TINS were believed killed five days
before We day when they were
jammed into four ships sent into
the Baltic to be sunk by Allied war
planes, survivors reported yester-
day.
Bodies of some of those burned

Pole now in displaced persons

to shore. He said he was jammed
with about 1000 others onto the
freighter Athene, and later trans
ferred to the pleasure ship Cap Ar

water and nowhere to wash"
He said Allied planes bombed the
ship with rocket bombs, and specu-
lated: Il think the British had
heard the Germans perhaps were
going to blow us up with high ex-
plosives that night. They thought
more would escape this way.
There was young American boy
with u.s." Nikodem continued. He
escaped, too, for his father had
been working in the camp hospital
and had been able to slip his son
more to eat SO he was strong
enough to swim. But the father
did not escape"

On Returning uses

BY the Associated Press.
A compromise was brewing to-
day between President Truman's
request for continued Federal
control over the United States
Employment Service and a House
vote to turn 1t back to the States.
The issue came up before SEN
ate Appropriations Subcommittee
whose chairman, Senator McKellar,
Democrat. of Tennessee, told report
ers: The whole question Is one OF
time"
The President wants the Govern
ment to keep the agency for a year.
The House would give it to the
States in 30 days.
II doubt very much that the serv-
ice could be turned back in 80 days"
Senator McKellar said.
Mr.. Truman said In his Tuesday
night address that millions OF work.
ers would want to look to "eff1cient
and centralized employment Of
fees for jobs during the next year.
Before the war the service was
operated by the States with the aid
of Federal funds When the emer-
gency came, President Roosevelt
brought 1t under Federal control be-
cause labor needs of war industries
necessitated large scale migrations
of workers between the States.
The House attached the provision
for quick return to the States to a
bill Withdrawing $4,000, 100000 in
war appropriations.
Senate leaders obviously hoped to
increase the 30 days, but there were
indications that any attempt to run
the period out to many months
would bump into substantial oppo-
sition.
Less than six weeks ago the Sem
ate voted Sc to % to return the
USES to the States within 80 days.

session as a witness for State con-

ment, never has been and so far as
any of us can see it never will be, -
he told reporters.
1T has never rendered as good
