 CRIMINALS
 GET BUSY
Read Indictments, Study Charges by Daylight
 in Their Cells
By GEORGE TUCKER

NUREMBERG, Oct. s20-The Nazi leaders who face trial as war crirn- inals were up at dawn this morning and looked like collegians cramming for final examinations as they dug into their indictments.
 That's the most studious group I ever saw" one guard commented.
 The top-ranking Nazis read even during breakfast. As there were no electric lights in their cells and since the indictments were served late yesterday, this was the first chance they had to study the charges.
 , Only Field Marshal Hermann Goering seemed to have completely detached attitude as he stretched out on his bed in what appeared to be deep thought. Asked if he had made any decision regarding his counsel" the fomer LuftWaffe chief replied, "I'll think it over a while" "
 T don't see how you can make a law after things have been done, '' protested Dr.. Robert Ley, former head of the German Labor Front Even God first made the ten con- mandments and judged people by them afterwards.

UPRISING IS BLOODY,
 VENEZUELA
Revolutionary Junfa Tight ems Grip : Military
 Clique 0usted
By c. ALLEN STEWART

CARACAS, Venezuela, Oct. 20-A revolutionary junta frightened it's grip on oil-rich Venezuela today after unseating President Isaias Medina Angarita in a bloody up- rising which cost 50 lives and left 100 wounded.
 The seven-man junta, which promptly promised general cleo tion by direct, secret vote, an- nounced it would follow a pro- democratic policy.
 The junta came into power after young army officers, ranging from the rank of major down, rebelled against the Andinos, a western military clique which had domi- mated national politics for century.
 tBogota dispatches said the An dinos still claimed control of the western states of Tachira, Merida and Trujillo Whether these states possessed sufficient armed strength to threaten counter-revolution was called "conjectural." Persons with a knowledge of Venezuelan politics predicted the Andinos will never voluntarily back down.
 President Medina and Gen. Eleazar Lopez Contreras, former president who had announced his candidacy for the 1946-5l presi- dency, were reported under arrest and scheduled to face a swift trial.
 (Bogota advices, quoting Caracas radio, said the trial would be on charges of graft and fraud. They added that the former government leaders would be given an oppor- tunity to explain the source of their fortunes publicly)
 A state of seize existed in Car acas, which had been isolated from the rest of Venezuela. Newspapers were censored, radio stations closed, transport paralyzed and electric current shut off
 Achievements from lnsurgent- held Maracay, 30 miles east of the capital, were reported enroute to restore order. Thousands of armed civilians began to look Caracas homes shortly after the Medina Government fell.
 Members of the junta which con- trolled the capital were said to be Dr. Romula Betancourt, member of the Democratic Action Party; Maj Carlos Delgado Chalbaud and Capt Cardona, son and nephew, respectively, of the late Delgado Chalbaud, who spend many years in prison during the dictatorship of the late Juan Vincente Gomez, greatest of the Andinos, Luis Bel tran Preito; Dr. GonZalo Barrios; pr. Raul eLoni and pr. Edmundo Fernandez.

 Digging into the records, the City Council uncovered the not so start ling fact that only 84 members of Juneau's pooch population are wear ing license tags this year.
 The delving into the dusty docu- ments to reveal the current naked mode among the mutts was insti- gated by tangy titbit of mail from an irate resident of the Fosbee Apartments.

NORTHWEST
 AIR ROUTE
 DEMANDED

WASHINGTON. Oct. 20. - The tremendously expanding" industrial development of the West demands direct air connections to the Orient via Seattle, the Civil Aeronautics Board was told today.
 All members of the Washington State delegation joined In q letter to the board. urging that the pro- posed overseas air routes via An- chorage, Alaska, to the Orient and direct to Hawaii be routed via the Seattle Tacoma gateway.
 The CAB examiner has recom- mended routes to the Orient from New York via Chicago and An- chorage and via San Francisco and Hawaii.
 The Washington delegation ar- gued that the Seattle Hawaii route is shorter than the Central Pacific route and that Seattle terminal instead of Chicago will give better service to passengers and shippers from coastal and mountain States of the West.
 Oral argument in the case begins October 29.

NAVY WELCOME
 PLANS PLAGUE CITY FATHERS

Juneau will hang out the flags for Fleet Week-but that's about all the City Fathers undertook to do. at the council meeting last evening.
 Caught short by the unexpected ness of the Navy visit, only a few days hence, the mayor and coun- cilmen turned to members of the audience connected with service clubs and the Chamber of Con- merce for way out.
 Chamber President Dr. William M. Whitehead, and Rotarians Jack Fletcher and the Rev. G. Herbert Hillerman agreed, in ducking re- sponsibility for taking over charge of preparations for welcoming the navy vessels coming here. They pleaded too little time to get their respective groups organized for the job.
 It was suggested by Dr. White head that other groups generally in closer contact with servicemen, such as the USO and AWVS, take the lead in arranging the greeting and entertainment for the officers and bluejackets. USO Director Zach Gordon was promoted for the Fleet Week chairmanship, with all organizations represented at last nights meeting promising their support and willingness to do what ever the man-in-charge may call on them for.
 Mayor Ernest Parsons finally shouldered the responsibility of seeing that the navy won't be left at sea.

2,00O JAP WAR CRIMINALS FACE TRIAL
The Washington
 Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-Here are the in- side reasons why soldier resentment flared last week when Senators Russell and George of Georgia in duced a docile Secretary of War to discharge Sgt. Charlie Trippl, ace football player, so he could go back to the University of Georgia.
 Sgt. Trippi had exactly fl points 29 of them for service Gall of 1t in the USA) and 12 points for one child. He had taken a business administration course at the Uni versity of Georgia, and typed 35 words a minute at the time he entered the service.
 In the army, clerk typist only has to write 25 words a minute to qualify, and today the chief bottle neck in discharges is clerical help Many soldiers with 70 points or more have had to stay in the army in order to help speed others through the line.
 Despite this, football star Trippi was released on the ground that he was surplus" under Army Regulation 615-365, paragraph 3B on Discharge of Surplus Per sonnel." In other words, Trippi was declared surplus" despite the fact that he was a qualified clerk and despite the fact that clerks are badly needed at Drew Field, Fla, where he was stationed.
 Actually, Drew Field has a slow record for the release Of men. Men with 70 points were supposed to be discharged beginning Oct. l, but up until Oct. 13, only one man with 10 points had gotten out. Things moved so slowly that the War Department queried d Drew Field as to why they weren't re- leasing 7O-point men, and the one single, solitary 70-point man dis charged before Oct B enabled the field brass hats to reply that they WE'RE releasing men in this cate gory.
 Meanwhile, men with TO points are still working in the Drew Field separation line pushing the dis charges of others because of the shortage of clerical help, while typist Trippi, with Il points, goes back to play football-thanks to the Secretary of War and the two Senators from Georgia.
 (Note - Hundreds of air force gunners have been taken off flying status, although gunnery is about all they have been trained for, and are now sweating through close- order drill They, more than many others, are surplus, but they don't get out to play football. On the other hand, War Department offi- cials say that Secretary Patterson was indignant that soldier should be kept in the army just to play football. It happens that other members of the Third Air Forces team at Drew Field were star foot- ballers, never sent overseas, but kept in this country. The navy, as well as other army camps also have built up virtual professional football teams. Secretary Patterson believes this should end.
