Few War Prisoners Make Escape
Civilian alertness and local law enforcement aided the recapture of German POWs on the loose. Reports recount two Illinois truckers cornering a disguised escapee and returning him to custody, a Mississippi incident where residents handed a sergeant over to authorities, and other rescues, though some escapees remain at large amid language barriers and limited freedom.

Hopi Snake Clan Faces Doom Over Priest Succession
Hopi Snake Clan at Hotevilla in Arizona may die if no new snake priest is chosen before the Snake Dance. Eligible candidates include three brothers, but one ineligible due to living with white people and another ruled out for the same reason. Elders worry as illness delays the selection, threatening the clan’s unbroken ceremony across villages Shipsauli and Shungopovi.

Crisis follows death before Snake Dance ceremony
An old blind man was named in the crisis surrounding the Snake Dance after Hotevilla died just before the ritual. The event occurred in the final 42 days before the dance, making cancellation impossible as tribal business and important decisions halt during the 1% days of preparation preceding the ritual.

Hopi Territory Unease Over Priest Replacement
A temporary emergency priest will fill in as a permanent successor is awaited. In Hopi lands, secrecy surrounds the appointment and white observers may learn of any new priest only when widely spread word reaches them. Hopis regard their rituals as their own and resist white interference.
