Streicher Stricken

Nuremberg, Jan. 23-(UP)-Julius Streicher, a major defendant in the Nazi War Crimes Trial, suffered a heart attack today and was ordered to bed for emergency treatment.
 Allied prison, authorities announc- ed that the Jew-baiting Na1 gaul- eiter was stricken at 1850 p. m. to- day. They said he exhibited symp- toms suggestive of a paroxysmal tachycardia"-a violent quickening of the heart-beat-which lasted for about IS minutes.
 The official announcement said It was too early to form a diagnosis or determine whether the attack resulted from organic causes or the mental strain of the trial.
 Prison doctors indicated Streicher was in no immediate danger, but his condition was regarded as suffi- ciently serious to prevent his re- turn to the trial for some days.
 The War Crimes Tribunal. mean while, went ahead with the hearing of Strelcher's fellow-defendants and took under adyisement a request by Rudolf Hess that he be permitted to conduct his own defense for the duration of the trial.

Washington, Jan. 2S-(UP) The White House an- nounced today that the gov- ernment will seine closed meat packing plants on Saturday.
 The Agriculture Department will operate the plants. The War De- partment will assist in the seizure If necessary.
 An announcement by the White House said:
 ~The government win seize the closed meat-packing plants on Saturday, Jan. e6. The neces- sary orders for the seizure are now being prepared by the Sec retaEy of Labor.
 sSeixure win be made by the Department Of Agriculture, with the aid Of the War Department, lf necessary.
 "T'he plants win be operated by the Department 0f Agriculture"
 Charles c. Ross, White House press secretary. said these were the only details available at this time.
 To Give Strikers Time
 By waiting until Saturday to make actual seizure, the govern ment apparently was giving the 300,000 striking AFL and CIO meat packing workers and the manage nent a final chance to get together on their wage dispute.
 It still was questionable whether all of the striking meat packing workers would return to their jobs under government supervision.
 At Chicago, an official of the Clearinghouse Workers Union (CIOl which represents 100000 strikers said the CTO workers probably would insist upon a wage tncrease before returning to work for the government. AxIs union offlciall previously had said they wops work under gosernnenE seizure.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-(UPl- Gen. walter c. Short charged today that the War Department in Wash ington was wholly responsible" for the fact that the krny's Hawaiian defenses were caught by surprise in the Pearl Harbor disaster.
 The former Army commander in Hawaii told the Pearl Harbor In vestigating Committee that wash ington's responsibility relieved him of any blame.
 He said Washington headquarters had a dual responsibllity-to give him all the information it had in- dicating the possibility of an attack on Hawaii and to correct any mis- take he made in ordering merely an anti-sabotage alert on the basis of information he did receive.
 Committee Counsel Sam Kalaf- man suggested, on that basis. that although the first error is yours Washington is partly responsible.

Barnstable, Mass, Jan. g = (UP) Three prisoners escaped from the Barnstable county jail early today after slugging two guards uncon- scious with pieces of iron pipes to precipitate one of the most inten- sive Cape Cod manhunts in dozen years.
 More than 50 state and local po- lice were nobilized in a town-to- town search for the prisoners who were identified by jail oficials as:
 Augustine Barbarosa, 34, of Taun- ton.
 Herbert Boomhower, Jr, 35, of Falmouth.
