To-day l saw the most awful
example of mass murder in my

camp today that was recently
freed by the Allies. l never
thought I would ever see any
thing like this, but | did. At this
camp there were
10000 prisoners at one time.
These prisoners were mostly
political prisoners, but there
were also some Russian prison

of these prisoners had been there
three years. 1t is very large

Some of the faces had a very ter

must have died a miserable
death.
EIGHT CREMATORS
About 81 900 prisoners died
at this concentration camp. We
asked the prisoner that was
showing us around what they did
with the dead bodies. He took
us into a nearby building and in
it were eight huge cremators
where they burned the bodies.
We opened one of the doors and
We saw half burned body in it.
1t was a horrible sight.
1--WE saw the living quarters of
the prisoners and have never
seen anything so deplorable in
my life. The prisoners all got
dySentery and typhus and they
were so crowded that they had
TO lay down in their own filth.
The smell was almost unbear-
able. All of the prisoners had
body lice, and there used to be
two or three prisoners in one
bed, or / should say a narrow
cot. The beds were three high
and there was scarcely more
than a foot between beds, if that
much.
"The prisoners used to work
10 and 20 hours a day. All of
the work was hard labor. They
used TO get two meals day,
which usually consisted of one
liter of watery soup. The rea-
son they all got dysentery Is be-
cause they never got any solid
food. When they got dysentery
too bad, they couldn't eat, so
they slowly starved TO death.
Some of them begged for medi-
cal attention so they gave them
shot of poison in the arm and
killed them. These are some
of the nicer details Of the camp.

strangely like that of some re-

Discharge Points Cut
For Naval Aviators
BY the Associated Press.

bs the hSsOCldteu IlcsS.
The first major change in the
Navy's point system for demobiliza-
tion came today in an order reducing
the number of points required by
naval aviators for release to A. All
other male Reserve officers need As
points.
The new point score for aviators
is the same as that for enlisted men
While there was no formal an
nouncement of the new order affect
ing aviators and no details were
given as to the reasons, several fac
tors we're understood to have con-
tributed to the action.
Because of the tremendous need
for young men in the Navy's flying
arm in the early days of the wal
standards were lowered to permit
admission of young men just out
of high school. AS result the
aviation commissioned group is
younger on the average than any
other branch Of the service, esti-
mated at about five years younger
Therefore, because of their age, the
group could not accumulate age
points comparable to other COM
missioned officer groups. Further
more, they we're prohibited from
marrying while in school and many
were sent to fighting areas imme-
diately on graduation, so that few
can qualify with points for de-
pendency.
Because Of the rapid expansion
of aviation the group also grew
faster than others, so that now
there are about 1900 aviators on
active duty.
