Army Admits
Mock Trials in
Malmedy Case
By Roger D. 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.

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.
The speaker was formerly a
county agent in Grant county and
later head of the OSC animal hus
bandry department.
