Forster Demands Removal
Of Poles and Jews

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, Oct. 14.-Albert Forster,
Nazi district leader for Danzig, in
a speech at Bromberg. Bydgoszcz,
demanded ruthless removal of all
Poles and Jews from Germany's
conquered provinces in Poland.
The speech was delivered Thurs
day, but its text reached Berlin only
today.
Forster now is Adolf Hitler's
deputy for the Provinces of Pomorze
(the former Polish corridor) and
Pommerellen, German territory be-
fore the World War settlement made
them Polish.
"It is our obligation ruthlessly to
cleanse this land of all scoundrels,
robbers, Poles and Jews" Forster
said. I'VE don't want history to
charge us with having missed this
historic hour. We want to profit
from 1t in the consciousness that
the Poles, if they stood in our place
today, would have dealt with us even
worse.
Fellow citizens, we cannot be
severe enough. Let us not be soft
that would be a mistake"

Police Seek Identity

Found in Swamp

NEW CASTLE, Pa, Oct. IA
State and county police joined to-
night in attempts to identify the
headless body Of a man-at first
mistaken for that of a girl-whose
mutilated torso was found amid
the remnants of weird funeral
pyre in desolate swamp near here.
Police had believed the victim was
q girl until DR.. David Perry an
nounced after an autopsy that the
torso was that of man, presum-
ably between 20 and 80 years old,
about feet 6 inches tall and
weighing about 120 pounds.
See Hand of Mad Butcher"
Only 100 miles from Cleveland,
where the long sought mad butcher
OF Kingsbury Run" has left the
bodies of dozen persons on dumps
over period of years, the discovery
near here aroused suspicion of police
that the Cleveland slayer might have
been responsible.
Detective Peter Merlyo of the
Cleveland homicide squad came here
to study the case.
An all-day search through the
-marshy land failed to uncover
trace of the victims head, but police
did find three possible clues-a pair
Of mans shoes, piece of blue denim
apparently from a mans overalls,
and a piece of cheap toweling.
To Try to Get Fingerprints.
Although newspapers had been
burned in the clenched fists of the
victim in what police believe was an
attempt to obliterate fingerprints,
State motor police announced Ber-
tillon expert would attempt to OBJ
tain fingerprints from the charred
hands.
The investigators estimated the
man had been dead since about
September %. Pieces of Youngs-
town (Ohio) newspaper Of that date
were found nearby.
Boys gathering nuts found the
body yesterday in what is called
murder swamp" because the lonely
place has been the scene of half
dozen slayings in the past decade,
all unsolved.
Police several days ago routed
tramps from a hollow in the swamp
they had frequented.

that silence be maintained at all

"Our method of performing this
