view with the camp commander and! without giving his name disclosed his] identity by removing the black eye) shield.Duncan, quoting a senior intelligence officer of Lt.-Gen.Miles C.Dempsey\u2019s staff, said Himmler\u2019s identity was confirmed by the chief of counter-intelligence at the camp and later beyond all question by Dempsey\u2019s counter-intelligence officers.In order to prevent attempts at suicide, Himmler was immediately stripped despite a vehement protest.He was given three choices, to remain stripped, to wear British bat-tledress or to wrap himself in blankets.He chose the blankets, and it (was in them that he later died.I After the interview, the blanket-wrapped Himmler was taken by auto from the camp to Luenberg, where a house was set aside for his confinement.Duncan said it was arranged for medical officers to examine Himmler further last night, the fourth search since the Gestapo head man was arrested.The last examination was very thorough, Duncan reported.Himmler\u2019s feet, hands, legs and back of his ears were closely examined.The medical officer then asked Himmler to open his mouth and roll his tongue around.The response was old police garage at 18 Surrey Place just off Queen\u2019s Park.The telephone number, supposed to be secret, was Randolph 5718.m'AU'A BIRTHS LAMEY.\u2014 At the Sherbrooke Hospital on May 22nd, 19'45, to Mr.and Mrs.L.W.Lamey, (nee Carol Hilliard), a son, Robert Stuart.DEATHS of their mother, Mns.T.Hcxtall.Mr.George Knowltcn, of Outre-mont, was at home with his parents, Mr.and Mrs.Walter Knowltcn, for a few day© owing to ill health.Mr.F.Flood, of Montreal, spent a week-end here with Mrs, Flood and son.Mrs.A.M.Hunter has improved her store by laying a new floor.Ernest Bresette of South Stukely: Fred Marsh and Wc.-ley Leavitt of the Brill; have been doing the work.Mr.and Mrs.Maurice Williams and Mr.Baxter WiMiam-s attended the \u201cMother's Day\" service in St.Paul\u2019s United Church, Waterloo, and were dinner guests of Mns.J.J.Ir- COAT1COOK D.Hast-.the famous Cole Lewis Screnaders, rings and family and Miss May Hex- win and L.A.C.Douglas Irwin, fol outstanding dance band.\tI tall, in Sutton, following the death lowing the service.ALLEY OOP Full Blast OSCAR/.'
