Grim Horror Camp Films ShoWn At Nazi Trials

Lueneburg. Sept. 20.-(UP)-The silent testimony of a movie newsreel showing bulldozers shovelling hun- dreds of broken corpses into a mass grave at Belsen was unfolded be- fore a British military tribunal to- day at the atrocity trial of 46 Nazl prison guards.
 A ripple of shocked surprise ran through the darkened courtroom as the picture unreeled, but the defen- dants looked on in grim silence.
 British Film
 The documentary film was taken by British cameramen immediately after the camp was liberated last April.
 When it ended, Josef Kramer, for- n1er commandant of the Belsen camp and number-olle defendant, leaned over to hold a whispered con- ference with Fritz Klein, the Belsen medical officer. .
 Immediately after the showing, the prosecution brought to the wit- ness stand a British schoolteacher who survived a year in the Belsen camp-probably the only Briton to enter that place of horror and come out alive.
 He was a Channel Islander named Harold Osmond Druillenec who was rescued by British troops when they arrived in Belsen last April to find l3,000 bodies piled there and thousands more dying.
 Druillenec, who appeared broken in health and walked with the aid of a cane. said he was arrested 24 hours before the Allies landed in Normandy last June. He was re- moved from Jersey Island and transported to Eelse;i.
 The SchoolmaSter said he was ar- rested because he possessed a for- bidden radio. .4.
 Druillenec testified to the atroci- ties committed by the guards on the helpless captives at BelSen. He was backed up by British officer who was among the first hberatorS to enter Belsen.
 The officer told the court that 600 tons of potatos were found within two miles of the death camp where thousands of men, women and chil- dren were being systematically starved. st

N a The Armadais departure. coupled with an announcement that three- quarters of Japan's home army of 2,253, 900 men has been demobilized, clearly indicated that the American occupation of Japan was well be- yond the danger point.
 Japan herself took another step to insure speedy compliance with Gen. Douglas MacArthur's occupa- ton orders. Her privy councillors conferring in the presence of Em- peror Hirohito, approved an extra ordinary imperial decree automati- cally legalizing all government or- ders issued at direction of MacAr- thur.
 Penal Punishment
 The decree became effective irn- mediately. It empowered the gov- ernment to enforce the orders with penal regulations if necessary.
 Ships of the Third Fleet pulled anchor and steamed out of Tokyo bay early this afternoon, leaving oc- cupation of Japanese home waters to Admiral Raymond A. Spruance's Fifth Fleet.
 The Third Fleet. worlds greatest naval flotilla, will participate in Navy Day ceremonies in the United States Oct. 27. GA MES broadcast said part of the fleet will anchor at a west coast port Oct. IS and an- other part will proceed to the east coast in time for the Oct. 27 cere- monieS.)

MortiaI Low Proclaimed

Saigon, French Indo-C China, Sept. @.-(UP)-The British army pro- claimed martial law throughout In. do-China today in a move to head oil threatened uprising by anti French Nationalists.
 Maj.-Gen. Douglas D. Gracey, commander of British forces in Indo.C China, issued a proclamation forbidding the carrying of arms by anyone outside the Allied forces.
 Death Sentences
 He announced that crimes against public order would be treated as military offenseS and that looters and saboteurs would be executed surnmarily.
 Gracey backed up his stern order by posting heavily-armed Gurkha patrols throughout Saigon and the territory controlled by the British to replace the native and Japanese police.
 The proclamation apparently was intended to squelch native annamite Nationalists in preparation for the critical moment when French au- thorlties resume control of their former colony and protectorates in Indo-C China.
 No overt clashes had been re- ported since Sept. 2, but tension between French and Annam.teS was high. British authorities appeared uneasy of further outbreaks.
 30 Seized
 Thirty French citizens seized by the Annamites in the first disor- derS were disclosed to have been released on British orders.
 Observers believed the greatest danger of an explosion would come

 The money will be spent, he said, for highway construction and for new constructions or improvements at state institutions.
 Tn addition to give our state much-needed buildings, which could not be constructed during the war" he said, because of the shortage of labor and material, our public works program will furnish jobs to our workers '-t State Institutions
 Major projects totaling $1,474, ,653 already were unduer way at state institutions, he said, and another $9,- 100000 has been earmarkd for that type of work. :.
 Highway contracts amounting to more than $11,000,000 will be let during the next 12 months, at the rate of $1,000000 month.

 The legislative council, which has held two meetings to consider the need of a special session, has slated another meeting for next Wednes- day to take up additional recom- mendations.

Finnish Peace Treaty Highlights Big-5 Agenda
Confusion Present As to Position of Monv Allies

London, Sept. 20-tUP)-The Big Five Council of Foreign Ministers opened preliminary discussions to- day on the drafting of a peace treaty with Finland.
 Wel;informed sources said pro- posals for a final settlement with twice-defeated Finland were intro duced at this mornings council Ses- sion, paralleling similar negotia- tions for treaties with Bulgaria and Ronania.
 Snag
 These informants said, however, that the council had run into an immediate snag because of the fact that only Russia and Britain actually were at war with Finland.
 That clouded the position of the United States, France and China at the conference table and indi- cated that the Finnish treaty dis

Warned To Watch For
 Jap Bombs

WARNING Twpb soneof aears
 WASHINGTON - The War and Navy Departments reported this week that the Japanese have been making a fantastic effort" to bomb the western L. S. mainland with free" balloons.
 The long-range balloons, made of paper and carrying small bombs, are unnamed. Some of them are known to have landed or dropped explosives in isolated sections but there has been no damage to pro perty. the joint statement said
 This was the first time that the public generally had been told of the balloon attacks, although they were known to many newspapers and others.
 The joint statement said the dis closure was being made so that a public safety campaign could be undertaken to prevent possible dam age or injury from the balloons.
 There is always a possibility, the statement said, that uneXploded bombs may be found in isolated spots. concealed in wooded areas or buried beneath melting snow.
 Warning Issued
 With the approach of warm weather and the end of the school season, the statement added, it is desirable that people and especially children living west of the Missis- sippi river be warned of this pos sible hazard and cautioned under no

Bi|bo, 68 Years Old Today,
Sticks TO His Routine

Chairman Bilbo of the Senate Dis
trict Committee is 68 years old to-
day. but it's "just another day." to
which he's not giving undue atten-
ton, he insisted.
I'm At years old" he told a re-
porter jokingly, adding that he real
lied such statistical summaries as
the Congressional Directory didn't
agree with him.
There's no reason, said the Sena-
tor, who is known to his constituents
as the Man." to vary his routine
today or any other day.
This, he explained, consists in
arising at $50 am. to read the
morning papers, and after he has
devoted the day to his various sena-
torial chores to retire about 10 pm,
on completing his nightly reading.
What was he reading besides the
papers? His current book is The

the Senator explained.

been member of the Senate since
1884. Before that he was Governor
