“I am (determined that no one who may be culpable will escape Gen. McNarney said in an interim report on
being brought to justice,” the progress of the trials, The cases involved charges that officers and men were brutal to American military prisoners at the
placement stockade at Lichfleld, England. Gen, McNarney said thal an investigati made by Maj. Gen. John T, Lewis, western area commander, revealed “mishandling” and “failure” on the part of some intermediate commanders to “recognize the seriousness of the situation.” He added that the officers in charge also neglected a complete investigation of brutality complaihts and to take “prompt corrective and punitive action as required.” As a result, Gen. McNarney said he has directed his inspector general to undertake the review of all phases of the trials as they occurred from June, 1944, to the present time. The inspector general also was ordered to “closely observe” the continuance of the trials with the ald of a special staff.
Reassess the Facts
Gen. McNarney said that he ordered the review to enable him to reassess the facts brought out in an interim investigation of the Lichfield charges made by Gen. Lewis last Septembet and October. He revealed that Gen. Lewis recommended that administrative reprimands be given to “certain offices involved in thé delays that occurred” in the trials. In his report, Gen. McNarney also disclosed that Gen, Dwight D. Eisenhower” army chief of stafly decided to withhold specific punishment against the officers involved until it was determined whether “more drastic action” might be

RUSS PAPER ATTACKS STARS AND STRIPES
VIENNA, May 14 (U. P.)~—The| Russian army newspaper Oester= reichische Zeitung im an editorial | yesterday attacked the American army newspaper Stars and Stripes for its account of the April 30 buzzing of Gen. Mark Clark's lane by a Soviet aircraft. The editorial accused the Stars and Stripes of “a fatal inclination | toward inciting fairy tales unfriend- | ly to the Soviet Union.” “Those who know the manners of Stars and Stripes were not at all] astonished to read in the same] paper on May 2—but of course in a very hidden place under a small headline—a note , . . that explained that Geng (Brig. Gen. Ralph A) Snavely, pilot of the American plane, sald the buzzing was not unfriendly and that the plane actually was not Clark's,” the editorial said. “This paper (Stars and Stripes) is buzzing and humming into their readers’ ears manyfold anti-Rus-sian fairy tales and evidently is looking for simpletons who believe what it reports.”
FRANKFURT, May 14 (U. P.).— The Stars and Stripes yesterday carried the text of the editorial which appeared in the Russian army newspaper in Vienna. As comment the Stars and Stripes pointed out that U. 8. headquarters confirmed on May 2 that the American plane had been buzzed by a Russian aircraft’ and that the American plane did belong to Gen. Mark Clark.

every 18 months for $18,000, Mr.

lice superintendent, disclosed way that two-thirds of all automobiles stolen were left this way, There's an even chance for & stolen car to be recovered. : Night, according to a survey oh state police records, is the time | when most cars are stolen. Almost two-thirds of them were taken during this period. A total of 8 - per cent of them were taken from the street, Automobile theft increased the | first three months of 1046, Col, Killian revealed. This is a third higher than for the same period last year. A shortage of automobiles and the higher value of second-hand vehicles accounted for this ine crease, in the superftendent's opinion. Three-fourths of all cars stolen last year were taken by persons under 20, Col. Killian said. It is his belief that most teen-agers steal cars for joy-riding, rathep than to pursue criminal activities. . Almost half the thieves wreck of damage an automobile during the time they have it, while 30 pep cent leave it undamaged but gase
