Greene WASHINGTON, April 20-UP)-An American army officer ack nowledged today that weird "mock trials" were staged but denied that brutality was used to wring con fessions from German storm troops in the Malmedy mascacre case of World War II. Lt. Col. Burton F. Ellis, the chief prosecutor, told the senate armed services committee that the pro cedure was "proper" under the rules of evidence permitted by the army in Europe. Outside the hearing room. Sen-, ator McCarthy (R-Wis) told news Cost of County Road Repairs To Eliminate New Projects Extensive winter-damage to Marion county roads probably will be repaired by next winter but the cost of the program will eliminate any new road work this summer, Marion County Judge Grant Murphy said Wednesday. Although exact number of miles of damaged roads have not been determined repair costs are expected to reach to about $250,000. ui this amount $75,000 already has been spent on patching and graveling roads since February's thaw. Nearly all graveled roads are about up to par, the judge said. Exceptions are a few sections where coarse rock was used to fill holes. These spots must be leveled off with smaller rock. The rest of the surfaced road damage ranges from those roads which were only slightly damaged to those which were completely broken up. These latter will have to be rebuilt from the bed up, the judge said. Cost on this type of repair is about $5000 per mile. Some of the worst damage to roads occurred in the east Salem area and Pratum, Central Howell and St. Paul districts. The coun ty's annual program of adding a number of miles of graveled road to, the surface road class will have to be abandoned this summer, the judge said. good will of the customer."

Johnson Tells Food Problems Of Venezuela The huge task of developing agriculture in Venezuela, to over come "terrific food shortage be cause our oil industry upset the economy," was depicted to Salem Rotary club Wednesday noon by R. G. Johnson, former Oregon State college professor. Johnson said high wages paid when U. S. capital started oil oper ations pulled workers away from the farms, many of which have been wholly abandoned. As a re sult, "the country Is living out of ship holds." In charge of livestock develop ment for the Venezuelan Basle Economy corporation, largely fi nanced from the U. S., Johnson de scribed one of the two ranches pre pared by the corporation, on which the grass never dries out, is never flooded and needs no irrigation and which supports nearly one head of cattle per acre. He noted that the program includes no hogs because the peons need for food all the grain available and that poultry ia limited for the same reason. Johnson said he had a fully mod ern house during his two years in South America and traveled prin cipally by air because of the bad roads, but that this country's cost of living is only one-third to one half as high as Venezuela's. He warned that statements of "big op portunities" there could not be fully accepted, and that increased competition in business and em ployment is coming from displaced persons from Europe.
