second thought a chance. After
a fire is once started, the fire de-

not eliminate the cause.
''President Truman proclaimed
this week Fire Prevention Week so
that facts about fire will be brought
to your attention. If each one of you
will take heed and observe Fire
Prevention week, you can sleep
better at night knowing that you
have protected your family by car

es of fire. You have read them
numbers of times, but most of you
Just read them and then forget
them. Is that fair to your family?
Remember, they always depend on
you for protection and guidance.
Chief Groom urged all to seri-
ously consider this message, and
to take action.
Help our city and country to re-
duce this enormous toll caused by
our common enemy-fire. Learn to
send in an alarm accurately and
without delay. Learn the fire de-
partment telephone number-4466.
Check your home and business and
eliminate the common causes of
fire. Don't wait until after the fire
starts and then say, 81 should have
done that yesterday"

week proclamation in which he urg-

CONFESSION READ

LUENEBURG, Germany, Oct. 6.
-tP-Josef Kramer, chief defen.
dant in the Belsen war crimes trial
listened ashen-faced today as the
prosecution read a signed state
ment in which Kramer told of send
ing women to their death by gas
at the Natzweiler concentration
camp.
The purported confession, obtain
ed by Commandant Jardin of the
French army, was presented by
Prosecutor T. M. Backhouse to
close the prosecution case against
the ''beast of Belsen'' and his staff
of A.
The document contained an adj
mission by Kramer that he knew OF
the mass murders at the camp he
commanded at Oswiecim, although
he declared the gas chamber there
was outside his jurisdiction.
Against the background of hor-
rors to which inmates of the camps
at Belsen and Oswiecim have testi-
fled in the three weeks since the
trial opened, was this declaration
in the statement:
81 have been told some of my SIS
staff were guilty of i'll treatment
and brutality toward prisoners. l

and would trust them absolutely.
"To the best of my belief they
never committed any offenses
against prisoners. regard myself
responsible for their conduct and
do not believe any of them would
have infringed my orders against
ill treatment or brutality"
Immediately after adjournment
Kramer's attorney, Maj. Thomas
Claude Winwood, and Kramer's
wife set out for Belsen - so miles
away across Lueneburg health - IN

inmates willing to testify next week
