5000 stacked drums at the Franklin
Oil Co.'S retaining plant, then

21ST ARMY GROUP HEAD
QUARTERS, July "A suicide pact
in which German general killed
his mistress and then himself
marked the dissolution of the head
quarters of Field Marshal Ernst
Busch, British intelligence officer
disclosed yesterday.
Marshal Busch, who surrendered
nearly 100000 troops to Field
Marshal Montgomery last May, has
been moved outside Germany.
Involved in the suicide pact were
Gen. Kienzel, member of Busch's
staff, and Frau Won Aschnoff, whose
bodies were found in a house near
Flensburg last week. Both had
bullet holes through the head and
nearby was Kennels automatic
pistol.
Kienzel, described as a hard
drinking, hard-swearing, monocled
German of about SO, left a letter
asserting he would rather die than
face long separation from his mis-
tress in a concentration camp.
Intelligence officers were told his
wife was reported to have consent
ed to divorce SO he could go away
with Frau Aschnoff. The latters
background in the case is being
investigated by security police.
Kienzel was former chief of staff
to Busch and was one of his ennis
saries sent to arrange the surrender
terms with Marshal Montgomery at
Lueneburg Heath.
TWO others at that meeting have
met violent death. They were Gen.
Admiral Hans Georg Friedeburg
who committed suicide by taking
poison, and Maj. Fiedel, who died in
an automobile crash.
Kennels death came three days
before the sending of some 80 or
so members of Busch's staff to
prisoner of war cages in Germany
Busch and his chief of staff, Gen
Hoffman, were flown out of the
country and imprisoned in a "se-
cret camp" the British intelligence
officer related
The field marshal was one of the
last members Of the German general
staff to be seized. All have been
separated into small groups and
dispersed to camps outside Ger
many in accord with the plan for
isolating high ranking German Of
ficers to prevent them from plotting
future wars.

OBERAMMERGAU, July a.
Hope that the Passion Players will
be able to get their production in
shape for a special presentation
next year is stirring the villagers of
Oberammergau though no decision
has been reached.
The Passion Play has been given
here since 1884, when it was begun
as an expression of Thanksgiving
because Oberammergau was spared
during plague.
The play was given at l0-year in
tervals, but the last one was pre-
sented in 1884 on the tercentenary.
War prevented its repetition in 1914.
Miss Amy Rutz, who plays the
role of Mary, said:
I'VE all hope we can give the play
next year, although normally it
would not be given again until 1854.
But we lost so many men in the war
and new characters must be trained
for roles.
Willy Bierling. who played John,
is now prisoner of war in the
United States. We lost more than
100 men.
1,400 in Play.
From village of 5000 we use
l. 400 persons in the play, TOO actual
ly taking roles in the cast. The re-
mainder are technicians.
Many women have married since
1884 and that further limits our
choice of characters, since in most
roles married women are barred" !"
The villagers have been keeping
their famed wood carving schools
going, working at the daily tasks
while waiting for rehearsals to be-
gin.
Otto Rutz, not relative of Amy,
who plays Simon, is the village tech
nician. plate is portrayed by Mel
choir Breitamter, the sawmill own
er. Judas is Hans Ewing, an artist
and farmer, whose great-grand-
father once played the Christus,
whose grandfather played Peter and
whose father played Judas.
Lang Lives in Barn.
The current -ChristuS is Alois
Lang, who now lives in barn back
of Daheim Lang. noted hotel where
Passion Play" visitors were put up
by the Lang family The hotel has
been taken over by the 10th Ar
mored Division for its headquarters,
The division occupies the town.
The cast lost its Mary Magdalene
the former Rita Posch, daughter OF
the town druggist, who married
some years ago and now has two
children. She won't be able to
play the role.
But the costumes and scenery are
undamaged by the war. The town
was spared by bombers, although 1t
was learned after the United States
Army moved in that it housed a
| laboratory for jet-propulsion plane
designing staffs.

Akron's Strike Idle
SweIIed 10 $4,000
By Firestone WaIkouf
BY the Associated Press.

AKRON, Ohio, July 2.-Some
$4,000 CIO- United Rubber Work
ers in the Nations tire-building
capital were idle today as pickets
patrolled plants of the Firestone
Tire g. Rubber Co. and employees
of five Goodyear Tire g. Rubber
Co. divisions continued their 16-
day-old stoppage. The strikes
brought an almost complete
shutdown of the rubber industry.
The 16,700 Goodyear employees
yesterday voted for the seventh time
to continue their strike, despite a
War Labor Board threat to rescind
their union contract rights and re-
classification of the men by draft
officials. They walked out following
a breakdown of negotiations on 80
wage and working condition griev-
ances.
The Firestone workers struck yes
terday after an estimated 1900
URW-members voted two-to-one
for q stopage at stormy three
hour meeting. The ballot was taken
when the membership refused to
accept the report of a contract ne
gotiating committee.
Oppose WLB Action.
In statement issued last night,
I. S. Watson, president of the Fire
stone local, said, the company ad-
vised us they would refuse to con-
cede any ground on So points in
dispute"
The employees also voted against
submission of the disputed points toI
the WLB, Mr.. Watson said, COM
menting, The members have no
confidence in that board"
Negotiations at Firestone, where
a compapy-union contract expired
Friday, have been practically con-
tinuous since National Labor Re-
lations Board election two weeks ago
in which the workers voted better
than 6-to-1 for a strike.
Company officials had no COM
ment.
L. S. Buckmaster, international
vice president of the URW, intro
duced a motion to give the interna-
tional officers and the WLB Is days
to bring about a settlement. When
it failed by voice vote, Buckmaster
requested a show of hands. The
measure again failed to pass.
Face Loss of Rights.
The Goodyear strikers faced eras-
ure of directives granting the union
rights as maintenance of member |
ship and checkoff, shift premiums
and vacations, for the National WLB
in Washington warned it would con-
slider a proposal for such action to-
day if the strike were not ended
Meanwhile, draft officials, acting
on a mandate by William H. Davis, !
economic stabiliZation director, can
celed occupational defermentS for
registrants participating in the
walkout.
Despite these threats, the strikers
unanimously approved a motion
from the floor that I'VE will not go
back to work until we get out griev-
ances settled"

Atrocities
CONTINUED From First Page.)

"the supreme example of bestisl
sadism in our modern world"
George Issues Statement.
Senator George, in a statement
to The Star on his visit to the
camps, said:
The congressional committee of
which was member visited
Europe in the last hours of the
war We were witnesses to the
funeral march in Germany. Hitler
carried Germany down with him in
utter ruin, a colossal sacrifice to
colossal vanity. All around us
were things too monstrous TO grasp.
Great cities in ruins, millions of
people roaming hopelessly through
the countryside without homes,
their relatives lost and all normal
hope gone out of their lives.
"At every prison camp we were
surrounded by moving, milling refu-
gees-former inmates of the prison.
They represented almost half Of
the nationalities of the earth, a
new lost tribe of the world. Within
the political prison camps lately
liberated, and some actually lib
Grated during our visit to Europe,
we witnessed the preparation for
the certain determination of men
and women who had resisted by
word or act the Nazi movement.
Pictures Tell Story.
"The construction of the camps,
the instruments of torture, were in
evidence all around us. What we
witnessed-what we saw and felt
beggars description, but the pic
lures such as have been here dis
played tell the next best story of
the gruesome tragedies which we
we're called upon to witness.
Not only should the story be
preserved in pictures, but it should
also be carefully documented and
carried down to future generations
The world will wish to forget, and
most of all, America will wish tc
forget the atrocities of the German
prison camp, and yet 1t stands as
the supreme example of bestial
sadism in our modern world.
I'VE cannot indict whole people
but the German prison camp is un-
mistakable and continuing proof OF
the bestial sadism of the Nazi sys-
tenn. Civilized society has always
held those in responsible positions
accountable for the natural and in
evitable consequences of their vol
untary acts. These pictures and the
pages of carefully documented his
tory will preserve the unmistakablt
proof of the guilt of the Nazi system
to all future generations"
