Camp Doctor AssaiIed
Al u. 5. Guards S Trial
On Cruelty Charges
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Feb. 6-Lt. Leonard w
Ennis, former officer at the Lichfiels
detention depot, told an American
court-martial yesterday that really
sick" former combat men impris.
oned at the camp were given castor
oil, returned to the stockade anc
forced to do strenuous calisthenics.
The Peekskill On. W man was
testifying at the 47th day of the
trial of Sergt. Judson H. Smith
Cumberland, KY, the first of nine
soldiers and two officers, including
himself, to be tried on charges OF
cruelty to camp inmates.
1t. Ennis said many men at the
camp still were suffering from
wounds and believed they had not
received sufficient medical treat
ment. He said they were reluctant to
return to duty because they feared
they could not do the job"
Camp Doctor Assailed.
Asked if he had not consulted
Capt. Rudolph E. Warnecke, former
camp doctor, 1t. Ennis replied:
What was the good of my taking
1t up with him? When so or so men
would go on sick call, all they would
get was dose of castor OIL"
R testified that on one occasion,
he telephoned the camp doctor about
treatment for a beaten prisoner and
was asked: "Are you sure he didn't
fall downstairs?"
1t. Ennis said Capt. Warnecke was
aware that the prisoners were beaten
at the camp and once told him
some OF the men need it."
Asked If he had spoken to the
post chaplain and other officers
tbout mistreatment, 1t. Ennis re-
piled:
They didn't give a damn. The
only thing they were interested in
was running their tea parties on
Tuesdays and their dances on Satur-
days."
DlScuSSed Irlal.
1t. Ennis said that after reading
accounts of the court-martial, he
discussed the trial with Col. James
A. Killian, Highland Park, ILL.,, for
mer camp commander. He said Col.
Killian told him:
They are not trying to get you,
Ennis. They are trying to get me-"
Asked why he gave only restricted
evidence when he appeared in court
previously, he replied: ST wanted
to see what kind of evidence was
to be given. When I came back
from America all the other officers
were telling me there was nothing
to worry about, and while they were
patting me on the back, they were
building up their case against me.
Il met Col. Killian at the officers
club when I went in for a drink
with young lady. Col. Killian
said: 'Ha, ha, Ennis, it looks as if
it has landed in your lap
II replied, TT will be in yours
pretty soon.'"
Reminded that he was charged
with cruelty offenses, 1t. Ennis was
asked if he expected his superior
officers "to come to court and stand
by YOU"
"If they are Army officers, they
should" he replied.

Chinese Communists
Surround Harbin, Say
They Will Seize City
Government Spokesman
Declares Munchurion
Situation Very Crave
BY the Associoted Pres.

CHUNGKING, April 2O.-Chi-
nese Communists encircling Har-
bin declared today they intended
to seize that North Manchurian
metropolis, which the govern
ment indicated it would not even
try to defend.
A government spokesman said the
situation in Central Manchuria was
very grave" now that Communist
troops have taken Changchun, the
capital, $50 miles southwest of
Harbin.
A Communist spokesman warned
that the encircling troops would
seize Harbin when the Russian army
pulls out next Thursday "if status
of civil war still prevails in Man.
churia."
That would give Gen. George C.
Marshall, special American envoy to
China, only five more days to work
out truce first between the warning
factions.
Holding Continuous Parleys.
Gen. Marshal was in almost con-
tinuous conferences with both gov
ernment and Communist officials. He
had not scheduled a meeting of his
Truce Committee of three, which
earlier this year worked out an arm
istice for the rest of China outside
Manchuria.
A government spokeman charged
that Communist irregulars already
were infiltrating Harbin. He said the
government had no army forces, in
Harbin-only civil officials.
Unofficial dispatches reach
ing Pelping said the officials had
fled to Mukden by plane.)
He also reported that Communist
resistance was stiffening as the gov
ernment's American-equipped 1st
Army pressed northward from Szep-
klngkai toward Changchun.

Government and Communist
sources finally agreed that the 1st
Army had by-passed Szepkingkai-
important railway junction midway
between Mukden and Changchun-
although the governments own
Central News Agency previously had
claimed the 1St Army captured it.
A Communist military spokesman
estimated that the 1st Army still
was about go miles from Chang
chun.
Before the 1st Army can expect
to reach the capital, however, it
must overcome extensive Com
munist defenses around Kungchul-
ing, 30 miles southwest of Chang
