Pepper and Kilgore presented the meeting with a long statement of legislative proposals. It ran 2300 words, including about 700 worths of quotes from the late President Roosevelt. In some cases they merely recommended “areae of proposed action." In others they mentioned specific bills. o German Civilians Sentenced To Die Seven Convicted Os Killing U.S. Airmen | Darmstadt, Aug. I—‘(UP)1 —‘(UP) Ihe

residents of the bomb-ruined town of Darmstadt were silent today, grimly aware that seven German civilians, including two women have neon sentenced by an American military court to die. Those sentenced to death Were charged -with participating in the mob murder of six United Slates airmen near the village of Russelsheim last August. Three others drew long prison terms. One was acquitted. The otiinned villagers sat ligidly last night while the Seventh Army Military commission, after a four-hour deliberation, announced the sentences. The time and place of the hangings will be determined by Lt. Gen. Wade Haisllp, commander of the Seventh. Those who must die are: Margarette Witzler, 50. Kathe Reinhardt, 38, Joseph Hartgen, 42, Friedrich Wust, 45, Johannes Seipel, .67, Johann Upper, 59, and Philip Gutlich, 47. August Wolf, 43, and Heinrich Bartel, 48, were sentenced to 15 years at hard labor, while George Damn drew 25 years. Karl Fuginann, 41, was acquitted. Gray-haired Fraulein Witzler burst into tears When Brig. Gen. Garrison Davidson read the sentences. Frau Reinhardt gasped. Seipel murmured, “I did nothing." The others were motionless. A dozen military police, armed with machine guns, guarded the courtroom but there was no demonstration, although the severity of the sentences apparently shocked the spectators.

In a last effort to save tile defendants, German defense attorneys in summing up their case had blamed Paul Josef Goebbel's hate propaganda for instilling into German minds the idea of killing Allied aviators.

I.—(UP)—Reports (hat vast quantities of rancid butter and spoiled cheese have been sold by the government tor soap making met with a firm denial today from the office of price administration.

It® statement followed published charges that soap companies were buying large quantities of spoiled butter and cheese through an Indianapolis broker. Sen. Kenneth Wherry, R., Neb., said that OPA officials here had approved the transaction. ' The OPA’s case wa« presented by rationing chief Max McCollough.

however, he said, an OPA survey does disclose that E. Rauh & Sons of Indianapolis, acting as a broker has bought reclaimed butter fat, processed from cheese rind, front Rosenberg & Sons, Green Bay, Wis„ and from Barclay Chemical Co. of New York City. Reclaimed butter fat of this type has been sold by E. Rauh & Sons from time to time to soap makers. “ . . . This rind contains some mold, paraffin (used to protect the cheese) and cheese bandage In reclaiming butter fat from cheese, it is impossible to separate all the cheese ingredients and paraffin from the butter fat. Therefore. reclaimed butter fat is not a pure, edible product. It is apparent that the Indianapolis story . . . was based on these sales of reclaimed butter fat, incorrectly described as ‘tons of rancid butter and spoiled cheese.’ ” More Gasoline For Civilians Unlikely Indianapolis, Aug. 1— (UP) — More gasoline for civilians before the end of the Pacific war was termed unlikely today by George W. Hoffmayer, executive secretary of the Indiana independent petroleum association. Hofmayer pointed out that although there has been a moderate decrease in military gasoline requirements, more fuel oil will be needed with the transfer of military activities from Europe to the Pacific. Unless more crude oil can be obtained, present stocks must be refined to produce more fuel oil and less gasoline, he said.

Validity Os OPA Ceilings Upheld Previous Decision Reversed By Court Washington, Aug. I—(UP)—The U. S. emergency court of appeals, reversing a previous decision, has upheld validity of OPA price ceilings covering b6ef and wholesale meat cuts produced by non-pro-cessing meat packers. The court on March 29 set aside the OPA’s maximum prices for non-processing slaughterers on the ground that this segment of the meat industry was not "breaking even" under ceiling prices. The non-processors are the “little meat men” of the indufity who produce fresh meat cuts for wholesaling, but are not equipped for processing such meat by-products as sausage, oil and tallow. The court, after reconsideration of the case at OPA’s request, said yesterday that its earlier ruling had been based upon incomplete evidence. it said additional evidence introduced by the OPA on operating figures of 46 non-processors in 1944 and 22 for early 1945, shows that a majority w’ere now “operating profitably.” “Generally, their operating experience was shown to be more favorable than in the pre-war years 193'6-1939,” the court added. The ruling dismissed a complaint against the ceilings filed by Heinz's Riverside Abattoir, Baltimore, and four other medium-sized packing companies.
