts even though their old ones are
not worn out. This will provide
thousands Of new jobs in existing
industries in addition to those Gre
ated by new industries.
Atomic Age Coming.
American industry engages not
only in applied research but con-
tributes heavily to fundamental re-
search pioneering new knowledge
in chemistry, physics and other sci
ences.
Atomic bombs would not have
been possible except for the expert
mentation in atom smashing to
which industrial corporations con-
tributed funds, talent and new tech
biological equipment over a period
Of several years. The application Of
atomic energy to peacetime prod
ucts will come eventually.
Between the two World Wars, in
dustrial research in the United
States grew almost tenfold, from
an expenditure of 80 million dollars
in 1920 to 23.4 million dollars in 1910,
While indications point to industrial
research growing faster in the
next decade than ever before, the
shortage of technical personnel to
staff laboratories will be a serious
handicap.
Availability Of funds will be an
other important factor in the growth
of research. Decline in income from
endowments has made educational
and research foundations increas-
ingly dependent upon contributions
by industry.
