Joyce Hangs For Treason
William Joyce alias Lord Haw Haw, 40, American-born radio propagandist for Nazi Germany, was hanged at Wandsworth Prison on treason charges. He walked to the gallows, officials said, with arms pinioned, as news of his execution was posted outside the gates. He had led a life from fascist street fights to Nazi broadcasts and was captured after Germany’s collapse. His appeals failed, and a reprieve was denied by Home Secretary Ede. A related report notes FCC chief Porter predicting faster news flow due to lower press telegraph rates between the U S and Britain.

Manitoba to test Sunday shooting ban in courts
Winnipeg January 3. Attorney General James McLenaghen announced that a section of the Manitoba game act prohibiting Sunday shooting will be tested in court.

Service Buildings To Ease Alberta Housing
Alberta officials report a promise from Wartime Prices Board chairman Donald Gordon to repurpose vacated service buildings for housing. Strong representations were made at the Ottawa conference to grant emergency action for winter housing needs. Inspectments of RC AF camps aimed to unlock materials for hundreds of homes, with dismantling seen as a path to supply. Equipment delays and border restrictions hindered land clearing and camp access for veterans in Peace River. Irrigation plans face financial obstacles, while investigations pursue new Alberta industries including slag wool plastics and plywood.

S S Commandos Told To Kill Every Jew In Russia
Former Gestapo aide Otto Ohlen dorf testified at the Nuremberg trial that special einsatzgruppen units were attached to the German army on the eastern front with orders to execute Jews and Soviet political commissars. He said his unit alone killed about 90 000 in the first year, with gas vans later introduced for women and children. He noted army complicity appeared likely, though figures from other groups seemed exaggerated. Personal property of victims was seized and routed to Reich Ministry and Gestapo.
