In Arctic Regions
WA S H I N G T O N, i/P) — The
United States and Canada are es
tablishing three navigation aid
stations on the Arctic rim of North
America to expedite air travel.
The army air forces, disclosing
the joint ‘‘project beetle,” said the
stations are expected to be in op
eration in October. They will be
equipped with long range naviga
tion facilities, called “Loran.”
The key station is being set
up at Campbell Lake in northwest
Canada. Smaller stations are lo
cated at Point Barrow, and on the
south coast of Victoria island, off
the north coast of Canada.
In announcing the project Fri
day, the air forces said planes car
rying up to 1,400 tons of equip
ment made more than 200 round
trips to the frozen northland.
line mapping has not been done
there since the middle of the 19th
century and its interior has never
been seen except possibly by Es
kimos.
The magnetic pole has tentative

Women Protest

Lengthening Of
Skirt Line i
' '
DALLAS, Tex. (/P) — At least
1,300 Texas women are so proud
of their legs that they’re ready to
rebel against the long skirt fad.
They are members of the Little |
Below the Knee Club.
The crusading president of the
LBK's is Mrs. Warren J. Wood
ward. a Dallas housewife, who ar
gues:
“Why should a girl cover up her
legs—they may be her best selling
point.’
Mrs. Wooward, who organized
the club three weeks ago, is 24
and attractive.
Her temper began to rise when
the length of the skirts began to
fall.
So. she organized the club. She
found there were a lot of women
who felt the same way: “Hold that
hem line.”
“I didn’t feel like throwing
away my entire wardrobe,” said
Mrs. Woodard, “and there were a
lot of other women who felt the
same way.”
Next Saturday, they’re going to
march along Dallas streets in
dresses of little-below-the-knee
length.
Mrs. Woodard said that the
members were thinking of order
ing a lapel emblem—showing a
pair of crossed legs with a skirt
a little below the knees.

REASON FOR BAD TEMPER
STOCKHOLM, (A3) — Swedish
historians and medical experts
who opened the coffin of Sweden’s
great King Gustav' Vasa after 387
years believe they have found out
why he had such a bad temper.
They found a large cavity in his
cheek bone due to an abscessed
tooth which bothered him for an
estimated ten years. They also dis
covered he had small hands and
big feet, one leg was shorter than
the other.
Gustav Vasa, who was regarded
as the “builder” of modern Swe
den. died in 1560.
After scientific studies of his
skeleton had been made, his re
mains were exposed publicly for a
day in Uppsala’s Cathedral.

Krupps To Stand
Trial As War j -I
Criminals
NUERNBERG, (A5)—Twelve di
rectors of the $2,500,000,000 Krupp
munitions combine, which for 133
years has been supplying Ger
many with guns, were indicted by
United States authorities today for
war crimes.
They are scheduled *o go on
trial nexf month.
In a 50-page bill presented t >
an all-American cou.rt, prosect -
tors charged the giant steel ar.d
armament firm with waging ag
gressive war, plundering peaceful
countries and exploiting slava la
bor.
Principal defendant under .the
indictment was Alfred Krupp von
Bohlen und Halbah, son of Bertha
Krupp, after whom the giant can
non “Big Bertha,” which shelled
Paris during World War I, was
named.
Brig. Gen. Telford Taylor, chief
American prosecutor, said the U.
S. would prove that Alfred Krupp
and his associates were Nazi party
members, confidants of the gesta
po, supporters of Adolf Hitler, in
stigators of rearmament and vio
lators of the Versailles treaty.
Taylor accused Alfred Krupp of
carrying on the policies of his
father, Gustav, who is now senile
and unable to stand trial.
The indictment charged that
Krupp donated more than $4,000,
000 to Nazi coffers. Taylor said
evidence would be presented
showing an intimate relationship
between Krupp and the principal
Nazi leaders, including Fritz Sauc
kel, the Nazi labor boss who was
hanged at Nuernberg.
The indictment accused Krupp
of spreading Nazi propaganda
abroad with personal, letters and
pamphlets outlining the Nazi
viewpoint for foreign industry’s
perusal.
Taylor charged that Krupp par
ticipated in invasions and in
crimes committed against hun
dreds of thousands of slave labor
ers, and plundered Austria, the
Netherlands, Greece, Russia and
Yugoslavia.
