The W ashington
Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
ut. Col. Robert 8. Alien now on acti'
service with the ARMY


WASHINGTON = Officials are
keeping very mum about it. but
the entire question of using Ger.
man prison labor to rebuild Russia
and France has been thrown into
a controversy by secret opinion
rendered by Supreme Court Justice
Robert Jackson, who has taken
over U. S. prosecution of war
criminals
Justice Jackson wrote his opinion
to u, S. Preparations Chief Ed
Pauley, stating that in his opinion
compulsory German labor should
not be used to rebuild France and
Russia unless they have been con-
victed of war crimes.
1T is not my business what is
to be done with reparations,' Jack
son wrote, but this would largely
destroy the moral position of Am
erica in this war. . Z. Compulsory
labor" he continued, should be
required only for convicted war
criminals"
jackson went on to point out
that German labor drifting out of
Russian concentration camps in the
future would tell tales of horror
which, even if exaggerated, would
arouse sharp condemnation in the
United States" He urged, there
fore, that German labor not be
used for reparations until they
had been convicted Of war crimes.
He indicated that members of the
Gestapo and the SIS Elite Guard
undoubtedly we're war criminals as
a class, but that every member of
the Nazi Party might not be
classified as war criminal.
ED PAULEY HESITATES
Following Justice Jackson's bomb
SHE'LL a hurried meeting was called
in Secretary. Morgenthau's office,
attended by Ed Pauley, Assistant
Secretary of State viii Clayton,
the Army, Navy, FEA, and other
interested government agencies
Secretary Morgenthau vigorously
protested this sew development 1t
was pointed out by some that the
use of German prisoner labor had
been agreed to at Yalta by Presi-
dent Roosevelt himself and, there
fore, could not be changed.
IF we have to wait for the con-
viction of all these war criminals
before we can get German labor
suggested Preparations Chief Pauley,
I'VE may have to wait a year
Meanwhile, there may not be
enough Germans to repair the
damage in France and Russia"
Pauley also made the point that
he had been charged by the Presi-
dent with the handling of repara-
tions and, therefore, would have to
make the final decision himself
after his arrival in Europe. After
further discussion, however, Pauley
agreed to accept Justice Jacksons
opinion in principle, namely, that
only convicted war criminals could
be used as prisoner labor. This
leaves the whole question pretty
much up in the air.

When that Red Cross solicitor
comes to you, give all you can, which
brings to mind the report that Mrs.
LLOYD Cook, supervisor of knitting of
this community on the work turned
in as follows: Sweaters, Mrs. B. f.
Sclby, Oakland, one; Ruth Wood, one;
Mrs. Nettie j. Echelberger, five and
wrist stump socks; Mrs. NJ. L. Cal
houn, four wrist stump socks. These
stump socks are badly needed, accord
to Mrs. Cook. Somehow the word
stump" makes a cold chill go up the
spine. It's not a pleasant thought as
we think of why stump socks in great
numbers are needed. Maybe if we all
gave what we could, OF more, to the
Red Cross, it might help to Danish
some of that chill SO remember the
