Ninety-five war crlmlrials have been executed at Landberg, now the official American execution center and once a Nazi shrine because It was In a cell In Landberg prison that Adolf Hitler wrote "Mein Kanrpf." The highest ranking Nazi to die today was August Eigruber, 40, who was the gaulelter of upper Austria which Mauthausen was situated 1939 to 1945. His sardonic last words were: "I regard it as an honor for me to be tried and hanged by trie most Inhuman of all victors. -God save Germany." Guard Changes Tune LANDBERG, Germany, May Prey, 23, who was a guard at Mauthausen concentration camp, told jailers that he was going to sing "Give Me Five Minutes More" and "Open the Door, Richard" as he marched the last mile to the gallows this morning. When the time came to go, however, he was completely subdued. His final words, delivered slowly, haltingly and without bravado were: I am praying like Jesus on the cross.

I am dying without fault. Father forgive them." Mississippi is luring a tourist trade with Its historic Battlefields, Gulf Coast, year around hunting and fishing, and food. By PATT WATTS NBA Staff Correspondent LOS ANGELES, May 16 Disabled vets are being promised town of own In Southern California. A town of houses with cxU'n- wide doorways to accept chairs, of sidewalks with ramps instead of curbs, of one-story buildings with no step-tips. A town with modern factories offering jobs that crippled fighting men can do; with backyard workshops; with land for with Us own civic center, hospital, open air theatre, motion picture house, swimming pool and churches for the four major groups.

A town In which a thousand handicapped for $5000 each can have their own homes and raise their families and live their lives under the most favorable circumstances. Song writer Harry Revel conceived the idea, not as a popular tune but as the town-to-be of Vetville. He hopes to raise the money through public gifts and benefit shows. Both fund-raising and actual construction are to be in the hands of a commission of civic, religious and screen personalities. Revel got the idea while entertaining service men during and since the war.

He has a 10 to 15 foot scale model. Veterans Administrator Omar Bradley likes the idea, and so do the veterans with whom Revel checked before going ahead this far. The model shows eight houses to the block. Backyards open into a central recreation area. Public buildings are on a wide Main Street running through the center of town.

A national bank has promised to finance veteran loans. Several corporations, including a spark plug manufacturer and a nail polish maker, have agreed to place factories In Vetville. Veterans are enthusnastlc about the idea. 'We do not feel that we will be Isolated there," says Ed Sweeney, Boy Finds Police Efficiency Slipping SPRINGFIELD, Mo. year-old Bobby Joe McCord's confidence in the police department was shaken when he went to the elation for the second time in three months to report a stolen bicycle and the officers took six hours to find it.

He was In tears last Christmas day when he first related to police the theft of the bicycle he bad received as a present only a few hours earlier. But he left the station wide- eyed that time alter officers, who already had found the bicycle, turned it over to him. Crops Two Weeks Behind In State BALTIMORE. May 28 rye and wheat are heading on most of Maryland's farmlands, and corn is up one to six Indies in counties, the US. Weather Burcnu's crop reporting service said today.

Grain Is "gonei'iilly gooil to excellent," except on the Dclrmirvn. peninsula, where rye, wheat and barley are reported damaged "50 to 70 percent" by dry soil. Truck crops In the Western counties In general are approximately two weeks late, the service said. The strawberry crop In Southern counties Is reported abundant, and tobacco beds "have improved to excellent, except that there has been some damage by blue mold," the Weather Bureau snid. On the Eastern Shore the service said, "indications are that peaches were pretty well killed by the frost, but other fruits are developing, with prospects for a fair to good crop." Worry Room Quiet In.

Boiler Works ST. LOUIS (If) The Nooter Boiler Works company has set up a special "worry room" where any of its employes, from office boy to president, may want to thrash out his personal problems unmolested.

"I canvassed the boys in the hospital.

We all feel that Vetville is a wonderful thing. We can be together there, and work for our living." Sucked Into Sand Hopper and Lives PROVIDENCE, R. May 28. (If) the word that best describes 15-year-old William Sweet. William was sucked Into 85 tons of sand in 4 a huge hopper and came out a funnel at the base suffering only a few bruises and shock.

Police gave this version: Sweet and another boy, playing around the top of the hopper which is level with a vacant lot, were sucked into the machine when workmen started a conveyor belt. Sweet helped his companion reach a crossbar as they went Into the chute and then sank from sight himself. Workmen cut the conveyor belt and began emptying the hopper. Fifteen minutes later the boy had tunneled through tons of sand to a 12-Inch square outlet at the base. Firemen pulled him out, gave him a few drafts from an inhalator and sped him to Rhode Island State Hospital.
