Tragic Series in America
(Rec. 10 a.m.) NEW YORK, January 26. Eleven men were killed and one injured when a four-motored bomber crashed near Columbus, Ohio. Ten were killed in another crash near Ord way, Colorado. A heavy bomber crashed in mountainous country in New Mexico, probably killing the entire crew of nine. A fourth crash in Columbia, South Carolina, killed six people.

The Gestapo cellars contained inscriptions, often written in the blood of Russians about to die after torture. Typical were these: "During the occupation X)f Stavropol 15,000 to 20,000 persons were annihilated. Avenge." Another nail-scratched inscription read, "Peter Boganoff, shot on January 18. Tell his wife and children."
