Historic Post
Dover, Aug. 15.
Church bells rang out a welcome, guns fired a salute and berobed dignitaries of more than a dozen south coast ports and towns took part in a centuries old pageantry here today, when the former Prime Minister, Mr. Winston Chur- chill, was installed as Lord Warden and Ad- miral of the Cinque Ports. The ports-Hastings, Dover, Hythe, Romney, and Sandwick-were of considerable importance in Anglo-Saxon times and William the Con- queror, after the Battle of Hastings in 1066, in order better to wield the power of the five great ports nearest to the French coast, creat- ed from the whole line of coast a jurisdiction, entirely separate from the counties of Kent and Sussex, under its own warden-a sort of county palatinate.
Grim Story At Trial
Nuremburg, Aug. 15. The affidavit of a Jew who had been forced into shove
labour by Hitler's Brown Shirts, and who, while digging up mass graves found the body of his brother, was submitted Crimes Tribunal to the War today to refute testimony that SA had not dealt in the atrocities.
The affidavit. Bigned by Szloma Gol, was introduced by the British prosecutor, Sir David Maxwell Fyfe, during the-
of Max cross-examination
