Cor Priorities
 Will Be Lifted

Chicago, June 12(UP)-Gov- ernment priorities on civilian pas senger automobiles will be lifted next January, according to Henry P. Nelson, War Production Board reconversion coordinator for the automobile industry.
 That will not mean that buyers can walk into showroom and pick a car of the floor, however, he cautioned. Although WIPE controls of civilian car purchases will be dropped, some form of informal ra- tioning will be continued by man. ufacturers and dealers, he said.
 At the same time, Nelson said the prospective civilian steel supply had improved greatly in the past 60 days. He said the prospect for free steel" now appears to be three times greater than on April l.

is given. About p report the need of from one week to four weeks; two report the need of from four to eight weeks and two expect over eight weeks requirement.
 It is further estimated by. the NAM survey that about 73,800 em- ployes of the states industries will be unemployed for a period of one day to four weeks during the recon version period: about 17,0o0 will be unemployed from eight to twelve weeks and about 600 from four to eight weeks, or total of 91 400 for the state.
 Affected Indirectly
 In its survey the NAM further states relative to Connecticut:
 "In addition to temporary unem- ployment directly due to reconver- sion the survey indicates a decline of 17,860 employees in 35 plants hay ing no reconversion problems but affected indirectly by the reconver- sion of others, etc. This might be in- cluded in the 10000 to 10000 work CTS estimated for the state. who may be shifting back to non-manufac- turing industries, construction, farming, etc.. or returning to home duties or going back to school. After the entire transition is completed, there will be about 91 500 more jobs in manufacturing than pre-war as indicated in Table l."
 A similar survey for the entire na- tion was made by the NAM in March of this year which showed an anticipated increase for industrial employees of the nation of a peak of 4,400,0 ,000. In 1889 the manufactur- ing industry employed 10,6oO,o0o persons to which, the NAM report states, will be added another B. 100000 or 4,400,O0O after the war necessary for peace-time produc- tion.
 Giving encouragement to the na- tional plea for 60 million jobs is the report of the NAM which states, in part:
 Manufacturing normally em- ploys about 25 per cent of the total working force of the nation. Should the other elements of our economy be able to make similar increases in employment we would have about 56,000,0 ,000 individuals working in our stores, on our farms, in the various services, in local, state and federal governments, and in the other activities that make up our nation al life. This volume of employment must necessarily depend upon a fav- orable economic climate, upon how quickly the government lifts its ban on reconversion, and upon na- tional confidence shared by all ele- mentS of our society"

Hitler To Return Soys Nozi Radio

12th Army Headquarters, Ger many, June 12-(UP)-A Nazi radio operating in the Weissenburg area fsouthern Germany was revealed today to be broadcasting to the German people:
 Hitler will return! Germany will save herself!'
 American military intelligence agents were endeavoring to trace the Clandestine station. Weissen- burg lies north of Augsburg.
 The Germans have reported that Adolf Hitler was killed in Berlin, but Marshal Gregory K. Zhukov, commander of Russian occupation forces, said the Soviets have been unable to identify any body def initely as that of Hitler.

Truman OK $ Salary Raise

Washington, June 12-(UP)- President Truman today advocated an immediate salary rise for mena- bers of congress consistent with the Little Steel formula of wage stab- ilization, which would limit the irl- crease to $500 annually.
 In a letter to House Speaker Sam Rayburn, D., Tex, and Senate Pres ident Kenneth D. McKellar, D., Tenn, the president said that once government salary controls are lifted, congressional salaries should be increased to at least $l5,000.
 The house already has voted it. self an annual expense account" of $2,50O. MT. Truman said last week that while he thought con- gress should take more direct ap- proach than this to increase its in- come, he would not disapprove such a measure.
 "The salaries of the members of congress should be increased to a level more in line with the job they are called upon to do," the presi- dents letter said.
 Tt will not be possible or wise to do this all at once. The adjust ment of congressional salaries at present should be in the full amount consistent with the Little Steel formula and other stabliza- tion criteria by which the govern ment controls salaries and wages in private industry"
 The president said house and sen- ate members are underpaid now.
 Admitting that what he regarded as equality between their pay and their jobs may never be achieved the president expressed the belief that something should be done tc eliminate this inequity as far as possible.
 He listed the diverse duties anc responsibilities of members of con- gress, saying that the house anc senate now face important decisions on such problems as the interna. tional monetary structure, foreign trade policy, economic stabilization tax policy, war appropriations ant the full employment program. He observed that no business firm would attempt to hire flight ex. ecutives to handle any of these problems at pay scale unde which members of congress worked

German Communists
 Seem Non-Existent

By 1909. he said, the Centra party organization was gone and the members were operating as ir1- dividual units, living in constant fear of arrest.
 About all they were able to do from then on, he explained, was to listen to foreign broadcasts, chiefly the BEG and Paris radio, and spread their news by word of mouth or in tiny pamphlets.
 Even so, the gestapo constantly made new arrests. Many of our people lost their heads simply for circulating leaflets. Those who were known as former Communists were watched ceaselessly by the police and any false move resulted in cer- tain arrest"
 Krueger was sent to German-oc- cupied Russia as a building fore man in 1942, and there he suc- ceeded in making discreet contact with Russian partisan agents. He said many German soldiers on the eastern front listened to the par tisar1 broadcasts and were influ- enced by their propaganda, partic- ulsrly after the Nazi defeat at Stalingrad.
 Since the collapse of Germany, Krueger said, surviving Communists have been unable to get together, because of the Allied ban on poli- tical activities.
 He predicted, however, that when the ban is lifted the Communists probably will seek an alliance with other anti-Nazis factions to form an "anti-fascist front"

 ED NOTE-This is the first of q series of reports on Waterbury's reconversion and production cut
 back problems, as prepared by
 The Democrat with the assistance of various agencies.
 Waterburys postwar employment level is still, at very best, a rough estimate, if 1t can be given that much uthoritativeness. At this early stage of reconversion it can- not be adequately determined and any estimates are subject to radical change one way or the other.
 This was told to this writer of The Democrat today.
 Among the big-three of the city's industries the picture is yet vague one, although no one, more than these manufacturers, would rather nave 1t a positive one at this time
 Give us crystal-ball," one rep resentative told this writer" and we might be able to figure out the future
 NAM. StatlStlcS
 According to statistics compiled LJ the National Association of Manufacturers, the postwar em- ployment in the state will be 91 1000 over the estimated pre-war level of 233,500 industrial workers, and 114,- 600 less than the war peak employ ment of 59,540.
 In Waterbury the picture is some what cratic. The American Brass Co.,, reports a slight anticipated in- crease with postwar employment for the Waterbury branches run ming about 4,250 as compared to the pre-war level of 3,9OO, or so. Peak employment during this war reached about the $500 mark.

Wiesbaden, Germany, June 12.- UY)-The once ce-powerful German Communist party is practically non- existent after l2 years of ruthless suppression by the NaZi gestapo leading Rhineland Communists said today.
 Heinrich Himmler's gestapo agents, these leaders said, smashed the party organization completely and by the outbreak of the war had succeeded in eliminating all but a tiny fraction of the Con- munist underground.
 They disclosed that most of the top-ranking Communists in Ger many were either thrown into con- centration camps or killed outright, including the famous Ernst Thael- mann who is said to have been slaughtered by Nazi guards at the Buchenwald camp on Aug. 19, 1914.
 Subsequently, the Nazis announc- ed that the Communists chieftain was killed in an Allied air raid.
 How the NaZis destroyed what once was Germany's second largest political party was disclosed in de- tail by one of the few surviving Communist leaders in the Rhine land, Paul Krueger, former Com munist member of the Wiesbaden city council.
 Krueger, now 45, is short, frail- appearing technician employed by a construction firm after his release from four years of internment in Himnler's concentration pens. He had little hope for an early re- vival of the party in this area, once one of the principal strongholds of German Communism.
 Our fatal mistake was that, like the rest of the world, We did not take the Nazis seriously enough at the beginning" he said. we thought them stupid.
 By the time we realized their fearful ruthlessness. their determ- ination to wipe out all left-wing op- position in Germany, it was too late. Our leaders were all in con- centration camps or dead. Our party organization was smashed"
 Krueger said the gestapo moved against the Communists just before the 1883 elections that swept Hitler into power. The blood purge con- tinued without let-up even after the Communists went underground and their cells were reduced to a few men able only to issue propa- ganda leaflets or carry out minor sabotage.
 Gestapo agents even checked sales of paper to trace the authors of the Communist propaganda, un- til the Reds finally were reduced to printing their pamphlets on wrap- ping paper.
 Himmler'S men even infiltrated the Communist party cells to ex- pose and destroy them, Krueger said, recalling bitterly that many gestapo agents were former Communists who were released from jail to betray their comrades.
 He acknowledged that the Con- munists tried similar infiltration tactics on the Nazs in the early days, but with little success.
 Regarding the failure of German opposition groups to rebel against the Nazi regime before and during the war, Krueger said:
 'The Nazis' organization was so tight and efficient that opportun- ities for sabotage or anti-Nazi pro- paganda were almost nonresident" |" he said.
 By the end of 1888, the Com munist party had been decimated, had lost all it's higher-up leaders. and was AnaaEep un"

Neus or Connecticut

Hartford, Conn, June 12.-(UP) A survey of the National Assocla- tion of Manufacturers indicated to- day that 39 per cent more work CTS will be employed in Connecticut industries after the war than before Pearl Harbor and that 97 per cent of industries could completely re- convert to civilian production within eight weeks.
 The survey stated that whereas there were 233,5OO wokrers in 1889, this number would be increased to 325 ,OOO in the postwar period. It also showed that 57 per cent of industries would not require any time for reconversion inasmuch as they are turning out products need ed in peace time; that another 37 per cent will need from one day to four weeks for the change-over, while only thre eper cent would need as much as two months.
 As for employment, the survey forecast that only three per cent of factories would employ less work CTS after the war, eight per cent
 would continue as at present, while
 89 per cent planned an increase ill
 jobs.
 The period of unemployment when the war ends, according to estimates, will be relatively brief. It is figured that about 91,400 work CTS will be out of work less than four weeks, and about 17,600 more than thatt inc. Within three months all should be back at work, the survey stated. It was antici- pated that most married women would return to housework, and that thousands of men would re- turn to farms or other pursuits in which they were engaged before the war, leaving many job open ings for returning veterans. Wethersfield, Conn, June 12.- (UP)-The Board of Pardons today commuted to life imprisonment the death sentence of Robert Rossi, 27, but refused clemency to his brother, Nicholas, who will be electrocuted June 1s for the staying of Mrs. He'd veg Wegner at Plainville. in Sep tember, 1943.
 The Negro brothers both were indicted on first degree murder charges early in l943, but only Nicholas was convicted. Robert was found guilty of robbery and sen fenced to five to seven years in prison. The state appealed and won a new trial which resulted in his conviction and sentencing to death. Public Defender R. L. Gi- don urged clemency for Robert, de- claring he was dominated by his older brother.
