Cortes Bones Stir Old Dispute

politician general who sought gold
and adventure in the New World was
master of strategy. That his
methods were cruel and avaricious,
with no regard for Aztec culture, is
also matter of record.
On November 18, 1918. fernando
Cortes sailed from Cuba with 10
vessels, 600 soldiers, 18 cayalrymen
and few pieces of artillery. AL
most Immediately his superior at
tempted to call him back and cam
celed his commission, but Cortes
pushed on. He landed in Mexico
and founded the city OF Veracruz,
having himself elected its captain
general.
| Playing upon the doubts and fears
of the people, Cortes soon reached
the capital where he held the Aztec
king, Montezuma, for ransom. Fl.
When Cortes learned that the
king had sent force to attack Vera
cruz, Montezuma was compelled to
deliver up his secret task force.
Cortes burned them all at the stake.
Then he learned that Spanish ex-
pedition was on its way from Cuba
to deprive him of his command. So
Cortes marched east, defeated his
countrymen and returned, strength
er7ed tn the caDital.
/ Luck and Courage Filled
Mexican Force With Awe
| There he found the MeSicans in
revolt. Infuriated hordes of In
dians swarmed to obliterate the
Spaniards, but incredibly Cortes
managed to withdraw again to the
coast. His luck and courage filed
the Mexicans with baff1ed awe.
On July Z. 1920, an unexpected
victory on the plains of Otumba
completely turned the tables. Cor
tes broke the back of effective re-
sistance and consolidated his con-
quests with bloody ferocity that
drove the Indians to despair and
new revolt.
Then, the usual payoff.
Though he had won rich treas
ury for his country, Cortes found
himself showed asice when he f1n-
ally returned to Spain.
/ He died on December 2, 1547, and
/ his body was buried in a family
vault at Seville. However, his son
brought it to Mexico City in 1862 for
Iinterment in the Monastery OF San
Francisco.
K There it remained until the Mexi-
cans freed themselves from Spain
undoing Cortes' work. But the cas-
ket's secret removal to hiding
place that was not found until this
year prevented any desecration OF
the conqueror's remains.

ventional freighters can clear the
port authorities.
The business will receive further
impetus when postwar planes de-
signed as cargo carriers reach the
market.
These ships will have big doors
at truck level when parked, cargo
laoists, heaters and removable re-
frigerating compartments. New
packaging methods are being de-
veloped to cut weight and preserve
moisture content.
Expansion Of air cargo IS being
encouraged by the armed services
to develop the technique and pro-
vide self-sustaining fleet of car
riers which could be pressed into
service overnight to defend the Ma
ton from attack in the future.

Recovering Stolen Art
VT Adolf Hitler and his deputy,

VT Adolf Hitler and his deputy,
Martin Bormann, are still alive,
they are probably hiding in
the Austrian Alps or Southern
Bavaria.
So thinks the United States Army
officer, under whose direction Ernst
Kaltenbrunner, No. 2 boss of the
Nazi Security Police, was captured in
Austrias Salzkammergut Mountains.
Not only did Maj. Ralph E. Pear
son, now chief of the Information
Office, National Guard Bureau, War
Department; and his command, re-
cover "half billion dollars worth
of the worlds finest art" in a salt
mine at Alt Aussee, Austria, but
they captured Kaltenbrunner at q
mountain lodge nearby. Maj. Pear
son now lives at 400 South Cherry
street, Falls Church, Va, and is on
duty in the Pentagon.
There were persistent rumors
early in 1945 that Hitler and Bor-
mann were coming to Alt Aussee,
the major said. Hitler Youth made
regular trips into the mountain
ranges near there all spring, carry
ing food and supplies. The Minister
President of Bavaria later reported
he thought Bormann might be in
the area and Snecial no1jce details
were organized to hunt for him, but
without success.
Mrs. Rudolf Hess was living near
the mountains in Southern Bavaria
in late 1945, the major recalled.
Hitler had mountain lodge in
Landkreis Sonothen, the southern
tip of Germany, which pushes down
into Austria, west of Salzburg and
Berchtesgaden, he said.

which was declared to be that OF
Cortes could be seen for the first
time since those v,,o carried 1t of
had secretly immurc:' it in the cap
ital's ancient Hospital de Jesus.
But though the bones OF Cortes
have been found, the question OF his
position in Mexican history con-
tinues to be disputed. BY and large
those OF Spanish inclination are
pro- Cortes, while the more revolu-
tionary, nationalistically minded
Mexicans preserve the grudge which
their ancestors bore, him. 1t has
been remarked that nd public monu-
ment to the conqueror stands In oil

Insiders and the public alike came
to an Immediate, happy conclusion:
"Teleyision is wonderful for special
events-for ship launchings, prize
rights, yacht races, football and
baseball games and the like"
They were right, but what about
regular programs? What could be
shown when there were no special
events available? In short, what
was going to be television's daily
bread and butter?

television programs still are look

only increase strikes.
The warfare of the year fell into
four phases.
/. Strikes of CIO factory workers
in January and February.
2. The AFL coal strike of April
and May and the railroad strike OF
May 1925.
8. CIO and AFL maritime strikes
in September and October.
4. The AFL coal crisis of Novem-
ber and December.
Wage Drive Now in Progress.
The main issue in the disputes
was higher wages. There were two
big wage drives. The first was
largely complete by summertime
The second is in progress.
Labor leaders argued that both
drives were necessary to keep the
financial status of workers from &C.
ing backward.
Last winter the CIO wanted in
creases in hourly rates to restore
weekly earnings (take-home pay)
to wartime levels. These earnings
had been cut when overtime hours
were Topped off.
This winter, unions demand in
creases to Offset the higher cost OF
living.
Business leaders argue that the
wage raises early in 1916 were the
main factor in pushing prices up
And now they say that If wages are
raised again, prices must go up
again. The CIO last winter-and
now says again-that profits are
high enough for corporations to
raise wages without raising prices.
Figures on 1916 Warfare.
Here are the figures that show
the warfare of 1916:
There were about 112 ,225 900 man
days of idleness in companies where
stoppages occurred (''stoppage'
means strike or lockout, lockouts
were small portion of the totaD
This broke the previous record OF
38 ,025 900 man-days in 1945.
The 1916 idleness was about LAP
per cent of the total amount Of time
that normally would have been
worked during the year. The old
record was AT per cent, also in 1915.
About 4,650,000 workers were in
volyed in the 1946 stoppages. This
broke the long standing 1919 record
of 4;160, 900 workers.
The above totals for this year are
based on Cd the figures of the
Bureau of Labor Statistics .tBLS)
for the first 10 months and (2) the
estimates of this reporter for No
vember and December, for which
BIS figures are not yet available.
In estimating the number OF
strikers, you count the same man
twice if he struck twice. Thus the
soft-coal miners were counted twice
(By the way, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics says the soft-coal indus
try has only about $4,000 workers

he wanted to start an anti Russian

in restoring the glory of Germany.
From that picturesque resort
country, Kaltenbrunner was taken
before the International War Crimes
Tribunal at Nuremberg. In Novem-
ber, 1945, he was stricken with a
brain hemorrhage and so was abb
sent from the opening Of the trial.
Kaltenbrunner Claims
AS Peace-Seeker Failed
In a month he appeared in the
prisoners dock, protesting his inno-
cence. The former Vienna police
chief claimed that he had secretly
negotiated for peace with the
United States Ofice of Strategic
Services in Switzerland. Kalten-
Drummer also contended he was in
contact with Allen Dulles, brother
of John Foster Dulles, prominent in
the United Nations. But Kalten-
brunner's claims were in vain. He
died with the rest of the Na1 crimi-
mails.

city government at Middletown,
