 They also came upon the atrocity camps-death holes such as Buchenwald, Dachau and Belsen, where bodies were lying in stacks like cordwood and the emaciated prisoners still alive bore scars of torture, fire poison, starvation and disease. At Dachau, Americans liberated 32OOO inmates and found 39 freight cars filled with hundreds of Polish prisoners starved to death railroad siding out side the camp They discovered incinerators at Buchenwad with capacity of 400 bodies day. They found strangling chambers and the hooks on which the strangled bodies were hung.

OKINAWA

ONE of the wars strangest surprises came to the V Tanks on the island of Oknawa, only 325 miles from the Japanese mainland.
 The enemy let the invaders in without opposition
 Okinawa had been thoroughly pounded by war ships and carrier planes before the invasion. The Japanese knew landing was coming, They knew, too, that from bases on Oknawa the Americans could send Superfortresses, Llberators Flying For tresses and even ower-range bonbers and fighters their home islands the tremendous scale that had paralyzed Germany.
 On April l, 1945 while Eisenhower was still in the early stages of his east-of-the- Rhine sweep the veteran amphibious admiral, Richmond Kelly Turner, put the troops of General Simon Bolivar Buckners. new 10th Army ashore on the west coast of Okinawa. They were prepared for beachhead fight the Two Jima scale. None came.
 The force made up, of soldiers and Marines jumped ashore standing up In day they had split the island in five days they had one-ffth of it. Then another surprise. The most moun- tainouS part the north where the enemy could set price for every foot But Marines sped north with incredibly little opposition They reached the northern tip April 19. The Tanks had four-ffths of the island as virtual gift
 Then opposition stiffened. The free ride over. By May 1 two Army and two Marine divisions pushing down against the major enemys major defense line along the hills from the cities of Naha and Shur on the west to Yonabaru on the east
 In that month the Tanks gained only five miles, against a system of defenses studded with tunnels, caves and artillery and mortar positions that they called the Pacific Siegfried Line" They slogged on, with hand grenades and flame and oil throwers, over terrain Uttered with the bodies of the enemy dead One objective Sugar Loaf Hill - changed ownership ten times in the bitterest kind of hand to-hand fighting,
 General Buckner issued an ultimatum to .surren- der on June H. and most of the Japanese ignored it. But surrender leaflets, dropped behind the lines, began to have an effect The prisoner curve shot up to 000-the greatest number taken up to that time in any Pacific campaign of similar size in this war.
 But the bulk of the enemy troops fought on-or committed suicide General Buckner was killed by shell fragment at forward observation post.

SCHOOL SUPERVISOR
ARRESTED ON BUS

CHARLESTON, S. c., Feb. 20
(ANP)-William Henry Grayson,
Jr., supervisor of Negro schools
here, and approximately 40 other
colored passengers on city Belt
Line bus were arrested here follow
ing an incident during which the
bus driver and anohetr white pas
senger branished pistols and held
them on the Negro passengers.
Mr.. Grayson said that as he
boarded the bus the driver told a
colored man ahead of him that he
had deposited only two pennies in
the coin box instead of two nickels
for himself and a woman compan-
ion, whereupon the man finally
dropped in the disputed fare but in
sisted that his first fare was cor
rect.
Seating himself on the last seat
in the bus, the man ignored abuses
and profanity from the driver but
when another colored man asked if
he heard what was being said, the
man replied, "You tell that driver

pie might use the Negro"
AS to the fear of some white peo-
pie that Negroes might control elec-
tions, McGinty said Negro Geor-
gians can now vote in the general
election. He expressed fear that in
the new proposed setup politicians
might run in the primaries without
the people themselves having a
voice and that Georgia needs more,
not fewer primary laws"
Defeat of McGinty's proposal
came after reply by Sen. Wallace
Harrell of Quitman, chairman of
the senate constitution committee.
Harrel urged the outright elimina-
ton to all references to the primar-
les, saying that political parties
could make their own rules for their
parties and that all citizens could
vote in the general elections.
Thereupon, the senate by voice
vote overwhelmed McGinty's pro-
posal, and wit hout opposition
struck the poll tax out of the con-
stitution.
McGinty, co-author of the bill to
repeal the poll tax, won the Georgia
Press association prize last year
for the most courageous editorial.
1t concerned the move to repeal the
poll tax.
The primary fight conducted by
members of the Citizens Demo-
cratic club of Fulton county, who
were denied the ballot in the July a
election, rests presently with the
department of justice, affidavits
having been sent Atty. Gen. Fran
cis E. Biddle.

to go to hell"
Hearing the remark, the driver
halted the bus, pulled a pistol and
started through the passengers
standing in the aisles for the man
on the rear seat. A white man, iden-
titled as "friend" of the driver,
begged him not to shoot anyone and
finally subdued him. But another
passenger pulled a pistol and held
it over the Negroes, none of whom
the driver would let off the bus al
though the ywere in no way in
volved, while the load was hauled
to the police station where many
were charged with being disorderly.

Reject Towering OF
GEORGIA PRIMARY BARRIERS

ATLANTA, Feb. 20 )ANP)-
A dramatic plea for the right of
Negroes to vote in the Democratic
primaries of Georgia was defeated
in the Georgia senate. The plea was
made by Sen. Roy McGinty. pub
Usher of the liberal Calhoun (Ga.)
Times.
The legislature, which recently
received national commendation
for abolishing poll taxes, turned
thumbs down on the Calhoun solon's
views in an overwhelming voice
vote.
The rejection came upon McGin-
tvs urging the senate to retain in
the new state constitution the regu-
lations governing the party pri-
maries.
Redrafters of the constitution
ana the state house of representa-
tives had eliminated from the pro-
posed new constitution all refer
ence to primaries in move de-
signed to prevent the decision of
the United States Supreme court
in the Texas primary case from ap-
plying to white" democratic pri-
marieS in Georgia.
Prominent liberal Georgians and
organizations had requested the re-
drafting commission to retain rules
governing primaries in the interest
of good government" Such re-
quests had been sent Gov. Ellis B.
Arnall and commission members
when the idea was proposed at the
first meeting of the body last year.
The requests and efforts were ig-
nored and apparently the Georgia
senate was carrying out the view
already supported in the house of
representatives.
Senator McGinty in urging re-
tention of primary regulations, OBJ
served that the trainers of the pres
ent constitution did not deny Ne
groes the right to participate in
Democratic primaries. He said fur
ther that perhaps we are not as
much afraid of the Negro vote as
we are of the way some white peo-
