Five other Nazis, who had been convicted several weeks ago, were executed today. They had been SS men, working under the direction of Weinrich Himmler, who, in the last four years of the war, was second in command to Hitler, The court characterized: the de- fendants ,after their conviction, as “monsters of depravity, en- slaving and murdering thousands of civilians, stealing their belong- ings and removing even their gold tecth after they had been killed.” ©.

Motion to allow City Manager Ellingson to determine the time off for employes to vote was unanimously passed.
