LUXEMBOURG, Sept. H.-W.R-
Two witnesses at the Belsen war
crimes trial today accused 21-year-
old Irma Grese, blonde SIS leader
of sending thousands of persons to
their death in gas chambers.
Throughout the trial witnesses
have singled out the sullen defend
ant, veteran guard of three con-
centration camps, as a girl who
beat inmates with a leather riding

a pistol she carried strapped to
her waist.

dog was set upon her by Grese
because she had failed to please
Use Lothe, SIS policewoman, while
on work detail.
"The dog tore off my clothes and

afraid to go to the hospital for
treatment, for I might have been
selected for the gas chamber"
Earlier Abraham Glinowiecki,
lanky Polish youth, testified that
at Oswiecim he saw Grese send
thousands and thousands to the
gas chamber"
Court was interrupted this at
ternoon when Helena Hopper, hus-
ky defendant who has been accused
of beating prisoners, suddenly be-

guards had nudged her with his
hand when she persisted in spittipg
on the floor of the prisoners cage.
During a recess the court ques'

81 One mob of 100 tried to enter a
downtown department store where
the meat counter was being kept
open. Police broke up the attempt,
arresting IS men after scuffles
which sent. several to hospitals.
The Royal Canadian Mounted
Police took over the port Of Mon.

on strike protesting that they
could not work without meat. The
Mounties said they would have
the port open tomorrow.
Gangs who moved from the
waterfront area forced the closing
of three Montreal packing plants
which had been serving shops
which are still open.
The entire coal industry in
Alberta was threatened with
paralysis as union coalminers
struck against meat rationing,
complaining that they could not
get enough to eat under the order,
which allows approximately two
pounds of meat per person per
week. The quantity is greater for
cheaper cuts while hearts, livers,
kidneys and similar meats are
ration-free.
Approximately 1850 miners
walked out, about half of all those
in the Alberta industry. Indica-
tons were that others in Alberta
and miners in British Columbia,
on the Pacific coast, would follow
suit.
The government is turning down
repeated demands to hear delega-

mand that al conference was held
