Knights Templar Honor Past Head Of Commandery Continued from Page One) low another Hitler, because of the scarcity of ample food and clothing under the present con ditions. German agriculture iis' woefully antiquated. Milk Cows pull the plows, some of which have wood lathes and grain is cut meicial fertilizer is' available with a hand sickle. The farms average about 12 acres. After the grain is cut the old people and children come of the city and glean for a few scattered heads of grain that has been dropped. The soil is won and depleted and no commercial fertilizer is avail able. Ces' pools are cleaned and taken out to the farms in an ef fort to strengthen and rebuild the fields. Although cities were bombed constantly, the farmers were not hurt too badly by the war. Judge Carter pointed out, and still have some produce to sell. The dif ficulty is that they prefer to s'ell in on the blaik market. Soap is scarce, and cigarettes are the medium of exchange. A carton of cigarettes is worth $90. The ratio being 10 marks to the American dollar. For several hours work a German electrician charged Judge Carter four ciga rettes. The children s'pend their time going about the streets scavenging for cigarette butts. The plight of the German in dustrialist was shown by the case of the sVystal manufacturer who paid 106 ppercent of what he earned in taxes. 90 percent of his production according to the American Military regulations had to be turned in for export, and he could onyl maintain normal production because the raw materials came from the Russian zone and very small quantities were released. His' em ployees could make more money by picking wild berries in the woods and selling them on the black market than they could working in his factory. Transportation is severely crippled and gas'oline is GOc a gallon. Switzerland was the only country where there wa s no black market in money.

Nebraska football fans will face a shock in the announcement that Jack Pesek, Ravenna, Nebraska, star on the University of Nebras ka football squad for the past two sensons, will not be with the Nebraska squad this season. Jack, who ranked as the fourth picatest punter in the United States in the last season in foot ball, is terminating his connec tion with the team and is going to Los Angeles where he will be for some time. He may later re turn to school but is definitely out in college football. He may ulay with the Rams at Los Ange les but is not fully decided. Mr. Pesek was in Plattsmouth Friday to visit with Jerry Adam, former Nebraska wrestling coach, at the home of Mrs. Joe Adam, mother of Jerry, for a few hours, returning later to Omaha.

The Germans have a semi-caste system. Judge Carter told his audience, and the felling seems to prevail that what ever a mans station in life may be he cannot hope to rise above it. The Ger mans fee lthat they are the center of culture in Europe, and of the world, but are really very de cadent. They have not fudamen tal conception of Democracy as we know it. They cannot conceive of electing officials. The Ameri can Military government must recognize these fundamental facts, he said, and not try to up root the entire s'ystem, but re solve to build upon what actually exists. Only the fear that the Russians would be worse, makes the Germans content to accept American leadership. The War Crimes" trials were held by six tribunals, one for each zone, and there were three Judges in each tribunal. The tri bunal of which Judge Carter was a member, tried Generals and Field Marshals charged with is suing orders and executing or ders' resulting in mass murders, establishing concentration camps, shooting allied commandos and military missions even though they were in uniform. The ex cellent work of the interpreters during the trials was' praised. Wire recordings of the trials were made and checked against the court record to insure ac curacy. Prosecution was handled by young American lawyers and the criminals were permitted to select German lawyers' of their own choice. Judge Carter took exception to the statement that has been made by some people that the trials were unfair. He declared that if we considered ourselves civilized we cannot stand by and watch innocent people decimated , as hostages and killed at a ratio of 100 for every German killed, especially when theso hostages killed are living in an area re mote from the scene of the actual disturbance. We must sec that these ruthless murderers arc brought to justice, and work for an International Common law to restrict this and protect the common peoples of the earth from these injustices. He is of the opinion that we must do our part to establish International law to help guarantee that in nocent people in the world shall have their share of freedom and protection.
