Rome Utilities
Cause Headaches

ROME -(P)-If Signor Giuseppe
Rossi and his lady are grumpy and
short-tempered these days the
state of their citys utilities may be
partly to blame. There is not
enough electric power to go a.
round, and gas is low.
The result, in terms of the ef-
fects upon Mr.. and Mrs. Average
Roman:
Signor Rossi finds his place of
work dark from z A. M. to p. M.
two days each week. If he works
in one of Rome's countless electric
powered shops, his machines are
idle during those periods. Even on
the days he has power, the current
is so low and variable that much
apparatus refuses to function. He
dare not ride elevators: all too Of
ten, they get stuck. The electrical
ly-propelled omnibuses and street.
cars on which he rides to work are
fewer these days; those left are
over-crowded. His favorite cafe
may have no coffee, if it has no
power to heat its pots.
Signora Rossi, if she cooks with
electricity, also has the two power
/ less days to worry about. If she
cooks with gas, she finds pressure
often too low to boil water. If gas
heats the hot water for her bath
room, as it does in many Rome
| houses, she and her family must
! bathe in cold, most days.
Stores are required to close ear
ly to save current. Their radio is sc
| faint, often, that it is impercept-
ible; their photograph turns out
noises like "braaaaaaw". Theaters
are reduced to so per cent of theil
average consumption which means
one or more shows fewer each day
Signera Rossi is now ordered Il
| read her own power meters, anC
make sure she uses less electricity
than she did last fall. This mean!
she must take her bills for Sept
ember and October, add the totals
divide by nine to get the weekl!
average, and figure out how mucl
current she may use to stay 15 pc
cent below last falls average con
sumption for lights and 35 per cen
sbelow that for other. purposes. Sh
must, too, post the figures besid
her meters, and submit to weekl,
spot checks.
If she fails to do all that, wo
unto her. She may have her powe
cut off. Or she may De fined.

DeNazihcation iii u. S.
Zone Nearly Finished

BERLIN-(P)-The vast deNazi-
fiction program in the U. S. zone is
grinding toward stop.
Theo Z. Hall, the American Of
ficial in charge Of rehabilitation,
says:
"We consider that the primary
mission of deNazification has been
accomplished in the U. S. zone.
From May, 1915 Nazis were kept
out of office until their cases were
disposed of. The majority are now
eligible to hold office.
During this critical three-year
period, however, the Land (stateD
constitutions were written and
elections held. This gave the new
governments chance to take root
and the Nazis had no part in their
formation"
Hall stressed that .'only in the
U. S. zone was the implementation
of the deNazificatioh program
turned over to the Germans"
Each state enacted an identical
law which requires every one over
is years Of age in the u. S. zone to
register About 1S,000,0OO persons
in the U. S. zone have registered
Some 9,500,000 were listed as
"incriminated." OF these, $500, ,O0C
small fry Nazis were granted am
nesty without trial. The trials OF
924,616 have been completed. The
remainder have died. About 25;OOC
I cases remain to be handled. Mosi
of these are new registrants," thai
is, PERSONS who have entered Ger.
many recently.
Of the $4,000 Nazis who were
tried $4,000 were deprived of theil
civil rights. Some 100000 Others
were placed on probation by thu
courts. About 478,000 were elasseI
as followers" and fined. Abou
! 1900 were freed. The remaindeI
were granted ainnesties.
Hall believes that the British

programs leave loop-holes fo
Nazis to return to positions %

Blackford Given
One-io-Eive Year
Sentence To Jail
Coal Run Farmer,
79. Found Guilty
Of Manslaughter

William A. Blackford, 79-year-
old Coal Run farmer, convicted
of voluntary manslaughter, was
sentenced Monday afternoon to
one to five years in the West Vir-
ginia state penitentiary, Mounds
vile.
Sentence was passed by Judge
Max DeBerry of the Ritchie
county circuit court in Harris
vile, w. Va. . After a five-day
trial, a jury late Saturday re-
turned verdict of guilty of vol
untary manslaughter. Blackford
had been charged with the first
degree murder of his sister, Mrs
Cleopatra Cunningham, of near
Pennsboro, w. Va.
The elderly farmer, who re-
manned calm throughout the
trial, appeared slightly shaken
when sentence was passed but
reiterated his innocence. Judge
DeBerry, upon motion of the de-
fense attorneys, granted Black
ford a 60-day period to consider
an appeal. Bond was set at $4,000
The jury in Harrisville was
out for more than six hours. AL
though officials had fixed the
date of Mrs. Cunningham's death
as July %, four defense witnesses
testified that they saw her after
that date. This testimony is be-
lieved to have weighed heavily
in Blackford's favor.
The body of Mrs. Cunningham
with bullet wounds in the jaw
and back was found at her home
on State Route so, near Penns-
boro, July 26. The Coal Rur
farmer was arrested the next day
after police had traced a Mari
eta taxicab seen near her home
on July %.
Blackford resided near the
Noble Washington county line.
