International Murder, Inc.
WHEN the top Nazi war criminals were first rounded up.
** nanv people urpred tiie allies to “take ’em out and
shoot ’em” and not waste time or dignify the culprits by
giving them a formal trial. Fortunate** the allied govern-
ments did not lined these requests. And the wisdom ol
their decision is being strengthened duily as the Nuernberg j
trial progresses.
The trial not only sets the sensible precedent of re-
garding as a criminal and punishable offense the deliberate
planning of the mass murder which is culled war. It not
only reveals to the Germuns the infamy of tin1 gang whom
they chose to lend them. It also kills forever thi’^ ajga*
mont, heard even Decently in some quarters, that “Hitler
did a lot of good tilings for the Germans” in tile early
years of ilia regime.
Tiie prosecution lias unfolded the Nazi war plans step
by step, backward from Hitler’s connivance with Jupan to
involve this country in war to the plots against Poland
and Czechoslovakia and Austria, and tiie determination to
ruoectipy the Hhiuelund. And as one damning Nazi docu-
ment after another hus been produced, the last possible ex-
cuse for anv of tiie Nazis’ actions has disappeared.
* * *
il'E can see now thut, while Hitlef* was shrewd enough to
make some of them sound slightly plausible, every “in-
cident” which seemed to goad him to military action ir
the late thirties was deliberately planned. The injustice
of the Polish Corridor, tiie plight of tiie Sudbten Germans
and all tiie rest were created with the utmost cynicism
Hitler even planned to assassinate his own minister ir
Prague, if necessary, to touch off war with Czechoslovak!*
if appeasement were not forthcoming.
The ordinary citizens of Hie nations that went to war
and even some of tlleir statesmen, cannot lie considerec
too stupid and blameworthy for having been somewhat
taken in by pre-war Nazi propaganda. It wa* natural tc
sqspect that what proved to lx* among tin* truest and mos
. erious accusation- against Hitler and hi. motives might
be products of prejudice or faulty information.
No trial in the history of crime and punishment liar
ever disclosed such a tale of cold-blooded, premeditated
slaughter. Its full enormity would seem incredible if it
were not for the detailed and secret records kept by tiiesi
systematic butchers. They are records for all tin* world tc
ponder and remember, so that the symptoms may be rec-
ognized if another such~murderous gang should ever again
plot the conquest of a peace-loving world.

” —Action of the house defi-
ciency committee In eliminating,
or rather attempting to eliminate,
all of the flood control projects
submitted to it as emergency pro-
jects in the name of economy raine
as a distinct surprise and disap-
pointment to the country. Includ-
ed In the long list of Hood control
piojects were two important unfin-
ished projects in Oklahoma—the
Canton dam on the Canadian riv-
er In Blaine county and the Foil
Gibson project, In eastern Okla-
homa.
All of the 110 flood control pro-
jects had been approved by the
army engineers alter detail survey',
had been made. All had been care-
fully considered by the Hood con-
trol committee and authorized by
the congress. In addition to that,
the appropriations committee had
held some 10 days hearings cov-
ering over 200 pages of printed
testimony.
So It was not surprising that
when the bill was submitted to
the house last week that body
took the proverbial bull by the
horns and restored funds for the
llood projects that had been ar-
bitrarily eliminated by the house
committee. I
In taking this action it Is now
certain that the 59 projects al-
ready under construction, includln
Canton and Fort Gibson, which
were stopped because ol the war.

It lias made assurance that many
other new projects on will h actual
construction had not been started

and labor are available.
When these projects urc finished

TT'ASHINGTON,' D. C.—The curtain can be lifted a little no’
” on the Army Air Fonees’ new super-bomber, the B-36.
Just as the B-29 Superfortress made the B-17 Flying Fortress obsc
lete, so the B-36 will make the B-29 obsolete. The B-36 is not, how
ever, a brand-new, postwar development.
Drawings and general description of the plat
were shown to a group of newspaper correspond
ents at Wright Field, Ohio, in December, 194
Mock-up and first articles were shown to corn
spondents at the Consolidated-Vultee plant in Fo
Worth a year ago. Characteristics and specific!
tions of the new plane were drawn up in 194
and the plane actually was on paper before tl
United States got into the war. It takes that loe
to develop a new plane.
A few basic comparisons will indicate how muc
bigger than the B-29 is the new B-36:
The B-29 is powered by four 2200 horsepowi
engines, a total of 8800 h.p.
The B-36 will have six 3000 h.p. engines, a total of 18,000 h.p. Fc
the first time in a multi-engined aircraft, all of the engines will b
"pushers,” mounted in the trailing edge of the wing, three on eac
side. More about these engines later.
T'HE B-29 weighed 105,000 pounds. B-36 will weigh 278,000 pound:
Fifty-two tons as against 139 tons.
Wing span of the B-29 is 141 feet. On the B-36 it is 230 feet. |
What the B-36 will do on range and speed can’t be determine
because the plane has not been flown. TBe B-29 has a maximui
speed of about 400 miles an hour at 25,000 feet. On the record
breaking non-stop flight from Guam to Washington, carrying onl
gasoline and no bombs, a B-29 made 8198 miles. An average fligl
for a B-29 was 5000 miles carrying 5000 pounds of bombs.
The 3000 h.p. engines are another wartime development thi
never got into combat, though several planes—fighter*, bombers an
I transports—have been designed around them.
They are properly Navy engines, begun back in 1940 when
contract was given to Pratt and Whitney division of United Aircra
for their development. Over two million dollars were put into tt
design, engineering and making of the first models at East Hartfori
Conn. The engine has been In quantity production for some tim
It is known as the Wasp Major, or just “the major."
