of the trial, but added, "I could not
fight entirely in the way might
have wished. British procedure is
different, and I am prisoner of
war. My freedom of movement is
limited and therefore I could not
put forward all the evidence I could
have had I been a. free man"
"Victim of Chain of Command"
Col. Wolfgang Christ, who de-
Tended Maeltzer, said, II cannot
believe the court found him a
bloodthirsty murderer - He is
victim of the misfortune OF the
chain of command"
C. L. Sterling, bewigged judge
advocate of the tribunal, announced
that both the verdict and sentence
were subject to confirmation by
higher military authority" in this
case 1t. Gen. John Harding, COM
mander of British forces in the
Mediterranean theater. Presum-
ably, carrying out of the sentence
will not occur until confirmation OF
the sentence takes place.
Earlier in the final summation to
the five-man military court Mr..
Sterling evoked final, stark vision
of the massacre in the caves, near
the Appian Way and now a scene
of an annual pilgrimage on the an
niversary of the slayings:
"Fourteen-ye year-old boys, old men,
335 persons with their hands tied
behind their backs, with no time to
make peace with their Maker, with
no time to say goodbye to their
relatives and friends. no time to
settle their affairs, were led five at
a time into the caves, were made
to kneel down and the life was shot
out of them.
THAT is a picture which might
well call for retribution."

U. n. Tells South Africa
And India 10 Agree
By ihs Asseeiuied Prs.s

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y, Nov. 3d.
A United Nations committee today
held that the treatment of Indians
in the Union Of South Africa was
impairing the relations between
India and the Union Government
and called on the two governments
to attempt to iron out their diff
ferences sby direct negotiations.
Overrlling South African con-
tentions that the question was one
Of purely domestic concern and,
therefore, did not come under Unit
ed Nations jurisdiction, the joint
Political and Legal Committee Of
the General Assembly voted "a
to 10 to recommend renewed con-
situations between the two govern
ments.
The decision brought to an END
a lengthy and sometimes bitter de-
bate, growing out OF India,s COM
plant that the Union Government
was unjustly discriminating against
the thousands of Indians who once
had gone to South Africa as in
dentured laborers.

Won Mockensen, MoeItzer Given
Sentence Of Death by Shooting
Two German Generals
Are Found Guilty of
Rome Cuves Massacre
BY the Assoe,otsd Press

ROME, Nov. 80. Death before a
firing squad was ordered today by
la British military tribunal for two
German generals found guilty of the
reprisal massacre of 1886 Italians in
Rome's Ardeatine caves little more
than two months before triumphant
Allied troops liberated the Eternal
City in 1914.
Col. Gen. Eberhard Won Macken-
sen, commander Of the German 14th
Army which fought at Anzio beach
head, and 1t. Gen. Kurt Maeltzer,
head of the Rome garrison, received
the verdict calmly.
Won Mackensen, in black civilian
suit, and Maeltzer, in the uniform
of the GermanssAir Force, merely
nodded their heads sas the transla-
tor informed them they would be
shot to death.
The court decreed the firing squad
after the counsel for Won MackenSen
asked that he be granted "the clean
death of soldier-death through
shooting" Such plea was spurned
for the top Nazis tried before the
International Military Tribunal at
Nuremberg.
The courtroom audience, which
had been cautioned against any DEM
onstration, received the news OF the
sentence in silence except for an
aged woman who merely murmured,
Giraffe" (thanks).
Relatives In Courtroom
But when the defendants were led
out cries of "Bravol" and thunderous
applause broke from the spectators,
who, during the trial, had hurled
shouts of "Assassin!" and ITO
death!" at the two generals.
Some in the room were relatives
of the Roman hostages who were
shot to death with their hands TIED
behind their backs on March "a,
1914, in reprisal for the ambush OF
80 German police troops. Rome was
liberated by the Allies on the fol-
lowing June 4.
Before the court retired to de-
liberate on sentence, but after II
had pronounced the guilty verdict,
it heard a request for mo Glenn
ency" for Won Mackensen.
Gen. Richter Hans Keller, who
was legal adviser for Field Marshal
Albert Kesselring, German COM
mander in Italy, told the court Il
have lost this fight, and now make
a special demand on behalf OF Won
Mackensen: No clemency.
1.-THE slogan of every officer who
loses his honor is: When honor is
lost everything is lost You could
not save him from dishonor. Grant
him the clean death of a soldier
death through shooting"
Gen. Keller said, 1--WE cannot
agree that this verdict is right
one" and complained that you
British officers are not able to un-
derstand us German officers en-
tirely."
He acknowledged the fairness"

Mexico which cited that relations
between India and South Africa
were impaired, that treatment Of
Indians in South Africa should be
"in conformity with international
obligations under the agreements
between the two governments" and
asking that the two governments
report to the next Assembly ses-
sion measures taken to that effect.
