German Underground Group Claims Murder
Of High Ranking American Army
Officers In Occupied Cities

LONDON, April 2-(P-Boasting
Of the power of the newly-formed
Werewolf underground terrorists
organization, the Germans credit
ed the group tonight with the re-
cent assassinations of the mayors
of occupied Aachen and Meschede
and warned a similar fate awaited

Calling the American financler
"JeW Baruch," a radio describing
itself as an underground We're
wolf" station said if Baruch, now
in Britain, goes to the Reich, eve
will hunt him down as an insult to
the German land.
'sHe instigated the first world
war and now is continuing his
Crimes" the German broadcaster
said. One day Werewolf will get
him."
The radio also claimed We're
wolves already had murdered some
American Army officers, including
three of high rank, and had been
active in Frankfurt and Heidelberg.
A DNB broadcast quoting off,
cial Berlin circles said "the first
appearance of the Werewolf was
made to guard national honor by
executing death sentences on the
fneisters of Aachen and Meschede.' .

"The German radio said last

tribunal.
DNB's official report said the
Werewolf developed spontaneously
when courageous men and Ma

look on any longer while soldier

'Werewolves will not give in te

said.

Nichols said.
An average of 100000 gallons

The pipeline was completed last
Septembe~~, but operations have
been held up due to a delay and
the arrival of the auxiliary gaso-

The history of Wilmington S
water supply ended another phase
yesterday as City Manager A. C..
Nichols officially announced that
the City now is receiving water
from the unlimited salt-free
source" at Kings Bluff through
the new 20-mile concrete-steel pipe
line.
Since 1918 the City has battled
the elements with pipelines and
dredges in efforts to obtain pure
drinking water, free from salt, and
it is believed that success at last
has been attained.
The flow of water from the pres
ent station at Kings Bluff, 10 feet
higher than any tide ever recorded
in this section, is maintained
through the 30-inch pipeline by cleo
tcic pumps, two of which are To-
Gated at Kings Bluff. One has a
capacity of 100000 gallons every
"a hours, and the other 100000
gallons.
An eight-million gallon capacity
emergency gasoline pump is ex-
pected to be installed within the
next few days.
In 1909, the City acquired the old
Clarendon Water Works, which
dipped its pipes in the river in

Byrnes had agreed last Novem-
Der to stick to his post-as Mr..

The President held the resigna-
ton while Allied armies famed
swiftly over the Reich and then,

virtually eliminated, released the
former senator and Supreme Court
justice with heartfelt regret"
The choice of Vinson to steer
the country through the delicate
period of waging full-scale war
against Japan even while partly
dismantling che war machine had
been predicted since Byrnes' first
attempt to quit the Government
last October.
Vinson, former member Of the
House from Kentucky, is popular
in Congress. AS Director OF Eco
nomic Sterilization, he got along
with labor most of the time in his
management of price and wage
problems. His appointment as Fed
eral Loan Administrator on March
6, less than a month ago, was cor
daily received by business.
This augured well for the recep-
ton to be given reconversion plans
under his direction. The strong
handed Byrnes had been criticized
even among the business members
of his own civilian advisory COM
mittee, for allegedly letting mill
tary leaders dominate the politics
of his office. The resignation Of
Byrnes' chief deputy, Maj. Gen.
Lucius D. Clay, was greeted with
hardly-concealed relief in the civil
ian government agencies last week.

ConnaNy Visions Success
For San Francisco Farley

The American delegation to the
conference will go to the State
Department tomorrow morning for
general discussion of organiza-
tional problems and other preliml-
nary work.
Before Connally stated his opinion
there had been indications that If
current differences over Poland
should not be resolved by the set
opening date of the United Ma
tons meeting, a delay of two or
three weeks might be arranged
with the hope of clearing the mat
ter up. There had been no indica-
ton of a move for prolonged
postponement.
Moscow has demanded seat for
Poland at San Francisco, regard
less of the fact that Alli"d nego-
tiations for broadening the base of
the Warsaw provisional govern
ment apparently have stalled. The
Russians commended that it would
not be possible to amalgamate that
group and '''other democratic ele-
ments' in time. They repeatedly
had stalled at including any men,
bers of the London exile govern
ment.
Both Washington and London
fatty turned down the Russian bid
for an invitation to the undiluted
Warsaw regime.
In the hope of avoiding show
down on the Polish issue, officials
here are bending every effort to
achieve the reorganization in time
for the United Nations meeting.
Before Connally conferred with
the State Department officials,
Senator Wherry (R-Neb) sent Stet-
tinius a letter complaining of "a

There may be still more direct
information on the point tomorrow.
The State Department announced
that Stettinius will hold his regu-
lar news conference at that time.
The split over an invitation to
San Francisco for the Soviet-spon-
sored Warsaw regime in Poland
undoubtedly will come up. Stettln-
Jus also has said he will try, to
be prepared at that time to answer
some of numerous questions pro-
pounded last week on a recently

try will back a Russian demand
for three votes in the general as
