Reds Still Uncertain
Body Is GoebbeIs'
Ry the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, May 16.-The Russians
continued today to examine closely
the bodies of Nazis found in the
underground city discovered in Ber-
lin, but there was no official an
nouncement that the corpse of
either Hitler or his Propaganda
Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels had
been identified.
OF six bodies found in the Reichs-
chancellery, four have been de-
clared definitely as not being the
Fuehrer A meticulous recheck is
taking place on the other two.
The Russians are leaning more
and more to the idea that the Nazis
might have planned some gigantic
hoax in reporting the death of
Hitler in Berlin, and all military
men have been asked to exercise
the greatest diligence in the identi-
flcation of dead Nazis.
At any rate the Russians want to
be absolutely sure of any identif1-
cation of the bodies of either Hitler
or Goebbels, and will make no Off
cial declaration until they are con-
vinced beyOnd doubt.

Representative Pickett, Democrat,

based charges against the veterans
agency on "hearsay evidence" W
Mr. Philbin, whose resolution
brought about the investigation and
who was the first witness, was met
by demands from committeeman
that he submit specific evidence"
instead of general charges that vet
Grams are victims OF poor admins
tration and mistreatment.
Mr.. Philbin said it is the COM
mittee's job to get the facts by di-
rect inquiry at veterans facilities.
When committee members insist
ed that he be specific in citing COM
plants by veterans, he submitted a
