Most of those selected as
guinea pigs were Polish girls,
although there were few Yugo-
slavs and Romanians.
They were picked from the
most intelligent and attractive
prisoners. All were young,
ranging in age from II to %.
At first the Germans tried
to pretend that their service
was voluntary.
They were summoned TO the
hospital, told about the expert
ments and informed that they
were volunteers.
The girls Immediately an
nounced that they did not wish
to be volunteers.
For three days they were
kept locked in a special Jail.
The whole camp was given no

LEG CURE SOUGHT

Apparently the aim OF the ex-
was TO discover a cure
for certain types of leg infection
which afflicted German soldiers.
The doctors began their work
by injecting the legs OF the
guinea pigs"
Then they tried various methods
Of treatment.
From the legs OF some OF the
girls they removed muscles. From
some they removed bones.
Some of the experiments were
so unsuccessful that the legs had
to be amputated.
A considerable number were
even more unsuccessful.
The girls died.
But those who lived. even though
manned and i'm constant pain, still
had to stand at attention for the

were provided with clutches to
enable them TO stand.

BRoTHEL JOBS IGNORED

In the case Of these experiments
the volunteer" system did not
work out. But there were other
things for which the Germans
asked, and got. volunteers.
The camp had a quota OF 70
women a day to be shipped to
brothels for the soldiers.
AS inducements to volunteer
the prisoners were promised good
food and beautiful clothes"
IT was seldom, however. that

Two thirds of Goal for Gastinedu Channel Has
 Now Been Passed

Moving forward with the precision and the power of our invading forces in Germany, the army of solicitors in the National War Fund campaign advanced through Juneau yesterday This morning the capture of one key objective was announced, with the taking of others expected soon to follow.
 There just seems to be no stop ping our workers" said Jack Fletch- CT, Chairman of the local drive. ''The results they've been obtaining during the past few days have been really wonderful. On Monday when we were able to announce the grati- flying total of slightly over $5.000 in contributions, we fully intended not to make any further announcements until Friday when we though it likely there would be enough addi- tional to justify such publicity But the very substantial gifts made since Monday have necessitated a change in our plans. I am delighted to report this morning that Juneau's total has just passed the $7,00O mark.
 This means" he pointed out. that we are slightly more than two-t thirds of the way toward the oooI of e10 Snn
 Another of the ladies undertaking the major task of covering the resi- dential districts of the entire city completed her assignment yesterday when Mrs. Ike P Taylor turned in her final report.
 The thorough canvass of the resi- dents of the Glacier Highway and the surrounding area is assured now that the services of an additional full time solicitor has been enlisted today. He is Irving G. Ulmer, of Mendenhall Valley. Oh firm n Fletcher asks that, inasmuch as the territory he will cover is extensive, everyone there give MT. Ulmer the fullest cooperation.
 Local campaign headquartrs eagerly awaits word from Mrs. John Mccormick, Chairman of the Fund for the Territory of Alaska. She has been in the Interior for several weeks helping with the organization of the drives in Anchorage, Fair banks and elsewhere. It is under stood that she has met with great success in both places, as we'll as the other communities, so it looks as though Alaska as whole would again come through with it's full measure of support of another na- tion- wide campaign.

ROOSEVELT WILL MAKE

Political Road Show to Be Staged, Winding Up
 Saturday Night

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Presi- dent Roosevelt's fourth term bid to- day took on the trappings of a full production political road show, with the President scheduled for train platform appearance, speeches and automobile tours in two-day swing to the Middle West, the trip to wind up Saturday night in speech in Chicago's Soldiers Field, "A hours after the President speaks at Shibe Park in Philadelphia.
 Both addresses will be broadcast nationally in connection with the Presidents activity.
 The President told the news con- ference yesterday that reputable papers misquoted his statement, said that he would have no time for politics in the usual sense this year They left out an important except, ! he asid, in his promise to go to the people to correct any misrepresen- tationS."

WASHINGTON, Oct. g - Until now President Roosevelt has been politically fortunate in having had probably more whipping boys than any other candidate for public of flee.
 Even now, he has Sidney Hill- man, head of the CIO Political Action Committee, with Secretary of Labor Frances Ma" Perkins, Interior Secretary Harold Cur mudgeon" Ickes and several state and city Democratic bosses com ing in for their share.
 But for the first time in 12 years his opponent for the presi- dency has chosen the direct per- sonal attack. Starting with his lahoma City speech, Gov. Thomas E. Dewey abandoned for the time being at least the cam paign policies of his predecessors.
 Instead of centering his fire on policies and appointees, he started swinging at the Champ" himself.

 Red Army
Russians Cross Border and Capture Important
 Seaport Town

LONDON, Oct. 25.-The Russian Army has crossed the frontier into Norway, Premier Stalin announced in his Order of the Day.
 Moscow said that Gen. Meptes- kov's Arctic army has already cap tured the Norwegian seaport of Kirkenese. Berlin, three hours earl fer, broadcast the announcement of the evacuation of Kirkenese.
 The capture indicated the Red Army's intention of marching through Norway in pursuit of per- haps 25,0OO German troops, driven out of what was formerly northern Finland in the battle for Petsamo 30 miles from Kirkenese.
 Stalin also announced the capture of Satu Mare, the last Rumanian city held by the Germans, and near by Carei, both in Pennsylvania, hard by the prewar Hungarian frontier
 The Norwegian port town of Kirk enese in the Arctic was evacuated after the destruction of all military installations at the submarine and air base athwart the Murmansk con- voy route, Berlin said.

'0NE KILLED IN
 PLANE CRASH AT kET(HIkAN
Passenger Dead. Pilot In. jured when Graft
 Strikes Dolphin

One passenger, Louis B. Riley, is dead, and the pilot, E. F. Coulter, was seriously injured when Bel lanca Skyrocket seaplane of the Ellis Air Transport, returning from mercy flight" to Hydaburg, crash ed into dolphin in Ketchikan har- bor Monday evening at 630 D. m.
 Mrs. Olive Lauth, a maternity case being taken to Ketchikan, was injured as were her two children, and James Edenshaw. The pilot pulled the passengers from the fast sinking plane and put them on top of the wreckage. He failed to extri- cate Riley in time and he died four hours later, failing to recover from immersion in the water for over ten minutes.
 After saving the passengers, Coul- ter became unconscious. Winging in low in the fast-ap- preaching dusk in preparation to making a landing, Coulter failed to see a row of dolphins in front Of the Northern Machine Works and hit one of them, shearing it off. The plane then bounced into four more dolphins, falling into the water compleBe1y demolished. Some Coast Guardsmen who were in the Northern Machine Works shop, saw the crash and immediately launched skiffs and aided in the recue work.
 Riley was taken to the hospital but failed to respond to artificial respiration and died four hours later.
 This is the first accident involving loss of life or injury to a pas senger that the Ellis Air Transport has had since the company was started by Commander R. E. Ellis in 1886.

HOMER JEWELLI5 DEAD IN NEVADA:
 ILL LONG TIME

MacARTHURs HEAD

GEN. MacARTHUR'S HEAD QUARTERS IN THE PHILIP PINES, Oct. 24 (Delayed) Over coming Japanese resistance in the mire and heat, American libera tion forces pressed the reconquest of Leyte Island in the central Philippines today by seizing an- other airfield and also freed nu- merous towns of the enemy yoke.
 (At Pearl Harbor, Admiral Nimitz announced tersely that Japanese battleships and cruisers had been sighted moving eastward toward the central Philippines, indicating a potential meeting with American Naval units. Strict radio silence precluded further details)
 A field dispatch to the Melbourne Herald reported that American tanks have been ferried across San Juaniso Strait from Leyte and have established a bridgehead on Samur Island. The dispatch has not been officially confirmed. and no action has been reported by any other source.
 While ground forces at the northern end of the Leyte battle front repulsed a bitter all-night enemy counterattack near Palo. the southern army battled ahead from Dulag through the mire and heat, seizing the San Pablo airfield. The action apparently occurred after the issuance of MacArthur's Tues day communique, which stated that the San Pablo outskirts had been reached.
 Three airfields are now in Am erican hands. The others are at Tacloban, on the northern end of Leyte, and Dulag. The Tacloban field is already in limited opera tion.
