! ALASKA AIRLINES
REDUCE RATES
A ten per cent discount on all
round-trip tickets over all routes
operated by Alaska Airlines was
announced today by Ben. B. Ed
wards, general traffic manager.
This reduction in round-trip fares
j will effect a saving to more than
one hundred cities and communi
ties served by Alaska Airlines.
Prior to this time, a ten per cent
discount applied only on routes
operated by Douglas DC-3’s.
A reduction in fares, even though
operating costs have increased, is
made possible by a steady increase
in both passenger and freight
business.
Alaska Airlines continues to in
crease the frequency of schedules
and decrease fares within Alaska
as a measure to assist in the de
| velopment of commercial avia
tion.

auditorium.

Hotel Fire Claims
Many Lives
ATLANTA, The Winecoff
hotel fire death toll climbed to 120
today a multiple investigations
were ordered into Saturday’s dis
aster which was the nation’s most
costly hotel conflgration.
Three names were added to the
death list. Mrs. George D. Burch,
20, of Chattanooga, died of injur
ies suffered when she fell, 10
floors to a canvas canopy when an
improvised rope of bed linen
broke.
P lrp Chief C. C. btryon said
most of the deaths resulted from
asphyxiation because smoke and
fumes had no way to escape from
the building.
Styron said carbon dioxide gas
pressure in the corridors and
rooms prevented to some extent
the spread of flames but took a
terrific toll of life by smothering
guests in their rooms.
The fire chief said safety vents
in the elevator shaft, the stair
case and from the halls would
have allowed the gas to escape.
However, he added, the open pas
sageways would have to be fire
proof to prevent the spread of
flames.
NEW YORK, (P)—The interna
tional executive board of the
united automobile workers (CIO)
convened here today to draw up
, wage increase demands for its
850,000 members.

German “Human
Experimenters”
Called Murderers
NUERNBERG, (/P)—Brig. Gen.
Tilford Taylor demanded today
that 22 men and a woman charged
with conducting Nazi medical ex
periments on live victirr\s be con
demned as murderers who poison
ed the entire German medical pro
fession under Adolf Hitler.
Gen. Taylor opened the trial of
high-ranking Nazi doctors in tie
same court where Hermann Geo: -
ing, Joachim von Ribbentrop and
other Nazi ringleaders were sen
tenced to death last October. All
pleaded innocent.
In sharp, bitter tones, the Amer
ican prosecutor outlined his case
to an all-American court and as
serted: “The Third Reich died of
its own poison.” The defendants
he said, contributed to that poison
ing.
“The victims of their crimes a^e
numbered in hundreds of thou
i sands,” Taylor told the court. “A
handful only are still alive: few of
the survivors will appear in this
court room.”
The general declared the grouD
operated directly under He:nrich
Himmler and the armed forces—
and subjected Poles. Rnss'ans and
Jews to fatal experiments under
high altitude conditions, to sub
zero freezing, to poison :njections,
and to enforced drinking of sea
water.
He declared the hearing was not
merely a murder trial; that its real
purpose was to show the German
people the experiments he out
lined were “fact and not fable.”
