Fritsch and B|omberq
by Goering in
1888, Court Is Told
Details of Nuzi Shukeup
In German Army Given by
Former Gestopo Officer
By the Associated Press

NUREMBERG, April 25.-A
former German secret police Of
fetal declared today that Her
mann Goering engineered frame
ups in 1888 which resulted in the
dismissal of both the Reich war
minister and the army's chief of
staff-"the decisive last steps
before the outbreak of war"
Hans Bernd Gisevius, one tins
FGestapo officer, testified before the
International Military Tribunal that
Goering had compelled a common
criminal to identify Col. Gen. Wer-
ner Won Fritsch, the army's chief
of staff, as the perpetrator of an
atrocious homosexual attack.
The dramatic denunciation of Won
FritSch, whom the German moder-
ates had regarded as the man to
overthrow the Nazis, was made in
Adolf Hitler's presence, the tall, be-
spectacled witness asserted, nine
days after Goering's own agents
had established that the actual cul-
prit in the case was one Capt. Won
FriSch.
Hitler Given Files on Bride.
Gisevius, who testified yesterday
that he plotted against the Nazis
for 10 years while serving in various
police jobs, declared that Goering
knew in advance that elderly Field
Marshal Werner Won Blomberg, the
War Minister. had fallen in love
with 28-year-old carpenters
daughter, but withheld the infor-
nation until after the Fuehrer had
been induced to attend the wedding
After the wedding, Gisevius said,
Goering gave Hitler police files
showing that Won Blomberg's bride
had been a prostitute registered in
seven large German cities: she was
in the Berlin rogue's gallery for I
myself have seen the pictures and
fingerprints, and she had been pun
ished for distributing pornographic
pictures.
On scanning the files, the witness
continued. Hitler suffered nerv-
GUS breakdown and decided to dis
miss Won Blomberg Immediately"
GiSevius said the Berlin Police
Court president, Count Graf He'll
dorf, was reluctant to turn over the
files on the woman. to Heinrich
Himmler, because he realized sit
would put the armed forces in an
impossible position and Himmler
could use it to finish off Blomberg." :"
Keitel Tried to Hush Scandal.
Helldorf first took the files to
Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel, who
succeeded Won Blomberg and who
was remotely related to him, and
Keitel insisted that he cover up the
entire scandal" Gisevius declared
Then, he went on. Keitel asked that
the files be sent to Goering.
Goering heard the testimony with
his face drawn in hard, grim lines
Keitel smiled and slightly shook his
head in the negative when his name
was mentioned.
Gisevius said Hitler first intended
to name Won Fritsch as Won Blom-
berg'S successor in the War Min
istry, "but Goering and Himmler re-
minded him that was impossible be-
cause Won Fritsch was badly in

Combined UnionPIans
Drive for D. T.. and
Federal Employees
Group Will Consider
Proposed Constitution,
No-Strike Proviso
By Joseph Youno
Sior Stoff Correspondent

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j.. April
25.-Officials of the new CIO civil
service union today revealed plans
for drive during the coming year
to add $4,000 Federal and municipal
workers to its membership, includ-
ing school teachers, firemen and
other employees of the District of
Columbia government.
The new union, which will choose
its name today, boasts membership
now in excess of 10000. In an at
tempt to carry out its program,
which would make it the largest
civil service union in the country,
the organization plans to double it's
present staff of 30 national or
ganiZers.
The merger Of the two groups,
formerly the United Federal Workers
of America. and the State, County,
Municipal Workers of America, has
started the union on its way with a
substantial financial reserve, union
leaders said. A large share of the
money will be used to increase the
staff Of organizers, who will con-
centrate on the Washington and
key municipalities throughout the
Nation.
School Personnel Added.
Before the amalgamation, SCMWA
had approximately $4,000 members,
while UFWA had about 10000
UFWA had the smallest member
ship among the three major Federal
employees unions 1t had only about
II organizers while SCMWA had 18.
UFWA recently turned it's at
tention to District of Columbia en-
ployes, and its officers told the con-
vention yesterday that it has signed
up about 600 employees in the Dis
trict school system within the last
three months. Other District gov
ernment employees are members of
the union, but officials concede it is
"a negligible number" They said
they expected to make definite in
roads during the next year.
While the District government
workers will come in for their share
of attention, union leaders empha-
sized an intensive campaign will be
waged to sign up employees in the
various Federal agencies. The
unions key organizers will be as
signed to this job, it was said.
Meanwhile, the convention awaited
the speech this afternoon of Philip
Murray, president of the CIO. Mr.
Murray is expected to outline what
aid the CIO will give the new COM
bined union.
To Consider Constitution.
The convention was also expected
today to start discussion on the
proposed constitution drawn up by
its Executive Committee One of the
proposed provisions contains the
statement that lit shall not be the
policy of this organization to en-
gage in strikes as a means of achiev-
ing its objectives* This was one of
the features of UFWAs constitution
However, the new constitution con-
tains a clause which might con-
ceivably leave the door open for
strike action, although this is con-
sidered unlikely ever to happen.
The "loophole" clause states that

McNarney Institutes
Stiff Measures 10 Halt
Decline in Discipline
Busy Troining Schedules
And Curfew for Men With
Bod Records Included
By the Associated Press

FRANKFURT, April 25.-Rig-
erous measures to combat a de-
terioration of discipline among
American troops in Europe-in-
Guiding busy training schedules
for all and an II pm. curfeW for
soldiers with bad conduct rec
ords-Were ordered today by
Gen. Joseph T. McNarney.
The European commander in
chief, admitting that morale and
discipline have declined seriously
within the last few months, told a
news conference he had issued Or
ders that prompt corrective meas
ures must be taken to remove the
cause, deal swiftly and justly with
the offenders and limit and prevent
any future occurrences"
Plenty of Drill Recommended.
Earlier. Army medical officers
had recommended that the troops
be given plenty of work on the drill
field as one means of fighting an
excessive venereal disease rate.
Maj Claude NJ Eberhart of Chi
cago, venereal disease control Of
fcer for the European Theater
proposed that all major commands
in Europe return to garrison life
and it's strict discipline to fight
venereal disease, which he said now
averages 211 cases per thousand
men per year.
(In Washington, the Surgeon
Generals Office said the venereal
disease rate is computed on the
basis that within a year an aV-
erage of 211 of 1000 men con-
tract the disease-not that oil
have it at one time)
Gen. McNarney, in his orders yes
terday to tighten discipline, listed
the excessive venereal disease rate
as one indication of deteriorating
CT morale and discipline. Maj
Eberhart said the annual rate rose
from So cases per thousand on We
day to highs of 427 per thousand
in some areas.
Discipline Is Alternative.
There is, however, no guarantee
that the rate won't continue tc
rocket Maj. Eberhart said. Food
shortages, as they grow worse, will
increase the promiscuity of girls
who will become more willing to
sell themselves for chocolate bars
and the necessities of life which
soldiers can provide.
"One of the few alternatives" he
continued, lis to enforce Army
discipline, with emphasis on drills
reviews, parades. tightening of
courtesy and general discipline, and
a Redistribution of military calls, such
as retreat and reveille.
This will not only keep the idle
soldier off the streets but will give
him pride in being a soldier. Right
now many soldiers have no pride
and men without pride don't care
with whom they sleep"
Maj. Eberhart said the venereal
disease rate, which climbed sharply
after We day, dropped slightly in
September as a result of an educa-
tional program and redeployment
but then began to skyrocket again
Something had to be DONE" he
asserted. so the Army made peni-
cillin available to German VD clin-
les and vice squads went into action

EISENHOWER REPORT

es of the European war now released by the war de- parmen for public reading and appraisal sets the cord straight a number of things-incuding the claims advanced in behalf of Soviet Russia the sole architect of the Allied victory.
 It has been the persisent-and too persuasive e-ha- bit of the American advocates of Russian appeaSment since the end of the to argue that whatever moral fault might be found in Russa's postwar policies, it had to be remembered that but for Russia would have lost the
 This has always seemed preposterous claim to the American people, knowing they did the manner in which the victory was actually achieved In Western Europe but the Allied forces of which the American forces were the principal part and of which the Rus sian forces part whatever.
 The Eisenhower report exposes 1t as a completely and deliberately fraudulent claim.
 General Eisenhower discloses that far from being the sole the principal architect of European victory Russia in fact obstruction and inn pedment to victory throughout most of the critical stage of the campaign in the West.
 It will be recalled that the first American landings made on the Normandy coast in June of 1914.
 It was of vital importance to General Eisenhower to know at that time, and throughout the ensuing paign the full details of the concurrent and contem plated Russian campaign in the East-because only with that knowledge could he accurately estimate the strength of the German resistance he would encounter and dispose his forces advantageouSy.
 Nevertheless, General Eisenhower did not have that information, and he compelled to conduct his paign in the West without it for nearly seven months
 up to the end of 1914" he now reports 'I had received information matters affecting the Rus sian grand strategy, although had expressed my willingness to afford any such information concerning my overall plans the Red army might desire ,
