I0 ~ (CPt-A German spy was executed this morning at Wandsworth prison, the Home office announced today. - He was identified as Karel Rich- ard Richter, a Sudeten Gezman born Jan. 20, 1912, in Kraslice. The Home Office said he was convicted under the Treachery Act after a secret trial and that his appeal. heard Nov. 24. was dis- missed. An authoritative statement said Richter parachuted to a landing in England near the Hertfordshire village of London Colney on the night of May 13. , He hid in a wood for nearly two days. it said, and “20 minutes after he emerged from his hiding place he was in the hands of the police." This speedy capture, the state- ment added, came about because a lost truck driver on Richterls emergence from the wood shouted at him for directions. A police constable then appeared and the truck driver, in a casual remark, spoke “about an unhelp- ful stranger who was then only a dozen yards away." The policeman immediately foi- lowed Richter, questioned him and, unsatisfied with the answers, took him to the nearest police station. where there was further question- ing arid a search. ' "There was found on him sev- eral hundred pounds of money in British and United States cur- rency," the statement added. "He also had a map of the eastern counties and a D0014" 911111131155- He was wearing a civilian suit. three pairs of woolien pants and two pairs of socks."

Authoritative zeports_ that the Russians have gained air superior- ity over the German air icrce on the eastern front suggest to Britons the possibility that the Germans are withdrawing aircraft for a. re- newal of assaults on Britain while the eastern front is frozen up. Scanning the broad war picture. one observer predicted "pretty heavy air raids," possibly starting 1:1 January as the Germans seek to aid Japan by striking at Bri- tain's armament factories and vit- al ports. In addition to seeking to batter British ports. the Gerrriaxis are likely to intensify the brittle of the Atlantic.

Evacuation Program planned- For vulnerable areas OTTAWA, Dec. i0 — (OP) — Svauld the call come to evacuate women and children from Canada's virlnerable areas to safer parts of Canada. machinery to carry out tli movement can be put in motion in short order, Charlotte Whitton, di- rector oi‘ the Canadian Welfare Council. said today. As yet. she said. in an interview. there is no immediate indlcatlOn that such a step is planned but sug- gestions that an evacuation scheme be launched have been heard in Nova. Scotia. New BFIXXTSWI/ltf and in large cities like I'm-onto. "But," she added, "any large movement of population, particu- larly of women and children. is a problem with wide social aspects. It is more than a matter of trans- portatlon." More than a year ago a large organization was set up to receive British child gilests. That scheme was deferred soon after it began to function because of wartime dangers in the North Atlantic. "The movement of children as far as it. went." Miss Whitton said. "was one of the most successfll placement schemes on record. Be- cause the scheme had to be drop- ped. at least for the time being. thousands of homes which offered to take children never received them. a "Many of these homes could be used in event of’ a Canadian evacua- tion program. "If the call comes from the de- fence authorities. nnd if there is assurance of needed funds and co- operation of provincial welfare or- ganizations. the same setup that ivas being used for the British chil- dren can be mobilized in short or- dcr." Existing social agencies working with the defence aullicriiics could conduct an evacuation program, if one is decided upon. with least ex- Do You Suffer From Headaches ‘t It. is hard to struggle along with a head that. aches and pains all the time.
