Woman delegate wants Hitler exiled
NEW YORK (UP) – Dean Virginia Gildersleeve of Barnard College, the only woman delegate to the United Nations Conference in San Francisco April 25, favors demilitarization of Germany and exile of Adolf Hitler to a remote island in lieu of his execution because he is mad.
She said in an interview:
I should like to see Hitler taken to a remote island and kept there while he lives – quite quietly. I should prefer that to having him executed, but I consider him a madman, and I do not like the idea of executing a madman. However, I should not feel too dreadfully if some other procedure should be followed.

Japs concerned over Reds’ plans
WASHINGTON (UP) – Jap propagandists speculated uneasily today that Russia may have decided at the recent Big Three conference to join the United States and Great Britain in war against Japan.
A Singapore radio broadcast voiced Tokyo’s growing concern over the situation, linking the Big Three meeting with the fact that the Russo-Jap neutrality pact becomes subject to revocation in the next two months.
The commentator also suggested that President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill may have brought pressure on Marsha! Stalin to attack the Jap Army in Manchuria.
Nazis to use new weapons, Goebbels hints
Germans called on for ruthless fight
LONDON, England – Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels, hinting that Germany will use new and secret ‘Weapons in her last-ditch resistance, told the world today that the Reich will take the “boldest and most daring methods” to defend itself.
Goebbels made his threat in his weekly dispatch in Das Reich, which was summarized by the German radio. It was the first official comment reported for him since the Big Three Crimea conference disclosed Allied plans for a future Germany.
“Our salvation lies in arms,” Goebbels said. “Let us forge them and use them in the last battle which will decide everything. This, today, is our great chance.”
Urges desperate means
Since Tuesday, when a German Foreign Office spokesman asserted that the Big Three conference had freed Germany to conduct a war by all suitable means, German propagandists have been exhorting their people to a ruthless battle.
This was the theme of Goebbels’ dispatch: He said that Germans prefer to use desperate means rather than mortgage the lives of German children, and that unrelenting warfare would keep the Germans from losing the war.
“A nation which is determined to use all means, even the most daring ones, in defense of its life cannot be really defeated,” Goebbels was quoted as saying.
Cites Allied strength
Apparently attempting io reassure the German people that the closeness of the Russians to Berlin was not really too important, Goebbels said that “it is not alone decisive at what spot the fighting occurs at this moment.”
“It is, of course, a fact that the enemy has a bigger war potential at his disposal, and particularly so at this time, but only from a material and not from a moral viewpoint,” Goebbels asserted. He said that the development of the war is “still fluid and will remain so until one of the belligerent powers lays down its arms.”
“We alone have to decide whether we or our enemies will do this.”
Editorial: Not even Dresden escapes
When the Russians started moving on Dresden, we breathed a sigh of relief because here, at last, was a name that the radio announcers would have to pronounce so that American listeners could understand it. But we were too fast. Some of the weisenheimers of the airwaves are struggling to give even Dresden a high-falutin’ pronunciation.
It may be Dresden china to you – but it’s Drai-ess-dain to the ether experts. Probably even “china” wouldn’t sound that way if one of those behind-the-scenes-inside-information lads got hold of it.
