Strict Secrecy Placed
On Convicted Nazis
By the Associated Press

NUREMBERG, Jan. 28.-The AL
lies have determined to wash the
names of Hitlers leaders out OF
print and their deeds out of mind
so they never can contribute to
new German legends, it was learned
here today.
This policy has been adopted by
the Allied Control Council in Ber-
lin for Nazi leaders generally, and
specifically for the seven Nazis who
were convicted with Hermann Goer-
ing, Joachim Won Ribbentrop and
others, but were given only Jail
terms.
They are Admirals Eric Raeder
life Imprisonment, and Karl Doe
nitz, 10 years; Walter Funk, Reichs-
banker, life; Constantin Won Neu-
rath, diplomat, Is years; Albert
Speer, munitions maker, 20 pears;
Baldur Won Schirach. youth leader
20 years, and Deputy Fuehrer Ru
dolf Hess, life.
The council decision was forwarded
to prison officers here and is be-
ing implanted firmly at Spandau
Prison in Berlin, where the seven
will serve out their terms. They
will be moved to Spandau next
month.
Meanwhile, the control couhcil
order is that no news of any of the
seven ever is to be divulged-that
all their actions and comments are tC
be secret. The secrecy reputedly
was advocated by the Soviet spokes-
man in Berlin. The Russians have
long felt the best way for the peo-
pie to forget any individual is by
silence.

British May Import
Electricity by Cable

NEW YORK, Jan. % (NANA) -
London, Birmingham, Manchester
and other such British cities may
lose their traditional pail of smoke
10 years hence if a project of bring
ing electric current to England from
Norway and Sweden by means Of a
frozen cable of silver alloy laid un-
der the North Sea materializes.
The project envisages bringing to
Britain approximately one-half of
Norway's and Sweden's estimated
potential water-power resources an
nually. The newspaper Aften-
posten of Oslo quotes Lord Forrest
er, chairman of Britain's "Associa-
ton of Planning and Regional Re-
construction" as saying that be-
tween 10 and 20 years would be
needed to bring into being the
scheme, which would serve as an
alternative to the use Of atomic
energy for industrial purposes. Sill
yer has the highest electrical con-
ductability and would minimize
losses through heating OF cables.
Lord Forester is making a prellm-
mary survey of Swedish and Nor
wegian power sites which may even
tually be tapped to supply the elec-
tricity to Britain: Aftenposter
quotes Lord Forester as saying that
a wartime project to bring electrical
power from England to France on
the heels of the Allied invasion, with
a cable under the Channel, def1-
nitely had established the feasibility
of the Scandinavian scheme.

Treasury Stands Fast
On Claim 10 Paris Of
'Morgenthau' S Diary
By the Associated Press

The Treasury held fast today to
it's claim that a major part" of
the long but lively diary of former
Secretary Henry Morgenthau, jr., is
public property and belongs in the
Governments files.
Mr.. Morgenthau told a news con-
ference at Los Angeles, IF I've got
something Secretary Snyder wants
and needs he can have it,"
But there apparently remained
the question of how much of Mr..
Morgenthau's 100000 words, in
900 bound volumes, this might in
clude.
Mr.. Snyder made public his posi-
ton on the 900 volumes of the diary
in these words:
IT have no doubt either that the
material comprising the diary is in
major part, at least, public prop
erty, or that Mr.. Morgenthau will
so view the matter on reflection. -
Another Treasury official said the
department considers some of the
Morgenthau records confidential
and believes part of the material
should be in Government files.
Word that Secretary Snyder and
Mr.. Morgenthau were in communi-
cation over the diary came yester-
day from a Treasury official who
said Mr.. Snyder had written his
predecessor a friendly" letter ask
ing for the whole file.
At Los Angeles Mr.. Mongenthau
commented: "As to official docu-
ments, by and large, most of my COL
lection is photostats. The ultimate
disposal, in any event, of any papers
or documents I might have of Off
cial value would be in the Govern
ment archives at the Hyde Park
IN. Y) Library or the Library of
Congress.
Mr.. Snyder's public statement fol-
lowed.
He said he first learned Of the
diary through newspaper accounts
and that he has found out it in
cludes the only copies of the tran
scripts of great many official tele-
phone conversations and of count
less official conferences held in Mr..
Morgenthau's Office"

Judge George A. Dockweiler, who
granted Movie Actress Laraine Day

Ray Hendricks, airport executive,
has instructed the county counsel to
prepare a show-cause order why 1t

Judge Dockweiler's decision fol-
lowed the refusal of the States at
torney general to act in the case.
The judges ire was aroused when
Miss Day flew to Juarez, obtained a
Mexican divorce, crossed to Ell Paso,
Tex. and married Leo Durocher,
Brooklyn baseball manager. Her in
terlocutory decree here was issued
only a day before. ;,
Miss Day and Durocher flew back
here and held a long conference
with the judge after he announced he
intended to nullify her Los Angeles
divorce, under terms OF which she
retains custody of the three children
she and Hendricks adopted.
Among other arguments Miss Day
employed in trying to forestan an
invalidation of the divorce decree
was that she and Durocher should
not be made examples OF when

link Black Patches in Blue Sky
Are New Antarctic Phenomena
By Thomas R. Henry
Sfor Stoff Correspondent

WITH NAVY ANTARCTIC EX-
PEDITION, Jan. 28.-Here black
ghosts haunt white nights. Officers
on watch yesterday on ships moored
in the Bay of Whales observed for
about four hours hitherto unre-
corded optical phenomenon - the
sudden appearance of enormous ink
black patches-in a clear blue sky.
The radar on the Mount Olympus
had just detected gigantic iceberg
about 4 miles away, outside the Bay
of Whales. A sharp watch was Or
dered, but the monster remained in
visible. Then, over the approx
mate position indicated by the radar
for the berg, there appeared single
black spot. 1t had no similarity to
a cloud. A few minutes later there
appeared five other smaller black
spots, in a straight line, many miles
to the north.
All slowly changed shape during
the four hours. after which they
faded away almost as suddenly as
Evening star., 1947-01-28

they had appeared. There was only
a glimpse of the top of the iceberg
after the phenomenon had been in
progress for two hours. This black
mirage is explained as probably due
to the mirroring Of the berg in the
sky directly above, but other spots
are unexplained unless they could
be due to smaller icebergs not To-
Gated by the radar.
During the past few days, white
rainbows were seen several times
over the bay ice. These appear as
broad milk white bands in solid blue
sky. The phenomena are similar to
ordinary rainbows, but are due to
refraction of light by water drops in
the fog. The smaller these drops
the lighter the colors, with more
refraction coming from the violet
end of the solar spectrum, where
the light becomes invisible. Finally,
the blueness fades entirely, leaving
only shimmering white.

According to Cardini-Cardini the
Great, that is-who is a magician in
no small way himself, Mr.. Vernon is
the only man to whom he tips his
magic wand. And among magivians,
that is the highest of compliments.
But that's a case of the pupil laud-

Mr.. Vernon has also instructed
Blackstone, Thurston, Frakson and
a host of others.
Many Professions Represented.
In last nights audience were doc
