guilty by political “treaty decisions” among the United Nations concerned, Some sources traced that stand fo ‘a fear among British leaders that ‘embarrassing disclosures might be made at a public trial. There was no immediate indication of the viewpoint favored by the other leading allied powers, chiefly Russia, whose spokesmen repeatedly have criticized the “soft” treatment accorded captured Nazis by the western allies. Radio Moscow bitterly attacked the delay in punishing captured axis leaders today and demanded

‘ that the Nazi menace “be eradicated | -

without tears or shilly-shallying.” Name Many Suspects \ Moscow particularly criticized the treatment of Goering, who was revealed to have heen taken secretly to Britain, along with Field Marshal Gerd Von Rundstedt, to await trial, Meanwhile, advices from the continent said investigators. there were |. submitting the names of thousands of alleged Nazi war criminals accused of atrocities during the Germans’ long reign. of terror in Europe. Poland was understood to have named 15000 suspected criminals! accused of rarticipation in the massacre of 5,000,000 Poles; France| named 2000, and Czechoslovakia “another 6000. = Included in the “Czech list was an ‘entire S. S; regiment charged with the extermina- | “tion: of Lidice. |

Swift Local Justice Completion of the various: lists) was expected to swell to 100,000 the| roster of suspects to be brought be. fore the United Nations tribunals. Many more faced the prospect of swifter justice at the hands of na- * tional courts in the liberated counThese criminals, = mostly “small fry” whose atrocities could be pinned down to specific localities and - against specific states, were considered local cases not referrable to the international courts. High on the latter list were Pierre Laval, former Vichy chief of government, and the Norwegian traitor Vidkun Quisling. Quisling was awaiting trial in an Oslo jail, but Laval still was interned in Spain in spite of repeated French demands for his extradition.

> Germans in Luxury The Vatican radio reported that a number of high-ranking Germans were being held in compara-~ tive luxury on the Italian island of Capri, their status still somewhat uncertain. Among them were said to be the industrialist Fritz Thyssen, former Nazi Finance Minister Hjalmar Schacht, Col. Gen. Franz Halder, _ one-time chief of the German general staff; Gen: Alexander von Falkenhausen, ex-governor of France and Belgium, and Prince Philippe of Hesse, once described as a leading Nazi, : All had been found in Nazi prison camps when the allies overran southern Germany and northern Italy, and it appeared uncertain whether they would be classified as criminals or men who had broken with the Nazi Fegime,

Did Not Appear Drunk

The bartender said he laughed, thinking Kelly was “kidding” him. It was then that the defendant drew the gun from a pocket and demonstrated how it had failed to fire when he had turned it upon himself, " “He "talked coherently tp me,” Reed continued. “He seemed normal when he called for a drink, saying: ‘Have a drink on Kelly. III be the last one you ever get.” On cross-examination Reed said he didn't think Kelly had had enough whisky to be Intoxicated although~he had noticed the de-. fendant staggering. Another witness today was James Michael, 63-year-old sign painter, who was working in the tavern at - the time. of Reed's conversation with Kelly. He corroborated Reed's testimony in certain details although he’ said he did not hear much of the conversation. Sherwood Blue is the prosecutor | while the defendant is represented «by John G. Caylor and Floyd Christian.

Despite repeated recommendations, he refused to let X-rays be taken of his stomach and’ chest, Morell believed Hitler refused the X-rays ‘ because he wanted to build an illusion he never was ill and was above normal physical infirmities, Even when doctors asked him, Hitler would say he. hever had been sick before. The records, however, showed he was treated for hysterical blindness as a result of being gassed in the last war, Last September he: had yellow jaundice, “vay Liked Dumplings x Morell confirmed that Hitler was a vegetarian. 'That made it easy to prescribe diets for him, The fuehrer did not smoke nor drfhk. His food was on’ the simple side, and he liked dishes -such as dumplings which he had eaten at home, The physician's remarks about. Eva Braun confirmed earlier evidence of this chapter of Hitler's life. However, his love affair was one of his best secrets, so far as the German people were concerned. Every average German to whom I have mentioned his romance .has been flabbergasted and said something like, “No, that's. not possible.” “Did Hitler really have a sweetheart?” asked one. “Mein gott, what next?”

And that jyst about stopped the breakfast and any interview. Barbara Anne Karsh, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Cy Karsh; went from knee to knee and brought smiles to each man.

“Greeted by Governor

“Chief” went to great lengths to tell about his war club and the others said it was _the first time they ever had seen him really willing to pose for a picture. Over the noon hour the three toured the downtown area in an open car and stopped at the east steps of the Statehouse to be greeted by Gov. Gates in a public welcome. There they displayed the now-famous flag raised over Mt. Suribachi. The 451st army service forces band from Camp Atterbury ‘played and George 8S.

named later, will Teceive 56000 annually, The new state aeronautics department was established by ‘the 1945 legislafure. Generally speak~ ing, the commission is. authorized to “encourage, foster and assist in the employment of aeronautics and to encourage: the reasonable establishment of airports, landing fields and other navigation facilities,” according to the act.

Draft of System A cewise possesses the privilege of oving or vetoing the purchase of lease of property by any city for ‘plane landing purposes. One of its first projects will be to draft a “state airport system plan,’ and to issue charts and bulletins in accordance with that plan. : One of the more signicant features of the 1945 aviation act confers “special police powers” upon

the commission to enable it to enforce Indiana aeronautics regula-

| tions,

Can Hold Hearings

The commission also is directed by the act to “classify” all existing airports in the light of their respective accommodations. It has the power to investigate and hold hearings on state aviation issues, Commissioners also are empowered to enter into agreements with federal aerial agencies, and to accept federal grants. ‘Only one specific regulation is {set forth in the 1945 law. This requires all Indiana towns of over 500 population to paint aerial markers on at least one of their building roofs. for identification purposes. ; .

political organization in Indiana. . Cite Objectives Ostensible purpose of the county chairman “union,” according to Republican spokesmen, is to “exchange ideas” in registration matters. They sdy that actually, only those chairmen in heavily populated districts are expected to play an active part in any organization maneuver, Ways and means of angling for the labor vote, financing campaigns and outlining programs are other potential objectives of the proposed group. Rippling deep beneath all of these, however, is the fluid and bitter wholesale beer issue which has many county chairmen in a dither, in the business, for both.

Gates in Touch . There might possibly bé an “exchange of ideas” on this matter

also, if and when county chairmen try to form a united front, political

‘| realists agreed.

Governor Gates is well aware -of these developments, in fact has talked over the organization with his "advisors. The governor keeps himself informed on things of this

‘sort. He now heads the state Re-

publican organization and StateHouse analysts are betting that the governor © will manage to keep everything, including organized chairmen, under control, ’

EXPENSE ACCOUNTS FOR SENATORS 0X.'D

WASHINGTON, May 23 (U. P.). —The senate appropriations committee has approved a $2500 tax exempt expense account for all members of congress. The committee decided by a vote of 11 to 4 to follow the lead of the house, which last week approved the expense account for house members as a rider to the 1046 legislative appropriations bill. The committee wrote in a similar provision to cover the senate, Senator John H. Overton (D. La.),

speaking for the majority, told re-

porters that members of the judiciary and officials of all the executive departments are allowed travel expenses and maintenance. The legislative branch, he said, is the only branch of government without such an allowance. Senator Joseph C. O'Mahoney (D. Wyo.), however, déclared that “this is a time to tighten our belts, not to loosen them.” ’ O'Mahoney, one of the four who voted against the expensé account, told reporters opposition senators believe congress should “raise its salary directly and not by a roundabout method.”

Radio Tokyo reported some 20 Superfortresses mined the Kanmon straits between Honshu and Kyushu and “ineffettively” raided northern Kyushu, American quarters did not confirm the raid but a Pacific communique disclosed that naval planes continued attacks on shipping in the enemy’s home waters.

Meanwhile, it was disclosed that American short-wave stations from San Francisco and Saipan have been broadcasting official warnings to Japan that she faces greater destruction than Germany unless she surrenders unconditionally. . The broadcasts were designed to counter-act Japanesé “victory or extermination” propaganda. Deny Enslavement The broadcasts denied ‘that unconditional surrender would entail either enslavement or extermination of Japan.’ They were and are being made with the highest government backing over office of war information stations with the aim of convincing “responsible, thinking Japanese” of the advantages of surrender. Capt. Ellis M. Zacharias, one of the navy’s top experts on Japan and

Capehart (R. Ind), Maj. Gen. F.E. Stoner, war department representative with the federal communications commission, and Paul Porter, chairman of the FCC." The congressional group, in Europe to study the communications system, had called at the general's headquarters and was invited to accompany him on the flying trip here. The repatriates—about 40,000 enlisted men and 4500 officers—were captured from two months to two years ago in Sicily, Italy, France, Belgium, Holland and Germany Some have been awaiting shipment home for three weeks, others for only a few days.

Still Fighting a War

Gen. Eisenhower told the repatriates he felt sure there was none among them who had “forgotten we are still at war with Japan.” “We are doing everything in our power to get you out of here and back home to see your families,” he said, “But there is a great deal of activity now in progress to take -care of the war with Japan, and if we can’t supply the shipping for you immediately, it is only bécause we must also think of your fellow-sol-diers fighting in the Pacific. “Speaking for everyone in America, IT want to express our gratitude to you all for defeating Germany. You men carried the ball for us and we will not forget it.”

Tke Gets Ovation

The repatriates gave the general a big ovation as he mounted the truck to speak. Another roar went up after he motioned for quiet and said “Say, I'm just a G. I, not a movie star.” (A Rome broadcast reported by the C. B. 8. in New York said today. that the German ' passenger ship Europa would be brought to a British port for repairs and then used to transport American troops home.)

He said the Japanese had organized defensive positions in the hills and that the Australians were. going ahead cautiously with efforts to clean up the defenders.
