The letter also said clothing and

formly excellent medical attention
is available to all Jewish people in

ing number of our centers, are be-

grams as well as schooling for

On the housing situation Gen.
Eisenhower said villages and towns
in the American zone of control in
Germany will be required to house
more than twice their normal popu-
lation this winter. While crowded
conditions were found in Jewish
centers in recent inspections, "in
nearly every instance more than the
80 square feet per person of floor
space required for our soldiers was
available" Gen Eisenhower said.
Families Being Reunited.
in conceding that improvement is
needed, Gen. Eisenhower said
schools need more books, leisure
time and welfare activities must be
further developed, paid employment
outside the centers must be fostered
and additional furniture, bedding
and fuel must be obtained.
Answering another criticism, he
declared, I'VE have made progress
in reuniting families, but postal
communications between displaced
persons and their relatives and
friends cannot yet be inaugurated.
In certain instances we have
fallen below standard" Gen. Eisen-
hover said, but I should like to
point out that a whole army has
been faced with the intricate prob
lens of readjusting from combat
to mass repatriation and then to
the present static phase, with its
unique welfare problems.
He emphasized that these prob
lens are recognized. I'VE are work.

WIESBADEN, Oct. 16. Alfons
Klein, former administrative head
OF the Hadamar insane asylum, and
two of his assistants were sentenced
to death by an American military
tribunal last night for the sys-
tematic murder Of more than 400
Russian and Polish inmates OF the
institution.
Long prison terms were imposed
on three other men and one woman
who were tried jointly with the
condemned trio.
Sentenced to death with Klein
were Heinrich Ruof and Karl Wi,iig,
asylum attendants, who admitted
administering lethal doses of NOR
phine to hundreds Of victims.
Adolf Wahlman, chief medical Of
ficer at the asylum, was sentenced
to life Imprisonment at hard labor.
Adolf Merkle, who admitted falsi-
flying death certificates to make it
appear the victims died of lung dis
eases, received a prison sentence OF
80 years, and Philip Blum, asylum
undertaken, was given 80 years.
Irmgard Huber, chief nurse, was
sentenced to Is years imprisonment.
The verdict by the six-man COM
mission headed by Col. John l..
Dicks climaxed a six-day trial dur
ing which 1t was brought out that

declared incurably insane had been
done to death at Hadamar prior

plan, outlined yesterday by Secre-
tary of the Treasury Vinson.
. This would mean:
Immediate repeal of the excess
profits tax, to stimulate reconver-
sion, instead of the House plan to
reduce it in 1916 and repeal it in
1e47
Relief for individuals by repeal of
the per cent normal tax, which
now applies to all income above $500,
regardless of dependents. This would
eliminate all income tax for 12,000,-
900 individuals. The House accom-
plished the same result by keeping
the normal tax, but allowing the
same $500 exemption for each de-
pendent which now applies to the
surtax. At the same time, however,
the House lowered the surtax rates
to give more relief to higher in
comes. The Treasury plan would
have limited relief in the upper
brackets to the benefit they would
get from repeal of the per cent
normal tax.
Senator Taft said before today's
hearing he thought Secretary Vim
son had worked out a pretty good
approach to this emergency one
year tax bill, which is to be followed
by a more thorough revision for
l947.
Il am in favor of getting rid of
the excreseences first, and not Just
handing out tax reductions to Ger
tain groups" said the Ohio Senator.
He explained he meant the elimina-
tion first of the abnormal taxes i'm
posed during the war. Both the ex-
cess profits levy and the 3 per cent
normal tax fall in that category,

against the atomic bomb. He said
that, SO far as he knew, reports last
week from the House Naval Affairs
Committee of a possible defense
were not based on Navy testimony.
Rear Admiral w. H. P. Blandy,
former chief of the Navy's Bureau
of Ordnance, expressed doubt that
any one conference.-the can be
effective against atomic bombs.
Il doubt if more than two or three
OF them will be made the same" he
testified.
Earlier, Secretary of the Navy For
restal told the committees the Gov
ernment should mot try to regiment
too much in carrying out a proposed
program of stimulating scientific re-
search.
Mr.. Forrestal's word of caution
came in reply to an inquiry by Sen
ator Magnuson, Democrat, of WASH
ington about the possibility of Gre
ating a scientific reserve of those
persons receiving Government aid in
their research.
Late on Radar Benefits.
The Secretary said these people
should be available in an emergency,
but he added that too strict regi-
mentation might scare some of the
lads off,"
Secretary Forrestal also cautioned
against the idea of trying to make
an invention perfect before it is ap-
piled to use.
I'VE were a little bit late getting
the benefits of radar," he said, be
cause we tried to get perfection
| first"
Mr.. Forrestal said he would prefer
to see military research dealt with
separately. But he accepted as proper
a provision for definite percentage
OF the total funds to be devoted to
that field.
Meanwhile, Senator Kilgore, Dem
ocrat, of West Virginia prepared to

Parents for Delinquency
Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press,
ANNAPOLIS, Md, Oct. 16.-Par-
entail delinquency in not providing
proper home ties for children was
cited yesterday as largely respon-
sible for juvenile crime by Chief
Judge Ridgely p. Melvin of the Fifth
Judicial Circuit of Maryland il his
charge to the grand jury in the Cir
cult Court of Anne Arundel County.
Judge Melvin asserted statistics
show that 80 per cent of crimes are
committed by juveniles and that
parental delinquency is responsible
for a situation becoming worse in
the postwar period.
The effort to cope with the prob
lem has assumed the proportions Of
a national fight, he said.

of the refugees with that of the
Nazis, Gen. Eisenhower said:
The assertion that our military
guards are now substituting for SIS
troops is definitely misleading. One
reason for limiting the numbers per-
mitted to leave our assembly centers
was depreciation and banditry by
displaced persons themselves. De-
spite all precautions more than 1000
of them died from drinking methy-
lated alcohol and other types of
poisonous liquor. Many others died
by violence or were injured while
circulating outside our assembly
centers."
Policy to Remove Victims.
The American commander also
told the President that at the time
of Mr.. Harrison's report there were
perhaps no more than 1000 Jews
still in the former concentration
camps and that these were too sick
to be moved.
No Jewish or other displaced
persons have been housed in these
places longer than was absolutely
necessary for medical quarantine
and recovery from acute Illness he
said. "It has always been our prac-
tice and not just our policy to re-
move these victims with the utmost
speed from concentration camps"
Gen. Eisenhower said II feel that
we have problems of shelter and
surveillance in hand" He added
that "of equal Importance is the
provision of sufficient and appetiz-
ing food"
In the past, he explained, 1000
caloric minimum diet was prescribed
for all displaced persons in ap-
proved centers. Field inspections,
his letters said, have shown that
IN many places this scale was con-
sistently exceeded, but there have
also been sporadic instances where

Atroeity Defense Denied
Riqht to Coll Law Expert

LUENEBURG, Oct. is R.-Coun-
sci for the As SIS guards on trial for
crimes at Belsen and Oswiecim con-
centration camps failed today in an
attempt to install an expert on in
ternational law to argue points of
the law during the proceedings.
Prosecutor Col. T. M. Backhouse
told the court, "We must have reg
ularity-the time has come to draw
the line" when the defense pro-
duced Prof. H. A. Smith OF London
University through whom it pro-
posed to argue that the charges
against the defendants represented
no offense against international law.
The court rejected the defense
motion after celebrating As minutes
and then suggested Prof. Smith
could make an address for the de-
Tending officers at the conclusion
of presentation of evidence, which
may take another two weeks.
Irma Grese, described as the most
brutal Of SIS women guards, testi-
fed for her life today after her
British counsel compared beatings
in German concentration camps to
those in North Carolina.
"The United States of America
cannot be disputed as a leader of
civilization" Maj. L. S. w. Gran
field said. He then read a descrip-
ton from book of floggings in a
North Carolina convict camp.
These events were judged as
crimes" Maj. Cranfield said. MY
argument is that (condemning of
corporal punishment in a prison
camp is not a proper course for 2
judicial body to take. The court
must consider what was reasonable
conduct of the persons involved
these are not unknown horrors"

Ey the Associates Press,
PONTIAC, Mich, Oct. 16.-Louis
v. Thompson, wealthy Detroit auto
mobile dealer and his former secre-
tary underwent police questioning
again today as authorities pressed
for break In the mutilation mur-
der of his estranged wife, Mrs. Lydia
Thompson, Al.
Sheriff Edward K. Thomas of
Oakland County emphasized that no
charge has been placed against
either the 46-year-old Thompson or
the secretary, Mrs. Helen Budnik,
but expressed hope they might be
able to "furnishe lead" that would
help solve the staying.
Law officers of Wayne and Oak
land Counties joined in thorough
investigation of the movements of
the victim, who had resided in her
luxurious 100000 summer home at
Orchard Lake since she and Thomp-
son separated three months ago.
Victim Born In Russia.
Police admitted they had encoun-
tered many blind alleys in tracing
the activities of the Russian born
laundry owner whose body was
found Saturday in a wooded area, IL
miles west of Pontiac and near her
Orchard Lake home.
Thompson, who told police he met
his wife and married in Constanti-
nople, Turkey, % years ago while
he was serving In the British Army,
admitted to Prosecutor Donald Nog.
gle he saw Mrs. Thompson last
Wednesday, the day before she was
slain, according to medical reports.
The well-to-do business man and
Mrs. Budnik, his former employe,
declared frankly that Mrs. Thomp-
son had resented their friendship.
Mrs. Budnik told Prosecutor Nog-
gle that she left Thompson's employ
two years ago "to get away from
him" and that she had told him on
occasion, you've got a loyal wife;
why don't you go home to herr"
At Party With Thompson.
She admitted being in Thomp-
sons company at a party Friday
night, "a hours after the time of
the murder was fixed by autopsy
reports.
Thompson was visibly upset when
authorities had him identify his
wife's body Monday and exclaimed
isn't it terrible? Some maniac
did that and I wish I knew who
did it,
Detective 1t. Orneldo Utley Of
Highland Park said Thompson had
informed him that he and his wife
"just couldn't get along and that
she objected to his frequent golf
games and other absences from
home. The couple was childless.

were to be exempted from the law,

ure would be necessary.
Parking Law Is Urged.
The committee also unanimously
urged passage of bill by Chairman
Randolph to require that off street
parking facilities be provided for be-
tween 10 and 20 per cent of the per-
sons to be employed in any Gov
ernment building hereafter erected
in the District.
This measure, considered in
earlier sessions of Congress, was re-
introduced recently when protests
arose over lack of sufficient Off
street parking in downtown Wash
ington. which became apparent with
the lifting of gas rationing.
Other bills reported favorably to-
day by the committee would:
Amend the charter of Providence
Hospital to permit it to expand it's
plant. This measure was passed re-
Gently by the Senate.
Protection for Property Owners.
Provide that the District must pay
property owner court costs If it
orders condemnation proceedings to
take private property for public use
and later abandons the plan. James
c. Wilkes reported the District Bar
Association favored the bill.
Amend the District tax exemption
law to provide that where a por-
ton or'a all of an exempt property is
made available rent free to a Gov
ernment agency, tax exemption
shall still prevail. This was recon-
by Navy Secretary Forrestal
whose department had been granted
the use of portion of the property
of the American Red Cross.
Chairman Randolph took the oc-
casion to note in the committee rec
ords a letter he had written to
Truman praising his Sc
lection of Corporation Counsel Rich
mond B. Keech to be an administra-
tive aid to the president. He also
commended the Commissioners for
of Vernon z. West to
succeed Mr.. Keech as corporation
counsel.

Cooper Urges Public
To Demand Guarantee
On Freedom Of Press
Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
BOSTON, Oct. 16.-Calling atten-
ton to tendencies toward Govern
ment control of radio, press and
motion pictures, Kent Cooper, exec
utive director of the Associated
Press, today urged the public to de-
mand Of those in power a guaran-
tee that freedom of the press will
be extended throughout the world.
Speaking at the 17th annual Bos-
ton Conference on Distribution, Mr..
Cooper asserted that press freedom
everywhere is essential for the fu-
ture welfare of mankind" and that
a universal free press "can develop
into the worlds antidote for the
employment Of the atomic bomb"
The conference also heard a
warning from three economists to
businessmen to expect higher prices
for manufactured goods in the next
year or so because of the combined
pressure of domestic and foreign
demand.
Mr.. Cooper referred briefly to the
recent Government antitrust suit
against the Associated Press with
the observation that "the cause of
truthful international news ex-
change and the right to print it in
every land greatly transcends
anything that can happen to the
Associated Press"
1T is obvious, as in the case of
radio" he said, that the powers
now in the hands of the admins
tration are of fundamental and far
reaching Importance and that they
are definitely not based on any ex-
pressed grant by Congress.
The economists who spoke were:
w. w. Cumberland, a partner of
Ladenburg, Thalman g. Co.: DR..
Lewis H. Haney, professor of eco
nomics of New York University's
graduate school of economics, and
DR.. Gottfried Haberler, professor of
economics at Harvard University.
