My wife and I know the figures
given US by the Polish under

we did BIT of figuring ourselves
during our crossing from Lisbon to
New York on the Drottningholm.
First we drew up list of all
our Polish relatives. friends and
acquaintance. We listed 362
names. Next TO the names, we
placed these symbols: A circle for
the living cross for those who
had died two crosses for those
who had been murdered; a star
for those in concentration camps
and two stars for those who had
disappeared and whose fate was
unknown. I
Our results were as follows. e.

Visit by Hinn,Ier
Spurs Executions

Although the total now regis
tered in this file exceeds 100000,
the actual figure for executions is
probably much higher because
only known deaths" at the hands
of the Nazis are entered in File
D." Those who merely "disap-
pear" and are never heard OF
again are not placed in the file
until some confirmation nj their
execution is received.
From March, 194l, after Hmm
ler's visit to Poland, the number
of executions mounted rapidly,
and by June of this year it was
estimated that an average OF
1876 Poles were being executed
daily by the Germans on one pre-
text or another.
Usually some vague charge at
INSTRUMENTATION is brought against
the intended victim and a mock
trial is sometimes held, although
in many instances even this is dis,
penSed with.
But even such shocking Stats
tics do not begin to tell the story
of Poland's plight, although the
total number of executions has al
ready exceeded the total normal
increase of Polands population
for three and a half years.
What astonished me most was
the deliberately planned system
with which the NaZiS carried out
their program Of brutality. Every
thing was carried out according TO
a command; the mass murders
were not acts of spontaneous pas
sion but simply the result Of coldly
PLANNED tactics. The Germans be-
haved like robots obeying a soul
less machine, inSensible TO human
suffering.

-Curtailment of its steel quotas

however, that ii would be able to

subcommittee which
has conducted hearings in an at
tempt TO find out why a $3.50, 000,-
600 fund was used 10 develop
plants for production Of rubber
only from petroleum,
Alcohol forms the base of buta-
diene, a liquid which forms crude
rubber when mixed with gas and
a third agent. Supporters of the
Gillette bill have contended that
development of this second process
would speed up rather than hinder

Nelson Takes
SynthetieRubber
Drive Command
Stage Being Set
in Senate for Try
to Limit His Control

WASHINGTON. July Is QNS).
War Production Chief Donald
NJ. Nelson took personal command
today of the program to speed up
production of synthetic rubber as
the stage was being set in the
Senate for an attempt to strip him
of control over the manufacture
of the vital material from farm
produce.
AS Nelson told newspapermen
that he was mot fully satisfied"
with the progress OF synthetic
rubber to date and that he per-
sonally was taking a hand In
speeding up production. Senator
Elmer Thomas Cd of Oklahoms
served notice he will act to bring
up the Gillette bill at the earliest
possible moment, probably when
the Senate reconvenes Tuesday.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-07-19

The Gillette bill would set up a
supply agency TO be headed
by director at $4,000 year to
control production of rubber from
farm produce by first converting
the produce into alcohol.
Nelson repeatedly has voiced
to the bill on the
grounds it would divide RESPONSE
bility over the rubber program,
which he classed as the nations
mo. l problem now"
The WIPE chairman denied that
his personal effort in the drive for
rubber meant that Arthur B. New
hall and other subordinates in the
WPB rubber division had been
shorn of their responsibilities.
