Germans Looted Academy of
Science, Then Wrecked
It, Official Says.
NEW YORK. ? Organized looting
on an intensive scale by Nazi van
dals of scientific institutions, art mu
seums, medical colleges and other
centers of culture throughout occu
pied Russia preluded the destruction
of the buildings themselves.
Prof. Peter Pogrebuyac, secre
tary of the Ukrainian Academy of
Sciences, gives in a Russian infor
mation bulletin some details of what
happened there. He writes:
From the Institute of Geology, the
Germans removed the skeleton of
a mammoth elephant, the only com
plete skeleton of this particular
species in the world (skeletons of
this species are ordinarily assem
bled from the bones of several ani
mals).
They also carried off the skeleton
of a cave bear, the only copy of a
stratigraphlc map of pre-Cambrian
Ukraine, and pictorial representa
tions of geological scenes drawn by
such great Ukrainian painters as
Izhakevich, etc.
They stole paleontological collec
tions which cannot be duplicated,
and materials on vertebrates gath
ered over a period of dozens of
years. They took away the largest
meteorites, and collections of
Ukrainian topazes and precious
stones, as well as the institute's
library of 120,000 volumes.
Took 105,650 Plants.
From the Institute of Botany the
Germans carried off herbariums
containing 109,050 plants represent
ing the flora of the southwest
USSR, which were collected by Rus
sian and Ukrainian botanists over a
period of more than 100 years.
All the academy's institutes of
technics were plundered, as well as
the Institutes of Zoology and Arche
ology, and the Shevchenko Institute
of Literature.
Millions of books were carried
away from the central library of the
Academy of Sciences, among them
many priceless volumes.
The plundering of the academy's
property was in the main the work
of experienced thieves.
Moreover, we know the names of
the vandals. They include Professor
Sommer, zoo technician; Professor
Walther, geobotanist, and the leiters
and sonderfuehrers of the German
administration. Professors Manns
feld and Benzing were particularly
active as robbers of academy prop
erty.
Loot Found in Reich.
On January 24 of this year, Com
mander Pushkarevich found prop
erty belonging to the academy in
the village of Neudorf, five kilo
meters from the city of Nazdra, and
in Poznan, including the seed
herbarium and laboratory equip
ment. Pushkarevich also informed
the academy that their property had
been discovered in the city of Milo
slavov, 10 kilometers from Neudorf.
Georgi Karpenko, secretary of the
technical sciences section, recently
made a trip to Pomerania. In a
landlord's house in the village of
Grabow near the city of Steinberg
he found over 40,000 volumes on
geography and ethnology belonging
to the Academy of Sciences. On the
same day, he discovered a consid
erable number of books bearing the
stamp of Kiev university and the
Odessa and Kharkov libraries.
Maj. Mikhail Strokov discovered

Philanthropist Provides
For Free Rides on Bus
NEW ORLEANS. - It was 5 a. m.
and the passengers in the bus were
very sleepy, but enough awake to
realise that the driver had told
them "Keep your money; this ride

As the bus got under way, the op

boarded the bus, presented him
with a dollar and given instructions
that the next 14 persons were to ride

Makes Pin-Ups for
Her Soldier Hubby
With Aid of Photographer,
She Turns Out Supply.
CLEVELAND. ? The "little wom
an" saw to it in this case that her
husband didn't spend his tree mo
ments in France gazing at the lus
cious curves of movie stars.
Cpl. Nick Schowinsky's 23-year-old
wite is clever. She made sure that
her husband had plenty of pin-ups
?and good ones at that?but not of
movie sirens.
The thought of Nick admiring the
picture of some movie queen, of his ,
posting it in his barracks or carry- (
ing it in his wallet, disturbed Irma
Schowinsky. Then she got an idea.
If her soldier boy wanted pretty fig
ures and nice gams to look at he
should have them.
Irma engaged a photographer to
come out to her home and fix his
camera lenses on her for a whole
evening. With the accent on glam
our, she posed in scanty, revealing
costumes. Her legs, which inci
dentally, are of the Grable variety, 1
played a prominent part in the pho
tographs.
The self-acclaimed pin-up added a
personal touch by inscribing a spe
cial greeting on each of the six pic
tures she sent France-ward. Such
phrases as "To my cup cake,"
"Your loving wife," "Your straw
berry jam" ? Nick loves straw
berry jam?and "Your brown-eyed
Dickens" adorned the photos. a
What did the soldier think of the
idea? He summed it up in one word,
"terrific!" He couldn't help but like

ning gown and the one in the bath- \
ing suit. But, two to one, Nick espe

When asked about the other sol- Y

atomic bomb on the enemy Was set 0
"well over a year ago."

ference the goal was set in order to e
lay out a schedule for completing t<
the huge project. n
For a while, he indicated, Ameri- j
can and British scientists thought
they were racing against time with P
the Germans who had been known
to have started work on an atomic cl
bomb of their own. 81
"One of our major worries over c
in Europe was that some secret *
weapon was being developed by the 1*
Germans comparable to this," said C1
General Spaatz, commander of a

"We were vitally concerned. All of h
the stories were that they were

Envisions Labor's Plans
Outmoded by Atom Bomb *
LONDON. - With the advent of
the atomic bomb, the British Labor Y
party's scheme for nationalizing in- j~
dustry is out of date, John Lang- J?
don Davies, science correspondent of
the London Daily Mail, said recently. .
"The Labor government need not
waste time nationalizing the coal in

dustries," he asserted, "since these _i
are from now on obsolete, or at least E.
of such altered value that nobody h

^">AROL NORTH asks me an
age-old question. There is
only one reply.
The question comes to me in
letter that explains that she is
5, has been married for ten
ears to a man two years young
r. They have three children; a
oy of eight, twin girls of five,
ley own their home, have a
ne group of friends, club and
icial interests, and an income
lat for some reason ? Carol's
itelligence, I imagine?is ade
uate. She writes me that until
bout a year ago her life was
ne of cloudless happiness.
"I don't mean we didn't have
'orries and responsibilities,"
he says, "of course we did. But
'e shared them, and loving
erry as I did that sharing made
verything sweet. I was so proud
> be his wife, to spend his
loney wisely, to raise his chil
ren. I would not have changed
laces with anyone in the world.
"Last June I began to notice a
hange in Jerry. It was a very
iibtle change, but it didn't es
ape eyes as loving as mine. He
'as not quite at ease, he was more
iving and thoughtful than ever, but
uriously abstracted. It made me
nxious, but he assured me that he
'as not worried about business or
ealth, and I tried to quiet my fears.
Office Love Affair.
"Then I had an anonymous let
sr, very specific and detailed. Jerry
'as having an affair with one of the
fcretaries in his office, a grass
idow 26 years old. She has a boy
ne year old, who lives with the- fa
ler, so that while I don't know what
IC awcaouss lUi net U1VU1WC was, 11
>ems probable she was at fault.
"I showed Jerry the letter, and
e denied the whole thing. He said
lat only casual office civilities
ad passed between him and Arlene.
ut a very little investigation proved
) me that this was an untruth, and
resently he confessed the whole
ling. He seemed overwhelmed with
tame, and promised to drop Arlene
t once.
"This was at Christmas time, and
watched to see the affair end. He
id try to end it, becoming very
-ritable with the children and me
t the time when he was not see
ig her, and suddenly sweet and
msiderate when he broke through
Is resolution and took up with her
gain. The wretchedness of these
nctuations t won't try to describe;
>me wives never will know them,
te others hate to be reminded of
tem. Finally he asked me for a
Ivorce, so that he could marry Ar
ne, but through storms and cold
sss I stuck to my determination
lat my children should keep their
ither.
"Finally he came to me in what
lemed to be true repentance; Ar
ne went away, and we were com
letely reconciled. The joy of being
i each other's confidence again
saled my heart of the humiliation
]d pain I had suffered so long. We
id always kept an unbroken front
store the children, and they knew
> thing of all this; there seemed
i be no reason why we should not
?rget the whole thing.
"But torturing doubts have made
! me miserable ever since. I find I
don't wholly believe Jerry, I don't
really trust him. When he gives
me some excuse for being away in
an evening, or on a Saturday after
uuuii, i susptrui rum 01 sxariing an
other affair. If some girl in the of
fice speaks of him I wonder if it is
with that girl. I have seriously
thought of trying to get work with
the same company, but the impos
sibility of getting domestic help
makes that impracticable now. So
I am writing to you, to ask you if
you think I should trust Jerry, and
if I am wrong in my attitude?"
He Will Do It Again.
My answer is, unfortunately, that
I think a man who does this once
will do it again. His vanity has
been flattered by the sweet poison
of Arlene's surrender; his sensations
have been far too delightful to be
easily forgotten. It may be months,
it may be years, but he will fail you
again.
But that doesn't mean you are
wise in distrusting him, spying on
him, suspecting him. You are ex
tremely foolish to put your whole
happiness in a weak, attractive
husband's hands. Live for other
things, your lovely children, your
friends and studies and interests and
amusements?in a word, live for
yourself. Take from him whatever
friendship, companionship, planning,
help you can get?resign yourself to
the fact that your idol has feet of
clay?is selfish, weak, blind some
times. The cruelest revenge you
could wreak on such a man is to give
him his divorce, and let him find out
for himself in just what a fool's para
dise he is living. But for the chil
dren's sake don't do that; just ride
out the storm, and realize that no
woman can have everything.
Africa Gave Us Gladiolus
The gladiolus is a native of South
Africa, where quite a number of spe
cies 'are found grosring wild: Some
are fragrant, and they vary con
siderably in size and shape and data
of blooming. Yet all of them would
look very poor indeed in contrast
to even the poorest of our garden
varieties, for a great deal has been
accomplished by hybridizers in giv
ing fine color and larger flowers.
For this reason none of the wild
species are cultivated in our north
am gardens.
TRUST DESTROYED
Can a wife ever resume the old
relationship of complete trust
when her husband has admitted
his unfaithfulness, and has asked
for a divorce so that he can mar
ry another woman? Is a reconcil
iation after such an episode real
ly possible? Miss N orris deals
with these questions in today's
article.
After nine years of happy mar
ried life Carol North, 36, became
aware of a changed attitude in
her husband, Jerry. He seemed
abstracted, and although he tried
to appear as kind and affection
ate as ever to Carol and the three
children, there was obviously
something on his mind. It wasn't
business worry, or ill-health.
Carol wondered, until she re
ceived an anonymous letter from
someone in Jerry's office. It told
how he was having an affair with
a pretty divorcee, 26 years old.
Carol believes that she shotdd
try to keep their home together
for the sake of the children. She
and Jerry talked things over, and
he decided to end the affair. He
seemed truly repentant, Carol
says, and they hoped to forget
the ugly matter. Carol however,
is tortured with doubts and fears.
She can never really trust Jerry
again.
