Following the election OF officers
the club heard a talk by James

Physically Handicapped Veterans
in which he pointed out that there
are 1900 disabled veterans IN
North Carolina with another 2,ooo
ready to leave hospitals and pom
an increasing labor market within
the next six months.
Massenburg, himself a disabled
veteran, told the Kiwanians that
a rehabilitation of employers IS
needed rather than a rehabilitation
of returned servicemen. He then
clarified his statement by saying
that employers should examine
what is left of the handicapped
veteran, not what is lost.
Praising the work of the USES
offices in obtaining Jobs for dis
abled veterans, the speaker said
that H. M. Hinkle, manager OF the
local USES office, has successfully
placed 243 handicapped men in

time, he said, there are POI dis
abled veterans on file here who
seeking jobs.
The speaker, whose address was
much appreciated by the mem

WIFE OF ADMIRAL
REPORTED MISSING
Condemned Nazi Alarmed
Over Fate OF Mate And
Russian Guard

NUREMBERG, Germany, Oct. 8
-W.D - Prison officials disclosed
Wednesday that the wife Of former
Nazi Grand Admiral Erich Raeder
has been missing since Sept. 26
when she left Berlin with a Russian
escort to visit her husband in the
Nuremberg jail.
Army Security Officer Major
Frederick Teich said Raeder, SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment by the
war crimes tribunal, was worried
and depressed" by the mysterious
disappearance of his wife.
Frau Raeder repeatedly left Ber-
lin with the Russian guard to take
advantage of the security offices
ruling that wives of convicted Nazis
could pay them one last visit be-
fore they are hanged or sent away
to serve their prison sentences.
Fantastic Theories
Teich, reporting on the condi-
ton of the other prisoners, said
former Nazi Slave Labor Boss Fritz
Sauckel, sentenced to hang, has be-
come a mental case" He said
Sauckel has spent the time in his
cell propounding scientific theories
which are ''both inuque and fan
tastic."
He said Sauckel recommended
Harvesting the North Sea winds
to drain the sea and make the
ocean floor available for farming.
He also recommended that Ger
many abandon steam and deisel
engines in favor of sailing vessels
because of the country's coal and
metal shortage.
Sauckel also believes that his
death sentence resulted from the
mistranslation of a single sentence
in the evidence against him, which
showed that he would squeeze the
most out of foreign workers at the
least possible cost" Sauckel, Teich
said, has written lengthy letters
to the international tribunal about
that point.
Teich said Hermann Goering,
also sentenced to hang, has become
completely shattered and broken
in spirit but he receives no symathy
from his fellow prisoners. On the
other hand, the prisoners are SYM
pathetic toward Alfred Jodl and
feel that his request fo- a soldiers
death by the firing squad instead
of the gallows should be granted.
The prisoners are hostile toward
Keitel, however, on the grounds
he forfeited consideration because
he "overstepped the bounds Of
military Codes" Teich said.

In 40 cities meat supplies ranged

nearly adequate quantities OF some
types of meat in others.

Dispatch gave this picture of the
British diet under rigid rationing
and price control:
The ~ cent weekly meat ration
must include a four cent slice of
corned beef, but there is a also a
three ounce hunk Of bacon. Even
dried eggs are scarce and the in
dividual allotment of fresh eggs
has been about five a month. Non
priority milk drinkers get one
quart a week, but children and
others get more.
Each individual is allowed one
ounce of cooking fat, three of but
ter and three of margarine each
week, plus eight ounces of sugar.
Vegetables, recently released from
control, have skyrocketed in price.
Toilet paper is scarce. The soap
ration of sever ounces a week is
sometimes hard to get.
Here r typical reports from
some of the Al cities surveyed
here:
Portland, Me-: Meat has virtual
ly disappeared from the shops.
Shortening is extremely scarce.
Fish sales are up rs percent.
Portland, Ore: The demand for
lamb exceeds supply because other
meats are scarce Poultry and
eggs are short. Portland house
wives have a terrific case of
washday blues" because of the
soap shortage. Toilet tissue short.
Miami, Fla: Meat shortage criti-
cal, except plenty livers, while
cattle growing areas of state are
getting steak dinners for 81. Soap
is an under-the-counter item. A
new store advertising ~scarcities
was mobbed. The stock lasted one
hour.
Los Angeles, Calf: Meat supply
is about 10 percent of normal,
with 1000 retail markets out of
1850 in Southern California outside
of San Diego county closed.
Shelves are practically bare of
soap, shortcomings and cooking oils.
Boise, Idaho: No shortage of
beef, lamb, sugar, butter, but GER
tain cuts of pork are scarce. A
food mart advertising soap and
shortening could serve only rs per-
cent of the customers and a show
case was broken in the rush.
Washington, D C.: A shipment
of sugar brings housewives from
all over the neighborhood to line
up. Fresh meats appear not in

quickly. Mayonnaise and soap
scarce.
New York: Sugar is unobtain-
able, r%efineries are shutting down
and bakeries are faced with the
possibility that no more pastries
can be made shortly. Meat and
soap in extremely short supply.
Chicago: Favored customers get
some meat, with what little is left
going to early shoppers. Some
butches pre-wrap packages which
customers purchase unseen. Toilet
