BERLIN, Oct. 24.-British au-
thorities today quoted German
war prisoners liberated by the
Russians as saying that of ap-
proximately 100000 Nazi troops
captured at Stalingrad barely
5000 are still alive.
The others have died in Soviet
prison work camps or in transit
home on trains which have 200 to
300 corpses aboard when they arrive
at Frankfurt-on- Oder, the prisoners
were quoted as saying.
Capt. j. G. johnson of Oxford,
England, commandant of the In
Walden Strasse transit camp where
the bulk of these discharged war
prisoners from the east are re-
ceived, said he believed their reports
are mot exaggerated
Able Bodied Not Released.
"One can well believe that death
rate when one sees the miserable
wrecks coming through here at the
rate of 1000 per day." Capt. John
son said
THE Russians are not releasing
able bodied men. They are all sick
or incapable of further work. - Re-
leased women of the Wehrmacht
auxiliaries are either pregnant or
venerally diseased"
Capt. johnson said some of the
prisoners reported they walked all
the way back from Russia after es-
Gaping from work camps. Many
limp into the Invaliden camp daily
without shoes, their feet bound in
rags.
-Four Stalingrad veterans inter-
viewed today had come in pairs on
two trains as far as Frankfurt. They
estimated that 200 out of 1000 pris-
oners aboard one train had died
and $50 out of 5000 had died on the
other
AS they pulled into Frankfurt, the
prisoners said, they saw another
train starting out for the east on
which they were told there were
1000 Germans being transported to
Russia.
They were requirements for us, ;"
one prisoner said.
Worked in Peat Bogs.
Two of the four said they had
been discharged rom a camp on the
Berezina River where they worked
in peat bogs. They said their food
consisted of watery fish soup and
400 grams of bread daily-which was
raised to 600 if they fulfilled their
work quota. They started work daily
at am. and finished in the dark
whenever their three-man squad
had finished cutting and loading
$500 squares of peat,
None of the prisoners knew what
had become of Hungarian or Italian
prisoners or members of the Span

lite troops captured by the Russians

100000 Voting
Today on Strike
In GIN Plants
NLRB Is Expected
| To Announce Results
Tomorrow Afternoon
By the Associated Press,


DETROIT, Oct. 24.-General
Motors workers cast strike bal
lots today, and 1t was considered
certain, even by corporation Off
Gals, that the more than 100000
GIN employees would favor a work
Stoppage to enforce their 30 per
cent wage increase demands.
AS the workers voted in the CIO
United Automobile Workers test
case" General Motors officials and
the union resumed their wage con-
ference, but 1t was obvious they
were far from reaching any agree
ment.
Walter p Reuther, UAW-CIO vice
president, said corporation officials
maintained an attitude of complete
indifference" during yesterdays ses-
sions.
Officials Called Indifferent.
He said GIN officials read newspa-
pers and magazines while negotia-
tions were under way and when he
asked them to "lay aside your maga-
zines and listen to what we have to
say" he quoted one of them as
replying, "this Is more interesting
than anything you have to say"
Mr.. Reuther identified the official
as Harry B. Coen, in charge of GIN
labor relations. There were no re-
plies to Mr.. Reuther's charges.
Emphasizing that a strike would
not necessarily follow the election,
Mr.. Reuther said a walkout would
not be called until every human
effort has been made to settle this
thing across the conference table"
The union leader predicted only a
light vote, which he said would be
sufficient to make a strike legal.
Outcome of the vote, one of the
largest ever taken under the Smith
Connally Act and costing $3.50, 900,
will be announced by the National
Labor Relations Board but not be-
fore tomorrow afternoon at the
earliest.
Chrysler Vote Tomorrow.
The strike vote, first of three
among the auto industry's big pro-
ducers, was taken in union halls,
Schoolhouses and other places be-
cause General Motors refused to al
low 1t to be held on company prop
erty.
| Similar votes viii be taken among
Chrysler Corp. employees tomorrow
and among Ford Motor Co. workers
November Z. The three disputes in
volve more than half a million
workers.
| In each case the main issue is
the 30 per cent wage increase, which
c. E. Wilson, president of General
Motors, rejected as unreasonable +"
The union maintains the corpora
ton made enormous profits" dur
ing the war and can afford to pay
the increase without boosting retail
! car prices.
Other issues include seniority pro-
lection for displaced workers in Ger
tain reconverted plants and the
establishment of rules in each plant
for permanent transfer between oc-
cupational groups and for filling va
cancies and new positions.
Union spokesman predicted 80 per
cent of those voting would approve
strike. The corporation, antici-
pating strike, sent letters to its
employees saying the vote undoubted-
ly would favor strike action.

Calls Special Meeting
On Wage-Price Issue
Agendo Prepared for
Conference of Labor
And Management
By JAMES Y. NEWTON.

ReconverSion Director Snyder'S
Advisory Committee was called
into special session today to
study the wage-price problem
and will meet with President
Truman late this afternoon.
The committee, composed of top
representatives of industry, labor
and agriculture, will meet at the
White House to examine data on
wages and prices prepared by Mr.
Snyder's staff. o. Max Gardner
former North Carolina Governor, is
chairman of the group.
They also will consider, 1t was
understood, recommendations made
in recent days by cabinet officers and
agency heads for holding the price
line while encouraging industry te
meet labor's demand for highe,
wages out of profits. The COMMITTEES
may have the final say on new wage
policy.
Farley Agenda Prepared.
The meeting with Mr.. Truman
was set for 8 pm. Eben Ayers
assistant white House press secre-
tary, said he did not know the
reason for the meeting, but other
sources said it was for discussion
of wage-price policy.
Meanwhile, the Government pre-
pared to release the agenda for the
management-labor conference which
will convene here November S. The
conference is being counted on to
establish permanent peacetime ma
chinery for handling industrial dis
putes.
The White House announced DR.
George w. Taylor, until recently
chairman of the War Labor Board
would be secretary of the confer
ence. Appointment of Judge Walter
P. Stacy, presiding judge Of the
North Carolina Supreme Court, as
chairman was announced Monday.
Meeting on Oil Wage Talks.
Elsewhere on the labor front, the
CIO Oil Workers Union was meeting
with Assistant Secretary of Navy
H. Struve Hensel in an effort to
bring about resumption of wage ne
gotiations with oil companies which
were terminated when the Navy
took over refineries to end the re-
cent strike.
The oil companies, it was said, in
dicated a willingness to bargain.
Federal wage policy in effect since
the Japs surrendered permits in
creases in product prices in order to
correct wage inequalities" or "mal.
adjustments" Apparently a major
problem confronting the Snyder
Committee was to decide whether
reduction in wartime work hours
constitutes an 'inequity.'
Henry Ford, I'd, met with Secretary
of Labor Schwellenbach for an houl
yesterday and expressed belief thai
solutions can be found" to prob.
lens which might cause work STOP
pages in Ford plants.
Mir. Schwellenbach told Mr.. Fore
he hoped they would conduct theil
negotiations and discuss matters
with the union and that both sides
would go into the merits of the sit
uation as stated by the other party

Snyder Tells Senators
Legislation Should Not
Stifle New Construction
By MALCOLM LANIBORNE. Jr.

Reconversion Director Snyder
said today the administration
would indorse legislation setting
ceiling prices on homes, provid-
ing it did not "stifle" construc-
tion and could be operated prac-
tically.
Appearing as the first witness in
Senate Small Business Committee
hearing on housing, Mr.. Snyder dis
closed the administrations stand
under questioning by Senator Wher-
ry, Republican, of Nebraska and
Committee Counsel Dewey Ander-
son.
In prepared statement at the
outset of the hearing, Mr. Snyder
declared
Il think it is clear that we are
using all the powers that Congress
has given the executive agencies
the strengthening of inventory and
price controls on materials, the
Tightening of credit controls, the
steps to increase the supply of ma
terials-to assist the industry and q
prospective home owner in obtain
ing more houses and in keeping
their costs within reasonable bounds.
The cooperation of all segments
of the economy is essential to that
end"
Bowles for Price Limits.
Price Administrator Bowles has
urged ceilings on both old and new
homes, and has warned of dan
gerous" infiationary threats in the
building industry. Spokesmen for
the real estate industry have vigor-
ously opposed price limits.
After he read his statement, Mr..
Snyder was asked by Senator
Wherry If he was acquainted with
the OPA plan
I understand they have a pro-
gram, but haven't seen the BILL -
Mr.. Snyder said.
IF the so-called Bowles' program
goes through, do you feel it would
make any difference to building?"
Senator Wherry asked.
The reconversion chief replied that
he would first have to study the
Legislation.
On further questioning by Mr..
Anderson, Mr.. Snyder declared that
the measure would receive admins
tration Endorsement. He then quail
fed this, however. by stipulating
that it should not discourage pro-
duction of homes.
Urges Liberal Legislation.
Mr.. Snyder said any legislation
should be pretty liberal" in setting
the initial cost of new home, but
that its provisions should be stricter
on resale. It's the third, fourth
and fifth resale of homes that brings
on imitation" Mr. Snyder declared.
He disclosed that the OWMR Ad-
visory Committee, a l2-man group
with three representatives each
from labor, industry, agriculture
and the public, had unanimously
recommended that the OWMR Office
support such legislation.

Plane TraueL
Sans Priority,
Sheer Insanity
BY JAMES MARROW

WASHINGTON, July 12-{R)
- Travellers discouraged by
the restrictions on Pullman cars
should think twice before try
ing TO board airplanes without
priorities.
An official OF the Air Trans
port Association OF America
said:
mo one, unless he's crazy,
would try now to travel without
a priority"
This same official scoffed at
the idea that Pullman car re-
strictions would add to the air
lines burdens. where would
we put them" he asked.
People without priorities are

country.
They get a ride, after a wait,
from one stop to the next, are
bumped by someone with a pri-
GRITTY, wait, get a ride to the
next stop on another plane, are
bumped again by priority hold
err, wait, get another plane, and
SO on.
This is the way the official
mentioned above told the story:
Before Parl Harbor the air
lines in this country had 500
planes. Came Pearl Harbor. The
Armed Forces needed planes in
hurry. They took. from the
Commercial lines. The domestic
planes dwindled to l65.
The Army began turning
transport planes back TO the pri-
vate lines in the spring of 1943.
Now those lines have 374 but
need more.
The Army may let them have
more planes in order TO handle
the load of high priority passen-
gers winging back and forth
across country.
Before Pearl Harbor the COM
mercial planes were in the air
seven to eight hours out Of "a
