Tt is only when the stench of the camp is smelled that anyone can have complete appreciation of the depth of degradation to which the German Nazi government and those responsible for it and its agencies, organizations and practices had dropped in their treatment of those who have failed to embrace the doctrines of the master race"
 The Nordhausen camp, Barkley said, was a combination factory and starvation center. Slave laborers were systematically starved to death, while being forced to work long hours at an underground fac tory which produced VI and V-2 bombs, airplane engines and muni- tions.
 At Dachau, Barkley said, the committee saw about 300 bodies of those who had died that morning. The Dachau gas chamber, he re- ported, could dispose of about 100 men at a time. Prisoners were also shot after being forced to kneel at at the edge of open pits.

 On land, Russian armies rounded up another 170,O00 German prison CTS, including 10 generals, a Mos- COW communique announced. This boosted Russia's total prisoner bag since Germany's surrender at mid- night week ago to 1,230, 900, in- cluding 101 generals.
 A Yugoslav communique has announced that partisans had dis armed group of 19,000 Germans and were annihilating scattered en- emy remnants in the Drava river valley.
 The Allied bag of submarines in the Atlantic was announced by Rear Admiral Sir Max Horton, command CT of the western approaches to Britain.
 Most of the 37 had surrendered on the British side of the Atlantic, he said. Seventeen already were in United Kingdom ports and others were en route after surrendering at set to British ships. Submarines still unaccounted for may not have received surrender in- structions from the German naval command because of communities tlons dtfhculties, Horton said. Until all have surrendered, Allied warships were continuing to escort Atlantic shipping.

scored 25 direct hits on a gray stone barracks building in the heart of Shuri yesterday, but all 25 shells bounced of the thick walls like so many rubber balls without appar- ent damage.
 It was believed that the enemy's subterranean defense system may radiate from the building, christened "Shuri Castle" by the Doughboys.
 Conical Hill, a 5OO-foot clay height from which the Japanese had stalled the east coast drive for more than a week, (fell to the Seth division.
 Two rifle companies reached the summit of the hill, 2,500 yards east of Shuri, Sunday afternoon and held firmly despite Japanese counter attacks
 The 3e3d Infantry Regiment came to their rescue and completed cap ture of the hill yesterday.
 Their flank protected, other units of the 96th division advanced 2,400 yards of the south, capturing Yona- baru airf1eld and driving to within a half mile of the port of Yonabaru.
 Japs Hold AirfieId
 Only one airfield on Okinawa re- mained in Japanese hands. That was the Naha field, south of Naha itself.
 With conical hill in their hands, the Americans were in 8 position to wheel south and west to envelop Shuri and Naha from the rear
 Carrier planes and the big guns of warships offshore continued to support the ground campaign.
 Several groups of Japanese planes attacked American shipping of Okinawa Sunday night and early Monday and damaged three units.
 Of Okinawa, 35 enemy planes attacked in three groups. They damaged two light American naval units, but lost 25 planes in the et-

 Churchill did not reply when Maj. Ernest Lloyd, conservative, asked: Do you realize how delighted the nation would be if the venue of such conferences were London?"
 Churchill said Britain already has finished celebrating victory in Eu- rope, and has turned to the "diffi- cult and unpleasant tasks including the defeat of Japan"
 He said formal victory parades would be postponed until Japan is defeated.
 Asked whether it was probable Britain could celebrate the surren- der of Japan before next Christmas, Churchill observed:
 We would all do justice to it."
 Churchill said Europe is in state of frightful confusion at the mo- ment." with many things still not cleared up.

2-The placing of Yugoslav forces under Marshal Sir Harold R. L. G. Alexander, supreme AL lied commander in the Mediter- ranean, by Marshal Tito.
 The British foreign office spokes- man said that Tito agreed last Feb ruary in Belgrade that the whole of Italy must be under Alexander. But Yugoslavia now claims that rightfull Istria is Yugoslav terri tory, not Italian.
 A Rome dispatch said 8 British Eighth Army military government team was ready and waiting to move into Trieste to set up temporary Anglo American administration If the YugoSlavS withdraw.
 The Istrian peninsula, also known as the Slovene Littoral, totals only 5000 square miles and originally was part of the old Austro-H Hun garian Empire. It was ceded to Italy in the 1919 peace treaty. The popu- lation now is mostly Italian.
 Dispatches from Belgrade said Edward Kardelj, premier in Tito's government, expressed will- ingness to wait on the peace con- ference for settlement of the Yugo- slav-I Italian border, but insisted on the right of Yugoslav forces to oc- cupy Istria in the meantime.
 Tt is quite. natural" he said, ''that in the territory it has occupied, the Yugoslav army should have at least the same rights as have other Allied armies which have occupied foreign territories.
 This territory is no foreign land, but our own national soil which was seized from Yugoslavia by force"
 British and American troops are in Trieste, but only by agreement with the Yugoslav commander to repair the port.
 Italy also was involved in gor- der dispute with France. French troops have occupied and set up military ogervment in a narrow strip of northwest Italy.
 A London News-Chronicle dis patch said that the United States an dBritain might ask France to withdraw from the area in line win their notes to Yugoslavia.

ated security system.
 The United States, after days of study, has decided upon the general principles by which it intends to solve the problem, but has been un- able yet to put them into satisfac- tory language for incorporation into the Dumbarton Oaks proposals. There seems to be general agree ment that regional problems should be handled this way:
 l. The regional organization tries first to settle local disputes through peaceful means, but short of en- forcement action.
 2. If the regional organization fails to bring about a peaceful set- clement, then the World Security Council steps in.
 3. If the Security Council fails to settle it, or even should vote against stepping in, and aggression occurs, the principle of self defense operates. The regional system would step in in this hemisphere because of the agreement that an attack on one is an attack on all.

which could virtually wreck the new league before it's begins to breath. Those situations are:
 1. Existence of regional organiz- ations that would cut into the func- tioning of the World Security Coun- Gil. If the inter- American system is given complete autonomy, it would open the way to a series of similar regional organizations which would, an effect, nullify the authority of the security council.
 ?. Any move that would make the Latin Americans feel that the United States, now moving in more powerful global circles, has had any change of heart about the hemi- sphere, or that would reflect in any way on the sincerity of U. s. action at the recent Mexico City confer enee.
 3. Any step that would make the United States suspect of only play ing lip service to the ideal of a world organization and preparing to retire to hemispheric isolationism. Such feeling among the Western European nations, it is felt, would lead to further regional pacts which dn continental Europe would be dominated by the Soviet Union.
 When this conference started, there was no suspicion that crisis of such magnitude could arise over such 6 question. But the question really dates back to the Dumbarton Oaks Conferences last summer when the Big Four agreed that regional organizations could not take enforcement action in their spheres without approval of the World Security Council.
 American officials admit now that section. taken literally, went too far. It doesn't take into considera- ton the inherent right of each na- tion to self defense and, in the case of regional arrangements like in this hemisphere, right of regional self 6 defense.
 At the Mexico City conference in March, the United States and the Latin American countries agreed to continentalize the Monroe doctrine and write the Act of Chapultepec It recognized the principle that an attack against one member of the Western Hemisphere was an attack against all and pledged each to the use of force, if necessary, to put down aggression whether from within or without the hemisphere.
 American officials were confident at that time that there would be no trouble in making that act conform with the world organizations. But they did not anticipate the Latin American reaction to a Big Four amendment which granted a speci- fic exemption-and absolute auton- omy-to the bilateral treaties Rus sia has signed with European coun- tries to be used in case of future aggression by Germany or her Axis satellites. When that agreement was announced last Saturday, the Latin American lid blew off and the movement started to get the same sort of exemption for the Western Hemisphere's neWlv-cre-

 A surve yconducted by the Bureau of Highway Studies of the State Highway department, made in the fall of 1943, disclosed that about 13,00O vehicles pass the intersection daily, he stated.
 On cross-examination, the city engineer computed the yearly travel, based on the daily traffic figure, at 4,680,000 cars. He described it as "very heavy traffic" and said the city de partment had that in mind when 1t made its study before plan ming the stanchion. He said the real reason for erecting the standard was to safeguard the public.
 Earlier today Mrs. MacKeever testified she was asleep when the accident occurred, and did not be- come conscious until she was in the hospital. She denied, during the cross-examination, that anyone in the car had consumed alcoholic bev- erages during the evening.
 A defense attorney called upon 8 local policeman to rise in the court room, and asked Mrs. MacKeever if she remembered talking to him in his car after the accident. She said she did not. She also was asked if she remembered telling the patrol man, who was then in plainclothes, that there had been drinking. The witness replied the first person she saw after the accident was a doc- tor in the hospital, and she did not remember anything that happened prior to that time.
 The trial, which is conducted be- fore Judge John A. Cornell and a jury of l lwomen and one man, is expected to continue all week.
 Numerous city officials and police department members are among those who have been summoned to testify.

 Special efforts may be made to meet certain cases among Jewish refugees, he said, because of the altogether exceptional brutalities" they have suffered.
 But Britain will not differentiate in general between Jewish and non- Jewish refugees, he added.

Steno Tells Maxi Story
(Continued from Page 1)

From noon on there were con- ferences almost without interrup- tion. Paul Joseph Goebbels, as commander of the Berlin defense, rushed in and out of headquarters many times.
 Subordinate commanders re- ported in steady stream. Still no decision was made to remove us to the south
 lierrgeselle said the next day the Russian infantry began pressing steadily in toward the center of Berlin. One spearhead was moving along Prenzlauer Alice which ends at the Alexander Platz. Hitler'S special company of SS. escort men was sent to protect the chancellory from that direction.
 Various officers and government officials frantically rushed around trying to organize the remainder of the chancellory personnel into a VolkStrum unit" Herrgeselle said. Finally about 500 such persons were armed with pistols and rifles.
 'The first military conference that day was held between 12:15 and 1:45 p. m., but still no decision was made about leaving Berlin. But during the series of conference-I cannot remember how many because things became quite confused-it was ob- vious that things were critical.
 Officers and officials continu- ouSly streamed into the confer ence room in groups anywhere from three or four to maybe up to 30. During this period the first criti- cism was made of Hitler regard ing remaining in Berlin. But Hitler seemed slightly hay. He often failed to reply 70 questions. At other times he obviously was not paying any attention to questions.
 The big decision finally was made in . 15-minute conference begir- ming at 5:30 p. m. Those present were Hitler, Bormann, Keitel and Jodl. Hitler was dressed, as usual, in dark trousers, field gray jacket with the iron cross hanging from the left side and brown shirt that had white collar and cuffs. In recent days he had not looked so fit. His face was rather puffy and he flushed easily. He seemed to become more stopped daily and when he walked his shoulders gave the impression almost of being a hunchback. His left arm shook considerably. His right hand, where he was wounded in the July 70 explosion also shook"
 Herrgeselle said that steel door was closed for the 5:30 o'clock con- ference and then Hitler announced to Bormann, Keitel and Jodl: Tt 1g lost. I shall remain in Berlin. I eha1l fall here in the Reichschan- cellory."
 The conference, according to Herrgeselle, was confused and heat a. At times everybody except Jodl was talking at the same time 1u loud voices. Keitel and Bor- mann opposed Hitler's decision to stoy in the chancellory. Jodl appeared to be indifferent. Both Xeitel and Bormann, according to HerrReselle, told Hitler: My fueh- rer, that contradicts what you have t1llght us in past months" They referred to Hitler,s declaration that Ge would continue to fight so long 11 there was any German soil to <|E11t on.
 .Jodl. who earlier had been the culy oue who dared to tell Hitler fHe truth, was quiet throughout MQst q the conference" Herrgeselle e-id. Bormann and Keitel, how 1{<r, continued 10 try to persuade 4'<Icr 70 change his mind and go
