 ROBERT R. WASON, NAM president, estimated during testi- mOny before the Senate Banking Committee last Tuesday that the National Assn. of Manufacturers al- ready had spent $895,85 in its campaign against the OPA.
 Have you wondered where the money came from? A membership drive letter just sent out by Ira Mosher, NAM board chairman, gives pretty good idea. It points to NAM's 'fintensive nation wide campaign" against OPA, govern ment extravaganza" and ''inade- quate labor legislation"; then winds up with the suggestion: s'May I present your application for membership to our BOard?"
 The attached application blank lists dues as ranging from $50 for companies capitalized at less than $5O,OOO to $1O,OOO for concerns worth $l 100000 and over.

 OPA Suited Profits

WASHINGTON = CPD In answer to industry's claim that OPA had kept profits down, the U. 5. Department of Commerce released official figures showing that American corporations in l945 managed somehow to pile up profits of $2O, ,9OO.OOO (bil- Hons before taxes. After pay. ing their taxes, they showed profits that were only 70 be- low the l944 figure, and this with the heavy cancellation of VIE day.
 Figures compiled by the Com merce Department showed that corporate profits before taxes i'm l945 were l3% under the l944 total but .hat after taxes the difference was only 7% to total $9, HOO. 900.
 Not only did corporations make extremely high profits, but the government figures showed they salted away $2S billion in corporate savings from l941-45-''a sum that will per- init substantial volume of capi- tai expansion without resort to outside funds.

Moreover. current estimates of the Bureau of Labor Statistics in- dicate that at the peak of the hOus- ing program in l947 almost twice as many workers will be needed for nOn-residential construction as are now employed in that type of building.
 MORE Not LESS
 In other words, there will be more, NOT less, employment, building and investment in the heavy-constructio non-residential fields, Mr. Wyatt en- phasized. Fears that the limitation order signifies a stoppage of heavy construction building are unfounded and based on misunderstanding of the order and the building program
 ''The program calls for a great ly accelerated production of build ing materials" MT. Wyatt ex- plained. 'sWhile the bulk of this increased production will go into home building, some of it will go into essential non-residential con- structiOn.
 ''So, actually, the program will stimulate a larger volume of nOn- housing construction than we would have had without the program" . The effect of the limitation order, he explained, will be to screen out non-essential and deferrable conner cia1 and industrial construction such as night clubs, race tracks, motion picture theaters. On the other hand, materials and manpower will be made available to essential projects such as schools, hospitals, highways, streets, sewers and other utilities needed in support of the housing program as well as industrial plants producing needed materials or providing needed employment.
 Cites Labor Statistics
 MT. Wyatt cited latest Bureau of Labor Statistics employment figures both for or-site residential construc- ton and for all other construction Last month, BIS reported, 360,000 workers were employed on-site in home building and 8O0,00O were em- ployed on-site in all other new con- struction.
 By next September, expected peak month for 1946, the Bureau estimated that 975,OOO On-site workers will be required for the Wyatt home-building program and 9OO,O ,OOO for all other new con- struction. And at the I947 peak, !. I, 100000 will be needed for the Veterans Emergency Housing Pro-

EnsIavement Of Poles

By the Associated Press.


NUREMBERG, Feb. 9.-Adolf Hit
Ter envisaged the Germans as the
sole master of an enslaved Polish
people to be kept in perpetual igno-
rance, the Soviet prosecution de-
clared today at the war crimes trial
of former Nazi leaders.
Notes on conference on Oc-
tober 2, 1910, with Hitler taken by
his missing deputy, Martin Bor-
mann, who is being tried in alb
sentia, were submitted to the In
ternational Military Tribunal by
Col. Y. I. Pokrovsky, deputy Soviet
prosecutor.
One Master for Poles.
Bormann wrote that Hitler
stressed that there should be only
one master for the Poles-the Ger
mans" and that "all representa-
tives Of the Polish intelligentsia are
to be exterminated.
Hitler was quoted as saying the
Poles must not be raised to higher
level than that of laborers, for
they will become anarchists and
Communists priests will be
paid by us, and will in return
preach what we wish them to
preach. If any priest acts differ
emily we will make short work of
him. The work of the priest is to
keep the Poles quite stupid and
dullwitted
The lowest German workman and
the lowest German peasant must
always stand economically 10 per
cent above any Pole"
Mr.. Pokrovsky introduced also an
an official Czechoslovakian govern
ment report declaring Hitler planned
as early as 1882 to colonize the
Czecho-Moravian basin and deport
all Czechs to Russia.
Russians Get Greek Report.
Meanwhile, a report of the Greek
government on Nazi aggression and
atrocities in Greece was being trans
