GUAM, June 23.-The cruiser
Phoenix came out Of the holocaust
Of Pearl Harber to fight In more
than 80 Pacific operations against
the Japanese and Is still going
strong.
The seemingly charmed life Of the
Phoenix was disclosed today In an
unusual report by the Navy on q
warship still in action.
In her wartime career, which has
taken her from the Coral Sea to
Casablanca, the cruisers total losses
were one man killed, one missing
and ~ injured.
Immediately after Pearl Harbor
the cruiser, whose crew calls her
the "Phoo- Bird" took convoy to
the United States and returned with
another. The remainder of the first
year Of the war was uneventful
although she operated in embattled
waters of the Indian Ocean, Aug
tralia and the Coral Sea.
The Phoenix was overhauled In
the United States, journeyed to
Casablanca In 1943 and returned to
the Southwest Pacific to begin an

Shows What Defeat Meant.
Representative Thomas, Demo-
crat Of Texas, another Of the men,
bers of Congress who visited Ger
men concentration camps, ex-
pressed the same sentiment last
night when he told The Star:
II am strongly in favor OF
enabling as many Americans as pos
sible to see the moving picture and
still photographs made by the mill
tary authorities in the Nazi con-
centration camps. Most people have
general impression of the bru-
tally inflicted on the inhabitants
Of occupied countries in Europe, but
if they could see these pictures they
would gain fuller realization OF
what we are fighting for in this
war.
Il believe they would also come
away with a deeper understanding
Of how imperative 1t is that the
United Nations succeed in estab-
fishing a world organization to pre-
vent any future generation from
being subjected to such inhumanity.
They will come away with some
idea OF what we might have faced
If the Axis scheme OF world DOM
ination had succeeded
In Ground Floor Gallery.
The pictures to be exhibited at
the Library of Congress are life
sizes reproductions Of pictures dis
tributed by the Associated Press
the Army Signal Corps and the
British Information Service. They
show scenes from the prison camps
at Buchenwald, Nordhausen, Belsen
Ohrdruf, Thelka, SchwarZenfelda and
Gardelegen. They will be arranged
in the ground floor exhibition gal
lery at the Library.
Gen Omar N. Bradley, who Wis
tied the exhibit in St. Louis, said
what almost everybody who visited
the camps in Germany has said
that 1T Is almost impossible to be-
lieve the atrocities committed by
the Germans. particularly on politi-
cal prisoners, without seeing them
yourself"
He added that these pictures are
not exaggerated In any way. I saw
some of the atrocities myself. and
I think we must keep these atroci-
ties in mind in any future dealing
with 1.-The German people, - r.
Yesterday a group Of Washing

Announcement Praised.
Moscow newspapers warmly
greeted the announcement of the
agreement on a coalition govern

that the decisions of the Crimea

They are fulfilled despite the in
trigues Of those who findered
In Poland and who tried to make
the Polish problem into an irrecon-
cilable contradiction between the

Besides the Soviet Union, which
already has diplomatic relations

England and the United States, "
Pravda said, adding this develops

Reynolds Says
Washington w ats
BY 1. p. REYNOLDS
wAsHINGTON. D. c. cSNs)

WASHINGTON, d. G. - .(SNS) -
Hundreds of thousands milled
the streets of Washington as the
funeral service of President Roose-
welt were held in the White House.
Consensus of opinion of both coli
ored and white is an attitude OF
''Watchful waiting" Of seeing what
President Truman has III store for
carrying out the liberal policies or
the man who lies still in death.
Shrewd politicians say President
Roosevelt's great personality put
over his liberal program in spite
of the conservatives opposition to
his views.
Big business men who control
the wealth of America, heard in
conversations in dining cars and
hotel Hobbies, agree that no man
yet born could have put over the
liberal policy that Roosevelt put
over without in the end meeting
political death.
The colored people are hoping
that President Truman will be an
other Justice Black, but nearly all
agree it IS a gamble. The colored
soldiers said President Roosevelt
was not a possibility but a reality
and hope the new President will
not be a liability.
The great shock came when
washington liberals saw in the
evening paper that President Tru
man would lean more to the con-
sentative wing of the Democratic
Party than did President Roosevelt,
and also were left bordering about
the possible change in the cabinet
for Truman stronger men.
