Briton Tells of Finding Dead Everywhere.
LUNEBURG, Sept. 18 (U. P)— A British medical officer told a! military court today how he found living women prisoners thrown in| with thousands of dead bodies at] the Belsen concentration camp. The officer, Brig. H. L. Glyn| Hughes, was the prosecution's first | witness against 45 Nazi guards from | Belsen and Oswiecim (Auschwitz) internment camps who are charged with being war criminals. Glyn Hughes is vice director of medical services for the British army of the Rhine. “Conditions in the Belsen camp were really indescribable,” Glyn Hughes said. ‘Photographs cannot bring home the horrors even to be found outside the camp huts. Ine side the huts it was far worse, but only a few saw it.” Face Death Penalties
The defendants in the case are subject to the death penalty if convicted. Among them was sullen,

Mayor Tyndall and other city officials were expected to appear before the county tax adjustment board today to explain the proposed 1946 city budget.
