Dying Nazi Torturer Tainan
By ROBERT MUSEL United Press Staff-Correspondent MUNICH, Aug. 31.—The “Monster of Mauthausen” wrenched loose from a pair of ‘M, P.'s and broke .for A shower of bullets sent him skidding on his face in the Avsirian mud and he lay there, while his blood and life ebbed away. The man dying in the slime, it was revealed today, was S. S. General Franz Ziereis, whose crimes appalled even his fellow Nazi leaders. He fell into American hands last May.

IN HIROSHIMA
City of 300,000 Vanished, Writer Says.
The following dispatch was written by Leslie Nakashima, employed by the United Press in Tokyo at the outbreak of the war. It had been expected that he would be interned with U. P. Bureau Manager Robert Bellaire but the police left him free. By LESLIE NAKASHIMA Written for United Press TOKYO, Aug. 27 (Delayed) .— Hiroshima was destroyed at one strike by a single atomic bomb dropped by a Superfort on the morning of Aug. 6. There is not a single building standing intact in the city, which had e population of 300,000. The death toll is expected to reach 100,000, and people continue to die from burns suffered from the bomb’s ultra-violet rays. (Editor's note—U. S. scientists say the atomic bomb will not have lingering after-effects in a devastated area.) I arrived at Hiroshima at 5 a. m. Aug. 22 to find out about my mother, who lived in the outskirts of the city. No Longer Existed
Alighting from the train, I found that Hiroshima station—once one of the largest in western Japan— no longer existed. The only thing that was left was a concrete platform.

Before he died, he called for an interrogator, While doctors kept him alive with hypodermic injections, he gasped out a story of mass murder and atrocity that will be used at the forthcoming war criminal trials in Nuernberg. Rambling somewhat because death already was ' clouding his mind, the Nazi torturér mumbled bitterly that his wages of murder were barely enough to support his wife and three children in comfort. Ninety dollafs a week was the price for which 1,500,000 persons died in the 30 hell camps Ziereis
years, It averaged out a dollar 1% | every 75 men, women and children he killed or ordered killed. Ziereis' talent for killing was so marked that Adolf Hitler told him he would be wasted at the front, where slaying is apt to be haphazard. So, in 1940, he was appointed fommandant of the Mauthausen camp, “the last stop this side of hell” for the enemies of Nazism, Capt. Victor Miles, Newark, N. J, of the U. S. war crimes office, said “hell would be an improvement on Mauthausen.” There were 30 camps in the

BRITAIN HAILS WRITE-OFF IDEA
on
Truman's Suggestion Lend-Lease Praised.
LONDON, Aug. 31 (U. Pl) President Truman's suggestion that the United States write off its $42, 000,000,000 lend-lease contribution to the allied war pool was hailed in the British press today as “an admirable beginning to a partnership in peace.” The London News-Chronicle said editorially that the President's statements on lend-lease show he is “looking ahead with prescience and imagination.” “They provide the starting point for the talks between the (American) state department and the Keynes mission which could not have been more felicitously chosen,” the newspaper said in commenting on Mr. Truman's remarks. “They lay the foundations of a continuing accord between Britain and America on principles which must animate the post-war world.”
Termed ‘Generous’
The London Daily Mail praised Mr. Truman's lend-lease report as a “generous” statement which would be welcomed warmly in Britain, and the Daily Telegraph in a similar vein hailed it as “farsighted” gesture, The London Weekly Economist, reviewing the situation created by | the American termination of lendlease aid, asserted that Britain would be within ‘its rights to ask for clarification of the American
policy. “The Americans can refuse to

DESCRIBES GOAL FOR J0B B MAKING
Vinson Savs U. U. S. Will Need! $150 Billion Income.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31 (U. P.). —The United States must achieve an annual national income of $150,000,000,000 to meet its goal of full employment, Secretary of Treasury Fred M. Vinson said today. He told a senate banking commit-| tee hearing on the administration's full employment bill that the task of providing, jobs for all who want to work can be accomplished through free enterprise “if we face it frankly.” Vinson supported the pending full employment legislation but cautioned against underestimating ‘the difficulty of post-war employment problems. “It means a national income of $150,000,000,000 as compared with $78,000,000,000 in 1940,” he said. “It means assuring jobs for approximately 60,000,000 people as compared with 47,000,000 in 1940.

The survey covered 42 of the most important peacetime industries, rep-! resenting 3750 manufacturers, Using | 1939-41 as the base peacetime period | the survey showed that: 1. In July 1945, civilian production | was at 46 per cent and employment! at 51 per cent of the base period. 2. August production estimates! were 48 per cent and employment 57 per cent. 3. By December, production will be 112 per cent and employment 96 per cent. 4. By June 1946, production is expected to reach 187 per cent and employment 133 per cent. Better than Expected “In our book,” said Krug, “the reconversion rate is much better than we had expected. These industries, our experience has shown, don't usually stick their necks out in making future estimates. I have great confidence in their figures.” He emphasized that aithough these firms expected to employ more people than ever before they could! not possibly absorb all those ‘that are being released from war-time industries.
