Lincoln Papers
Historical Gold Nine

Libraries throughout the country
eagerly awaited microfilm copies of
the White House papers of Abraham
Lincoln, barred to the public for the
first time July 26 at the Library of
Congress in Washington.
The papers were collected by Rob-
ert Todd Lincoln from his fathers
desk in the Executive mansion imme-
diately after the assassination of the
Civil War President.
The son decided them to the Library
of Congress in 1923, STIMULATING that
they be withheld from public or pri-
viate inspection until 81 years after
his death. Robert T. Lincoln died
July 26, 1925.
The younger Lincoln imposed Sc
crecy because, he said, his fathers
papers contained references to ances-
tors of persons then living which
should not then be made public.
John Hay and John c. Nicolay, Sec
retaries of President Lincoln, used the
papers in preparing their 10-volume
biography of Lincoln, and their man.
uscripts were carefully edited by Lin
coins son. 1t is believed controversial
matters were deleted.
The collection contains from $4,000
to 10000 documents. It's size is indi-
Gated by the fact that a single copy
of the microflm extends 10000 feet
or nearly two miles.

BERLIN: Occupation Daze

tiers of the four prison governors,
other snarls developed. The French
governor deserted the conference
early. The Russian governor never
appeared.
The American governor said he
would talk if authorized by his supe-
rior at the Allied Kommandanture
Before he could start, however, the
British governor said this constituted
"unilateral action" and you had
better move over into the American
sector so / don't even hear it."
One American member. of the
prison staff threw up his hands.
"Everytime somebody sneezes around
here it requires a four-power con-
ference" he said.
Four Decisions
The upshot was that the Americans
told their story to reporters, the
British issued a press release describ-
ing the prison regimen; the Russians
and French said nothing.
Rudolf Hess, ex-deputy fuehrer;
Walther Funk, former economics
minister, and former Grand Admiral
Erich Raeder, all were sentenced to
life by the Nuremberg International
Military Tribunal. Baldur Won Schir-
ach, ex-youth leader, and Albert
Speer, former arms production chief,
received 20 years each; Baron Con-
stantin Won Neurah, former pro
tector of Bohemia and Moravia."
was sentenced to Is years, and
former Admiral Karl Doenitz will
serve 10 years.
How Mighty Have Fallen
They will serve out their terms in
sparsely furnished cells, stripped of
glass and other potential suicide
instruments. Their only privilege
will be working nine hours day
except Sundays and holidays. if they
are judged physically fit by ply
Sicians
Work, religious services and walks
will be communal. The work will
include regular prison cleaning. The
food will be normal German prison
fare. The rest of the time the former
high Nazi brass will sit in their soil
tary cells, dressed in drab gray
prison uniforms.

Hot Shots

o The Pennsylvania Railroad had to
revert to steam on its Harrisburg, Pa
Port Deposit, Md, line when three
electric freight locomotives stalled
after running into swarms of flies,
short circuiting them.
Q Fifty years ago in Salt Lake City,
John H. Udall's father told him if he
banked dollar and kept it there I'M
til he was as old as Methuselah he'd
be rich man. John, then a youth, de-
posted one dollar in a savings ac-
count with the Zion Savings Bank and
Trust Company. John, now a former
mayor of Phoenix, wants his dollar
plus so years interest. 1t won't be
much more than So. In the first place,
even at the old rate of four percent
interest, it would have taken Is years
for the dollar to have doubled itself.
In the second, about 20 years ago,
banks stopped paying interest on
amounts less than SIS.
. In Britain, carrying Goals to New
castle is not as silly as it formerly
was said to be. The government is i'm

year-old tot who clambered over the

able to agree on how to rule the
drawn-and-quartered Reich, are in
dispute about even matters of rou-

week from Nuremberg to Berlin of
the surviving big Seven" of Hitler's
hierarchy.
Since last October when the seven
Nazis were sentenced at Nuremberg
there was disagreement about how
and where they should serve out
their terms. Spandau Prison in the
British sector of Berlin finally was
agreed upon; the big gloomy, red
brick prison was stated by four
governors and guards divided equally
among the four occupying powers.
Then an argument broke out over
Strictness of the prison regime, with
the British arguing for humane
treatment and the Russians demand
ing Spartan measures. It finally was
agreed that the seven should serve
their terms under the German prison
code.
Correspondents, eager for details
of the return of the big Seven to
the capital where they once had

Inside the gates, where the prison

The Greek army appeared to have
contained the thrust of two guerrilla
forces near the Albanian border but
the almost interminable civil war
dragged on in China with neither side
gaining decisive advantage.
Machine guns chartered in the Holy
Land as Britain imposed house arrest
on many of Palestine's Jews and the
underground seemed on the verge of
an outright offensive against British
rule. The immediate cause was ram
ming by British warships of block
ade runner with $500 refugees and
sending them, not to internment
camps on Cyprus but back to France
where they had embarked.
Burma was powder keg after the
machine gun massacre, of eight Bur.

Open Warfare
Open warfare in lndonesia was par
ticulsrly shocking. The republic pro-.
tested the Dutch hostilities to the
!. world and also asked Britain and
the U.S. to intercede.
"A few months ago the Netherlands
government was being hailed for it's
progressive attitude in agreeing on
plan for UniAed States of Indonesia
to become completely independent IN
1919.
Difficulties arose over the manner
OF putting that plan into effect.
Throughout the two years of nego-
tiations, there were sporadic OUT
breaks of fighting, the politically inn
mature natives taxed the patience of
the Dutch by increasing demands, by
refusing to lay down their arms or
release their hostages until every
thing was signed, sealed and deiv-
cred.
Last Sunday the Dutch opened hos
tilties by pressing land, sea and air
attacks. Acting Governor General
ii. j. Van Nook described it as local
police action
U. S.-Built Planes
Dutch pilots in built
Mustang (P-51) and Kittyhawk (P-4O)
fighter planes strafed native airhelds
on Java and Sumatra. 1t was a de.
fensive action, Dutch authorities said
to prevent lndonesians from attack
ing Dutch supply concentrations. The
lndonesian Republic was known tc
have about 40 old Japanese planes.
About 1000 of the invading Dutch
marines were trained and equipped
at Camp Lejeune, NJ G., in. 1945. They
were ISSUED the same equipment a!
brigade of U. S. Marines. That woulc
include some Is tanks, IL howitzers
automatic weapons, machine guns
inortars, anti-tank guns, fame throw
ers and mobile equipment such al
jeeps and half-tracks.
