More than $4,000, 900 worth of
diamonds-largely government own
ed and many of them obtained
through deception of the japanese
people-were discovered today In

rich find, millions of dollars worth
of gold and silver bullion began
moving in 2la ton American Army
trucks under armed escort from the
bomb battered government mint to
the Bank of Japan.
Allies officers found l03 tons OF
silver bars, which they valued at
about s2,000,0O0, stacked carefully

Many of the diamonds had beer

of the diamonds never were used
for that purpose. Possibly the gems
were intended for use as trading
material with Germany and other
nations had the war continued.

The Advanced Gifts Unit called
a luncheon at the willard Hotel
today with hopes of passing the
81 ,000, 900 mark. It previously had
reported donations of $673 ,694, or rs
per cent of its 81 200 900 quota. One
of its most recent gifts is for $2l 500
from the Mellon Foundation.
Joshua Evans, in charge of Ma

wired 100 national firms from San
Francisco to New York, renewing
requests for gifts to the campaign.
Mrs. r. Wallace McClenahah

5,70O,000 slain Jews were ac-
counted for in the other refer
ences to mass murders, which
made the approximate 100000
total) T @5
This annihilation of the Jews was
an official state policy designed
to implement the master race
theory of the Nazis, says the in
dictment, and certain of the de-
PENDANTS openly avowed their inten-
tions, as follows:
Robert Ley, leader of the Ger
man labor front and a Reichs-
letter We swear we are not going
to abandon the struggle until the
last Jew in Europe has been ex-
terminated and Is actually dead"
Julius Streicher, general of the
state police and Jew baiter-"The
sun will not shine on the nations
of the earth until the last Jew Is
dead"
Hitler Not Named Defendant.
The Indictment lists only the
names of major Nazis in the hands
of the Allies and ready for trial
it does not include the name of
Hitler as defendant. Whether
this is in accordance with the legal
form agreed on by the court or
whether it reflects official belief
that Hitler is dead was not imme-
diately clear. Under usual criminal
law practice, man may be indicted
even when not in custody, or a
John Doe" provision made to cover
the possibility of his future appre-
henSion.
Along with Goering, at one time
successor designate to Hitler, are
indicted men whose names made
news in European capitals during
and long before World War II.
Some, like Goering, are named on
all four counts; others, like Franz
Won Papen, who became Hitler's
Ambassador, face only some of the
counts.
Gustav Krupp Won Bohlen und
Halbach, head of the great steel
and armament works and president
of the Reich Union of German In
dustry. is indicted on all four counts
So is Rudolph Hess, the black
browed Nazi overload who few to
England with negotiated peace
offer and thereupon became a
prisoner.
Indictment Of Organizations.
The organizations indicted include
the general staff and high COM
mand of the German armed forces
consisting of the individuals who
commanded the Wehmacht, the
army, the navy and the air force
between February, 1888, and May,
1945.
Four members of this high COM
mand also are listed in individual
indictments: Field Marshal Will
helm Keitel, chief of the high COM
mand of the German armed forces:
Maj. Gen. Alfred Jodl, chief of
staff for the high command; Ad-
miral Karl Doenitz, commander in
chief of the German Navy, who
took over the reins after the
Fuehrer's reported death; Admiral
Erich Raeder, former commander
of the navy. Keitel and Jodl are
indicted on all four counts, the
two admirals on all except the
crimes against humanity.
In addition to the general staff

Gen. Berry said that even with

AS plunderers and despoilers. the
Nazis made their Hun forebears
look like pickpockets and Hallow-
cen pranksters
The Allied war crimes indictment
released today indicates that on
many occasions the Nazis simply
demolished what they couldn't carry
off. But they carried off plenty. For
instance:
"The museums of Nantes, Nancy,
Old Marseilles were looted. Private
collections of great value were sto-
len. In this way, Raphaels, Ver-
meers, Van Dycks and works of Ru-
bens, Holbein, Rembrandt, Watteau,
Boucher disappeared. Germany COM
PEELED France to deliver up The
Mystic Lamb by Van Eyck, which
Belgium had entrusted to her"
From Kiev the Germans carted
away more than 100000 books,
magazines and manuscripts and a
large number of artistic produc-
| tionS.
87,000,000 Bottles of Champagne.
Many valuable art productions,
100000 valuable volumes and 70
cases of periodicals and precious
monographs were stolen from Riga.
1t was not only in art that the
Nazis occasionally showed good
taste. For example, they removed
81, 100000 bottles of champagne
from France.

In addition. from June, 1910, to Sep
tember, 1914, the French treasury
was compelled to give Germany
631, 1866 900, 600 francs t$12.637 $780,
00O).
The Germans also extracted mill
lions of~tons of raw materials, great
quantities of industrial equipment,
agricultural produce and manu-
factured products from France.
Russian Loot Tremendous.
But the French loot figures are
dwarfed by those of Russia. In
state prices of 1941, the Soviet Union
estimates its material loss at $780,
$50, 700, 900.
In describing the looting in Es-
thonia alone, the indictment men,
tions the removal of 10000 works OF
art.
Much of Russia's material loss
represents destruction. They de-
stroyed 427 Russian museums. in
cluding those of Leningrad, Smo-
lensk, StSlingrad, Novgorod and Pol
tava. They wrecked 1.670 Greek
Orthodox churches, 237 Roman

532 synagogues.

indictment because they are VIOLA

By the Associated Press.
The Senate Military Affairs
Committee called on the chief
of naval personnel today to
answer complaints about the
tempo of the Navy's demobiliza-
tion program.
Committee members said they had
many questions to ask Admiral
Louis Denfeld, based mainly on con-
tentions that the Navy discharge
system is slower and less liberal
than the War Departments.
Meanwhile, the Navy made public
an assurance from Secretary For
restal that withdrawal of warships
from the Pacific to celebrate Navy

the indictments embrace the Reich
Cabinet, the Leadership Corps of
the Nazi party, the SS and the
Gcstapo.
Goering Indictment Typical.
Throughout the indictment, it is
specified that particulars cited in
the individual, identified cases do
not prejudice the right of the
prosecution to adduce other evi-
dence of other cases.
The wording OF the indictment
against Goering is typical OF that
against the other high leaders,
wherein all four counts were in
volved.
His various posts in the party and
the Nazi government between 1882
and 1945 are described and then this
statement made.
The defendant Goering used the
foregoing positions, his personal in
fiuence and his intimate connection
with the Fuehrer in such manner
that: He promoted the accession to
power of the Nazi conspirators and
the consolidation of their control
over Germany, set forth in count one
of the indictment.
"He promoted military and eco
nomic preparation for war, set forth
In count one of the indictment.
He participated in the planning
and preparation of the Nazi con-
spirators for wars of aggression. set
forth in counts one and two Of the
indictment.
And he authorized, directed and
participated in the war crimes set
forth in count three of the indict-
ment and the crimes against hui
manity, set forth in count four OF
the indictment. including wide va
riety of crimes against persons and
property"
Methods of determination.
Prison camps and murder factories
came into the evidence in gruesome
detail-Maidanek, Auschwitz, Buch-
enwald, Dachau.
About 1000 900 persons were ex-
terminated at Auschwitz, about j.
500 600 at Maidanek, says the in
dictment and charges:
Methods used for the works of ex-
termination in concentration camps
were:
Bad treatment, Notwithstanding
experiments sterilization of women
at Auschwitz and at Ravensbruck
study of the evolution of cancer OF
the womb at Auschwitz, of typhus
at Buchenwald, anatomical research
at Natzweiller, heart injections at
Buchenwald, bone grating and
muscular excisions at Ravensbruck
ETC.. gas chambers, gas wagons and
crematory ovens"
In the Crimea LA 900 persons were
gathered on barges, taken out to sea
and drowned, it is charged.
Along with adults, the indictment
says, the Nazis "mercilessly de-
stroyed even children. They killed
them with their parents in groups
and alone. They killed them in chill
dren's homes and hospitals, burying
the living in graves, throwing them
into flames, stabbing them with
bayonets, poisoning them. conduct
ing experiments upon them, extract
ing their blood for the use of the
German army, throwing them into
prison and Gestapo torture cham
bers and concentration camps
where the children died from hun
ger, torture and epidemic diseases.
