Remnants of Sunken Sub Near Denmark Starts Speculation on Possible Fate of High Nazis COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — A dynamite blast which raised remnants of a sunken German submarine brought Danish speculation today that leading nazis—perhaps even Hitler—tried to flee the falling Reich in a U-boat. The sub was one of three bombed by the RAF on May 4, 1945. At least two were found sunk near the Danish coast. The fate of the third is unknown. The dynamite charge, set off during salvage operations, broke a torpedo tube and raised huge amounts of rotting food. No corpses or skeletons have been found so far, although the blast raised a few pieces of bone. Investigation showed the U-boat was crammed with food, even in the torpedo tubes, and carried no munitions. No papers were found to identify the occupants or to prove the deduction the U-boat might have contained high nazis escaping the doomed Reich. Some Danes wondered whether Hitler might have been one, although Allied investigation has indicated he probably died in a Berlin bunker as the Germans said he did. Most of the highest nazis were caught and tried but the fate of at least one—Hitler's last deputy, Martin Bormann—has never been established. The mystery of "Submarine X," as it is now called in the Danish press, probably will never be solved. Divers are blasting the ship into bits to salvage steel, lead, and other metals. Corpses of those aboard have been carried away by the water, and only a few skulls have been left. So far no sheet of paper with any clue has been found. Port and salvage officials agree, however, that the submarine definitely was not bound on any war mission when it was sunk in 12 fathoms of water in Lillebaelt, a polar scientist describes bitter survival battle. FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) — A scientist who spent nearly two weeks near the North Pole described here yesterday the terrible struggle waged against hurricane-force winds and bitter cold that froze kerosene solid. The Norwegian-born scientist, Dr. Kaare Rodahl, was a member of the original three-man Air Force party that landed on an ice island near the Pole to set up a semi-permanent weather observation station. He said that during the first week of their stay, the island was lashed by hundred mile winds. The temperature was lower than 60 degrees below zero. An Air Force C-47 on March 19 landed the three scientists on the island along with a considerable load of supplies. Then the plane and its three C-54 escort craft returned to a base in Greenland. "When the planes left us," said Dr. Rodahl, "we faced the problem of establishing a safe camp on the ice island as quickly as possible. By studying the old records of Arctic explorers, we had determined that we faced grave danger from Polar gales and extreme cold." Dr. Rodahl said the three men first dug into the snow to determine the nature of the ice on which they were to establish their camp. "When we removed about three feet of snow," he said, "we came to perverse ice and then dirt." When California Physicians Service Charges Chiseling in MD's Fees LOS ANGELES (P)—The first of what California Physicians Service says will be a number of suits against doctors who "chisel" in fee collections has been filed here. It charges that Dr. Wade H. Walker of Long Beach charged for services not actually rendered, in violation of his contract with the health insurance organization. The municipal court action, filed yesterday, asks $332.40 and says the CPS believes an additional $2600 is due. The exact amount is not known, the complaint said, because the doctor has refused access to his books. In an announcement in connection with hundreds are homeless by the overflows from the Missouri river and tributaries. At Pierre, capital city of South Dakota, the Missouri threatened the worst flood in 71 years, with a possible rise to 23 or 24 feet, eight or nine feet above flood stage. Plans were made to evacuate, house and feed residents if the expected flood waters hit the city of 5700 population. The Missouri also was on a rampage in North Dakota and the Red River threatened. In central North Dakota some 1000 persons were forced from their homes by the flooding Missouri. Lowland areas in Bismarck and nearby Mandan, in North Dakota, still were inundated. Many residents were driven from their homes at Linton, 65 miles southeast of Bismarck by overflows from Beaver Creek, a Missouri tributary. The flood situation appeared easing in Sioux Falls, S. D., as the Big Sioux, a Missouri tributary, continued its slow drop. About 1100 persons were driven from their homes over the weekend by floodwaters. The rainy weather today extended from the Dakotas and Montana southwestward over the Rocky mountains to Nevada. There were a few showers in Southern California but skies were fair in other parts of the country. Mild weather was reported from the Lake Superior region southward over the Missouri valley, the lower Mississippi valley and southern plains states. It was on the chilly side from Pennsylvania southward to northern Florida. Readings were around normal levels in other areas. What is believed to have been the first toll road in the United States was built from Alexandria, Va., to Snigger's Gap. We were hampered by temperatures which we estimated as being in the 60s below zero, our colder," Dr. Rodahl said." We had no thermometer, but our kero-sene froze solid when we tried to pour it into a frigid stove. A bottle of whisky the plane crew threw us also froze. That would make it colder than 60 below." On the fourth day of the storm on the island, a sudden gall spring up within a period of 8 minutes. The wind grew in very slowly until it reached a force of 70 miles an hour with gusts up to 100. Dr. Rodahl said. Powder snow whipped up by the wind reduced visibility to zero. Pigeon Baseball Takes Place of Western Union VENTURA (P)—Baseball fans here are promised a birds' fly report by carrier pigeon of Friday's exhibition game in Ontario between the Ventura Braves and the Fresno Cardinals. When it appeared the Western Union strike would cancel Radi Station KNEV's plans for a recreated broadcast of the contest between the two members of the California State League, sports caster Jerry Palmer received an assist from the Ventura Racing doctors no doubt will follow since attorneys for the California Physicians Service have been instructed to 'take any action deemed necessary at any time.'... "Our legal action—harsh though it may be—is our guarantee to the public of our continuing believe in this and other types of voluntary health insurance." The CPS was set up by the CMA as the latter's answer in California to demands for compulsory health insurance or other forms of tax paid medical treatment. The alleged chiseling hit the headlines recently when Dr. Paul Walker of Long Beach charged for services not actually rendered, in violation of his contract with the health insurance organization. The municipal court action, filed yesterday, asks $332.40 and says the CPS believes an additional $2600 is due. The exact amount is not known, the complaint said, because the doctor has refused access to his books. In an announcement in connection with the suit Dr. H. Gordon MacLean of San Francisco, president of the California Medical association, said in a statement: "Other actions against other PROBLEM FOR NEIGHBORS - Paula Hassall must have a way with alligators for she has had these four-foot-long, 50-pound saurians as pets in her Chicago home for 19 years.
