Denver, Sept 15 U.R) A
31-year-old negress was charged
today with fatally shooting a
19-year-old co-worker In the lob
by of the Denver ordnance plant.
The woman charged with mur
der was Mrs. Amanda Branson.
Her alleged victim was Mrs.
Frieda Stoker. Details of the
shooting, which occurred last
night, were not released until
today by the federal bureau of
investigation and plant officials,
Officials at the plant said the
.38 caliber revolver used was
brought into the plant in a semi
concealed compartment of s

Washington U.R) Centuries
ago the Chinese used seaweed
for food. Since then it's been a
fertilizer, a fuel, a "cure" for
tuberculosis and goiter, an es
sential in the manufacture of
some munitions and now again
is being studied for possible food
value.
University of California sci
entists believe investigations un
der way along the Pacific coast
may uncover vital sources of nu
tritive food In kelp or seaweed
along the beaches. It Is already
being harvested on the east coast
as far south as the Carolinas.
The- surveys prompt the Na
tional Geographic society to re
call seaweed history that began
when ancient Chinese gathered.
boiled and ate "pond weed" and
'duck weed."
American Indians refused to
eat salt believing it turned hair
gray and hastened death but
they did get their full quota of
the mineral by gathering and
eating "sea lettuce." More than
75 edible varieties grow in the
Hawaiian islands.
In Iceland, it has been the cus
tom for generations to haul sea
weed onto the beaches, bury It in
deep trenches and then tamp it
into solid cakes. In the winter
time chunks of it are broken off
and fed to cattle.
' As far back as 1835, the vari
ety known as Irish moss was im
ported from Ireland as a sure
cure for tuberculosis, its sellers
said. They sold it here for prices
ranging from one to two dollars
a pound.
During the World War the
Germans used dried seaweed to
seal grenades. It expanded when
exposed to high humidity,
pushed a small metallic firing
point against an ampule contain
ing the powder and exploded the
grenade.
The present experiments in
harvesting kelp from the Pacific
coastal waters is resurrecting
an industry neglected since the
World War. Then it was used as
substitute for German potash
m manufacturing fertilizers. The
present supply Is expected to
replace soma of the valuable
gums which can no longer be
obtained, the society says.
Most of the Maine-to-Carolln
seaweed, of the Irish variety. Is
now processed for use in pud
dings, medicines, cosmetics and
lotions. It is also the substance
that stabilizes chocolate In a
chocolate drink so that it doesn't
separate from the milk and sink
to the bottom of the bottle.
FOREIGN POLICY
VOTE EFFORT IS
ALLIES MISSED
BOAT IN ITALY
By United Press
Lieut Gen. Kurt Dietmar,
German war commentator, as
serted today that the Allies could
have landed In Italy and gained
control of the greater part of
the countrry if they had acted
soon after Benito Mussolini was
deposed ' is Italian premier on
July 25.
Dietmar was quoted by the
Berlin radio that German forces
in Italy were far too weak at
the time of Mussolini's fall to
cope with any Allied landing in
force.
"The Allies had every meant
to carry out such landings," he
said. "Nothing and nobody could
have prevented them from doing
it. But they relied on political
circumstances following Musso
lini's ouster rather than on their
unquestionably superior military
strength.''
Washington. Sept 15 (U.R)
The House of Foreign Affairs
