Senator Stewart was quoted as say- . ing the Marion county registration '' purge findings would be turned over ‘0 the justice .department for posJ #ible prosecution.

made such a strong Statement, but suggested that Attorney General Biddle could have the data if he | wanted it. Senator Ball then an- | nounced he had no objection to giv- | ng the findings to the justice department, but added that there was nothing in the record, so far as he | “could see, upon which prosecution could be based. Today, Senator Sfewart concluded that the full,committee headed by Senator Theodore F. Green (D. R. I) is certain to recommend justice department action. He added that investigators for {he committee may return to Indianapolis for a further check of Marion county records.

As a _ pesult, when a Republican replaced & Democrat in January, 1043, the * Yegistration office was cleaned out and new employees hired. “These new and relatively inex-| enced employees, together with | y jent temporary help, made | many mistakes in 1944 in handling . the largest registration since the . Jaw was passed in 1934. As a ve- . sult, names of many voters who * had registered were not on precinct ; and many were denied- the _ right to vote.

Just after 3 ambulances rolled up with more wounded requiring” surgery, a German captain walked in covering all of us with a pistol. “Nothing but unarmed medical personnel were at the hospital so we just kept scrubbing up, preparing to operate. The German ordered everybody outside, but a spunky nurse spoke up: - ‘They can't do that-—-don’t they know we have work to do. " » =» “AS WE lined up, Pvt. Jack Kronengold, Newark, N, J, remarked under his breath: ‘I wish I had had a set of dogtags made with the name Schmidt on them.’ “The German captain and lieutenant frisked us, took our pocket knives and told us the six nurses woudl be permitted to remain, with one officer and four enlisted men, “The 75 of us who remained were prisoners and would leave in our own ambulances and vehicles for the German rison cage.
