Nothing like it has ever before
been seen in Hagerstown. Last Sat
urday morning, long before the sun
appeared over the eastern hills, two
big special trains consisting of four
teen coaches on one, and twelve
coaches and two large baggage cars
on the other, slid into the Western
Maryland station on West Franklin
Street. BY eight-thirty the baggage
cars were neatly packed with hun
dreds of bullying lunch baskets and
the cars loaded with more than two
thousand Pangborn Corporation en-
ployees, their families and, in the
case of unmarried employees, their
guests.
T. J. Jordan, General Passenger
Agent of the road, came up from
Baltimore to assume responsibility
for the smooth execution of train
schedules. He met with Thomas W..
Pangborn, President of the local in
duStrial corporation, upon the train
platform before the departure of the
first section and said the trains had
been given a clear track through
to Hershey l.. L. Stouffer, General
Chairman of the picnic committee,
gave the nod which sent the first
train speeding down the smooth
track.
Even the weather man changed
his recent mood to guarantee success
to the novel undertaking After a
week of sultry humid days and
nights, the threatening clouds of
Friday were blown away by cool
ing north wind and the sun shown
down in unmatched brightness up
on~a countryside unrivaled for its
green and blue mountainous beauty.
During the run to HerShey-whiCh
was completed in less than three
hours time the various committees
composed of shop and office en-
ployees-paSsed through the coaches
and distributed lolly-pops, paper
hats, horns, noise-makers and other
novelties to the children. Several
employees had brought along musi-
cal instruments and soon groups were
marching from car to car to lead the
various passengers in singing.
Under John Keplinger, the Bag
gage Committee did outstanding
work in the efficient distribution of
the lunch baskets as soon as the
train reached Hershey Park. Tables
and pavilions had been reserved for
the visitors and in short order the
vast assembly of Pangborn visitors
were enjoying their outdoor lunch
cons.
Free tickets had been given to
all picnickerS for the various rides
and refreshments. Soon both young
and old were enjoying the thrills
of the roller coasters, the toboggans,
the whips, and other breath-taking
amusements. A softbau game be-
tween the Hershey All-Stars and
the Pangborn Champions furnished
excitement for the large number in
terested in this sport. The skillful
pitching of John O'Neill, who was
credited with Is strikeouts, and a
home run by Paul Kline, brought
victory to the visitors. The score was

I'm too old for such work. Take
Bob along. He'll make good"
On the dash to the pole, Captain
Bob" as commander of the last
supporting party, had hoped to
reach the 88th parallel, 2 degrees
from the pole, but conditions were
such that Admiral Peary turned
him back at 81 degrees, IL minutes.
The admiral said later:
Il had given him the post of
honor in my command of my last
supporting party for three reasons
First, because of his magnificent
handling of the Roosevelt; second,
because he had cheerfully and
gladly stood between me and every
minor annoyance from the start of
the expedition to that day, and
third, because it seemed right to me
that. in view of the noble work Ct
Great Britain in Arctic exploration,
British subject should, next to an
American, be able to say that he
stood nearest the pole"
Only colored servant and a
dozen Eskimos accompanied Ad-
miral Peary after he left Col. Bart
let's party.
Capt. Bartlett became an Amer
lean citizen in 1910. That same
year he received a National Geo.
graphic Society Gold Medal and
accompanied Admiral Peary to Lon
don to receive a reproduction of
the special medal struck by the
British Royal Geographic Society
in commemoration of the 1909 dis
coVeries
Veteran of World War.
In 1926 Capt. Bartlett set himself
up as an Arctic specialist when he
acquired the schooner Effie M. Nor
rissey. Thereafter he made regular
expeditions to northern waters,
often in search of museum speci-
mems, but sometimes simply as
leader of boatload of students
who paid fees for the trip.
Captain Bob" saw service in the
World War as superintendent of
marine transportation and after
wards became a lieutenant COM
mander in the naval reserve.
His father, Capt. William Bart
lett, was owner of a fishing and
sealing fleet. Robert originally was
slated for the mercantile business
or a profession, but shipped on q
trader bound for Brazil and thus

Jackson Loses Move
To Bar Streicher From
Court After Clash
BY the Asaocioted Press

NUREMBERG, April 29.-Repeated
clashes between Julius Streicher and
his own defense attorney caused
Robert H. Jackson, American prose-
cutor, to demand today that the
International Military Tribunal send
the Nazi Jew-baiting editor back
to his cell" and require him to
submit the remainder of his case
in writing.
The court ignored Justice Jack
sons demand but the tribunals
president, Lord Justice Geoffrey
Lawrence, admonished Streicher to
kindly treat your counsel and this
/ tribunal with due courtesy"
The witness had complained that
his attorney, Hanna Marx, had re-
fused to submit evidence to sup
port his writings about Jewish
ritual murders"
When his attorney referred to
such writings as serious matter"
Streacher angrily interrupted with
the demand that my own counsel
must not judge me. The prosecution
can do that"
Claims Basis for Writings.
Streicher contended that lurid
accounts in his weekly paper, Der
Sturmer, of Jewish ritual murders
were based on writings current in
Germany for SO years and tolerated
under pre-Nazi regimes.
Evidence of such murders could
be found, he said, in court files in
Rome showing that the church it
self dealt with % actual cases of
non-JeWS killed in ritual murders,
and there also was case in Eng
land and one in Kiev. Russia"
Streicher also testified he never
had wanted to cause hatred or
anger against the Jews" and in
sisted that his anti-Semitic utter
anceS could not have melted mass
determination of Jews.
He calmly told the court that as
gauleiter of Franconia he ordered
/ the destruction of NuernbergS main
/ synagogue in 1888 not because it
was a Jewish place of worship but
because it was an architectural eve
sore.
/ Cites Martin Luther.
/ AS for charges that he had in
f1uenced Hitler to order the slaugh-
ter of Jews, the defendant insisted
that the Feuhrer, who gave those
orders, could not be influenced"
/ Streicher eXcitedly asserted that
an anti-Samitic press had existed
in Germany for centuries. He then
launched into dissertation on the
printings of Martin Luther, but was
interrupted by Justice Jackson, who
said the defendant was Grating on
irrevelant subjects.
Justice Jackson said Streicher had
already made an attack on the
United States The prosecutor did
not elaborate, but presumably he
referred to Streicher's testimony last
week that he was beaten and hu-
inflated by American captUs before
being brought to the Nuremberg Jail
Russian Prosecutor Objects.
Soviet Prosecutor R. A. Rudenko
objected when Streicher said Hitler
/ frequently told associates that Sta
lin was the person he worshipped
as man of action, but was sur
rounded by Jewish bolshevists'
| Streicher insisted that from 194O
until the end of the war he never
left his farm near Nuremberg and
was urder constant surveillance of
the Gestapo. Consequently, he
added, he learned nothing of the
mass killing of Jews until after his
capture by the Allies.
Il would not have believed it
technically possible to kill so many
people" he observed.

Top-leveI Conference
Due Today on Prices
OF Veterans HOUSING
BY the Assoeioted Press

A complaint that FHA is approv-
ing new homes so over priced that
eX-G1s cannot get guaranteed loans
to buy them resulted in a top-level
huddle of housing and veterans Of
flcials today.
National Housing Expediter Will
son w. Wyatt, jr., chose not to reply
Immediately to the contention of
Francis x. PaveSich, Veterans Ad-
mlnlStratlon guarantee chief, that
veterans are being forced into the
black market to get shelter.
But Mr.. Wyatt was due to confer
with Veterans Administrator Brad
ley on the problem-as he an
nounced a week ago he would-and
with Commissioner Raymond Foley
of the Federal Housing Administra-
ton.
IhlS outcome was Indicated:
l. That more detailed plans and
specifications will be required before
FILA grants priority and price ap-
proval for new dwellings.
?. That FILA will devise a system
of inspecting the homes being built
to insure that their ascribed value
will meet VAS appraisal standards
SO veterans can get Federal guar
anteeS on loans to buy them.
Officials foreSaW strong opposition
from the construction industry to
any such additional Government
control, but seemed generally agreed
the step would have to be taken
Loans can be made under the GI
Bill of Rights only when VA ap-
proves the appraisal value of the
home to be bought.
Mr.. Pavesich at news conference
last week said the ceiling prices ap-
proved by FHA in granting priorities
to builders in many cases are far
above the value of the houses that
actually are built; in fact, so far out
OF line, he said, that VA could not
guarantee CT loans and the prop
critics
Therefore. the VA official asserted.
veterans badly in need of housing
might have to do without unless they
were willing to slip the seller a
subrosa payment in excess Of the
VA-appraised value.
The possibility thus has been
opened that former GIs might be
cheated out of the dwellings built
for them in President Trumans
homes-for- veterans cam
paign. If no veteran was able to
buy such an overpriced house for
want of loan, it would become
available to civilians after 80 days.
There was an indication from one
Government official, however, that
Mr.. Pavesich had spoken without
the authority of his superior. Gen.
Bradley, even though Bradley is
known to have been concerned over
the problem. This official, who asked
not to be named. said the VA chief
was expected to issue a conciliatory
statement to heal the rift between
his agency and the FILA.
