...vanquished on trial. In over 50 million words of testimony, the Niirnberg mill ground out the story of six million Jews murdered, millions of laborers held in near-slavery. So huge were the figures that the world could scarcely grasp them. Though Hermann Göring postured in the dock and Rudolf Hess bellowed his insane laughter, interest in the courtroom scene flagged. But last week, crowds once more flocked to the big red-roofed Palace of Justice. The 13th and last of the Nurnberg trials was drawing...
Shipping. The U.S. Maritime Commission gave the Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co. the go-ahead to build the biggest liner ever constructed in a U.S. shipyard, a 48,000-tonner to cost $70,373,000 (TIME, Aug. 2).

They have prospered so well and without challenge that they have been forced to kill only about 20 men in ten years in & around the docks. Now & then one of the hoodlums went to the chair for it, but business was fine otherwise. According to the best estimates, they stole and still steal $50 million a year in cargoes, mostly in broad daylight (shipping men politely called it pilferage). They pad stevedoring payrolls. They shake down...
