By George f. McCray

feat the new fair practice law, ar
gued that education is the best way
to rid the country of nationality
race, and religious prejudices. These
objections were ignored. Fortu-
nately these business groups did not
know that the various conventions
of the American Federation of La
Dor had worn the education argu-
ment thin. And the friends of the
little FEPC bill found little trouble
in disposing Of the let-education-
do-it subterfuge.
In itself education as a means of
building better interracial relations
in industry as we'll as in politics, re-
ligon, sports, unions, and elsewhere
is fundamentally sound. But the ed
ucation argument is often used dis
honestly; usually as an excuse to
prevent anybody from doing any
thing effective to stop discrimina-
ton against workers because of
their race, nationality, and religion.
With the biggest racial, nationality
and religious problems in the world
we still have no program for unity
ing the nation.
This do-nothing strategy is re-
vealed by the fact that the very same
men who bitterly denounce A. P.
Randolph in AFL conventions who
fight the FEPC in Washington; and
who fought the New York law,
never suggest a method for doing
the educating which most of them
admit needs to be done. But that is
not the half of it. Some of those
same individuals actually sabotage.

educational efforts of others.

|Irma Grese' S Cruelty
To Captiyes in Camps
Is Denied by Kramer
Ry the Associated Press.

Ry the Associated Press.
LUENEBURG, Germany, Oct. g.
Josef Kramer, testifying for himself
and those who served under him at
two Nazi concentration camps, today
denied that he mistreated prisoners
and asserted blond Irma Grese,
often called "the worst of the SIS
women" took her duties very seri-
ously and discharged them very
we'll"
Before the British military court
trying him and A other camp
guards and officials, the Belsen and
Oswiecim commandant said the
statements of prosecution witnesses
that he beat and kicked Russian
prisoners and shot and killed two
Hungarions were false.
During all my service with con-
centration camps and with troops"
he said, II never shot at people, in
tentionally or otherwise"
Counsel for the 2l-year-old Irma
Grese asked him about stories that
she shot prisoners and treated them
with savage cruelty"
That Is untrue" Kramer replied
Charges Denied.
He also denied prosecution charges
that she set dogs on prisoners, add
ing:
"As her commanding officer, I can
only say about Grese that she took
her duties very seriously and dis
charged them very well indeed"
Direct examination brought out
that Kramer felt that the British,
who liberated the big Belsen camp
in April, had violated the terms
of the truce under which Belsen was
turned over to them.
Asserting he was kept manacle0
day and night, the camp COM
mandant said:
I'm this court it has been said
that I violated the terms of the
truce by failing to disarm my staff.
But I was told that we not only
would be allowed to take our arms
when we left but could carry them
in camp also"
Predicted Trouble.
He said he had predicted trouble
among the prisoners when a loud
speaker announcement was made
about the camps liberation and
added: "One food store was looted,
British tanks had to guard other
stores, British troops had to use fire.
arms to keep order, and the next
morning several people were found
dead" Other witnesses previously
lad testified that the liberation pro-
duced no trouble.
Earlier, Kramer said his superiors
were still shipping thousands of
prisoners into Belsen, despite his
repeated appeals for evacuation
orders, when the advancing British
Army was less than 30 miles away.
A reply finally came saying his
appeal was not understood, because
Heinrich Himmler had just routed
10000 more prisoners to the camp.
