I. From Rain In Spain

MADRID. - Spain's rainiest
spring in recent years has
brought the country out of the
worst drought of the century.
The Importance of the drought
is measured by two losses for
the year: two-thirds of the nor
NAL wheat crop, and one-fourth
the electric power. Loss of the
wheat brought the bread ration
down to $50 grams a day, one of
the lowest in bread-starved Eu-
rope. Loss of the power meant
that an estimated $280,000, 900
worth of goods could not be
manufactured.
Beginning toward the end of
1943, the dry period forced some
power restrictions early in 1914.
In May, IL per cent cut was
ordered in industrial power con-
sumption in the mining, metal
lufgicaI and shipbuilding area
around Bilbao. Serious restric-
tions in Catalonia - Barcelona
and its region, SPANS greatest
industrial district-began in Sep
TENDER.
In 1914 crops did not suffer
heavily from the dry weather,
except in some regions. But seri-
Gus difficulties came with 1945.
In the Catalonian zone factories
had to close three days a week
by the end of January, and in
the Bilbao area complete stop
page of factory work was en-
forced for nine days. Both zones
were forced to halt industrial
power supplies three and four
days week during the second
half of 1945.
The power produced in Spain
for the year 1915 was 4,O66,000,-
600 kfloWatt hours, 70 per cent

.USO Dance
NV MARIPoSA HAYES

The attractive outdoor patio
of the Jackson Square USO was
the scene of much gayety and
glamour Monday night! The oc-
casion was the Girl of the
Month Dance. At each of these
monthly affairs, the young host
ess who has given the greatest
number of volunteer hours to
USO work receives a prize. This
month the award goes to Miss
Rose Ann Dingle whose picture
will go in the 'Rogues Gallery
and will appear in the new USO
publication planned to appear
soon.
There was an elaborate floor
show staged by Program Director
Pinder who, by the way, took
part in the show himself as Mas
ter of Ceremonies and escort to
the lovely ladies as they paraded
in formation, showing their
flowing evening gowns. The col
ored lights playing across the
patio lent an air of fiesta with
moonlight and palms! There was
croon-singing by Doren Cruz and
also by a member of the orches-
ira. land Gerald Pinder gave us a
grand professional tapEdancet
Frank Gay Adams, new popu-
lar manager of the Jackson
Square USO, stayed over especi-
ally to see the show presented by
his, staff and shostesses and
thoroughly enjoyed the splendid
music, offered by the boys of the
USS Howard w. Gilmorel There
was much less "jitter-bugging"
which was a relief as it hardly
goes with such lovely evening
gowns in so distinguished a set
ting.
Several of the staff members
of the Woman's Division were in
vited, for these two USO chap
tiers cooperate in grand team
work to give real entertainment
and good influence for all the
servicemen stationed here in this
tremendous military base-which
has become a strategic and most
important center where USOs are
needed from every point of view.

CLEANLINESS MUST BE

Editor, The Citizen:

Editor, The Citizen:
Healthful environment is the
first requirement in the building
of a strong nation. The nation
which Is physically unfit is very
soon mentally unfit, since a
sound mind cannot dwell in an
unsound body.
The citizens of Key West are
happy that efforts are being
made TO have our city among the
clean, healthful, beautiful COM
munlties of Florida; and they are
appreciative of the fact that our
sanitary department is insisting
that all contribute toward keep
ms the city clean. Paradoxical,
however. is that efforts are made
% remove trash and filth from
some portions of the city while
other portions are neglected. Key
West cannot be a clean, health
ful, beautiful city so long as
there Is a pile of trash or filth
in front of a single yard. So long
as there is an unsightly spot in
the city, the city is unsightly.
Trash is permitted to accumu-
late from week to week in GER
tain sections of the city, yet all
persons are required to pay trash
removal fees. Recently a citi-
xcn was told that she would have
a. talk to the judge" if she
failed TO pay So for the upkeep
og the Scavanger service; yet in
her front yard the trash contain
er IS running over with trash
which she most certainly does
not appreciate seeing.
Not only is the trash pile con-
trary 20 her appreciation of es-
thetic values, but it is directly in
opposition to her sense of .sani-
iary values. She is aware that
flies which breed in trash piles
Ia neglected portions of the city
may carry poliomyelitis germs,
typhoid germs, or the germs of
any disease into the more favor
sd sections from which the

In that way, Fort Worth, Texas,

BY RUSSELL KAY

With the state till full and run
ming over, legislators looked for
ward to the widest stampede for
state funds that any legislature
has heretofore experienced.
Senator Walter w. Rose of Orlan-
do called for an intelligent tax
revision program and the elimin-
alton of dual and overlapping
activities of boards, bureaus and
commissions.
Representative r. Bum Gaut-
Ter of Miami advocated a joint
House-Senate committee to work
on an overall and coordinated
tax program relating to local sub
divisions of government" Adj
hitting that such a committee
might overlap some of the work
of the Governors Citizens Tax
Committee. he and other legisla-
tors viewed their approach as
mere practical.
Backing up Gautier's sugges-
ton, Representative Perry Muir
ray of Frostproof said, at is
really going to be a grab bag;
that is why coordination by such
a committee will be vital"
Skepticism was widespread
about the blueprint for a 36-block
Capitol Center, on which the
Governor has set his heart. Most
first things should come first, and
Representative Murray admitted
that while there was undoubtedly
need for increased space in Talla-
hassee he looked on the present
ambitious plan as alarming.
All indications pointed to the
1947 Legislature as an extremely
independent body. Certainly il
won't be Governors Legislature
and there was plenty of evidence
of hostility to administration
plans. Speaker elect Representa-
tive Thomas D. Beasley of De-
| Funiak Springs, sounded a key
note when he said, I'm willing
to cooperate with the Governor
on any reasonable proposal, but
he owes me nothing and I owe
him nothing"
Altogether the caucus can be
termed successful and worth

Complete Trial Needed
To Legally Outlaw War
BY BAUKHAGE
News Analyst and Commentator.

Answer: Because this trial is not
merely trial of handful of inter-
national criminals. These evil viii
lains are only a small part of the
drama, even if it is they, and not
what is behind their castigation,
which sometimes still produces
headlines The trial is great proc
ess of legal Recommendation.
1t is the recording of history, for
the first time in history, of history
written in blood, and ink hardly
yet dry. 1t must be a complete rec
ord; the record of a. crime which,
until it is so recorded, may never
be admitted as crime in the eyes
of international statesmen and
lawyers.
The Allied military tribunal Top
GRAFTON justice, as it was known in
the army was planned, and is be-
ing conducted to it's long and appar-
emily infinite end for the purpose of
blueprinting a legal precedent for
holding as punishable criminals, the
heads of states who plot and carry
out aggressive warfare.
That is the answer to question
one.
Question two: Are they ever 60
ing to convict these fellows? an
swered that in part when I said
that the proceedings were far
more than the trials of the defend
ants who sit daily in the prisoners
dock of the court house at Nuern-
berg, or in their lonely cells near
by.
And for those who fear that JUS
tice will be cheated, let me say that
most of those men, if it cannot be
established that they took official
part in the planning and execution
of an aggressive war, are probably
wanted on other charges in local
courts. If they 60 free from Nuern-
berg, the local courts will try them,
as the "Beast of Belsen" and 9TH
ers were tried and convicted for
their separate and private crimes.
It is possible, for instance, that
the sadistic, degenerate Streicher,
Jew-baiting wielder OF a jewelled
whip that was symbol of his psy-
Ghosts as well as an instrument Of
his perverse desire, will not be con-
victed by the INIT. He is so low
that his fellow prisoners won't
speak to him; so crooked that even
when he was a Gauleiter, he
couldn't be trusted to sign single
order of national or international
significance. He finally stole so
much from the Nazi party itself that
he was incarcerated.
The Nuremberg trials will con-
tinue until the record is completed.
Justice will not be cheated. And it
is to be hoped that aggressive war,
on the basis of the proceedings Of
this court, will become illegal. How
can the United Nations hope to out
law war unless they establish with
sword, scales and woolsack that
war is illegal?

TO SAVE FORESTS
Helicopters for Forest Fires?

fire-suppressants would not become
available until summer, members
of the party said. Like the helicop-
ter experiment, it was approved in
principle by the army last October.
March Fields own search and res
cue unit, to which the helicopter
pilots are attached, is headed by
Maj. Fred w. Milan of Meron, Ind.
Besides the rotary planes, the unit
equipment includes two Bits, five
twin-engined advanced trainers and
four Cub-type spoilers. Their
movements are guided by the res
cue control center at North Holly
wood.
Americas annual loss through
forest fires is staggering. Each
year thousands of acres of natural
forests are lost through fire, largely
because fre-fighters cannot reach
the blaze to put it out before it
spreads over a large area.

WAR CRIMINALS:
Look for Loophole

Brought to book by the Allies
international war crimes tribunal in
Tokyo, former Premier Hideki Tojo
Immediately challenged his indict-
ment on IS counts on grounds that
the Potsdam declaration did not
provide for the charges set forth.
AS Tojo's attorney, Ichiro Kiyose
declared that the Potsdam agree
ment did not specify political activ-
ity as war criminality and speeches
by President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Churchill had limited the
meaning to war atrocities. Since
the principle that militaristic politi-
cal activity constituted war GRIM
inality originated at the Nuremberg
trials, Kiyose argued, it could not
be applied to terms of the Potsdam
declaration under which Japan sur
rendered.
Named with TOTO were 27 other
top prewar leaders charged with
starting the war, conspiring for
world domination and atrocities
against prisoners and internees. In
pushing the indictments, U. S.
Prosecutor keenan, declared they
were based on the principle that
political leaders who plotted the
execution of war shared joint re-
sponsibility with the rank and file
who carried on operations.

FOREIGN MINISTER'S:
Reich Curb

When Secretary of State Byrnes
presented the U. S. plan for 25-
year control of Germany to the
Paris conference of foreign minis
tiers, he reiterated this governments
determination to prevent postwar
military revival of the reich similar
to that which occurred after World
War /.
Definitely committing this coun-
try to active control over Germany
to assure international security, the
proposal would link the U. S., Brit
ain, Russia and France in treaty
calling for complete rehabilitation
and demilitarization of the reich;
elimination of it's munitions indus
tries and arms imports, and periodic
inspections to check on observance
of regulations.
In proposing the 25-year treaty,
which could be renewed for an
additional Is years at the date of its
expiration, the U. S. took the initi-
ative in seeking to relieve Premier
Stalin's fear of a revived Germany.
Because of Russia's apprehensions
over future German aggression,
Moscow insisted upon the formation
of a friendly Polish government to
act as military buffer in the west
and has worked for the economic
and military integration of the Bal
kan states.
Byrnes' historic proposal
shadowed other important de-
