5000 Reds Executed
AT Dachau, Court Told
BY the Associated Press.


DACHAU, Germany, Nov. ia
former inmate of the Dachau con-
centration camp told an American
military court today that 5000 Rus
sian prisoners of war were executed
en- masse there.
He pointed an accusing finger at
4 of the 40 defendants and named
them as perpetrators of the atroci-
ties he recited.
DR.. Franz Blaha, political pris-
oner at Dachu, near Munich, from
1941 to 1915, told of castings, pain
full medical experiments, beatings,
starvings, lashings and torture.
DR.. Blaha's recital Of the tortures
caused emotion even among the
eight American Army officers trying
the case. The courtroom audience
echoed with audible gasps as Blaha
demonstrated in torturous poses
some of the cruelties.
He told of experiments in which
prisoners were immersed in ice water
as long as 38 hours while blood
was drawn periodically from the
necks of the victims for examination.
The Nazis carried out a planned
scheme of determination" at the
Dachau concentration camp, the
prosecution declared yesterday at
the opening of the trial.
Col. David Chavez, jr., of Santa
Fe. N. Mex, drew protests from the
defense because of his graphic de-
scription of conditions found in the
camp when American troops hber-
ated the area last April.

. Arguments that Germany was de-

One of the major contributing fac

Gen. Eisenhower estimated the

Gen. Eisenhower strongly sun

Atomic Experts Ask
Truman 10 Call Reds,
British 10 Conference

President Truman was urged to-
| day to issue immediate invitations
to the British and Soviet govern
ments to confer on measures for the
international control of atomic en-
ergy. The request was made in a
petition said to bear the indorse-
ment Of more than 80 per cent of
the scientists who worked on the
atomic bomb project.
Spokesman for the group told
newsmen today that for the first
time in history scientists have come
forward in a united effort to share
social responsibility for their handi-
work. There is surprising unity, it
was said, on the question that no
nation can monopolize the secret,
and no nation should seek to make
it a tool of foreign policy.
Supports 3-Power Plan.
DR.. j. H. Rush, Oak Ridge, Tenn,
physicist, told reporters at a con-
ference in the Office of Representa-
tive Helen Gahagan Douglas, Demo-
crat, of California that the resolu-
ton supporting the request for an
immediate conference neither criti-
cizes, contradicts nor conflicts" but
seeks to supplement the joint state
ment on atomic policy issued yes
terday by President Truman and
Prime Minister Attlee.
In answer to question, DR.. Rush
said the scientists did not wish to
commit themselves on whether full
information on the project should
be turned over to Russia immedi-
ately as basis for discussion at
the proposed conference He said
this was a political detail better
left to the conferees, and expressed
the hope that Russia would accept an
invitation to discuss atomic energy
control before she has full informa-
ton on the secret process.
A resolution similar to the petit
ton of the scientists was ito have
been introduced in the House yes
terday by Representative Douglas,
who deferred this action until she
could study yesterdays joint decla-
ration by President Truman and
Prime Minister Attlee.
Bears 1000 Signatures.
The petition bore the signatures
Of more than 1900 of the approx
mately $500 experts who worked
in the project in various parts of
the country, including Oak Ridge,
ChicAon Nou, vorE DI,i1o a. Jnb;o
Los Alamos, Calf, and Cambridge,
Mass.
DR.. Rush was accompanied to the
press conference here by DR.. Francis
T. Bonner, physical chemist of New
York. The spokesman explained the
petition represented weeks of study
and earnest discussion on the part
Of the men who created the worlds
most destructive weapon.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1945-11-16

that Is inevitable where independent
departments, at different times COM
pete before separate congressional
committees. With Indignation we
can buy more security for less money.
Without 1t we will spend more money
and obtain less security.
8. One of the most important and
least understood factors in modern
war is that it is essentially a mat
ter Of perfected teamwork. Per-
fected teamwork results as much
from friendly association over a pc
Rod of years as it does from the
more obvious reasons of combined
tactical training and doctrine. BY
unification at the top we emphasize
to our soldiers, sailors and airmen
the essential truth that each wears
the uniform of the Nations fighting
forces and that his natural friends
and trusted associates are the others
who wear that uniform, regardless
of its color or design.
9. Finally, there is no such thing
as a separate land, sea or air war;
therefore, we must now recognize
this fact by establishing a single de-
partment of the armed forces.

Food Reported Seized
By Hokkaido laps on
Two Successive Days
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
TOKYO, Nov. 16.-Twenty-
three hundred hungry residents
of Hokkaido, northernmost Jap
anese home island, seized food
from farmers, storehouses and
mills on two successive days, the
newspaper Asahi reported today.
Some of them left money in pay
ment.
The food rioters split into small
bands for their forays, the news
paper said. Miners of shigejiri and
Akshira districts paid for the food
they seized in a 1,00o-person raid
November IS. Similar raids by
groups totalling 1900 persons oc-
CURED next day, Asahi said.
$4,000 Pounds Of Food Seized.
Nineteen thousand pounds of
milled foods were seized.
Sixty policemen have been as
signed to guard the vicinity and
civilians Joined to form a volunteer
defense corps.
The rioting was the first reported
for many weeks, but government
spokesman here are openly con-
cerned over the possibility of vio-
lence in the foodless, fuelless winter
ahead.
The government already has ap-
pealed to farmers to sell their pro-
duce at legal prices, but the lure of
black-market profits is strong.
Jap Control Collapses.
The japanese government today
admitted its control over the sale
of fresh vegetables and fish was in
"a state of complete collapse" and
Allied headquarters Immediately or
dered into operation the japanese
plan to abolish price controls on
perishables.
This is expected to increase prices
beyond the current ceilings but keep
them under black market prices.
1t also should result in substantial
gains in perishable foods for city
jewellers who have been unable to
obtain vegetables.
Meanwhile, there were growing
indications that American-prompt-
ed political changes are forcing
careful, detailed converse tons with
in the palace clique; that the highly
influential lord keeper of the privy
seal, Marquis Koichi KIDD, may re-
sign next Tuesday, and that former
Premier Fumimaro Konoye may
have his constitutional revision plan

President Clark Griffith and Sec

CHICAGO, Dec. 8.-The Big Ten
acted today to return to peace time
athletic standards generally by 1947
with the final crop of freshmen on
varsity squads scheduled next fall.
The 50-year-old conference voted
to limit competition to maximum
of four years, including one year
under the leagues emergency code
which became effective in February,
l943.
1t also ruled Immediately ineligible
athletes who completed three years
of varsity competition before the
emergency legislation was enacted.
Conference officials were unable to
guage the effect of this directive, but
it was likely some 1945-46 basketball
squads would be hit.
In restoring the freshman rule, or
one-year residence requirement, the
conference specified that freshmen
who enroll next fall will be eligible
Immediately for varsity competition
and may compete four years. But
thereafter, new men must be en-
rolled year to become eligible.
For Ex-Servicemen.
They also ruled that ex-military
trainees who competed at two diff
ferent conference schools might re-
turn to their original institutions
next fall and become eligible i'm
mediately.
II such transfer is delayed until
after the start of the 1916 school
year, the ex-trainees will be eligible
