State Demands Life
OF Nazi Torturer

OSLO. - Oslo press reports
from the current trial of Nazi
Counter-Espionage head Sigfried
Fehmer record testimony border
ing on the incredible. Probably
the most fantastic testimony de-
livered thus far came forth on
June 10th when German Hans
Keller explained the use of aug
mented questioning" the polite
term meaning grilling under tor
ture. This" explained Keller,
was applied when there was a
chance of saving human life by
forcing the truth out of resist
ance members who were with
holding information" It was in
extreme cases, he continued, when
it was necessary to cause pain to
other persons in order to guard
the State against misfortune.
But torture, that was something
else: that was mistreatment by
those without authority" ex-
planned Keller.
The witness continued to ex-
plain how in each instance of
augmented questioning" permits
sion had to be obtained before
hand, but if the matter were pres
sing, leg-vices, hot needles, and
ice baths could be applied and
permission might be obtained af-
forwards. Later, when asked
whether it might not be possible
to obtain this permission even be-
fore the victim was arrested, the
willy Fehmer squirmed for a mo-
ment and then admitted, II didn't
do that, but it is possible that
some of my subordinates did"
State Prosecutor Sund is de-
handing the death sentence,
charging Fehmer responsible for
the deaths of many Norwegians
who died under torture. He is
also held responsible for having
suggested the introduction of
torture under questioning.

Nazi u-boat Pens
Being Blown Up

OSLO-Blasting of the massive
concrete U-boat bunkers con-
structed by the Nazis at Lakse-
vaag near Bergen is now under
way. Thirty demolition specialists
from the Norwegian Army Engi-
neer Corps have been carrying out
preparatory work for the past sew
eral months and the task of break
ing up and removing the huge con-
crete pile is now in full swing.
Not all of the structure is to be
destroyed, however, as a portion
of the installation is to be retained
by the Norwegian Navy for hous-
ing Norwegian submarines and re-
pair shops. Special care must be
taken that none of the explosions
endanger the populace or damage
the houses which surround the
area.
While smaller charges of 30 lbs.
or less are now being used to
crack the massive structure it is
expected that subsequent blasts
will require the use of up to 1000
lbs. of explosives at a time. Resi-
dents of the area, though pleased
with the removal of this Nazi
landmark, are keeping their fin
gers crossed.

Gifts OF Lumber Rebuids Abbey

Iona, Isle of the Hebrides.-The
offer of a gift of wood to roof
certain parts of Iona Abbey has
been made by Norwegian lumber
merchants in recognition of help
given to their nation during the
war.
This was recently announced at
a recent meeting of the Scottish
physiological Society and calls
attention to very fine work being
donel in Iona.
Iona, one of the most famous
of the Hebrides, is one of it's love-
Hest. Few persons who have lived
here have not loved it. It's history
began in the year 563, when Co.
lumba left Ireland with 10 dis
ciples and landed on Iona. On a
clear day on certain parts of the
island, the shores of Ireland still
can be seen.

Century, Iona was second to none.
When Ben Johnson visited Iona
he was thinking of these times
when he said that illustrious
island which was once the lumi-
nary of the Caledonian regions
when savage clans and rowing bar
barians derived the benefits of
knowledge and the blessings of
religion"
The Norsemen ravaged the
island again and again, so it is a
pleasant thought of these timber
merchants to help restoration in
1947.
The Abbey was a gift by the
then Duke of Argyle to the
Church of Scotland, on condition

Few Norway Ships
Under Panama Flag

OSLO-Regarding recent conf
ments abroad concerning the in
creasing number Of ships sailing
under Panama registry, Gunvald
Hauge of the Norwegian Seamen's
Union has revealed that but one
Norwegian firm has ships under
the Panama flag.
Though there are several agents
trying to effect the transfer of
Norwegian ships to dummy
firms in Panama, no more than
four or five ships have been trans
ferred to date.
The Norwegian Seamen's Union
has further warned its members
against accepting employment
aboard Panamanian ships.

ever getting ruffled, heads the
United Nations Special Committee
on Palestine, which is now inves-
tigating conditions in the Holy
Land in order to work out recon-
mendations for a permanent solu-
ton of Palestines' troubles.
He is 60-year-old Alfred Emil
Frederik Sandstrom, Justice of
Sweden's Supreme Court and a
veteran of 40 years of judicial ex-
perience and work in international
affairs.
AS Chairman of the 11-nation
, Committee on Palestine, Justice
Sandstrom's judicial training is
expected to be of great aid as
conflicting, emotionally charged
claims from Arabs and Jews are
presented in evidence.
Justice Sandstrom's judicial
work goes back to 1908 when he
was graduated from law school
and entered the Swedish court sys-
tenn. He rose to become President
tof the Swedish Labor Court and
then, in 1881, to the Supreme
Court, on which he has served ever
since with only short breaks for
other government work. He is now
also Swedish Representative on
the Permanent Court of Arbitra-
ton at The Hague.
From. 1918 to 1929, Justice
Sandstrom found himself dealing
with international legal affairs,
first as a member of the Mixed
International Court in Egypt, and
then as a member of a Court of
Claims set up in London to deal
with charges against Germany for
war damage.
One of the most exciting chap
tiers in the Justices life came dur
ing the war in Greece, where he
was supervising an International
Red Cross Mission. He often
risked death to see that supplies
were going to the points where
they would be most useful, and
he is given a great share of the
credit for saving Athens from de-
struction by the Germans. To pre-
serve Athens, he arranged a meet
ing of the retreating German
general with the advancing British
house. Together, the generals
agreed that German mines in the
city should be left unexploded.
Looking more youthful than
his so years, Justice Sandstrom
likes skiing, ice skating and ball
room dancing. He is married and
has three children.

Harvest Prospects
Poor in Sweden

STOCKHOLM, July ct h e
harvest prospects in Sweden,
which gave cause for pessimism
earlier in the year, have become
still darker due to the drought.
According to estimates, this
years crop from autumn sowing
will amount to about 3OO,OOO tons
against 80s,0OO tons last year.
This will necessitate substantial
imports of grain.

Danes To Increase
Industrial Exports

COPENHAGEN, June 49,
Doubtful crop prospects caused
Denmark to announce new re-
strictions on imports and an
intensified program of indus
trial exports.
The Government said it
hoped to increase industrial ex-
ports this year by 100000
crowns ($1O,OOO,O00) over 1916.
Because of a long winter and
dry spring, the export of agri-
cultural products is expected
to decline by about 100000
crowns, and the nation may
have to import cereals, an Of
fetal statement said.

ment.
All maturity groups were planted
at three dates, April 10, May 20, and
after oat harvest, June II, to de-
termine the effect of time of plant
ing on yields of the groups of va
rieties of different maturity. The
results from the one-year data in
dictate that where several varieties,
varying in maturity, are to be
planted over relatively long pc
riod, the varieties should be planted
in order of maturity-from early to
late
The soybean variety trials were
conducted at Stoneville, Tunica,
Anchorage, and Dunleith, and are
part of the coordinated soybean
Improvement program of the u. S.
Soybean Laboratory. This organiza-
ton is participated in by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture and ag-
ricultural experiment stations of "a

Mississippi.

Experiment Sta.
Conducts Tests
On Soy Beans

Varieties of soy beans yielding
best under Mississippi conditions
and ranging in maturity from early
to late, are listed by the Delta
Branch Experiment Station on the
basis of tests conducted at four
Delta locations.
Of the varieties of early maturity,
as reported by Paul R. Henson and
Robert B. Carr of the Delta station
staff, S100 continues to be the lead
ing variety for the Delta. Sufficient
seed of Sl00 should be available
to meet most of the planting needs
in 1948 The early varieties, Glib
son and Patoka, have yielded well
over the threeyear period, 1944-46,
but both are inferior to S100 in
yield and seed quality.
The yield of Ogden is significant
ly above that of other varieties of
early October maturity The chief
objection to Ogden is that it will
shatter under dry conditions. Where
the acreage of soybeans per COM
bine is large, part of the acreage
may be planted to varieties having
those of later maturity.
Roanoke and Volstate are the
leading varieties of October
maturity. Both produce excellent
yields of high quality seed, high in
percentage of oil. The acreage har-
vested per combine can be ma
terially increased by growing either
of these varieties along with those
of earlier maturity if planted on
well-drained, light textured soils
where late combine harvesting is
practical.
Mamotan, Mamloxi, Acadian, and
Nanda are the highest yielding va
rieties of early November matur-
ity. These late varieties are well
suited for interplanting in corn for
hogging-off and for soil improve

Your State Health
Officer Says:

A tonsillectomy is not a cure-all
for the disorders of childhood, in
the opinion of DR.. Virginia Howard,
Director of the Division of Mater
nal and Child Health, State Board
of Healthy While it is unlikely that
removing a child's tonsils will mean
that he will have fewer colds dur
ing the year, according to DR.. Ho-
ward, there is reason to think he
| is apt to have fewer persistent sore
throats
Ordinarily, physicians would
prefer not to take tonsils out when
the child is under five; some physi-
clans prefer to wait until the child
is seven" said DR.. Howard. How
| ever. if the tonsils are badly in
fected and the child's general health
may be seriously impaired by de-
laying, the tonsils are occasionally
removed in children as young as
three. Young babies seldom have
| infections involving the tonsils.
In recent years particularly, physi-
clans and child specialists do not
recommend tonsillectomies as often
sthey used to do Sometimes en-
larged tonsils are due to recent
sore throat and in few weeks will
return to normal size as the throat
returns to normal
| "Adenoids, like tonsils, can be-
come infected or can increase in
size to the point that they will
cause children serious trouble" DR..
Howard stated Because of their
location in the upper part of the
throat, adenoids may cause deaf
ness and sometimes ear infections.
Before child has tonsils or ade-
| noids removed it is wise to have
necessary dental work done and to
see that he has plenty of rest and
sleep, with simple, wholesome food
in order to get him into the best
possible condition Since upper
respiratory infections are most COM
mon in winter, it S best to remove
tonsils or adenoids in $the spring,
summer or fall rather than in the
| winter time"

Cheese is a handy food-both
from the standpoint of nutrition and
convenience. 1t fits into summer
time meals beautifully. 1t can be
used in cold dishes as well as hot.
1t can be served "as is. made into
sandwiches, or featured in salads
and desserts.
Serve toasted cheese crackers
with soups or salads, or instead of
sweet dessert. They're easy to
make. Just crate the cheese or
slice it thin Spread on crackers
and toast in the oven or under a
low broiler flame until the cheese
melts.
Salads and Sandwiches
For untoasted sandwiches, CRATE
cheese or cut it fine To make
sandwich filling mix with chopped
onion, chopped carrot, chopped pick
lie, cooked beans, or finely cut eel
cry. If you wish, put it in leaf
of lettuce or tender cabbage.
Nobody needs to be told how to
make toasted cheese sandwiches
but some of you may not know
about the delicious French-toasted
kind. To make them, beat up one
or two eggs with a cup of milk.
Dip cheese sandwiches lightly into
the mixture. Fry slowly in little
fat, browning on both sides.
Many salads can be made more
interesting by mixing in small bits
of cheese. Try this with tossed
green vegetable salad, a potato sal
ad or kidney bean salad. Add
grated cheese to salad dressing you
serve over lettuce. Sprinkle cheese
over beet slices.
Cheese makes one of the easiest
desserts also. Just serve cheese and
crackers with fresh, dried or can
ned fruit.
Nutrition Value
Cheese includes protein of the
best quality, calcium needed for
bones and teeth and riboflavin of
the vitamin B family If made of
whole milk, it contains vitamin A
too.
Don't waste any cheese. Cut off
only as much as you need each time.
then store the rest tightly wrapped
/ in paper or clean cloth. Use
promptly before cheese dries out.
Remember. it may mold without
spelling. If this happens. cut off
the mold and use the rest.
Go easy with the heat in cooking
cheese. Let it cook slowly so that
it melts completely and spreads the
good cheese flavor throughout the
whole dish. Cooked too quickly,
cheese gets tough and stringy.
To speed up the melting and
blending of cheese, it should be
in small pieces before its heated
Break it, CRATE it, slice it, or shave
it thin Whenever possible, mix
the cheese into sauce before add
ing it to other ingredients.

Boil Weevils
Work Overtime
On AT Cotton

Boil weevils are again more than
twice as numerous on Mississippi
farms as on this date last year, ac-
cording to the State Plant Board
Examinations by Board Inspectors
and Federal entomologists during
the past week on 1853 farms in 48
counties revealed weevils present on
146 with an average infestation of
268 per acre on the infested farms
as compared to 159 per acre on this
date last year. A week of dry
weather has improved the situation
some as the weevils per acre last
week averaged SIG. Rains over the
weekend and cloudy weather may
cause another weevil increase.
