And CzechosIovakia
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

LONDON. July S. Russia,
Czechoslovakia, Finland and Po-
land have signed interlocking one
year trade agreements for the ex-
change of $56,400, 900 worth of
goods, the Moscow radio said last
night.
The broadcast said the agree
ments were signed in Moscow
June 20 "as the result of success
full talks"
The announcement said the
pacts extend the goods turnover
among the participating countries
in their mutual interest and con-
stitutes a considerable addition to
the bipartite trade agreements pre-
viously concluded among them" :"
Included in the exchange will
be Soviet food supplies, Finnish
timber products, Polish coal and
Czechoslovak sugar and industrial
goods. valued at 800 0,000, 900 rubles.
At the official rate the ruble is
worth between 18 and 10 cents.
OF the four nations, only Fin
land does not belong to the Soviet
sponsored Eastren Economic Coun-
ell for Mutual Aid. The council
was set up early this year to coun-
ter the European Recovery Pro-
gram.
The broadcast gave this picture
Of the round-robin trading:
Under these agreements, Fin
land supplies the Soviet Union
with prefabricated houses, sawed
timber, small ships and other
goods to the value Of 100, 900 900
rubles ($1s,800, ,00O.
The Soviet Union will supply
food products to Poland to the
value of 100000 rubles ($15,-
040, ,000 and to Czechoslovakia to
the value of 100000 rubles
($3. .760, ,0OO) ""s.
Poland is to supply Finland
with coal to the value of 80, 900 900
rubles, and Czechoslovakia is to
supply Finland with sugar, ma
chinery and industrial goods to
the value Of 10000, 900 rubles."
The broadcast called the pacts
"tripartite agreements" It did
not say how many separate agree
ments were signed.

ST. MICHAELS, Md, July S.
A new idea in marine engineer
ing-with greater speed on the
water as a principal objective-is
undergoing tests in Chesapeake
Bay off this little Eastern Shore
community.
It is a water turbine jet en-
gine invented by Samuel V. Shan
nahan of ST. Mlchaels. and it is
housed in a trim red-hulled boat.
Mr.. Shannahan, ali official in
an artesian well firm here. admits
the theory of pumping water tc
propel a boat is not new.
But, he says the use OF the tur-
bine jet, plus many patented en-

gineering features OF his craft are
new.
Preliminary tests are expected
to consume about two weeks. If
they are successful, a public dem
onstration will be arranged.
Mr.. Shannahan says the expert
mental craft was built with speed
in mind. but he won't predict just
how fast it will 80.
His craft works this way:
Water is taken into 8-inch pipes
in the bow and on either side Of
the boat. 1t moves through a
single pipe to point near the
stern where it passes through a
six-s stage turbine powered by q
regular gasoline engine. 1t then
passes with great force out of twin
pipes at the stern of the boat,
thus providing propulsion.

Won Manstein
Gets l8-Year
Jail Sentence

LONDON, Dec. l9.-tR.-The
last Of Hitler's generals to be
tried for war crimes stood before
British military court today and
heard himself sentenced to 10
years in prison.
The defendant was white-hair-
ed. poker-faced Erich Won Man
stein, a stiff-backed PruSsian
general of the Old School, who
commanded Hitler's forces in the
early invasions of Poland and
Russia.
So successful was he at the
start Of the war, tat Hitler pro-
NOTED him to field marshall. but
as the Red army pushed the Ger
mans out of the Ukraine, Man
stein quarreled with Hitler. AS a
result of that quarrel he was
fired from the German general
staff. He sat out the rest of the
war in retirement, until the
British came and got him.
All was narrated by the de-
PENDANT in meticulous detail as
the four-months trial unfolded.
He denied all the charges-said
he was not responsible for the
mass killings perpetrated under
his command-that he was not
responsible for the shooting,
hanging. drowning and gassing of
thousands of Russians, Poles and
Jews in the territory invaded by
his armies.
He had nothing to do with any
of this, he said. because he was
too busy fighting.
ManStein told the court that
his family had been stepped in
the Prussian military code ever
since his grandfather fought in
the German Army against Ma
pOleon the First.
Il have done nothing to violate
that code of honor" he said. 81
have done nothing of which ! am
ashamed. I have always fought
honorably and decently."
Throughout the trial, he had
endeavored to draw sharp con-
trast between Manstein. the pro-
feSsional soldier. and Hitler, the
"bungling amateur" He said Hit
Ter was responsible for the col
Lapse of the German Arrays Fssrt
ern Front and the invasion Of
Germany by Russian forces. Once
he told the court. TO wage war
is an art in itself" He was en-
couraged IN his attitude by prom
inent BritOnS. including Winston
Churchill. who helped raise
money for his legal defense.
The court listened intently. But
in the end it fond the naughty
PruSSian general guilty of nine of
the II war crimes charged against
him.
If he lives out his l8-year SEN
tence he will be 80 years old at
the time of his release.
He refused to ask the court for
mercy.
