FIENDI5H GERMAN DOCTORS SPRUNG UP AMERICAN GALLONS

LANDSBERG, Germany. June 2. Seven German doctors and SS tEiite Guard officers died on American ,lewa r; 4ay far gar crimes.
 They were convicted of killing and maiming thousands in brutal medical experiments in Nazi con- centration camps. Their victims were inmates of the camps.
 They were the first to be hang ed of 25 Germans sentenced to death by U. s. war crimes courts at Neurnberg.
 All walked firmly to death on two black gallows in the court yard of the prison where Adolf Hitler wrote "Mein Kampf' while confin- ed there after his Mr.:ch putsch 25 years ago.
 The executions went off with out a hitch.
 Four of those hanged were doc tors. The court-headed by Judge Walter Beals of the Washington State Supreme Court-which con- victed them, said they had pervert- ed their science into a murderous practice on helpless living persons.
 The experiments described in court included high altitude experi- ments in which human guinea pigs were crushed and strangled. There also were malaria, mustard gas and sterilization tests which killed many-most of them dying in agony.
 Gen. Karl Brandt, 43, the top medical officer of the Nazi state, was the first to die. He once boasted:
 There is one German the Ameri- cans will never hang"
 He was once Hitler's personal physician.

CBy The Associated Press)

(by Inc ASSOC1dleu FfcSo'
 President Truman's bid for an- other term faced new trouble from the south today. But elsewhere, his campaign picked up strength.
 Alabama voters yesterday picked nine more delegates pledged to walk out of the Democratic Na- tional Convention if MT. Truman is nominated or if his civil rights proposals are put into the party platform.
 Five others similarly pledged previously had been named, giving anti Truman Democrats control of the states 24-man delegation.
 In Maryland, however, state Democratic convention instructed delegates to cast their 20 votes for MT. Truman as long as he appears to have a chance to win. The con- venticn decided to back Marylands senior Senator, Willard E. Tydings, for the ce-Presidential nomina- tion.
 The President also picked up 54 more convention votes in Califor- mia. This put his total pledged and claimed votes to 589-just 29 short of the SIS needed for nomi- nation.

WARNE REQUESTING FISHING DISPUTE, LARGER FUNDS FOR PRICE AND HOURS, FfERR. DEVELOPMENT |AT CORONA ENDED

CORDOVA, Alaska, June 2--tR-- The first red salmon flowed into Cordova canneries yesterday after settlement of a fish price and work ing hours dispute.

 WASHINGTON, June 2.-lREThe biggest peacetime military budget in the nations history hit the House floor today-S10, 1872 ,25o for the Army. Navy and Air Force.
 The appropriations committee at the same time released testimony wari1lg of the alarming menace' of Soviet military might and dis closing that the United States fleet now in the Mediterranean is there for two reasons.
 First, to serve as warning to Soviet Union not to try to overrun any of the free countries of Eu- rope.
 Second, to be ready to remove American forces if worst came to worst.
 Adm. Louis E. Denfeld, chief of Naval Operations, told the eoars mittee just two weeks ago that the Mediterranean fleet of one car rier, three cruisers and 10 destroy CTS could be augmented quickly.
 GA 12 ship task force headed by the carrier Kearsarge left Norfolk, Va, late yesterday to relieve the vessels now on duty in the Medi- terranean)
 Discussing the use of U. s. ships in foreign waters, Denfeld declared:
 Not only is the presence of our ships in certain troubled spots of the world today clear indication to would-be troublemakers of our determination to maintain the peace: it is also the means, and the only means we possess, where by we may act swiftly to prevent the overrunning of critical areas by and enemy . ..
 Two separate appropriation bills given top priority for immediate action-provide $6,509 ,939,o00 for the Army and the Air Forces and $3,686, TBS, ,25O for the Navy for the year starting July l.
 Their combined total is $505, ,000,- GOO greater than the Services are spending this year and more than three times as much as the regular 1941 budgets for the armed forces.

CIatskanie Area Is Now Threatened Search for
 Dedd-Murky Shroud
By WILLIAM PHIPps

PORTLAND, June 2--LH-- The Columbia flood crest bore down on the Clatskanie area today in it's rampage to the Pacific Ocean. The river lapped less than three inches from dike top and was go- ing higher.
 Four hundred civilian volunteers struggled to heighten the nine dikes in the threatened area two-thirds of the way down tha i0a-mile bar ricaded stretch between Portland and the sea.
 Behind the hard-pressed earth works is the town of Clatskanie. Its population of about 1000 has been evacuated So have residents in other districts of the area.
 U. s. Army engineers described the situation in the Clatskanie area as critical" And 1t put the same label on five other areas, ex- tending as far upriver as Portland where the crest passed yesterday.
 
 But nowhere was the margin be- tween safety and destruction as narrow as the cryptic "freeboard. two-tenths of a foot" reported by the engineers around Clatskanie.
 The flood crest has passed the major cities-Portland Oregon's metropolis; and Vancouver and Longview on the Washington side of the state-separating river. These communities. and many others. are trying now to get back to normal. It will be long haul. An esti- mated 10000 homes were swept away by the rampaging river. The entire city of vanport was destroy ed Dikes were washed out. Com- munications were disrupted. Trans portation was crippled. Hundreds of square miles lay under murky shroud of water that will remain for days and weeks
 The fight now is against dis ease, to search for the dead, to bring families back together again. to feed and clothe those who lost everything, to supply temporary housing.

 WASHINGTON The American people don't realize it, but an av- craze of twenty tons of contami- mated food is sold to the public every day in the year because the Food and Drug Administration has lost its authority to seize goods that spoil after reaching their destination.
 What is even more alarming, the Government also has been stopped from confiscating deteriorated drugs unless it can be proved that the drugs lost their potency before de- livery. For patients who may need a drug such as penicillin, this could mean the difference between life and death.
 The Government was stripped of it's power to seize spoiled goods bv a decree of the Ninth Circuit Appeals Court in San Francisco when the Phelps Dodge Company, a copper mining firm. challenged the Governments authority to con- fiscate some macaroni that had spoiled in company warehouses af- ter shipment from Colorado to Arizona.
 The Circuit Court upheld Phelps Dodge, ruled that the Governments authority ended after the goods

Arab nations accepted with "ex- plantations" today the United Ma tions proposal for a four-week armistice in Palestine. The reply made plain the Arab belief there is no chance of lasting peace while the Jewish state of Israel exists.
 Israel previously had accepted with assumptions" One of these was that unlimited immigration, including men of fighting age, should continue during the armis- ticc. The Arabs specified that continued Jewish immigration would constitute grave threat to the Arab countries.
 Scattered combat was reported in Jerusalem and elsewhere in Pales- tine pending cease fire time, which the U. N. had not yet set. The Arab reply did not make clear whether the Arab acceptance of the armistice is conditional on the United Nations agreeing to their explanations" The Arabs left the time of the cease fire to he decided. The Jews had set p. m. yesterday, conditional upon a sim liar Arab order.
 The explanations" specified that any solution partitioning Palestine into Jewish and Arab states has no chance of success. This is the very point over which both sides have been skirmishing since late in November and warning in the open since May Is, when the British mandate ended. The Arabs also stressed Jewish immigration as a peril and asked to be allowed to cooperate with the U. N. to super wise compliance with the cease fire.
 Prolonged debate, during which lighting will continue, appeared to be in prospect.
 The Jews said Egyptian troops attacked Negba, south of Tel Aviv, and bombed Hulda, in the same general area.
 Artillery, mortar and automat- ic weapons exploded through Jeru- salem while both sides awaited a cease fire order to become effec- tive.
 Egyptian troops were but IA miles south of Tel Aviv. They were reported smelling Rehovot, l2 miles from the Israeli center.
