most filled last night despite the
rain and the wind. More than 500
persons came.
Deep concern. parental anxiety,
had brought them.
They were the parents, wives, sis

of them was connected with a
young American held by the enemy
or waiting for the welcome word
that one missing in action was a
prisoner.
There were a few mink coats, a

men and women, were the ordinary

They had come to hear a young
Swiss businessman. Henry Wasmer
He has been director of the war
prisoner work of the International
Red Cross. the Swiss organization
authorized by treaty to visit the wal
prisons of all combatants.
Seven weeks ago he was walking
the streets of Berlin-possibly he is
the only man on this continent who
has been there SO recently.
He would not tell what he saw
there. except he did say that the
International Red Cross headquar-
ters there was now in a building on
the outskirts, the third building il
had occupied. Something hap
pened to the other two he said.
He was 26 days coming here by
ship-first up the coast of Norway
under German escort, then to the
Faeroe Islands, where the Red Cross
ship was handed over to British es-
cort, then to the Azores. then to an
American port
Bad and Hopeful News.
Mr. Wasmer had bad and hopeful
news for the relatives of prisoners.
The task of getting the Red Cross
supplementary ration packages to
the prisoners was getting more diff
ficult, he said, as Allied advances
and Allied bombings wreck Ger
many's transportation system. The
prisoners will share the lack Of fuel
and other deprivations of the Ger
man civilian population
One woman asked how often they
inspected each German camp
Don't you realize" Mr.. Wasmer
said, that there are more than 5000
prison camps in Germany and more
than 100000 working groups of pris-

Warrants Are Issued
For 20 on Charges
OF degrading Meat

Municipal Court Judge John p.
Mcmahon today signed warrants for
the arrest of 20 meat retailers here
charged with upgrading point free
meat and taking ration points from
consumers.
Police then began preparations for
service of warrants, with arrests ex-
pected late today.
The bench warrants, authorized
yesterday by the United States
attorneys office, were presented by
Chief Enforcement Attorney John
L. Laskey of the District Once of
Price Administration He said he
had evidence Of fragrant and per-
sistent" violations of the Emergency
Price Control Act.
The OPA thus was striking at a
new practice disclosed by the agency
last week-retailers allegedly taking
large numbers of red ration points
from consumers when they were not
actually required. Most cases in
volved sales of point-free utility
meat, the OPA said.

A preliminary discussion by OPA
meat officials was held here yester-
day after New York dealers said
they planned to close on Christmas.
1t was said statement probably
would be made after the meeting
today.
The dealers said they could not
operate at profit and observe OPA
regulations. They declared the rules
made 1t virtually impossible to do
business without becoming jail

City Councilman Michael Quill that
