Spy trials continued meantime on both sides of the cold front.
 In Sofia, a three-man peoples court delivers its judgment tomor- row in the espionage trial of IS Bulgarian Protestant pastors. The trial itself ended Saturday after a week-long orgy of confession and self-accusation by the defendants.
 The prosecution has asked the death penalty for four of the de- fendants.
 Tn Munich, an eight-man U. S. Military Commission resumed it's spy trial of eight Europeans charg- cd with gathering American mili- tary information for foreign pow IT.
 A prosecution witness has testi- fled that nearly all the data col- lected went to Russia.
 In Washington, Senator Mundt tR-SD) declared the Unlteo Nations has hired some persons who were fired by the State Department as poor security risks.
 Mundt said the names of several such persons are in the files of the House Un-American Activities Com nittee. The committee, of which Mundt is a member has had inves- igators trying to find out whether 'creign governments have been us- ng the United Nations as a shield for spying on the United States.

 Johnson has spent a good part of the past eleven years dreaming of the day when he might attain this all-important post, and, based on past record, he deserves it.
 A half dozen major moves inside the War Department can be chalk ed up to Johnson, without which many more American boys would have lost their lives. The most

Quite bit Of difficulty has been
encountered by the Board of Educa-
ton, as well as the well diggers who
have been working since early in
the fall, to secure a stream Of water
strong enough TO put water in the
school building for their moderniza-
ton program.
The first well was drilled to the
depth of over three hundred feet,
but the stream didn't produce enough
water to the minute, SO it was
abandoned Another well was drill
ed, and the same difficulty was en-
countered. The Board Of Education
then ordered the well diggers to try
blasting the second well but when
they did, the water disappeared en-
tirely.
Last week the well drillers blasted
in the first well, and this time they
were successful obtaining a flow Of
water of four gallons to the minute,
which is claimed to be sufficient for
all the needs of the modernization
program.
