10000 Americans
Freed From Camp in
Good Physical Shape
BY EDWARD ID. BALL.


WITH THE UNITED STATES
14th ARMORED DIVISION, May /.
In high spirits, $4,000 Americans,
half of them air forces officers, al
most mobbed 14th Armored Division
tankmen today in one of the widest
liberations ever witnessed in Ger
many.
The Americans were among 130,-
900 Allied MISUNDERSTANDING 81
high-ranking officers-freed at Sta
lag IA and in the towns around
Moosburg, where the Germans had
the biggest concentration of pris-
oners in Germany.
In contrast to the starvation con-
ditions prevailing in the other lib
Grated camps, the prisoners in the
Moosburg area for the most part
were in good physical condition.
This was due to the presence among
the prisoners of a number of Allied
officers, including many colonels.
Another factor contributing to
their Well-being was the nearness OF
Switzerland, from which the Inter-
national Red Cross was able to pro-
vide food parcels without encounter
ing too great transportation diff
culties.
Morale Reported High.
At Stalag IA in Moosburg, where
81 900 prisoners, including 1881
Americans, were kept, there were
ITS, 1000 Red Cross food packages on
hand when the camp was liberated.
Morale was kept at high pitch at
Stalag IA by the strict discipline
enforced by the camp commander,
Col. Paul r. Goode of Corvallis,
Greg, and his staff. They had the
camp thoroughly organized, with
each man doing daily tasks.
Inspections were held on Satur-
days. Each officer and man was re-
quired to turn out freshly shaved
and bathed and with his hair prop
erly cut. Personal cleanliness was
reflected in the well-kept but crowd
ed barracks, which also were closely
policed under Col. Goodies direc-
ton.
The Germans treated us very
good, considering that they are
goons," Col Good said. Coon is
prison lingo for all Germans.
Stalag IA held Allied prisoners
from every campaign on the conti-
nent and North Africa. There were
American and British airmen who
had participated in virtually every
air raid of this war. About so per
cent of the liberated prisoners of
the entire 10000 in the Moosburg
area were airmen.
With the freeing of the camps
around Moosburg most Americans
captured by the Germans now are
believed liberated. The Germans
began concentrating prisoners in
this area after the Russian break
through in Poland.
A vast poison gas depot with
$4,000 case bombs was captured
along with depot officers and per-
sonnel farther east near Neder
Leierndorf, l3 miles south of Re-
gensburg.

bell and was escorted to the second

An official of the State Depart

Senor Mateos referred.
Capt Weber then asked the
| Spaniards to leave because they
didn't have a State Department
permit"
The only subsequent police action
according to Col Kelly, was to make
an official report which was sent
to the State Department and to
assign two police to the Embassy
detail on every shift.
Government officials weren't sure
whether the Spaniards were acting
legally or illegally. 1t is diplomatic
procedure, it was said, for the pro-
tecting power to make an inventory
and as long as the Spaniards were
the protecting power, they were act
ing legally. Once they severed re-
lations with Japan, however, there
might be some question of the legal
ity of the expedition, it was pointed
out.
1t was pointed out that no govern
ment has been taking care of Jap
interests here since Spain broke with
Japan and so it was to the interest
of this Government to protect the
property to prevent Japan from find
ing an excuse to rif1e the American
Embassy in Toxic.
The Spaniards, it was emphasized,
were entirely courteous throughout
the incident and no official repri-
mand has been given them.

White House Report
Recommends Use Of
Forced German Labor

I, The use of forced" German labor
to dig coal in her mines and to
clean up mine fields in France, Bel
gium and the adjacent seas, where
agriculture, shipping and fishing
are severely restricted" by the pres
ence Of these death-dealing devices,
was urged today as an American
policy.
Reporting on a survey of the
needs of liberated areas undertaken
in February at the behest of the
late President Roosevelt, Judge
Samuel I. Rosenmen told President
Truman that coal is one of the
most important keys to recovery in
Northwestern Europe"
His comment on the use Of
forced German labor attracted par
ticular attention because this policy
strongly advocated by the So
viet-is opposed by the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. Shortly
before digest of the Rosenman re-
port was issued last night, William
Green AFL president, told neWsmen
after White House visit the fed
Grafton views on slave labor" would
be communicated to the San Fran
cisco Conference.
In discussing the fuel situation,
Judge Roseman said that meeting
even minimum" requirements for a
year or more after We day will be
impossible. Mining equipment, sup
plies for the labor and production of
electric power are some of the other
elements that must be considered in
obtaining coal, he explained.
In addition. Judge Rosenman said,
the United States should see what
it can do in the way of furnishing
supplemental supply of coal. for
the lack of coal is of gravest po-
litical and economic concern"
The needs of Northwest Europe's
liberated areas are grave not only
from a humanitarian aspect, but
because they involve internal and
international political considera-
tlons." the report said.
The future permanent peace OF
Europe depends largely on restora-
ton of the economy of these coun-
tries, including a reasonable stand
ard OF living and employment.
United States economy, too, will be
deeply affected unless Northwest
Europe again resumes its place in
the international exchange of goods
and services. Furthermore, chaotic
and hungry Europe is not fertile
ground in which stable. democratic
and friendly governments can be
reared.
The report said highest level de-
ciSiOnS must be made Immediately
as to the extent, If any" to which
restored German production will be
channeled to liberated countries. A
suggestion also was offered for the
transfer of machinery from Ger
many to other sections.
1t was also urged that military
responsibility for the civilian econo-
my of the liberated countries "be
terminated as soon as practicable"
and that the Liberated Areas Com
mittee, an interdepartmental group
composed Of representatives of in
terested agencies, should be in
charge of administration. UNRRA's
supply activities in Northwest Eu-
rope were described as compare
lively unimportant."
These liberated countries, the re-
port continued, are not yet ready to
discuss the question of financial as
sistance needed for rehabilitation.
