He also identified as Miss Gillars’ a voice in a Nazi wartime

the way mothers would suffer if they died fighting the Nazis. Mr. Houben said Gillars made the broadcast on May 11, 1944, in Berlin, beamed to American frbops awaiting D-Day. Its jobject was “to prevent the in-| vasion,” he said. The defense had claimed Miss Gillars refused to broadcast “anything hurtful” to the United States,

Scene Laid in Ohio

The broadcast, a transcript. of which was heard in the courtroom, opened with the sound of a steamship whistle followed by the whine of diving planes. A {series of men's voices intoned| that the “D” of D-Day “stands| for doom . disaster , , . de-| feat . , death ee Dunkirk or | Dieppe. » The scene

switched to Ohio

{where a supposedly American

mother was telling her husband how she feared their son would be killed in the invasion. Miss Gillars was born in Portland, Me., but grew up in Conneaut, O. The mother's voice, identified by Mr. Houben as Miss Gillars’, that the late President

war” and said that -one of the Rouséveit sons at that time was in Miami “sunning himself.”

== Family Unity

Stressed by Pope

VATICAN CITY, Jan. 31 (UP) ~—Pope Pius XII has called for the “urgent consolidation of the

Christian family.” In" a 15-minute broadcast in Spanish to the Eucharistic

Congress in Colombia yesterday, the Pontiff said the Christian family had an “almost divine mission—that is the one of transmitting and kindling life just as fire is transmitted from one altar candle to the next.” The 1200-word speech contained no direct reference to political and international problems. It was broadcast by the Vatican radio. “Few necessities are today so urgent as the consolidation of the Christian family . . . ,” the Pope said, “few so unpostponable as the rehabilitation of this national fountain of life if the very existence of humanity is to be saved and act so that the fruit of the redemption in it will not f “Even its very unity and Indissolubility, even its transcendental finality could be said to be in danger today,” the Pope added.

What happens when you psychroenergeticize a cow? Is it too far to walk to the separator? What does carbon dioxide have to do with the sex life of

Congress is being asked to appropriate $50 million so that answers can be found to these questions—and hundreds of others that are just as challenging.

There's little doubt that Congress will appropriate this sum. What's more, it may prove to be the smartest money that body spends. That's the cost of the U, 8. Department of - Agriculture's research program for the coming year. Congressmen, whether they represent farm or city districts, long ago learned the great divi-

earned as a result of this work. Trying to answer questions like these is one of the big factors behind America's huge food production.

butter sticks to the roof of the mouth is part of a project to’ ims prove the whole peanut industry. Peanut butter uses about half of all the peanuts consumed as food. If peanut butter could be made that would not stick to the roof of the mouth, it is believed it would double or triple the demand for peanuts and be worth millions of dollars to their growers. Psychroenergetics is the study of how heat, cold, humidity, ventilation and other conditions affect the production of milk, meat and other animal products.

A typical problem is to find why cows gives less milk during a winter cold snap, and then to find how farm buildings can be modified to keep up the milk flow. This work is being conducted at Columbia, Mo.
