Nazis May Use Jai|s
To Plan New War
By the Associated Press.

American officials planning ad-
ministration of defeated Germany
believe the Nazis may use their own
concentration camps to start plans
Tor another World War.
Already, it is believed, the Nazis
may have put some of their most
trusted followers, whose names and
faces are not widely known, in prison
and torture camps so that occupying
Allies will think they are anti
Hitler and spare them.
These Nazis would attempt to
worm their way into Allied conf
dence as prosecuted martyrs.
To counteract this possible Nazi
move to preserve party organization
and ideas, the Allies have built up
extensive files.
Primarily, however, they are
counting on information from Poles
Russians Czechs, French and others
who have been forced to work in
Germany during the war, and from
Germans themselves.

Labor 5 Hopes Pinned
On Dumbarion Talks,
Murray Declares
~ the Associated Press.

PITTSBURGH. Sept. 5.-Presi-
dent Philip e. Murray of the CIO
declared in q Labor Day address
that "our future peace and economic
welfare depend on intelligent coll
laboration with other nations"
Labor, he said, looks with great
hope to the outcome of such con-
ferences as those at Breton Woods
and Dumbarton Oaks.
Mr.. Murray declared, "A program
for reconversion and for full pro-
duction and employment after the
war must be worked out at once by
Government in cooperation with
industry, labor, agriculture and
other affected groups"
He asserted one Of the first steps
necessary, IF we are to have jobs
for all after the war, Is to increase
the purchasing power of the Amer
lean people" This step, he said
"iS prevented at the present time
by the so-called Little Steel for
mula which has frozen wage rates
at a level far below wartime living
costs"
Mr.. Murray urged that the Little
Steel" formula be revised, and said
the principle of a guaranteed annual
wage must be established through
out American industry.
OF the annual wage, he added
There is no sound reason why
industrial workers should continue
to be the only substantial group in
America who cannot figure their in
come in yearly terms, but must live
from week to week, or even from day
to day, without knowing if they will
have any income on the morrow"
1.-The key to this program for full
production and jobs for all is nation
al as well as international planning, :"
he said. I'VE recognize that private
industry has the primary RESPONSE
bility for providing full employment.
But we cannot rely solely upon its
uncontrolled profit instincts to per-
form this task, without risking an
even worse depression than followed
the last war"
