British Arrest
Is Steel Heads
In Ruhr Raids
War Crimes Charges
Moy Face Some Seized
On U. 5. information
By the Associated Press.

0s INC aoSoCidteQ FTeSS.
1SERLOHN, Germany, Dec. l.
Seventy-six steel magnates rep
resenting Ruhr industries worth
billions of dollars were arrested
at their homes last night in a
series of raids by hundreds OF
British security police and
troops.
The raids began at II pm. and
were SO thorough that only eight
of the original list of "a marked fol
arrest were not apprehended. Pick
Ing them up was only a question OF
time.
The industrialists were caught in
circumstances ranging from drink
ing champagne to taking stomach
pills before going to bed.
A director of the August Thyssen
steel works was embarrassed when
the British said they found him in
a bedroom with the blond 24-year-
old daughter of a baron.
Poison Pills Taken.
Fritz Baum, manager of the Ruhr
Gas Utility in Essen, was drinking
champagne with his wife and two
friends, Rat poison pills were
taken from Walter Eichorst, an
other director of the Thyssen works.
DR.. Karl Lipp, head of the pur-
chasing department of the Hoesch
Steel Combine of Dortmund, was
given permission to play a bedtime
lullaby on the violin to his son be-
fore being taken away.
Most of the industrialists were in
bed and all came quietly, police said.
The arresting parties operated on
information partly supplied by an
American intelligence detachment at
Dusseldorf.
Senior British intelligence officers
said the magnates would be trans
ferred to an internment camp in the
British zone, where they will be in
terrogated, and masses of documents
relating to the Ruhr industries will
be studied with the possibility of
charging some of the men in custody
with war crimes.
Prominent Figures Taken.
Those arrested included such
prominent figures in German heavy
industry as Heinz Gehm, chairman
of the Deutsche Edelstahlwerke;
Walther Schwede, director of the
Reichsvereinigung Stahlwerke, and
Frederick Won Buelow and DR.. Ed
ward Hudremont, directors of
Krupps.
Others rounded up included Ru-
dolf Siederleben, managing director
of Otto Wolff K. g.; Arthur Hen
necke, director of Mitteldeutsche
Stahlwerke, and of Friedrich Flick
K. c., and DR.. Guenther Henle, di-
rector of Kloenerwerke K. G.
A senior British officer described
the raids as part of the application,
by the Allied Control Commission,
of the policy of eradicating German
militarism and Naziism.
The weight of heavy German in
dustry was behind the Nazi party,
even before its accession to power"
he said, land the authority and de-
structive ambition of the party be-
fore and during the war years were,
to a large extent, derived from the
existing strength and ambition of
German industry"

BY the Associated Press,

CHUNGKING, Dec. Russia
has agreed to delay withdrawal
Of Soviet forces from Manchuria
until January 8, the Chinese
government announced today.
The agreement will enable Chinese
government personnel to take over

control if Soviet forces were evacu-
ated then. Central government
troops have not yet been able to
penetrate the territory in control

forces reported to have dug in near
Tahushan.
The dispatches reported alleged

ist puppet forces approached Ma
tionalist headquarters at Shinhsien

A semioficial Nationalist dis
patch charged that some zoe, 900
Communist troops are preparing a
four-pronged drive aimed at placing
the strategic maritime province Of
Shantung entirely under Chinese
Red control. The dispatch said

TroveI by Auto

Bearing football fans to the
Army Navy game at Philadel-
phia, the last of a spectrum of
special trains-green, yellow and
white-pulled out of Union Sta
tion at 9::40 o'clock this morning
half empty.
At least five specials were added
to the regularly-scheduled Pennsyl-
vania and Baltimore & Ohio trains
between Washington and Philadel-
phia.
Early arrivals packed the first
trains and the final special, called a
relief" by the Pennsylvania Rail-
road for its regular 10 o'clock run
to New York, was held up for some
time waiting for customers" con-
ductor said.
So Many Vacancies Rare.
No reservations were required on
the relief" section of about 20
coaches, but the public, evidently
believing accommodations would
not be available without tickets for
seats, had sought other means Of
transportation.
Its been long time since I saw
this many empty seats pull out Of
Washington" remarked a trainman
as he signaled for the relief" sec
ton to leave Union Station.
A Union Station official who
did not want to be identified
said that the crowd leaving for to-
days game was one of the smallest
in many years. He would not even
estimate their number.
zoo Truman Guests.
President Truman's own special
train, bearing some 200 guests, in
cluding five wounded servicemen
from Walter Reed Hospital, pulled
out shortly before am and arrived
in Philadelphi at 11:18 am. His
guests included cabinet members,
some personal friends and White
House attaches.
AS early as am. thousands Of
Washingtonians in holiday mood be-
gan assembling at Union Station en-
route to the Army-Navy classic.
They were colorful crowd, bearing
varied assortment of parapher-
nalia-blankets, hot-water bottles,
field glasses and banners
Pennsylvania trains leaving at
Sis am. and am. were jammed,
and many people stood in the aisles
and on platforms. As the morning
advanced the later trains were less
crowded.
Rainbow Fleet Draws Interest.
Owing to the fact that the rail-
roads have advertised for several
days that because of the extensive
military use of equipment, there
would be no special trains, reporters
took special interest in the rainbow
fleet"
Union Station officials still insist
ed this morning that no special
trains were being run. Asked what
the white" yellow" and green"
trains might be called, one officer
said resignedly:
"You name them, there are the
signs over there"
Specials Reserved.
A large sign directed travellers to
the white" train, which pulled out
about the same time as the presi-
dental special. 1t carried only those
fortunate enough to hold reserva-
tions.
Two sections of the green" train
left shortly afterward. 1t was re-
served for members OF Congress,
their families and their friends.

erenCc, however, QlQ not inspire The
studio to make a great picture out OF
the novel, although it did make one
with superbly dramatic moments
and a generally interesting one. 1t
is not too difficult to recommend
despite the fact that it's tempo is
slow and it's length too great for the
needs of the story.
The best single thing about For
Whom the Bell Tolls" is Miss Berg
mans performance as Maria. the
Spanish beauty who fell so passion
ately in love with the American
engineer who went to Spain to fight
for human freedom AS a portrait
of devotion, Miss Bergman coins a
masterpiece which contrasts sharply
at times with the tonelessness of
Cooper's impersonation of the cru
sading American.
Director Sam Wood has followed
Hemingway with considerable fidel-
ity, even to the point Of allowing
the pace of the film to become list
less at scattered intervals. 1t is by
no means listless, of course, in the
passage descriptive of the loyalistS'
capture of an enemy-held town, a
realistic sequence in
which brutality enjoys no less than
a rampage. Hemingway, of course,
was on the side of the loyalists, but
he wrote this chapter with kind of
appalling honesty which states the
beastliness of the side which he
wanted to win the war. Similar
nh octn
known scenes of the battle on the
mountain top. the blasting of the
bridge which provided the main in
cident of the narrative, and the
subsequent escape.
Apart from Miss Bergman, the
particular virtues of For Whom the
Bell Tolls will be found resident in
several subordinate roles, notably
that of Katherine Paxinou as Pillar;
Akin Tamirof as Pablo, and those
of Vladimir Sokoloff, Joseph CAL
leia and several others.
AS we say. 1t Is not great pic
ture that came out of Hemingway
novel, but it adds up to an arrest
ing one that you had better see If
you have not managed that already.

 Tt was so close I could have reached out and caught it," says Johnson. Occasionally it craned it's neck around to look inside the car. L tried to shake it by slowing and speeding up the car. But the duck adjusted it's flight accordingly
