Two Sealed Vans, Under Heavy Guard, Garry Re-
 mains Out of Prison

NUREMBERG, Oct Is. = Two sealed vans sped out of Nuremberg prison under armed escort at 530 am. today carrying the bodies of suicide Hermann Goering and his ten hanged satellites.
 Where the bodies were taken will remain a secret, Captain Samuel Binder of the Security Police de- tail declared emphatically.
 They went to nameless graves somewhere, and it is a good guess part of the journey was by plane.
 The trucks were protected by two jeeps filled with military police and brandishing submachine guns. Also in the parade was long black automobile and sitting in it was a Brigadier General.
 The convoy left at breath-taking speed and doubled back and forth over Nuremberg until finally head ing for Furth, where there are two Army airiields. Both fields were dark and none of the few attend ants seemed to know anything un- usual was going on.
 The convoy turned toward Err langer, where there is another Army airfield. Military police threw up road blocks throughout the area and it was impossible to trail them further.
 The trip lasted two hours appar- ently
 An officer included in the party was back in Nuremberg at 7;3o am.

PARIS, Oct 16-Secretary oI State Byrnes, taking off for tht United States this afternoon, an nounced he would make a broadcast report Friday night on the 21- nation Paris Peace Conference.
 Byrnes and his wife left Orly Field in President Trumans plane The Sacred Cow" at 3:57 p. m (9:57 a. m. EST, after a news confernece in which he expressed confidence that Yugoslavia eventu- ally would sign the peace treaty with Italy.
 The Secretary said he thought that on consideration YugoslaN leaders would realize that no one power could make the peace, anc would bow to the opinions of the other 20 allied nations.
 He emphasized that there has been no change in American foreign policy.
 Work Accomplished
 Giving correspondents his views on the 21-nation peace conference which. came to an end yesterday with Yugoslav delegates boycottine the final session, Byrnes said ht felt the 11-week-long barley ha. accomplished much important worl in registering world opinions or peace treaty issues.
 Asked how he would describe current Russian American relations Byrnes said he would put that ir his talk Friday night.
 The Secretary commented that after trying out the new method o1 diplomacy whereby the press was admitted to committee meetings, he was still all for publicity on con- ferences He said some differences might have been exaggerated by publicity, but that it had permitted the people to learn directly how decisions were taken, rather than learning from few foreign min- isters, whose accuracy might be subject to doubt.
 He said he regretted that such conference publicity was not uni

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHHINGTON-It wasn't pub licized, but at the last session of Congress, the big western cattle men now withholding meat from the public also forced the American taxpayer to continue footing a large part of the bill for feeding the western cattle which he cannot now eat.
 About 145,OO0,00O acres of public land in the western states are open to ranchers under the U. s. Graz ing Service Ranchers are permitted to turn their herds loose on the public lands for nearly the entire year at a cost of only five cents per head per month for cattle and one cent per head per month for sheep.
 The Grazing Service, with a force of only 400 men and a bud get of a little over $1,000,000, has done a valiant job of fighting ero- sion, keeping water available for vegetation and seeing to it that the land is in good condition for grazing.
 Total yearly rentals amount to about $850.0O0, with holf going to land. Thus, the taxpayer has to pay quarter to improvements on the and. Thus, the taxpayer has to pay the remaining four -fiiths of the cost of keeping the range in shape for the big cattlemen.
 To offset this deficit, Grazing Service officials have been trying to raise the rental Private and state lands, they point out, rent at from three to eight times as much. The American people, they argue should be permitted at least to

DE(0NTR0l OF
 WAGES SEEMS
 PROBABLE NOW

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-The AFL member of the Wage Stabiliza- ton Board said today he will ad- wise the White House that labor never will cooperate with an all- public wage board, being considered to succeed the present three-sided agency.
 Walter Mason, the AFL represen- tative, and Carl J. Shipley, the CIO member on the Board, were called to the White House for a conference with Reconversion Di- rector John R. Steelman and Econ- omic Advisor John R. Collet this afternoon.
 Earlier the Boards public mem bers, Chairman w. Willard Wirtz and Vice-Chairman Phillips L. Garman, talked with Steelman and Collet about the conference yes- terday by the Advisory Board of the Office of War Mobilization and Re- conversion.
 Wirtz and Garman told reporters that they had recommended a quick decision on the problem of the Boards status. -s
 In answer to a reporters queS- tions, Wirtz acknowledged that there had been some discussion of proposal to exclude from the boards jurisdiction any wage in- creases negotiated in collective bar gaining. This would have the eff feet of virtual decontrol of all wages almost immediately, Wirtz said, and he did not believe that that sug- gestion was being seriously consid- cred.
 Thus on both the price and wage fronts quick action appeared to he shaping up in line with the swift CT decontrol tempo signalled by President Truman when he scrap ped all Federal restraints on meats.

BULLETIN-Nuernberg, Ger many, Oct. 16. - Maj. Fred Teich, Assistant Chief Security officer at the Nuremberg prison, said today he was convinced Hermann Goering had carried his death potion with him ever since his trial as war crim- inal began II months ago.
 Teich told newsmen every inch Sf Goering's cell and his possessions had been kept un- der a microscopic search. and the manner of concealing the poison with which he cheated the gailows in the 1lth hour remained a mystery.

How did Goering manage to commit suicide? Who slipped him the poison?
 Those two questions are echoing across Germany and around the world in mystery sequel as Ham boyant as the chapter in history written by the II Nazi free-bootinq political raeketeers who died in the Nuremberg prison.
 How did Goering, who was guarded day and night for year and half and searched time and again, get the potassium cyanide with which he took his life less than two hours before he was to hang?
 Official Answer
 To give an official answer to that question, secret board of three men have begun an investigation. But every armchair detective also is at work and here are some of the known clues.
 The poison Goering took was con- tained in a vial concealed inside a copper tube made of an old bullet cartridge. It was the same sort of poison with which Joseph Goeb- -

MOOSE COILS
 SNUFF LIVES
 OF GERMANS
Convicted Men Meet Death SfoiedIIy After Taking
 Their Last March
By THOMAS A. REEDY

NUREMBERG, Germany, Oct. l6.-Hermann Goering, who ended his life mysteriously in the agony of poison. and ten other top Nazis who died on .hangman's rope were taken to nameless graves on this bleak, cold morning in final expiation for the colossal crimes of Germany.
 Grim and manacled because in some unexplained fashion Goering had been able to escape the ignom- iny of the gallows, Joachim von Ribbentrop started the death mar ches and plunged to enternity at 1:l4 am. GAIA pm. Tuesday, Paci- fic time.)
 Arthur Seyss-Inquart was dead at 2:57 am, just an hour and 43 minutes after the once dapper Ger man Foreign Minister had pulled taught the 13 coils of the moose placed by Master Sgt John c. Wood of the United States Army.
 The. other eight climbed the 13 black steps one by one, dying al- ternately on twin gallows ordered by the International Military Tri- bunal of the United States, Russia, Great Britain and France.
 Goering even by his death less than two hours before the execu- tion. did not escape the shadow of the gallows.
 While Seyss-Inquart and Col. Gen. Alfred Jodl still were twitch- ing with the last faint sparks of life, the body of Goering was brought in on stretcher and plac- ed between the galiows in symbolic execution. The generals represent ing the Allied Control Council were allowing no legend to spring up that the German who once was outranked only by Hitler had es- capped death.
 Pains of Last Agony
 The blanket was removed and tiiCip lay tiiC iOiiiiCi ItCiSiiiidi oiidi, clad garishly in soaking wet paja- mas of black silk and a blue jacket. Physicians had used water in at 'tempts to revive him. His face was contorted with the pain of his last agony. He had swallowed vial of cyanide of potassium, which kills swiftly. just as Heinrich Himmler did at the end of the war in which countless millions died, victims of the Nazi system the Il ringieaders represented.
 Takes Mystery To Grave
 How Goering got the poison kept it and took it were mysteries the shrunken fat man perhaps took to his grave.
 In death, he had robbed his tel fellows of another 10 minutes oi life, for it took about that time for each to expire and Goering was to have been the first.
 The other ten died stoically, plunging into an inclosed trap that hid their death bangs from the eight newspaper correspondents and 30 other witnesses. None collapsed All hut Ahred Rosenberg made brief statements, the main theme of which were long live Germany" Most endeavored to show bravery.
