ASKS DEATH FOR LEADERS
 NAH REGIME

 Impassioned Plea
lBy James F. Kingl

NUREMBERG Jan. 17.-France asked death today for the g ring leaders of the Nazi regime and for punishment of hundreds of thou- sands of members of German ter TOT organizations.
 Francois De Mention, wounded war veteran who is the French prosecutor, denounced Hitlerism and all it stands for with fervor that brought fear to the faces of Hermann Goering and other pri- soners before the International Military Tribunal.
 Civilization requires from you after this unleashing of barbarism a verdict which will be a sort Of supreme warning" De Menthon said.
 Justice must strike those guilty of the enterprise of barbarian from which we have just escaped The reign of justice is the most exact expression of great human hope. Your decision can mark decisive state in it's difficult pursuit.
 De Mention told the court that death sentences for the leaders and verdicts of guilty for the organiza- tions can serve as a foundation for the moral uplift of the German people and the first stage in their integration into a community of free countries"
 His accusation ran the gamut of German crimes. He said of 250,000 persons deported from France only 35,000 returned

The W ashing ion. Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = When Ph l Murray and U. s. Seel President Ben Hairless sat down at the White House yesterday in another effort to head off a steel strike, they at least had one thing in common-a very poor opinion of Harry Truman's three IS" men Snyder Schwellenbach and Steel man.
 When Hairless and Murray left the White House after their long wage battle last Saturday, the steel executive invited the labor chief to get into his limousine. Then the two men rode around the block a couple of times chuckling over the way Secretary of Labor Schwellen- bach seemed jealous of John Steel man, Truman's personal labor ad- visor, and how both joggled elbows with John Snyder, the St. Louis banker. who is supposed to be the war reccnverter.
 At that particular moment, the two men who had been at the op- posite ends of the argument for weeks seemed closer together per- sonally than the three Truman ne- gotiators-though actually the days

 Navy on NegIetIing Of
 Deienses in Territory

SEATTLE, Jan. l7.-The Post Intelligencer's Washington corres- pondent today quoted Delegate Bartlett of Alaska as saying the Army and Navy had reverted to their prewar neglect of defenses there, despite the fact that Alaska holds the worlds biggest and rich est oil field and the most strategic air base sites on the planet
 The story continued
 He said he had found that the United States is conducting no de- fensive construction or planning in Alaska, despite the lesson taught by the Japanese seizure of Aleu- tian Islands in l942.
 "The demobilization of armed forces has withdrawn all Naval Seabee prospecting and test-drill- ing parties from Naval Reserve No 4, northeast of Nome, Bartlett said The work is now being performed under negotiated Naval contract by private firm, the Hoover, Curtis and Ruby Company Of New York City.
 "The company, erecting quarters for it's crews, is doing the only drilling in the vast Point Barrow area comprising the reserve of 35,- GOO square miles and a quality of oil which, even when it oozes in lakes from the ground, tests high CT than that from any other field in the world, Bartlett said.
 "The Delegate announced he is ar ranging 6 series of meetings with War and Navy Department officers to determine why the prewar policy of inaction has been resumed.
 Just as parties of Japanese off cials were conducted all over Alas- ka and to the oil field in partic,l. lar before the war, so have Russian officers and airplane ground crews had the run of Alaska since thu war started. Bartlett said
 But no American has inspected the military construction work un- doubtedly going on in Siberia. just across the Boring Strait.
 "The Delegate said that when he takes his complaint to the War and Navy Departments he will submit general recommendation for Alas kan fertilization, naval base, air. field and road development parti- cularly in relation to the Point Barrow oil field. bigger than most European countries in it's potential producing expanse."

Tn addition, the petitioning plaintiff contends that the defendant has failed to prose- cute his motion for dismissal and the Commissioner has twice denied plaintiffs motion for judgment be- cause of that failure.
 Attorney Paul now seeks to have the District Court review the case and correct what plaintiff alleges are errors by the Justice Court.

kuriIe Islands Taken
 Over by Russian Force;
 Future Status Unsettled
(By Alex H. Ingleton)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Russia was reported today to be establish ing herself firmly in the strategic Kurile Island chain flanking the approaches to Siberia.
 It was from a rendezvous in these foggy Japanese Islands that Admiral Yamamotos fleet set out in late November, l941, for it's at tack at Pearl Harbor
 Whether a peace settlement will decree the permanent amputation of the Kuriles from the Japanese Empire still remains to be decid- ed
 Occupation Complete Meanwhile, Government officials here in a position to know, said that Russia already has sent in troops with 'bag and baggage and their families-apparently for a long stay. These officials cannot be identified by name. Agreement upon Russian occupation of these islands, stretching like a giant scimitar across the entrance to the sea of Okhotsk, was reached at the Potsdam conference.
 Back in the last century there was some dispute between Russia and Japan as to the ownership of these barren islands, but in 1875 Moscow officially recognized Jap ans title to the Kuriles.
 It appeared likely that President Truman had the Kuriles in mind Tuesday when he told his news conference it was not necessarily true that the United States would be alone in seeking independent control of former enenfy y-held is lands.
 Possession of KuriIes
 But it remains at least tempor- arily uncertain whether Russia will lay it's claim to the Kuriles form ally before the United Nations, as the U. S. plans to do with key Pa cific bases won in the war.
 Three courses apparently are open for ultimate disposition on the Kuriles:
 l. Settlement by a separate Rus so-Japanese treaty.
 2. Action at a peace barley in which all the Allies against Japan would participate.
 3. Inclusion in a United Nations general settlement on the future status of Pacific Islands formerly held by Japan.
 Tn all three cases, it seemed cer- tain that Russia will argue as great a justification for sole ten ancy of the Kuriles as that of the United States for other Pacific Is- land bases.
 Navy's Viewpoint
 This country, at least publicly, has not listed the Kuriles as among the islands regarded as necessary to its defense. Naval quarters, how ever, have expressed belief that some of the Japanese operations against the Aleutians originated from this chain of islands. Japan ese installations on the Kuriles were bombed by air and pounded by sea heavily .during the latter part of the war

CLUB NEWS

This is the time for all All club
girls to try their hand at arranging
flowers. So many flowers are bloom
ing now and the blooming season
will be longer if they are cut regul-
arly. Cutting and arranging the
blossoms is interesting work and we
all enjoy the cheer and fragrance
that cut flowers bring into the home
Here are some helpful hints in
cutting and arranging flowers:
l. Cut flowers early in the morning
with long stems. 2. Cut the stems
with a sharp knife, making a slant
ing cut. 3. Plunge stems of cut flow
ers into deep water for 2 hours after
cutting. 4. If somewhat wilted, flow
ers will revive if completely covered
with cool water for an hour. S. Strip
all leaves from the stems that would
be under water in vase. 6. Clean
vases should be used at all times.
z. Use a flower container that is
large enough to hold the flowers
without crowding them. Avoid vases
having bright gaudy decorations and
narrow openings. Low bowls or me-

.Crawfish Eradication
Program Planned

A crawfish eradication demonstr.
alton using D d t, held by HID
Marlborough, assistant county agent
in Monroe county, on the Henry
Craig farm at Prairie, resulted in
300 crawfish killed on one acre,
for less than So.
On each acre of the infested cot
ton being treated, Mr.. Marlborough
scattered one bushel of cottonseed
soaked in 2 Y percent solution of
D d T. The next day he reported
that he found 300 dead crawfish on
an acre of the treated land and no
crawfish on the untreated land.
He made another check on this
project 10 days later which showed
only 4 stalks of cotton left on 108
steps of row space on the untreated
land. On the treated area he found
81 stalks on 20 steps of row space.
Mr.. Craig says that he is well
pleased with these results and has
treated other fields. He especially
recommends the treating of infested
land since the cost is under So. an

diminished upright vases with open
mouths and colored light blue, gray
green, brown, tan or black are best.
Clear glass often gives good effects.
8. A rule to remember--use only l to
4 kinds of flowers in each bouquet.
8. Another rule to remember--the
longest stem in the vase should
place the top flower about one and
one-half times the height of the vase
above the top of the container in a
tall vase or and one-half time
the width of the container for a low
bowl. 10. Place buds and small flow
ers at top and large open flowers at
the bottom. II. Place light colored
flowers at top and darker ones at
bottom. IL. A few don'ts: Don't
crowd the flowers . Don't let stems
cross. Don't use asparagus foliage,
rather use natural foliage. Don't use
clashing colors together as red and
yellow. Don't use tall vase on the
mantel or piano. Don't use more
than two bouquets in each room at
one time. 10. Place upright on
low desks, tables or low end tables,
window seats or low shelves. Low
bowls may be used on the mantel or
other higher locations.
