Kesselring Admits Aiding in Annihiliation of Coventry.
NUERNBERG, Maych 12 (U. P.), —Responsibility for the German annihilation bombing of Coventry in 1940 was pinned squarely on Reichsmarshal- Hermann Goering by one of his own defense witnesses
Marshal Albert Kesselring, testifying before the war crimes court regarding the plans for the no‘torious bombing of Coventry, said
‘paring them.” Goering probably will testify in
row, his attorney, Otto Stahmer, said. ‘
Meanwhile, Lord Halifax, in an affidavit prepared for the war crimes court, hds expressed belief that Goering would have kept Germany out of war if he had been able, the American-sponsored Neu Zeitung reported today. si

AS ‘CAVERNS
Anti-Saloon Leagut Officer Rags Lack of Light.
Hoosier taverns should be called caverns because they're darker than Mammoth cave, Clayton M. Wallace, new superintendent of the Indiana Anti-Saloon league, said here
today. Mr. Wallace said that while en route to Indianapolis from Wolfeporo, N. H, his home, he stopped at Mammoth cave and “started into its gloomy depths. “I want to say the blackness seems no greater than the dusk and gloom of most of the taverns I have seen since coming here. They are so dark the bartenders would have to be equipped with cats’ eyes to be able to discern if the customer is man.or woman, 8 or 80 years old, and whether he'is sober or drunk.” Speaks at Luncheon Speaking at the Y. M. C. A. at a Juncheon given in honor of him and Mrs. Wallace, the incoming dry leader declared: “These taverns could well be called caverns because there, under the influenée of alcohol, the caveman instincts are unloosed . . . There men and women drink together and released from controls built up by culture, religion and education, turn back to the appetites and desires of Neanderthal man. “The alcoholic beverages .commission is to be commended upon its insistence that the tavern owner spend more for lights on the inside of their establishments, even if they have to turn off their aurora borealis of neon lighting outdoors to do so.” Backs French Lick Ruling
Mr. Wallace also praised the A. B. C. for denying a liquor permit to the French Lick American Leglon post. “I think the A. B. C. deserves to be heartily commended for its stand in this manner,” he said. He asserted the question of local option is “of prime importance. to all church people. Everywhere in the state people are aroused. There is no doubt ix my mind but that jocal option will be one of the most important, if not the most important issue before the 1947 legislative session.” J L. E. York, retiring superintendent, introduced the speaker. «
