he had never been Hitlers doc

Hitler had no morals, no
knowledge of good or bad, right
or wrong" DR.. Sauerbruch told
me. ION the other hand he had
a flair for people and knew with.

what they would do for him.
He also had a strong hypnotic
influence. But Goebbels was in
finitely more intelligent and was

lently disapproved of the So
called "mercy-killings' and said
he hopes that all Nazi doctors

the minority victims of Nazi
bestiality-will be spe d lily

Betsy, no longer lazy. barked ex-

mournful howl and tipped back
under his house. All that could
be seen of a quick brown fox
was a long nose and frightened

Vincennes explained the foxes

not join the Nazi party.
! While il is obvious that to-
day no mans denial of Nazi ac-
tivity can be taken at face value,
DR.. Sauerbrueh's- statement is
given certain credence by the
fact that the Russians. on Mar
shall Zhukov's personal insis-
tence, placed him at the head of
the Berlin Health Service in the
new city regime installed by the
Russians.
II didn't seek the job" the
doctor said. I'm terribly over
burdened already" This is I'M
doubtedly true since he is one
of Germany's most famous ply
sicians. Despite his 20 years he
is still spry and lean, with an
extraordinary intelligent face.
He took on the job Tin addition
10 the fact that the Russians
ordered him to- because II
wanted 10 help my fellow Ger
mans who needed doctors more
than ever" He went on to ex-
plain that during and after the
battle Of Berlin there was an
Undesirable medical mixup.
Most of the important Nazi
physicians, including the fueher
of doctors, fled.
DESTROYED STATISTICS
DR.. Sauerbruch told me that
he hasn't any idea as TO the ex-
tent of German losses. since the
Nazis destroyed all statistics. He
believed that casualties were
higher than any estimates he
had seen. During the last 10
days Of the Berlin battle he
said. 81 alone treate 2743
wounded
In discussing the general state
of health in Germany today, DR..
Sauerbruch turned very serious.
Look at them in the streets to-
day" he said. They have been
underfed for six years" He al
so said that the hospitals them
selves were lacking many Of the
essential medical supplies. His
own Berlin hospital hasn't had
any bandages for more than
week and has almost no medical
alcohol left.
"There is still grave danger of
epidemicS in Berlin he said in
conclusion. Imagine how many
dead bodies there must be slow
~ decaying, buried under the
ruins of hte city. Thank God for
the rain of the last few days of
the battle for Berlin. 1t did away
with the flies who might have
started epidemics on an unheard

passed yet.
what will happen this winter

Excessive Rainfall
Brings on Mosquitoes

Excessive rainfall during the last
month has created many breeding
places for mosquitoes and unless
they are eliminated there viii be
a marked increase in their number,
Acting Health Oficer George C.
Ruhland announced today.
Ponds and pools have been formed,
Easements flooded, roof cutters
clogged and window wells filed with
water, any one of which may now
breed mosquitoes, DR.. Seckinger
said. Standing water on private
property Is the responsibility OF the
owner, he added.
4 The Health Department, DR..
Seckinger said, does not have the
personnel to inspect property regu-
larly and does not take the re-
sponsibility for eliminating mos
quito-breeding places on private
property.
DR.. Seckinger advised property
owners to drain of standing water
If possible. He said roof cutters
and window wells should be clb ned
out and all receptacles should be
.emptied and turned upside down.
Standing water which cannot be
drained should be oiled every 10
days.

WLB Begins Inquiry
Of Labor Pirating'
In Building Trades

The War Labor Board today be-
gan investigating charges made by
the Washington Home Builders
Association that some contractors
and builders here are engaging in
labor pirating" by offering wages
above the accepted scales.
N. c. Hines, executive director OF
the association, asked for immediate
action at a. WLB hearing yesterday
declaring that the raiding Of work.
ers threatened to wreck the entire
building program in the Washington
area.
He charged "a few chiseling con-
tractors" were offering bricklayers
several dollars above the $14 daily
union scale to lure the men away
from builders who are adhering to
the regular scale.
violators' Names Requested.
Replying to his demand for i'm
mediate action to bring violators in
line, Michael Edelman, chief en-
forcement attorney for the Third
Regional WLB, said investigators
would start work today. Mr.. Edel-
man asked the contractors present
to- submit the names of known
violators.
Mr.. Edelman said those found
violating the wage scale were liable
to criminal prosecution under pro-
visions Of the Wage Sterilization
Act of 1912.
The plight of contractors paying
regular wage scales was stated by
Anthony Izzo, a contractor here,
who said 1t was becoming ''im-
possible" to hire bricklayers and
other employees in the building
trades at the regular wage rates.
Travel Expenses" Cited.
"We want you to put an end to
this chiseling," he told Mr.. Edel-
man. "We can pay as high as our
competitors. but we want to stick
to the law"
Some contractors were charged
with paying bonuses of So or $4 q
day to laborers. Others offered
several dollars travelling expenses
to men working on projects several
miles out of the city.
Mr.. Hines and other contractors
present said bricklayers might be
underpaid at present. II this Is the
case, Mr.. Hines said, the WLB
should approve a raise for the men

would be able to pay the higher
rates without violating the Sta
bilization Act.
Mr.. Hines added that the associa-
ton has no quarrel with the various
building unions. ITS just the
chiseling contractors that we're
after" he said. :
