Minks are famed for their ravenous appetites, their expensive pelts, their cannibalistic habit of devouring their young when frightened. Last week in Astoria, Ore., William and Emil Urell, operators of a mink farm, appeared before a board of officers from a nearby Coast Guard station, claimed the U. S. Coast Guard owed them $6,750 for damages. Right after the whelping season, they testified, a Coast Guard amphibian plane whizzed over their farm within 150 feet of the ground.

...intersection. The 30-mile East-West axis will run from the Lustgarten, connecting Unter den Linden, Charlottenburger Chaussée, the Heerstrasse. Crossing the East-West axis in the Tiergarten will be the North-South axis, which will run for 24 miles from suburban Wedding, past the old Lehrter station and the Reichstag, to the west of the famed Brandenburg Tor, over the Potsdam Bridge, out toward Schöneberg. The four circular boulevards -whose radii from the Tiergarten intersection will be respectively two, four, six and eight miles-will follow streets largely in existence...
