I EXHIBIT POINTS FINGER AT STALIN |! r* p T*r , 'T'™ — ||-1 RS JBB 1 1 Sponsored by the Edenton Police Department, an exhibit titled “The Pay Off,” depicting the fate of our late enemies, Hitler, Mus solini and Tojo, will be shown on the Belk-Tyler lot on Broad Street Wednesday and Thursday of next week. . This exhibit shows, through the medium of third dimensional scenes, Hitler just before he fired the fatal shot ending his mad career; Mussolini pleading vainly for his life before a squad of Italian partisans, and Tojo nervously awaiting his hanging in Sug ama prison. The exhibit dramatically points out that Tojo was the first top flight war maker ever to be brought to trial before a court of law for his crimes and executed. It also emphasizes the fact that Stalin, through Russia’s participation in the Nuremburg war crimes trials becomes an international criminal himself in the eyes of world jus tice. _ Excerpts from the speeches of Stalin and other Communists at the time of the Nuremburg trials show that Stalin helped to set up laws against aggression—the laws he now ignores so frequently. Among the highlights shown in the big traveling exhibit are a» set of Hitler’s silverware, beautifully engraved and like most other Hitler treasures bearing “Der Fuhrer’s” monogram; an ornate key formerly carried bv Mussolini, and a Japanese Samurai sword made before Columbus discovered America.
