HialleSl Court Hands Down
 Ruling in Salmon Workers,
 :. Alaska Compensation (ase

WASHINGTON, Dec 9 The Supreme Court ruled today that two groups of salmon cannery work CTS are not entitled to full bene- fits of the Alaska Unemployment Compensation law but that third group is
 Chief Justice Vinson delivered the courts 90 decision
 The Alaska act disqualifies from benefits for eight weeks a worker who is unemployed because of a labor dispute.
 The cannery workers were hired cut cf San Francisco to work in three localities in Alaska. The employers, Alaska Packers Associ- aticn, Alaska Salmon Company, and Rcd Salmon Canning Company. conducted negotiations ill San Francisco for a working agreement for the 1940 season. Negotiations failed and the workers filed claims with the Alaska Unemployment Compensation Commission.
 The Commission decided the workers were disqualified from benefits fer an eight week period. The U 5. Circuit Court in San Francisco, ruling on all appeal by the workers, said that since the oisi ute Cytr a new wage agree Inl mt occurred in San Francisco and ret physically at the Alaska plants, .hc dis lia h.cati5n d!d not apply.
 The Supreme Court found that the Alaska Salmon Company had oocidcd not to send a fishing ex- pedition to Alaska in l940 and ruled, therefore, that it's employees are entitled to benefits Of Alaska s Unemployment Compensation law
 It upheld the Commissions find ings that workers of the other two companies are disqualified from these benefits for the eight-week period.

Nazii Doeiors
 UoOn Trial
 For Murders
Charged win Conducting Brutal Experiments
 on Live Victims

NUREMBERG. Dec. 9-Brig. Gen. Tilford Taylor demanded today that B men and a woman charged with conducting brutal Nazi medi- cal experiments on live victims be condemned as murderers who poi scned the entire German medical profession under Adolf Hitler.
 Gen. Taylor opened the trial of high-ranking Nazi doctors in the same court where Hermann Goer- ing, Joachim Won Ribbentrop and other Nazi ringleaders were sen fenced to death last october. All pleaded innocent.
 In sharp, bitter tones, the Am crican prosecutor outlined his case to an all-Amerioan court and as- serted: The Third Reich died of it's own poison" The defendants, be said, contributed to that poison ing.
 "The victims oI their crimes are numbered in hundreds of thous- ands, Taylor told the court. "A handful only are still alive; few Of the survivors will appear in this courtroom
 The General declared the group operated directly under Heinrich Himler and the armed forces-and subjected Poles, Russians and Jews to fatal experiments under high altitude conditions, to sub-zero freezing, to poison injections, and to enforced drinking of sea water
 He declared the hearing was not merely a murder trial; that it's real purpose was to show the German people the experiments he outlined were fact and not fable"

The W ashington Merry -Go- Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON Diplomatic dispatches from Moscow indicate definitely that Marshal Stalin's health has had another setback. He suffered a heart attack some time in November and is now rest ing in the Crimea.
 This fact has been made the sup feet of an official report to the State Department.
 This last heart attack IS the second suffered hy the man who has so long ruled Russia. Last winter he also had to go to the Crimea to recuperate from an Ill., ness. Stalin is now 67 years oio' but has crammed more diversified lie and hardship into those years than any other world leader.
 Imprisoned and exiled to Sibsris eight times, the years have tax en their toll, and Stalin was not play acting when he held up Churchill and Truman by staying in bed one day at Potsdam.
 It is generally expected that For cign Minister Molotov will succeed Stalin.
 Note-The experience of all Am erican negotiators, from Roosevelt to Jimmy Byrnes, is that Stalin is much easier to do business with

WASHINGTON, Dec 9.-The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld the National Labor Rela- tions Board in limiting a unions power to have an employee fired from a closed shop.

BEAUTIES HINTS
Music Helps Make
Exercising Easy
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Staff Writer

How do you exercise? Do you
start corrective exercises as a last
resort. after your figure has already
sagged and spread, or are they as
much a part Of your daily routine
rs brushing your teeth? Few Of US
fall in the latter class, because the
truth is we are lazy.
One way TO make exercising
pleasure is TO do it to music. Turn
the radio TO poppy popular tunes or
vigorous marches and you'll be sur
prised how much more readily
you'll swing into the routines. Dress
comfortably in clothes that don't
hinder free movement of arms and
legs.
There is no one time Of day that
is better than any other for getting
in trim. But it is best TO set aside
the same ime daily. The housewife
may have he needed ten minutes
In the morning after the children
have left for school, but the work
ing girl will probably find 1t more
convent TO bend and stretch in the
evening. And don't exercise frantic
ally for a half hour one day. ano
then skip two days. It's the every
day persistence that wins results.

reminding herself that the restful

bothered her for months, was only
temporary relief.
1t was a holiday from reality, and
would end as all holidays end in
