HUNGARIAN SAYS FIVE
 MILLION DIE
By THOBURN WANT


 NEAR ERFURT, Germany, April l4-Dr. Bela Fabian, President of the dissolved Hungarian Independ- ent Democrat Party, said in an in terview that 5,0Oo,000 Jews had been gassed and cremated in a murder factory at Auschwitz in uppr Si- lesia.
 Fabian said he had been taken to Auschwitz 10 months ego with hall a million other Hungarian Jews. Four hundred thousand were gassed and cremated the first two months, only 100000 remaining alive.
 With It. Theodore Gutman of Los Angeles and Sgt. Siegmund Fuld of New York City acting as translators, Fabian told the story, so horrible as to be almost un- believable.
 Fabian said he could speak Eng fish, but he was so unnerved by the ordeal of his detention he preferred to give the interview in German.
 
 He said the 5,000,000 murdered at Auschwitz included Jews from Belgium, Holland, France, Russia, and Greece. Fabian said he spent four months at Auschwitz and then was moved last October 26 to Or anienburg, near Berlin, because the Germans feared the Russians would overrun the murder plant. After two weeks he was shifted to Ohr- druf, south of Gotha. where he re- mained until liberated by the Am ericans.
 All Jews over 50 were gassed and cremated but Fabian said the Ger mans believed him when he insisted he was only 46.

 missionaries released from the San to Tomas and Los Banos interment camps. The Paco Ermita, Malate, and Pasay sections, where many church, school and hospital buildings of the churches stood, are described as "a ghastly sight" The Roman Catholic Church has lost many of its finest edifices; and the Protes- tant denominations that suffered most are the Methodist, the Presby- terian, the Congregational, and the Protestant Episcopal. The Method- ists, for example, have been told that their ruined buildings include the Central Student Church, St. Pauls Church, Mary J.

 A sharp word against profiteering at the expense of the victims of the worlds most terrible war was voic- ed recently by Pope Plus XII in Vat jean City. The Pontiff said: Let ncne of you be numbered amongst these who, in the midst of the terri ble calamity in which the human family finds itself at present, see in that tragedy only a propitious occa- gion to enrich themselves through dishonest means, by taking advan- Jage of suffering and need of their neighbor and raising prices without llnit ill order to procure profits that are scandalous. Look at their hands: they are besnirclled with blood; the hIcod O. widows and orphans; the hlood of children and youths, whose physical development is impeded or retarded by malnutrition and hun ger; the blood of thousands and thousands of mfortunates of all classes whom they have sacrificed at the altar of their despicable trade. l ais bleed, like that of Abel, cries to heaven aeainst the neW Gains.
