ing readmission to the United States

Mobilization Subcommittee.

Maj Gen. John H. Hilldring,
director of the Civil Affairs Division
of the War Department, advised the
subcommittee that the list repre-
sents only a fraction of total Nazi
party membership outside of Ger
many. The American Army, he ex-
planned, found the Nazi party card
files in the American zone of occu-
patton, photographed them on
microf1lm and shipped them to
Washington. The general said 20
tons of Nazi party records had been
taken by the Army. Officials said
more than tWo-thirds of the names
made public today were listed as
from the New York area, the bal
ance being scattered throughout the
Nation. Many names were said to
have been handwritten and illegible
and were omitted from today's list.
The War Department said it does
not vouch for their accuracy.
