The Brough's men were now berthing and

living compartments were stripped of hunks.
Each locker was empty and shining with new
paint. Springs and mattresses were piled
neatly on the decks. Rows of life rings and
Mae Vests hung from the overheads.

BERLIN, May Is. - German
women here are buzzing with in
dignation and annoyance over an
article in an American weekly
magazine picturing Emmy Goering
as living the life of Riley in Sack
billing, a little Bavarian village
There are recent photographs of
Emmy, once Germany's leading
lady, beautifully dressed in 'Ty-
rolean costume, her hair carefully
waved, plump as ever, talking with
a Bavarian farmer. Beside them
is printed a photograph of a starry
ing frauleiH with deep-set, dark
ringed eyes, wearing ragged coat
and clutching thin slice of bread
in her hand.
If Emmy were to show her face
now in Berlin she would be torn to
shreds, so great is the animosity of
the people. These pictures have
reopened the Nuremberg trials in
German minds, trials which were
fast losing interest for Germans as
they dragged on Unfortunately.
But now it's different. "Why
don't they hang him (Goering) or
shoot him? Emmy, tool" can be
heard across fences between the
women who now pitifully strive. for
existence.
How dare she show herself thus
clad and looking so happy? zone
