US Woman
Convicted Of
Nazi Leanings
MUNICH. Germany. April 38 (PI
A Bavarian denazification court has
convicted Baroness Erna von Red
wltx, a native American citizen, of
being a follower of nazis. Charges
ham been filed against a second
U S. citizen.
Both actions were taken In the
absence of the defendants. They
were the first denazification charges
to be filed in Bavaria against any
persons other than German citl
zens. The Germans obtained per
mission from the military govern'
ment to proceed.
Baroness von Redwitz. now pre-
sumed to be living In Chicago, was
fined 2000 marks. (The mark, val
ued at 10 cents at the military rate
ot exchange, is now held at 30 cents
for most purposes In the American
and British zones). In order to re
gain property she left in Germany
she must come here and present a
claim.
Richard J. Franke. 42. a German
born American citizen, has been in
dicted by German officials as an
early member of the nazi party.
Franke. an interior decorator, is
listed as a resident of Detroit. Mich.
Both the baroness and Franke were
repatriated to the United States
after the war because neither had
lost American citizenship.

Alaska Hit
SAN FRANCISCO. April 58 i;P
Alaska's Governor Ernest Gruening
says maybe Soviet airmen have
flown over Alaska recently but he
doesn't believe it They don't need
to, he adds; Russia already knows
"everything we have there."
Alaskan defenses now are as in
adequate as they were when the
last war began and Japanese seized
Kiska, he told interviewers here yes
terday. He said that for many years
before the war Alaska's defenders
were 200 Infantrymen without ma
chlnegun or anti-aircraft guns.
' Gruening said he thought the ter
ritory never would be developed
fully unless It achieved statehood.
Blocking statehood, he said, were "a
monopoly of Seattle shipping inter
ests, absentee mining interests, and
others they have convinced." But he
added that "we have every hope
that the Alaska statehood bill will
get through the house this session."

HAL BOYLE
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK ii The dry Ice
business the sale of diamonds for
the glitter trade or industrial use
is getting more of an American
accent. And Uncle Sam is buying
heavily.
Before the war 75 per cent of
the world's diamonds were marketed
in the United States.
"Now it's about 85 per cent." said
Joseph Baum-
gold. secretary
of the world's
largest diamond
cutting firm,
"and business is
up 35 per cent
over last year."
The number
one customer is
the man who
wants to plunk Si
down $200 to
J600 for a ring
as a gift to his
wife-to-be or an anniversary pres
ent for his wife.
That will get him a stone of from
one-fifth to one-half a karat de
pending on its quality or a ring
made of "melee'' diamond frag
ments smaller than one-fifth of a
karat.
Mass Business
Diamonds are a mass rather than
a class business. Only 15 per cent
of it is on the luxury level over
$500 a stone.
Biggest buyer today after the
prospective bridegroom Is Uncle
Sam.
"The government is stockpiling
diamonds again," said Baumgold.
"They are a strategic mineral."
He wouldn't go into any detail.
The two things diamond dealers
dislike discussing most are the ex
tent of government purchases and
those by moneyed men who buy
diamonds for women they aren't
married to and don't intend to
marry. Smart buyers tend to get
diamonds for their wives at one
store and those destined for other
ladies at another shop. It cuts down
embarrassing errors the kind a
man doesn't like to make.
Two customs the dealers are try
ing to encourage: The buying of
melee" diamonds for women's wed
ding rings and the practice some
wives have developed of giving their
husbands gold wedding bands con
taining one to three diamonds.
Worn as Warning
They figure It's worth the money
to them if he wears the ring that
warns other women that their man's
off the matrimonial market." said
one dealer cheerfully.
War has changed the diamond
market in several ways. Few people
know or remember that the dia
mond is the hardest thing on earth
tougher than a banker's heart in
a depression. Industry has found
nothing to take its place to cut and
grind metals.
"Before the war 95 per cent of
the diamonds here went into tile
gem trade." said Bnunutold. "Only
5 per cent were used industrially.
Now it s about 35 per cent.
It is one business where they
can't afford the old industry slogan:
"Let the chips fall where they
may."
Warning Given

food and drug administration Issued
a nation-wide warning against use
of a particular brand of injection

Better Pay Asked
For Ministers
B08TON, April 38 iv The Mrlh
odltt Rural Fellowship Tuesday
prepared a demand for better train
ed and paid county ministers.
The request will be presented at
the quadrennial general confereni-e
of tlie Meihodlst church which
opens here tomorrow.
Professor C. M. McConnell of Bos
ton university told a Fellowship
group last night that special atten
tion should be given to the needs
of the rural church.
He suggested some sort of a mini
mum salary arrangement to be paid
from a pooling of money for pas
toral support.
He said that rural churches had
little representation at past confer
ences, although they served an area
containing 43 per cent of the church
population.
In the past, he said, "not more
than a couple of delegates at a con
ference could milk a cow."
Painless Baby
Never Cries
Over Hurts
AKRON. O.. April 38 ir' Year
old Beverly Smith never cries about
a fall, a cut or a burn. She never
will cry about them, either, because
they cause her no pain, say Chil
dren's hospital officials.
Doctors are calling little Beverly
the "painless baby."
They say she was born Indifferent
to pain. A pin prick brings a lauiih.
Bumps and bruises never bother her.
Aside from complete Indifference
to pain. Beverly is a normal, active
child. She cries when hungry or
angry, for example. Her 3-year-old
sister, Barbara, is normal.
Mrs. Victor Smith, her 34-year-old
mother says she first noticed
Beverly was immune to pain when
the child bumped her head on the
floor at the age of six months and
did not cry.
"Then one day she laid her Utile
hand on a hot stove." Mrs. Smith
added. "She didn't cry then, culler.
She Just looked at me and laughed.''
Doctors have decided her lack of
feeling to pain is "a stale of indif
ference to injury of congenital or
igin." The doctors said they had
heard of only four or five similar
cases. They said she should never
feel any pain.
