German Civilian
Offenders To Be
Tried Soon
PARIS, May 28—<£>)—'Trials of
Germans accused of offenses
against American troops and vio
lation of the laws of war probably
will begin within a few weeks,
Justice Jackson, chief United
States Counsel for war crimes told
a press conference.
However proceedings against
the Nazi war criminals probably
will not get under way for some
time, since United States, Britain,
Russia and France have not yet
agreed on certain details of the in
ternational military tribunal
which will try the accused.

officials still are undecided whe
ther to hold a funeral of the Ges
tapo Chief Himmler in the pres
ence of German military and civil
ian big wigs who are in Allied
hands. Thirty-six hours after the
suicide death by poison of Him

be placed in a coffin today.
It is generally suspected that
the former Nazi foreign minister
Von Ribbentrop, the only high

Nazi not yet captured or reported
dead ,is somewhere in the British
sector in northwest Germany.
Himmler killed himself Wed
nesday night by crushing a tiny
glass vial of poison between him
teeth as British medical officers
were examining him. He was
wearing only a pair of socks, his
clothing having been stripped
from him previous to examination.

When you're a week-end guest
you notice a lot of little things that
make your visit a memorable and
pleasant one. It's those little "ex
tra touches'* that make you re
member your hostess as charming
and gracious.
I’m sure you’ll find, as 1 did, that
for providing that "extra touch"
perfumed sachets in the new tuck,
away packages are wonderful in
their appealing fragrance. By the
use of one of the lovely floral frag
rances, in the drawers of the dress
ing table, among the linens and
guest towels, the guest room will
present a delightful "perfume en
semble."
Among your own personal
things, too. tuck aways, delicately
perfumed to suit your taste and
personality, add a distinctive touch
of femininity so essential to gra
cious living.
My hostess showed me the color
fully decorated little packets with
gay flowers matching the fra
grances of the sachet—rose, carna
tion, gardenia, and lilac. They're
so attractive that she used the tuck
aways as place cards at the
luncheon, choosing fragrances that
blended perfectly with the center
{>iece of flowers. It was such a
ovely .effect that the guests are
still talking about it.
When tuck aways are slipped in
to gifts, even an inexpensive one
carries an expensive air. And
imagine my very pleasant surprise
when I discovered my hostess had
tucked away several of these dain
ty sachets in my luggage!
I am told they are available at
drug, department and syndicate
stores and gift shops. I know I
am going to look for some at the
first opportunity.

Japan’s Home Islands—Kyushu
Kyushu, southernmost of Japan’s home islands, is the home of
over 8,000,000 people. It is connected to the Honshu, main island by

food and manufacturing materials.
Productive in rice, tobacco and
copper, Kyushu also is a rich
source of iron and coal. Huge in
dustrial factories here have car
ried much of the burden of equip
ping Japan for war. The moun
tains of the islands, are many,
some of tjjem volcanic, providing
hot spring spas. The waters sur
rounding Kyushu teem with many
types of fish and offer an impor
tant source of food.
Like Honshu, Kyushu’s coast
opens to many prime harbors and
bays. From the important seaport
of Nagasaki, already the target of
U. S. bombers, it is only 452 miles
to Shanghai across the Sea of
Japan. Other important cities are
Kagoshima, on the East China Sea,
Sasebo and Kumamoto.
Adjacent to Kyushu are 213
smaller islands. On Kyushu are
many capacious inlets with the
possibility of excellent anchorage.
