Justice was the boy who gained

Trippi was football personified as

he also rated as one Of the best

 The Munich station, which is operated by German civilians, de- nounced Lahousen as a traitor" in the course of regular weekly pro- gram last Friday night.
 The broadcast was in German and opened in the usual manner with a 15-minute review of the Nuremberg trials.
 The announcer then launched into what listeners were described as a very clever delivery of threadbare NaN propaganda slogans that were angled to discredit the entire pros ecution case against the accused German war leaders.
 Lahousen, former aide to the Ger man counter-intelligence chief, Adm Wilhelm Canaris, was attacked bS the announcer as a ''reactionary traitor" and "one of the men who caused all this misery to Germany.
 After reviewing Lahousen's teSti' mony and suggesting pointedly tha' it was worthless, the announcer de- scribed the witness as "a question able character with a very dari hackground,."

Pupils Given Dance Course
 Borough Schools
 To Open Glasses
RY NNRs. HELEN MuRPHY

Oakville, Jan. 4-Pubiic schools of Watertown and Oakville, under the direction of the Recreation Council, are starting Q project in dancing for girls. Glasses in danc- ing will be taught through Janu- ary and February and part of March.
 There will be classes three times a week in the South School Thea ter and two afternoons 6 week in Watertown. The groups will be de vided so each girl will have two one-hour classes a week. Glasses will meet between three and five. The children will be informed of definite days and hours of their group.
 The purpose of this plan is to have recreation after school during the winter months when it Is not desirable for the children to be out- doors all afternoon. But more than this, dancing Is an important part of the education of children and since there are few opportunities in these two towns, the Recreation Council has thought it important enough to offer this opportunity Through the schools.
 Beth Olson will teach these class e in Oakville and Watertown. She is in her third year of training as a dance major at Bennington Coi- lege where she has taught dancing to children. She has taught at the Ienox School in New York city end at the Huntington Camp in Syracuse, N. r. This project is a part of her work as a dance major under the college winter work peril d.
 It is hoped a large number of children will take advantage of these classes and that parents will find it important enough to have the girls stay after school on the days their classes are held. There 1s no charge to the pupils or par ents for these classes. It will be Advisable for the girls to wear szleaks to dance in since the floors are rough.
