Unclosed Case. At Giles' trial, witnesses told how B. R. Sheffield, a professional promoter and former business associate of Giles, had bought Rosenow Ranch, a scraggly, 10,114-acre tract in Kinney County, Texas for $162,500, sold it to the state a year later for $353,000. Giles admitted he had raised the state appraiser's valuation of the land $5 an acre. L. V. Ruffin, a Brady real-estate dealer, testified that he had traveled in Sheffield's Cadillac to California, Mexico, Chicago and New Orleans to get signatures of eligible veterans who had moved...
...tiny office at the end of the dark corridor, they are greeted by Helmuth Rosenow-a tall, thin man in his late 303. In Nazi days he was a courier in the Socialist underground, traveling regularly between Prague and Berlin...
...Since Rosenow set up his barren shop (his office lacks even a telephone) Jan. 1, the refugees have come at an average of 150 a day.

Others must remain in Berlin, return to their homes, or continue their perilous journey afoot through the Russian zone to the West. Rosenow explained: "Panic alone is not enough. We have that everywhere. We can hope to help only those who must flee to live-and perhaps...
Year after year Dr. Rosenow has published painstaking research papers showing how he: 1) invariably finds a certain kind of streptococci in brains and spinal fluid of animal and human poliomyelitis victims; 2) finds the same germs in milk, water and the throats of about 33% of well people during polio epidemics; 3) finds very few of the germs between epidemics; 4) makes a streptococcus serum that protects animals from poliomyelitis...
Last fortnight 69-year-old Dr. Rosenow got in two good licks: he reviewed the whole subject in the Lancet and in the International Bulletin, which broke a precedent by devoting a whole issue to his article. He reiterated his big discovery (1942) that he can make streptococcus change into a virus, and vice versa. His photographs of slides show the streptococcus in graduated sizes, some so small that the next size is presumably invisible. He says his converted virus causes poliomyelitis (and sometimes encephalitis). If verified, these findings will be big news, since Dr. Rosenow's streptococcus lends...
