...Fuhrer's train was brought to an emergency stop nearly two kilometers from the collision. Alighting with Economic Dictator Dr. Hjalmar Schacht and Defense Minister General Werner von Blomberg, Herr Hitler strode back through the fog. At the fatal crossing he found 13 corpses. Seven other actors were groaning in pain. Above the dead Realmleader Hitler made his supreme gesture, the Nazi salute. Then, strong-nerved, he plunged into the work of collecting bits of mangled bodies and arranging them under sheets. This took an hour. The seven injured were taken away to hospitals, one dying en route. A fresh...

Now 72, slight, wiry and a Democrat, Judge Grubb runs his courtroom smartly, shames attorneys who waste his time. Born & bred in Cincinnati, he went to Yale with a brother of President Taft. His opinion last week was handed down in denying a TVA motion to dismiss an injunction petition filed by a group of Alabama Power...
