Nozis Burn Slaves Alive
By CLINTON B. CONGER

With U. s. Ninth Army in Ger many, April Is - (U.PD - Seven hundred Polish, Russian, and Hun garian slaves cringed on the gaso- line-Soaked straw in the small barn.
 A Nazi youth in SS uniform, not over sixteen, opened the barn door and threw in lighted match. As the flames began to lick, he laughed, and slammed the door.
 Some of the prisoners bolted through rear door. AS they ran from the barn, machine-guns manned by more teen-aged SS troops cut them down. Then the Germans went to the dor, emptied their guns inside, and threw in hand grenades for good measure be- fore they finally shut it for good.
 The smell of burning flesh came from the barn. The screams of men being roasted alive ripped the air And the young SS troops laughed.
 Such was the story told 18th Corps investigators today by 10 sur vivors of an original group of g. 900 slave workers moved from an aircraft factory in eastern Ger many.
 Most of the story was told by an haggard, Hungarian musician, Bonde Gaza. He led investigators through the barn which became creamatorium near Gardelegen, 24 miles north of Magdeburg. Some bodies still smouldered in the ashes. Beside the ruins was a neat trench with a charred leg sticking up from the freshly turned earth.
 Gaza said the original 2,00O were damned into a freight train for a seven-day crosS-country trip during which they ate only bread. They finally halted at Mieste, eight miles from Gardelegen, and the death march began. Those who faltered were shot dead where they fell.
 When they reached Gardelegen, 300 German political prisoners were appointed guards, on bloody Fri day, the 18th, 800 were marched to the lonely barn on the plain. The hundred slaves woh fell on the way were killed where they lay.
 Then came the mass torch mur- der. The 700 were herded into a barn 100 by 50 feet and made to sit on the gas-soaked straw. Five minutes later the young SS fiend came in with his match.
 Gaza and other tried frantically to dig holes beneath the barn wall

BY VIRGINIA MACPHERSON

Hollywood, April 18-CUP Char lie Chaplin returns to court today to find out how much it is going to cost him to rear Joan Barrys baby ''in the manner befitting the daughter of a multi-millionaire."
 A verdict, naming Chaplin the father of Carol Ann Barry was re- turned late yesterday by super for court jury by a vote of Il to one.
 Miss Barry, one-time drama pro- tege Of the comedian, thinks hel 18-months-old daughter is entitled to a sizeable chunk of the Chap lin fortune, which at last accounts ranged in the neighborhood of $S,- 100000.
 The decision was a bitter blow tc defense Attorney Charles E. (PGt) Millikan, the only principal per former in court when the verdict was announced. He turned pale ano his jaw dropped in amazemen' when Foreman Cecil z. CroXen the lone male on the jury, read the decision. In a previous trial, which ended in nLng jury last January the jury was deadlocked 2 to 5 II Chaplin'S favor.
 Reporters telephoned Miss Barr. at home to tell her the news.
 Its just wonderful" she said, |" don't know what to say. I'm jus too happy
 Chaplin wasn't saying much. H and his attorney were knee deep il law books, trying to decide whethe to appeal the decision.
 Its getting so I'm in court s' much I don't have time to make movies any more," he said.
 The jurors deliberated two hours and 55 ;ltes {. q took two ballots. The first time the vott was to for the baby, sufficient for a verdict, according to civl court ruling. They voted again tc make it unanimous, but one juror Mrs. Mary H. James, refused to change her mind.
 T simply was not convinced be- yond all doubt that he was the father" she said.
 Most of the jurors apparently discounted testimony by a trio o1 doctors who cited blood tests prov ing that Chaplin could not nave

MORE CERTAINTY
 IN MANAGEMENT
Local Chapter of American Society of Mechanical
 Engineers Hears Davis

Management at the present time can proceed upon a basis of certain ty not available to it before the war it was stated by Edward H. Davis statistician at the Scovill Manu- featuring Company, in an address before members of the Waterbury section, American Society of Mech anical Engineers at The Elton last night. His subject was. New Know ledge of Management and Modern Planning"
 Referring to the managerial prob- lems of industry during the periods of intensive war production, MT Davis stated they were conditioned by several influences new to this period or else developed to much greater degree than at the time of the last World War.
 From the financial Shtandpoint, he said, there has been "an assured and receptive market, available means of equipment and expansion, reasonable assurance of profit both in cash and in increased asset value" He said these factors have cleared the way for application of foresighted policies and planning without the tentativesness and hedging usual to ventures that are now speculative in character.
 Development of spiral competition has been prevented by control of manpower and wage rates, he point ed out. The various restrictions have led to less hoarding, organizing of orders, and progressive augmenta- tion of competitive prices, he stated. MT. Davis also referred to the in- dustrial status affected by the or ganization of labor and the gen. erally high standard of employees, in discussing the current outlook for management.
 Two movies, the Allis- s-Chalmers film titled Tornado In A Box" and illustrating principles of gas tur- pines, and the Anaconda movie, Copper Goes To War" were shown at the meeting.
 Twenty members attended din- ner which preceded the meeting.

come when called as soon as they hear the names of the street" the letter stated.
 Before our boys went into the service" the petitioners continued, they would fill these holes as best they could, but nothing has been done for sometime now" Street Supt. Herbert Scott-Smith said that something would be done as soon as possible.
 Twenty-three people appeared personally at last nights meeting representing the residents of Bar bara street, Charlotte street and Myrna avenue and requesting the immediate construction of sanitary sewers there. Dr. E. J. Godfrey, city health officer sent letter to the board stating that the viciniy in that area was made up of hard | pan and all cesSpoolS there are constantly overfloWing.
