Murder Factory official
Didn't Know of KiIIinos

WIESBADEN, Germany, Oct. 13
P.-Adolg Merkle, who kept the
death records at the Hadamar in
sane asylum, where thousands OF
patients were killed, told an Amer
ican military court today that he
once asked why so many Russians
and Poles were dying and was told
do your work. Don't worry about
other things"
Merkle said he thought foreign
patients died of tuberculosis OF
pneumonia and declared he did not
know they were killed with NOR
phine injections or poison pills.
Merkle and six other Germans
are on trial for the Staying of more
than 400 Russians and Poles. Fiji
teen thousand German mental pa
tients were killed as incurables at
the murder factory before foreign
ers were brought there.
Another defendant, Karl Willig,
admitted giving injections and
poison tablets to patients. The sts1'
at the asylum was SO short-handed,
he added, that he sometimes carried
to the cemetery the bodies of per-
sons he had killed.

France BIomes Alien Source
For Indo-Chino Agitation

PARIS, Oct. 13 (P.-Minister of
Colonies Paul Giaccobi, referring to
"a vast anticolonial current flowing
throughout the world" today said
France blamed her troubles in Indo-
China on foreign support for inde-
pendence movements.
He told a press conference that
the independence agitation does not
start "only inside (the country
they receive support from abroad
."
An official source interpreted
Giaccobi's remarks as referring par
ticularly to Japan, China and the
United States.
The French have insisted the
japanese were largely responsible
for the Annamite independence
movement and that they secretly
armed the Annamites. Recently
too, there has been French criticism
of the conduct of Chinese troops in
Northern Indo-China. The French
also have openly said a few Amer
lean troops have seemed sympa-
thetic with the Annamites and in
some instances helped disarm
French resistance forces.
Giaccobi said France had an
nounced her intention of giving five
Indo-China states the status of q
semiautonomous federation, with
its own government and parliament
On the other hand, he said, France
had no intention of completely re-
linuuishing the territory.

Woman Witness SAYS
Kramer Told Her 10
LET Prisoners Die
BY the Associated Press.

LUENEBURG, Germany, Oct. l3.
A woman member of Josef Kra-
mers staff testified today he told
her last spring that he was pow
erless to remedy the condition of
Belsen prisoners and to "let them
die"
The witness was Herta Ehlert, SIS
woman's supervisor The 40-year-
old blond, accused with Kramer and
43 others of atrocities at the Belsen
and Oswiecim camps, took the stand
as the trial before a military court
was winding up its fourth week.
Il was sick from the smell of the
camp and went to Kramer to ask
what he could do," she said. "He
told me, Let them die. I can't do
anything about it. My hands are
tied"
The Ehlert woman, eighth defend
ant to testify, denied she had mis-
treated any prisoners. She said she
had been punished several times, be-
fore coming to Belsen, for being
too kind to prisoners and asserted
she had tried to get extra food for
her charges at Belsen.
Erika Schoepf, first voluntary wit
ness to appear for the defense, told
the court that SIS Leader Franz
Hoeszler, one of the defendants
saved many persons from death in
the gas chamber.
Under cross-examination, how
ever, she said most of those saved
were bricklayers who were building
new huts in women's compounds
commanded by Hoeszler..
The court agreed to view a Rus
sian film of the Oswiech camp, over
