Only one person was killed in

FOUR CONVICTED
OF WAR CRIMES
Continued from Page One)

Continued from Page One)
Germans are on trial following
the pledge of the Soviet Union,
the United States and Great Brit
ain that war criminals would be
brought to justice at the scenes
Of their crimes and tried under
local law.
Moscow newspapers devoted
much space to the trial and gave
these highlights from the testi-
mony:
A German police corporal, Rein
hardt Ratzlaw, 36, under exami-
nation by Maj. Gen. A. N. Maisani-
kov Of the 4th Ukrainian military
tribunal, who is presiding over
the trial, testified in detail OF
how he participated in the beat
ing and torture of Russians, such
as pulling hair out of their boards
and sticking pins into women. He
also testified that he helped op-
crate a death automobile where
Russians were put to death from
carbon monoxide gas.
Ratzlaw estimated that about
5000 were killed in this fashion
and that the total killed in Khar-
kov and Kharkov province was
about 10000. He further estimat-
ed that the Germans had execut-
ed about 5000 to 5000 persons at
Zhitomir, about $4,000 at Kiev and
about 1000 at Lubri during their
occupation of these cities
The Nazi corporal told the court
that he felt responsible for the
deaths of these people ''in tho
sense that l carried out the or.
ders of my chiefs"

Roosevelt Takes Stern Action
10 Prevent Information Leaks

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. -R-
president Roosevelt, taking stern
measures to prevent leaks of i'm.
portant war information, today di-
rected the war and navy secreta,
rles and the director of the Office
OF War Information to refuse to
issue in advance, for release to
the public at future hour. any
news having a security value.
The American people," he said
IN memorandum, want prompt
ly all the news which can be told
safely, and they are entitled to
have it without the interposition of
artificial BARRIERS
The text of his memorandum:
(2OO.
"You are fully aware, I know, of
the regrettable Commissions which
have arisen recently over the is
suance of official news relating to
the war, particularly in connection
with the conferences at Cairo and
Teheran.
1--WE may all be proud that Am
erican newspapers, news agencies
and broadcasters kept the faith
and observed the release dates
which had been fixed by interna-
tional agreement. It is most disap-
pointing that such loyalty should
have been penaljzed by failures
elsewhere.
Il see no point il prolonging con-
troversy over what is passed; the
important thing is that we take
decisive action to prevent a re-
currence. To that end, your depart
ment and all other branches of
the government will be guided by
the following:
First, no information having
security value in connection with
the war will be issued in advance,
for release to the public at some fu-
ture hour.
Secondly, all such information
