The crime commission lhad been inactive for several years, but chairman Maurice Wolkomir announced now was the time to summon it back into action. Public indignation and demands b> civic leaders rose to high pitch When- the mutilated body of the ).sixth : murder victim —a 29-yekr-old 'woman—was found Saturday. < Police Chief John Polcyn gsked Authorization for 50 more policeiimen for patrol duty in overcrowded sections of this brewing ; city. ■| Victim number six in the bibody, S hocking wee'll was found along a hiver bSnk. slashed and stabbed 27 nifties with a razor-sharp instrument.

BOMB CAPABLE (Continued From Fare One) tfee first A-bomb exploision. ; |h the old days of public discussion, preluding President Trumans decision of January, 1950, to develop it, the H-bomb frequently Was spoken of as potentially 1.000 ’lilies more powerful than the wartime A-bomb. \ . How powerful it is depends on how much of its power-producing materials —hydrogens of different weights—are packed ft). The Hbblnb is triggered by the multi-million-degree heat of an A-bomb. So it is an A-bomb plus-plus whatever explosive amount of hydrogen it; contains. Thus it is possible. If Eisenhower gives the H-bomb top priority, for the AEC to make a “whole family” of hydrogen bombs just as it has in the case of the A-bomb. TRUMAI4 MAY . , (Continued From P>a» One) the same time.

She said that educational latos in Germany 1 provide that each high school : student must spend a good deal of time on a farm as pant of »hls or her curriculum. In contrast with requirements in the United States, Misy Bertsch observed that by the time a German high school student has reached his senior year in schooi he already has three or four foreign languages under his belt; and it is compulsory tor all students to take English. “German farms are much more than American ones; absolutely northing is wasted; they don’t throw a thing away. Wiien they \eat you’d think that the plates had been washed \ clean at the end* of a meal," said the 4-H’er. ; “One ■ erroneous, idea we have in the United States is that the Germans have a lack of mechanization on their farms.” She said, “of course, there isn’t as much, but they use tractors to a great

extent, the shortage being found in the elaborate combines we Use Generally, their crop yields are about the same as ours.” . When asked where the greatest difference lies in comparing the lives of the Americans and their German farmer ’ brothers, MisBertsch said, is the food they Cat. She remarked on their diet lacking fresh vegetables. “Their meals are njonotonous, pork, potatoes and bread is their staple diet.” As for their methods of agriculture, Miss Bertscu said great strides are belnjg made in scientific farming through the U. S. advisory service in operation in Germany, a complement of the agricultural agent in the U. S. They educate the farmers on crpp rotation and fertilization to get the most out of the lano. Miss Bertsch said the American supported service has been in existence* in Germany for only three years. What about ’entertainment, is there any? A definite affirmative came back. “They have regular dances dur-

I was surprised once when I was taken to a fireworks display,” said Beulah. “it was about the last thing I expected to see, an<| it was very good. “They're simply crazy about our western music and sing them in German all the time, and were quite surprised when I didn’t know- the words to many of the American tunes.” Miss Bertsch made a very sur- - prising statement about past elections. “They’re more interested in what takes place in the U. S. titan in their own country; they displayed extreme interest in the general elections. Most of them were for Stevenson; they didn’t. like the idea of a military man for president,” she testified. Miss Bertsch will now undertake a tour of the state and give lectures to farm and rural groups on what she has observed of life in Germany, after which she will resume her studied at Heidelberg college at Tiffin, O.
