Nazi Atrocities Bring Warning To All Germans They Must Pay Price JAKES F. KIMC staff Writer LONDON, April The Unit- States, Britain and Russia i have drafted a final solemn warn- i ing to the Germans that both the top Nazis and those who have done the "foul work with their Tfl HQtPl lU 1 i I At Iprh HI I GUI Honorary degree of doctor of own hands" will be made to payj science will be "conferred on Otto Vincent Adams, dean of the division of engineering at Texas Tech, for atrocities committed againn the Allies, Prime Minister Churchill announced today. Disclosure that the warning had during commencement been drafted by to ba held there today. from Colorado A. M.

college exercises Truman and Premier Stalin and would be issued within a ''very few days" was made by Churchill to the House ol Commons, whose anger flamed as a result of direct word from Gen. Eisenhower that atrocities just discovered far surpass" anything seen before. Nazis May Fading Out In what appeared to be a suggestion that the central' Nazi government might not last even long enough 'to receive the warning, Churchill said it had been prepared "for the German government or whatever authorities exist." Nazi atrocities have become of paramount importance in communications between the "Big Three," the Prime Minster said, disclosing that a delegation from Parliament would leave tomorrow at the invitation of Eisenhower to see first hand "these gruesome scenes." One woman is on the eight-member committee appointed to get personal proof of the crimes. Anger And Concern The flaring of anger toward the Nads and concern for prisoners still in their hands swept through Commons after Churchill had fenced good-naturedly. with members who tried to him into talking about prospects for victory day in Europe.

The Prime Minister said that any V-E proclamation would come' in concert with the United States and Russia. He emphasized both "military and political considerations" would be taken into account. He added that he did not mean domestic political considerations. Discussing Nazi atrocities, Churchill declared that "no words can express the horror which is felt by His Majesty's government and their Allies at proof of these frightful crimes now daily coming into view." All Art Included warning of retribution, he said, grimly, is being directed "not only to the men at the top but to the actual people who have done this foul work with their own hands." "No order from superior authority would be any shield to them," he said. The Prime Minister said he would not make his expected war statement to Commons for at least another two weeks, and only then if he deemed the time suitable.

Explaining that good work done Dean Adams extended beyond the campus, Prof. Henry G. Jordon, acting dean of the division of engineering at Colorado A. will read the citation as follows to Roy M. Green, president of A.

M. "His professional associates have honored him by making him vice president of the Texas section of the American. Society of Civil Engineers. He has done distinguished service in training men for war work and as chairman of the Northwest Texas committee on Engineering Science Manage- i ment War Training." A native of Colorado, Dean Adams entered A. M.

in 1903, withdrew two years later to become a civil and drainage engineer in Monte "Vista, Colo. He was graduated from the University of Mich, in 1924 and came to Tech in 1927, and was made dean of the engineering division in 1932. Lights Are To Burn Again In Britain LONDON, April 19.

More and better trade between North America and Latin American: nations was struck yesterday as the keynote 'of the first annual Texas Pan-American relations day to be observed here May 1. A declaration- of purpose, outlined at a reception in the Mexican consulate for planners of the event, stressed "reciprocal commercial relations on an equitable basis for the mutual benefit of aE as a guarantee of a lasting and harmonious solidarity." Representatives of the Latin American diplomatic corps in Washington have been invited to the May 1 observance, which is under direction of the Mexican government as this host nation. Many Workers Placed Jobs AUSTIN, April 19. E. Belk, state director of the War Manpower commission, reported today that 54,432 Texas workers, including 5,993 veterans, were placed on essential and high priority jobs during March.

Although this is a drop of 1,535 placements under last month, 11,051 more persons contacted U. S. Employment service offices in. Texas than in February. Belk said that in March 18,056 sought jobs or informa- tionr Of "this, 16,297 were veterans of this war.

Out of 5,993 placed on jobs, 1,088 were handicapped in some way. that all blackout restrictions limiting the amount of light which may be shown from houses, offices and factories, will be removed except for those in a five-mile belt all around the coast of Britain. AWARDED DISTINGUISHED FLYING Lt. C. -I.

(Chubby) Cobb who served 11 months in the Pacific, recently was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross by Lt. Ccl. Renner of the 9th Marine Air Wing, Cherry Point, N. for 'heroism and extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight against the enemy as a section and division leader of a Marine fighting squadron in the Solomons and Bismarck Archipelago from Dec. 28, 1943 to Aug.

8, 1944." The citation accompanying the award points out that Lt. Cobb took part in 65 fighter sweeps and escort and strafing missions, and on Jan. 20, while escorting a bomber grcup near Rabaul, pressed his attack against a flight of superior Japanese interceptors and succeeded- in shooting down one.fighter. Lt. Cobb, son of Mr.

government, the two P-51 aces arrived at the big west base in the new class of combat veterans at LAAF for the advanced instrument instructors course and are now making then- homes in the city with their wives. Teaming up for the past two years, the two officers have written two of the more impressive combat records of the war with their daring tactics in leading the famed 357th Fighter group of the Eighth Air force to two records in combat and hanging up indi- SINUS, CATARRH SUFFERERS FOR MISERY DUE TO NASAL COHMSTION SnpDlj- Eiahed Sattttttt JLeinln Belief at last from tie torture ol tinea irouble, catarrh, and hay fever to nasal coneestion is seen today in reports of success with vriiich has tbe power to reduce nasal congestion.

Only this week, a news story with an Eighth Air Force fighter station dateline from England in the Army Times told how Capt. Yeager personnally received permission from Gen.

Eisenhower to fly again in the European air war after being shot down, wounded and ordered home. Downed Five ME-109s Immediately afterwards, Capt Yeager went out and shot down five ME-109s in less than a minute to earn the first of two Silver Stars and a number of other outstanding awards. Major Anderson, 23, and Capt. Yearger, 22, met when their squad- ron tint started terming tot combat, staymi together through "ma- Yeager. met when their squau- gether and although they were separted for three months while Capt.

Yeager was making his way back out of Europe after being wounded and shot down, flew out their missions together and are now back in the states. Both went over in November, 1943, and soon went into action against what was then a powerful Nazi Lufewaffe. Wounded Botobudiex Things went fine until Capt. Yeager's eighth mission -when he was shot down over enemy territory- The captain didn't have any intention of ending his combat career that quick, however, and started on his way back to England through an unnamed route. He came upon a wounded bombardier and helped him back to England also.

For that bit of heroism he was awarded the Bronze Star medal, an award usually reserved for heroic actions of the infantryman. During the period that Capt. Yeager was returning to his base in England Major Anderson completed his initial tour of missions and returned to the States. In September 1944 he went back over and joined the same unit and he and Capt. Yeager teamed up again, finishing their part of the job together.

In brief here are their accomplishments: Major Anderson has 18 Nazi planes to his credit, 17 of them downed in flight, one on the ground. He flew 116 missions, never turning back on a single mission which in itself was an unusual feat. When he left in January he was among the top notch fighter plane aces of the ETO. He wears the Air Medal with 13 Oak Leaf Clusters and the Distinguished Flying Cross with three Clusters, the ETO ribbon with two stars and the Unit Citation. Destroyed IS Enemy Planes Capt.

Yeager has 15 enemy planes to his credit, 12 of them destroyed in flight, three on the ground. He flew 64 missions. On Sept. 12, 1944 he was leading his outfit when jumped by 22 ME- 109s. Heading straight into the Nazi raiders Yeager downed five of them in less than a minute of blazing action.

For that he was awarded the Silver Star, fifth highest award in the nation. On Nov. 27, 1944, he and Major Anderson were on an escort mission with bombers when 30 of the American planes intercepted over 200 FW-lMs. Ctpt. got lour more enemy craft in a few seconds of furious dogfights and Major Anderson downed three.

For that feat, Capt. Yeager was awarded a Cluster to the first Silver Star, signifying a second award of that decoration. On another mission he got a ME-262, a jet propelled job and damaged two jet planes, for which he was awarded the DFC. He also wears the Air Medal with six Oak Leaf Clusters, the Purple Heart, the ETO ribbon with three the Unit Citation and the Pre-Pearl Harbor Ribbon. About those five planes.

Quoting Army Times and the story that told ho'v Capt. Yeager got Gen. Ike's permission to fly again: "Acting as a group leader of the 357th Fighter group on an escort mission in the vicinity of Bremen Germany, Yeager spotted 22 ME- 109s and gave immediate and determined attack. His first swift, bold pass caused two Nazi pilots io bail out of their aircraft before the Mustang pilot opened his guns on them. Sawed In Half "Closing up to 600 yards on two more German planes, he opened fire.

One of the enemy planes skidded off to the left, smoking, and went crashing into the ground. The flier's bullets ripped into the next one and sawed the fuselage in half. The 109 exploded in midair. Still persistently after the Germans, Yeager pursued and shot down his fifth victim after a chase from 23,000 to 18,000 feet. "Yeager's group scored eight victories on this mission and the bombers were unmolested to drop their loads on the Reich." Both men helped cover the invasion of Normandy.

Their group holds the record for the most enemy planes downed in one 600 from February 1944 to February 1945. They "also, until this week when the Nazis took their worst beating of the entire war in the air, held the record for the number of Nazi planes downed on one mission, 57 near Berlin on Jan. 14. On two different occasions Major Anderson downed three planes in action and on several other occasions got two on one. mission.

Both went over at the same time, returned the last time on Feb. 1, 1945, together. Both married California girls within three days of each other upon their return to the States, and now live within two blocks of each ether in Lubbock. Lubbock.

MMUNMN No Runts among these grunts A LOT of credit goes to our Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations where men spend their lives working out improved methods of breeding and feeding. For example, E. F.

Ferrin, head of the swine division of the University of Minnesota, recently ran a feeding test with seven lots of pigs. He found that too small an amount of protein in the ration produces more runts, slower gains and less profit. AH pigs in the test started at an average weight of 50 pounds and were self-fed without pasture for 14 weeks. All seven lots received the same kind of protein supplement which was tankage and soybean meal in equal with 10 alfalfa meal to supply adequate" amounts of vitamins. Some lots got a E.F.

Ferrin high-protein ration of the total feed); others were cut down to 15 and 12 protein. As pigs get heavier, they need less protein, so in some lots the amount of protein was reduced as they gained in weight. The best results came from an 18 protein ration until the pigs reached 100 pounds, and 15 protein after that weight. The hogs on low-protein rations made smaller gains and were more uneven in individual weights when the test ended. By just such careful experiments, the "know-how" of hog raising has reached its present efficiency.

There's More Money in Eggs if you: 1) collect them often, 2) cool them promptly, 3) keep them clean. All this improves their grade 'i and therefore means a better. price tc you. SULPHUR FOR LAMB COCCIDIOSIS Coccidiosis in lambs may be successfully prevented by the addition of ground crude sulphur to tfteir feed in proportions ranging front to of the ration, claims the Idaho Wool Growers Bulletin. Effectiveness of this sulphur treatment has been demonstrated by the U.S.D.A.

working in. cooperation with large lamb feeders, the report states. CATFISH CAN'T RAISE CORN Nature has equipped catfish with feelers so they can find way about in muddy, silt-laden rivers. Most of that mud arid silt is rich topsoil from once fertile farmlands; the type of soil that should still be producing 50 to 100 bushels of corn. Catfish can't use that fertile mud to raise com, and that's too bad.

Because right now, America needs all the corn it can produce. There's no need to let catfish have any part of your farm. Your topsoil can be saved. Soil conservation practices hold the raindrops where they fall, control water erosion, stop gullying, stabilize the soil. The Agricultural Extension Service of your State University will be glad to help you work out a special program to fit your farm.

Through soil conservation practices fertility is maintained, crops make better yields, carrying capacity of pastures is increased, more and cheaper feeds are provided for livestock. All this means more money in the farmer's pocket. Swift Company believes that whatever helps livestock helps all of meat packer and consumer. To you as a producer, we earnestly suggest that an investigation of soil conservation land management may be a imp ton. worth your while.

Keep Your Cream Checks Up! If you've noticed that the cream content of your milM goes down at this time of year, it may indicate that your dairy cows are not getting all the feed they need for heavy production. Those first blades of grass aren't good as they look, for they won't give the all proteins they require. So don't turn your dairy cattla out to graze and expect them to take care of all feed requirements with early pasture. Supplement their spring ration of grass with grain and.V protein supplement mixture, and hay grain and pro- tein supplement for milk production, hay for necessary. roughage.

This tonic is sure to put new spring in step of an undernourished cow. The best indication of contentment in the dairy herd is the butterfat test of your milk!

A MILLION EXTRA ANNUAL MEAT RATIONS Approximately 200 million of meat a year are being wasted as a result of bruises, crippling and death losses of livestock in transit to market, according to H.
