Cattle Picture Brightens in Southeast Alberta
May rains help dry rangelands as 3500 cattle move into the British Block for summer grazing. Ranchers push for more land though the Defence Department calls the Block experimental and unlikely to expand. A drought inspection team reports soon to Agriculture while pasture figures show 46 sections in the south block and 167 in the north block under PFRA rules.

Eichmann Hanged in Ramleh Prison in Israel
Adolf Eichmann was executed at Ramleh Prison near Tel Aviv for organizing Nazi genocide. He faced the trap door at two minutes before midnight, his body cremated and ashes scattered in the Mediterranean. The sentence followed Israel's 14 years of state history and the court’s ruling on unparalleled crimes against Jews and humanity. Eichmann spoke last words praising God and his countries before death. In Canada, Wheat Board chair McNamara forecasts a 500 million bushel wheat crop with rising exports and adequate coarse grains, noting rain relief in prairie regions and ongoing concerns about late sowing in Red River valley and variable Alberta conditions.
