Mrs. Frances Bohnke, chaplain. January is the month for members to study the legislative and national security program, expressing the’ organization’s stand on bills, part one being “how a thought becomes a bill” and part two, "bow a bill becomes a law.” Interesting reports of the Christmas party and veterans gift shop held December 7 at the Fort Wayne administration hospital were given bv Zelma Roop and Waneta Walchle, who represented the local unit. Committee reports on membership and merits were given by Margaret Eiting. Mrs. Frances Bohnke reported that flowers, sympathy ords, and get well cards were sent to the sick and bereaved.

Mrs. Frances Uleman, deceased member. Presiding officer, Waneta Walchle, delivered a short eulogy in tribute to the departed member. The charter was draped and the chaplain concluded the service with these words: “Under its authority, years of service were given by Frances Uleman. She contributed much to its significance. Her service is ended but the results of her efforts will go on and on for our American Legion auxiliary and for God and country which the auxiliary serves. It is therefore fitting that our charter we should drape this crepe of black. An expression of sorrow that is in our hearts and of the mourning of the unit of Decatur over its great loss.” The chaplain then gave prayer, concluding the brief memorial service. The meeting- was closed with the singing of “America.” The colors were retired by the color bearers and the meeting adjourned.

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Lt. Governor Richard O. Ristine, whose tie-breaking vote paved the way for enactment of Indiana's first sales tax, today announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for governor. Ristine made his expected announcement at a news conference and described the principal issue of this election year “the challenge to provide more and better jobs for more and more Hoosiers.” Ristine became the third Republican hopeful for the nomination. Previously announced were Secretary of State Charles Hendricks and former Indiana Conservation Director Doxie Moore. If nominated and elected, he said, his administration would seek establishment of a longrange priority program to “help Indiana realize its economic potential.” Meanwhile, a three-cornered contest for the GOP senatorial nomination appeared to have developed at weekend meetings of county chairmen, vice chairmen and the State Committee. »■ The announced Republican senatorial candidates so far are State Sen. D. Russell Bontrager, president pro tern of the 1963 State Senate, and former State Sen. Edgar D. Whitcomb, Seymour attorney. Rep. Donald C. Bruce, Indianapolis, all but announced his senatorial candidacy as he mingled freely with politicos from all parts of the state. “A long-range priority system ... will show prospective employers that they no longer have to fear the undue influence of selfish interests,” said Ristine. “It will indicate that Indiana is through with the politics-as-usual philosophy that has characterized the present state administration.” Ristine said Indiana also needs action in areas ranging from school dropouts and voca-

He said he wanted “no part of the kind of non government that has been practiced by the present state administration.” “I will see to it that the office of the governor is not a prison in which the state’s chief executive, is held captive by a small clique of political hangers-on. I intend to make myself available to all the people. .. ” Ristine said Indiana cannot move into a period of great new economic growth “uhless Indiana has the kind of aggressive, determined leadership that says ‘yes’ to progress." Bruce said his chances for reelection as 11th District congressman were bright but admitted he was tempted by the senatorial bid. The State Committee’s Lincoln Day oratorical schedule showed Bruce will speak all over the state, including Hartford City, Grenfield, Muncie, Seymour, Bedford and Williamsport. Sixth District Republicans Saturday endorsed Ristine’s gu'bernatorial bid, but Fourth District committee members endorsed Robert E. Gates, son of former Gov. Ralph F. Gates.

THE DECATOR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Former Officer Os Gestapo Testifies FRANKFURT, Germany (UPI)—A former Gestapo officer today testified overcrowding at the Nazi Auschwitz death camp was solved by shooting prisoners. - “Room had to be made for new prisoners,” said Klaus Dylewski, 47, one of 22 men being tried for helping kill 2.5 to .4 million persons at the wartime death camp. The well-dressed defendant, seated and making “church steeples” with his fingers, described the shootings at Auschwitz. He said he watched as the prisoners were marched into a lavatory and stripped. A trusty would lead the inmates, one by one. to the bullet-pocked black wall, a feared spot in Auschwitz. “I would stand near the lavatory and watch them being shot. Hie trusty would hold the prisoner facing the wall and an SS trooper would shoot him in the neck from close behind. I never shot anyone myself, of course," he said. “Then why were you there?” asked a judge. “I was among those there to make sure the prisoners didn’t revolt* They ' tried sometimes. We had to make sure this did not happen,” Dylewski said. He said the victims’ bodies were “stacked” by the wall until all the shooting was done. Under questioning by the prosecutor, Dylewski said he “may very well” have ordered some prisoners into solitary confinement. He said he read out death warrants at public camp killings at times. The prosecutor looked at the darkhaired former Gestapo officer and said: “Mr. Dylewski, I believe you are a Christian and know the Fifth commandment, ‘Thou shalt not kill.’ How did you feej ■; about this at Auschwitz?” ... “Cruel,” replied Dylewski. “But I knew German airmen were treated badly in Russia . . War is cruel , . . I was very young ... It was difficult to tell right from wrong ” “Sometimes I got headaches because of the things that went on at Auschwitz,” the exgestapo man said. Dylewski refused to answer questions put by a special prosecutor representing West German victims of Auschwitz.
