That immense schools of blueflsh,
running up to five and six pounds,
now are feeding on the Jack Spot
off Ocean City, Md. is good news
to salt water anglers. The bonita
are on the same feeding grounds
and those fortunate enough to get
boats for the trip out are enjoying
rare sport. Party boats are scarce
at Ocean City. Many of those avail
able are booked almost solidly for
the season.
The official marlin season is sup
posed to open today, but in our
opinion it still Is a little early for
these scrappers. Down at Morehead
City. N. c., which has become a
'sportsmen's center in recent years,
the season is in full swing and boats
making the trip to the Gulf Stream
are returning with dolphin, amber
jack, cero, bonito, tuna and Spanish
mackerel. Sailfish have not been
reported.

NUREMBERG, Germany, Jan. 1s
A high Nazi official demanded the
h n ging of Cardinal l-designate
Count Clemens August Won Galen
the bishop of Muenster, in 1941, and
Martin Bormann agreed that a
death sentence was appropriate, >
secret papers of the missing Hitler
deputy disclose.
The demands were made after the
bishop In bitter denunciation of
Nazi mercy" killings told German
mothers their wounded sons return
ing from the battleflelds would be
destroyed like old horses gone
lame, or old cows gone dry" because
they no longer were productive.
Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph
Goebbels advised against hanging
the bishop, and it is not known to
have been ordered.
The bishop is one of three Ger
man prelates who will be elevated
to cardinals in Rome next month.
Obtained by DR.. Walsh.
The documents, which are the
property of the Catholic Church
include letters and minutes of a
conference between Bormann, Prop
aganda Minister Paul Joseph Goeb-
bells and Walter jTiessler, official in
the Nazi propaganda setup who
proposed the hanging. The papers
arrived here too late for use in the
war crimes trial, in which Bormann
is being tried in absentia.

the school of foreign service of
Georgetown University in Washing

secution to Justice Robert M. Jack

Passau Torch Slayer
Used s Gallons Of
Gas 10 Erase Clues
BY DANIEL DE LUCE.

hssociateu rfess roIelRn correspondent.
PASSAU. Germany, Jan. 49,
A powerful killer who used IS
gallons OF flaming gasoline in
attempts to destroy all clues to
his crime remained at large to-
night, II days after he hacked
three American Military Gov
ernment officers to death in an
elegant Danube River villa.
Army criminal Investigators who
escorted this correspondent through
the f1re-blackened wreckage of the
home once occupied by an S. S.
(elite guard colonel indicated that
all the available evidence bore out
these assumptions:
The slayer was man. The triple
crime was carefully premeditated
Some one familiar with the floor plar
of the villa, its furnishings and the
habits of its occupants was involved
in the murderous plotting.
Two Leads Are Fruitless.
Two leads ended apparently In
blind alleys today.
Investigators ascertained that 8
Polish prisoner who committed sui
eide in the Pearrkirchen jail last
Sunday had no burns on his body
such as might have been caused by
a gasoline explosion, and there was
no positive information linking him
with the Passau case.
The investigators asserted that
prolonged questioning of the attrac-
tive daughter of an elderly German
servant of the military government
was merely routine" She was
known to have been on cordial terms
with members of the Passau mill
tary government.
Coupterintelligence operatives were
said to be still questioning numerous
Germans.
These are most Of the verified
facts pieced together thus far by
Evening star., 1946-01-20

the squad of khaki-clad detectives:
Maj. Everett s. Cofran of WASH
ington, military Government COM
mander, who in private life was
city planner of wide recognition,
took two visiting friends from Re-
gensburg to an Army movie on
Sunday night, January 6. They
were Capt. Adrian L. Wesseler, New
Rochelle, N. Y, a legal officer, and
Town Maj. 1t. Stanley Rosewater,
Omaha, Nebr.
Later the three retired quietly
to the upper rooms of the villa.
Maj Hugo Hesson, Lexington,
KY, middle-aged agricultural ex-
pert temporarily serving with Mai.
Cofran, was asleep on the ground
floor.
A fierce fire broke out about 4:30
am. Monday in the upper floors.
When German flremen got the fire
under control, inspection showed
that IS gallons of gasoline, which
Maj. Cofran had stored on the
third floor, had been emptied in
Awakened by Fire.
Maj. Cofran and 1t. Rosewater
apparently died almost instantane-
ously in bed from knitting blows on
the skull, probably inflicted by
hatchet. Capt. Wesseler was
wounded fatally, with his forehead
dented as if by the blunt back of
hatchet.
Investigators said Mai. Hesson
told them he was awakened by the
fire and the heat turned him back
when he tried to climb the stair
way.
No German servants were accus-
toned to sleeping at night in the
villa. No object has been found
which could be identified as a
murder weapon. A Hungarian ma
val prisoner of war in a diving suit
searched for an entire day along
the rocky bed of the half frozen
river fronting the villa for such a
weapon.
The victims were buried In an
American military cemetery at Lux
embourg after an autopsy at Re-
gensburg.

Full Hearing on Trans Dispute
Favored by American DELEGATES

Mr.. Vishinsky's presence, it is be-
lieved, would speed up consideration
OF number of matters, among them
the nomination of secretary gen.
eral which must be accomplished
with the unanimous vote of the
Big Five, the permanent members of
the Council. Also it is expected that
with him will come military repre-
sentatives of Russia, making 1t pos
sible to begin the constitution of a
military staff committee of the Sc
curity Council preparatory to draft
ing quotas of armed forces to be
placed at the disposal OF the Coun-
Gil.
The administrative and budgetary
committee held a first meeting this
afternoon with two problems before
it, the pay of the secretariat and the
temporary plan for raising the nee
essary funds for running the UNO.
France today joined Britain, Bel
GUM, New Zealand and Australia
with offers to place certain terri
tories held by mandate after the
World War under the new trustee
ship system of the UNO. French
Foreign Minister Georges Bidault
told the assembly that his govern
ment is ready to consider UNO trus-
teeship for the French inundated
areas of Togoland and the Came
rooms in Africa. The string tied
to his offer was that the peoples of
these territories, who have been
given certain degree Of freedom,
must acquiesce in the proposal
The proposal by France and the
other nations holding mandates,
however, assures the early establish
ment of the system and of Trustee
ship Council, as provided in the
United Nations Charter The Trus-
teeship Committee of the Assembly
in which John Foster Dulles repre-
sents the United States, will meet
Monday.
France Welcomes Peace Farley.
Mr.. Bidault told the Assembly that
his country had believed the home
of the United Nations should be in
Europe, though it was not hostile
to the selection of the United States.
Europe. he said, Of all the continents
has been most sorely tried by war
and enemy occupation and its prob
lens are heavy. He expressed the
happiness of France to welcome the
peace conference slated for May,
but pointed out many European
nations are not represented in the
General Assembly.
Without mentioning Germany, he
said l3 European states with total
population of 150,000,000 are not
represented in the United Nations.
Europe" he continued, "has for
centuries traversed long and pain
full path. France dedicates its fra
ternal thoughts to these old travel
ing companions in suffering. She
addresses herself to all the peoples
of Europe either east or west of
Germany. The trials undergone by
nearly all these countries inspire
those who have never lost their con-
fidence to proclaim their facts in a
Europe at last reborn from the war
This organization will in this re-
spect have no stronger support than
that of nv country"

Nozis' PopersShow TheyFeored
To Hang Bishop of Muenster

Il explained to him that in my
opinion there could be only one ef-
fective measure, namely, to hang
the Bishop Of Muenster and that !
already had informed Reichsleiter
Bormann accordingly"
Restraint Urged BY Goebbels.
A second and more insistent plea
by Tiessler for the prelate's execu-
tion brought this reply from Bor-
mann:
"A death sentence certainly would
be appropriate. Considering the
state of the war, however, the
Fuehrer will hardly order such a
measure"
Goebbels counseled restraint
pointing out the position of power
held by the bishop in the commun-
ity, and arguing that it would be
better to wait until the war was over
to deal with the bishop and the
entire Catholic Church within the
Reich, the documents disclosed.
Tiessler noted that Goebbels paid
this tribute to the bishop:
THE population of Muenster
could be regarded as lost during
the war if anything were done
against the bishop, and I fear
that one could safely include the
whole of Westphalia."
Thwarted Arrest by Nazis.
DR.. Walsh told this story about
the Muenster prelate:
On one occasion 20 Gestapo hooli-
gans invaded the bishops quarters
intent on arresting him. As they
burst in he cried: only 20 of you! !!
I must be slipping"
Outside hundreds of the bishops
flock were waiting in the street.
III be with you in a moment" !"
the bishop told his would-be cap
tors, Il want my hat and coat"
He emerged clad in Episcopal
robes, with his inter on his head
and his bishops staff in his hand.
The Nazi did not dare to lead
him outside before his followers
under those circumstances.
They never attempted to arrest
him again." DR.. Walsh commented.

Systematic PiIIage
OF France Laid 10
Nazis al Nuernberq
BY the Associated Press.

NUREMBERG, Jan. 19. The
French prosecution, opening the
second phase of its case against
Nazi war leaders, charged today that
occupied countries were subjected to
a systematic pillage which extended
through all phases of their economic
life.
The economic case, which also
will deal with charges Of widespread
looting Of art works, was opened by
Charles Gerthoffer, chief of the
French prosecutions economic sec
ton. 1t began after Prosecutor
Jacques Bernard Herzog asserted
the German chieftains had adopted
policy of utilization of living
forces and determination of the un-
productive" in occupied countries.
Mr.. Gerthoffer will elaborate on
the economic phase of the French
case when the International Mill
tary Tribunal reconvenes Monday
Sauckel Chief Target.
Accusing all % defendants with
functional responsibility" for the
slave labor program in Western Eu-
rope, Mr.. Herzog asked conviction
on this count ito restore the dignity
OF human labor which the defend
ants attempted to degrade"
Fritz Sauckel, czar of the Nazi
forced labor program, was Mr.. Her
zogs chief target. He also singled
out for particular responsibility
Reichsmarshal Herman Goering
Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel, Eco
nomics Minister Walther Funk and
Munitions Minister Albert Speer
Mr.. Herzog said, however, that the
French held all the defendants
equally guilty.
He presented to the court a steady
stream of DEGREES and tother docu-
ments. All detailed methods the
Germans employed to bring millions
OF foreign workers into the Reich
to bolster Germany's strained war
economy with what Mr.. Herzog said
was an unconcealed intent to de-
plete for generations the able bodied
manpoWer OF neighbor nations.
Excessive Taxes, Heavy Fines.
Only the swift Allied advance dur
ing the latter days of the war kept
the Nazis from carrying out new
schemes for mass deportation of all
able-bodied men and women into
Reich munitions plants, Mr.. Herzog
charged.
The prosecutor said foreign work
ers 1were forced to work IL to 13
hours daily. Although they were
paid the same wages as Germans,
he continued, they were subjected
to excessive taxes and frequent
heavy fines.
MIR. Herzog submitted an esti-
mate IRON Prof. Henri Dessaile,
medical inspector general, which
said that at least $4,000 French
workers died in Germany after their
deportation. Some workers deemed
recdcitrant were thrown into re-
prisal camps or disappeared in DO
1ltlcal concentration camps, Mr..
Herzog asserted.
Sought to Hang Mayor.
Mr.. Herzog also charged that Ar
thur Seysz-Inquart, as gauleiter for
the Netherlands, issued DEGREES
which left the Nazis free to impose
virtually any penalty they chose on
youths who tried to evade forced
labor.
Sauckel, Mr.. Herzog said, sought
to hang the mayor or prefect of
one French town, merely to con-
vince Frenchmen they could not
evade forced toll. This proposal
was made when Sauckel became ir-
ritated with continued resistance of
the French to labor deportation, the
prosecutor said.
Todayis was the first Saturday
session since . the Christmas holi-
day.
