ChinaTroops EayLeasing
 Complaints Letter
 Sent to Patterson
(By United Press)

American troops in China added their voices to the worldwide de- mobilization protests today with a demand that the U. s. Army stop what they called its policy of "lend- leasing" them to the Chinese Gov ernment.
 More than 400 soldiers, meeting in the Shanghai YMCA, addressed a letter to Secretary of War Robert F. Patterson claiming that unneces- sarily large numbers of American troops were being kept in China.
 The protest letter asserted that only a negligible number of Amer ican soldiers were being used for repatriation of Japanese. The recent sale of American equipment in West China to the Chungking Govern ment reduces the number of Amer jeans needed to guard surpluses, they claimed.
 No Right to Lend-Lease
 We contend that the Army has no moral right to lend-lease us to the Chinese Government" the let- ter said.
 The Shanghai group denounced a statement by Lt.-Gen. Albert C.. Wedemeyer, American commander in China, that personnel for a mili- tary advisory group would be voIun- tary. They said it was "evasive, de- ceptive and does not reflect actual conditions in the China theater."
 Wedemeyer recorded a speech for broadcast to his troops which ap- pealed to their sense of fair play and told them they were in China to do a job for their own country.
 To List Complaints
 A second Shanghai protest meet ing named a committee to present a written list of complaints to the senatorial committee headed by Sen. James M. Mead, (D.. N. Y), which is in Shanghai Investigating disposition of surpluses and ship ping.
 Patterson. at whom many of the soldier protests have been aimed. left Tokyo today for Seoul, Korea

Ida Tirendi of Waterbury will seek $25, 5,000 damages from the s. s. Kresge Company and the R. K. Brown Company, both of Water bury, as the result of injuries Sis- tained Sept. 5 in a fall through a trap door in front of the Brown Building on East Main street.
 Papers in the litigation, which will be instituted in Superior Court, have been drawn up by Attorney Alfred l.. Finkelstein and served by Deputy Sheriff Albert Francis.
 The plaintiff states in her com plaint that she was walking on East Main street and had stepped on one portion of the trapdoor when an employe of the Kresge company without warning opened the other portion.
 She states she was on the east erly leaf of the hatchway covering and was attempting to step onto the westerly leaf when it was open ed. She feli into the cellar under heath, the complaint states.
 Injuries listed include concus- sion of the brain, a sprain Of the right ankle, back sprs:n, and abra- sions to the forehead.
 The hatchway was located in front of the store occupied by Tseary the Florist and it was used by the Kresge Company, the court writ states.
 Negligence is charged against the owner of the building and the ten- ant for failure to maintain a guard rail near the trapdoor while it was opened, and for allowing it to be opened while pedestrians were walking on it. It is charged that no warning was given to pedestrians that the hatchway was being opened. It is alleged further that the defendants violated the city ordinance relating to trap doors.

sBig-IUigs' Accused
 SS Student Doctors Used Life for Tests

Nuremberg, Jan. 12.-(UP)-A CzechoSlovak surgeon told the In- teTnational War Crimes Court yes- terday that at least three of the NaI leaders now on trial were eye witnesses to the mass murders and atrocities committed at the Dachau concentration camp.
 The witness, Dr. Franz Blaha pointed an accusing finger at Saukel, Wilhelm Prick and Alfred Rosen- herg as he testified that all three were among the distinguished Visi- tors" who visited the Dachau hor- TOT camp during his forced stay there.
 Blaha said he saw both Prick and Rosenberg on their tours Of inspec- ton and that he knew from camp inmates that Saucek also visited Dachau and was aware of the atroci- ties committed there.
 Rosenberg Looks Guilty
 Prick waved his arms wildly at the accusation and tried to attract his counsel's attention. Sauckel shook his gleaming bald head from side to side in silent negation. Ros- enherg bit his lips and stared at the floor.
 Blaha testified that he was seized by the Nazis and forced to work for them in his Czechoslovak hospital at Jinlava. Later, he said, he was transferred to Dachau and assigned to the autopsy room at the camp hospital.
 He told the court that from 2,OOO to 5000 healthy camp inmates were killed in barbarous medical ex- periments conducted by the Nazi doctors at Dachau.
 Further Atrocities Described
 Blaha said one SS student doc tor in IS months performed 800 operations on healthy prisoners, many of whom died on the operat- ing table. Another group of 2O00 inmates was subjected to malaria. altitude and freezing tests in which l,200 of them died, he said.

.Merry-GO-R Round

Here Is the latest report on the inside dOlngs of the Ku Klux Klan.
 At secret meeting of Atlanta Klavern No. 1, on June 3, Grand Dragon Samuel Green spent most of his time denouncing Drew Pearson, Walter Winchell, The Atlanta Journal and The Atlanta Constitution The editor of the latter, Ralph McGtl, he referred to as "Rosenwald" McGill
 Grand Dragon Green, despite his hgh-soundng title, is obstetrican in private life, and does not look too imposing
 He takes his work most seriously, however, and seemed much agitated over the manner in which the Klan's activities had been uncovered.
 Tn order to counteract the criticism, the Grand Dragon proposed that the various Klaverns solicit contributions to pay for SO-minute nationwide hook-up over the Atlanta Journals Radio Station WISE in order to answer the Klans critics. To this end he appointed Klansnan Guiano as commit tee of one to make the necessary arrangements Green himself offered to put up any money neces- sary binder with the radio station.
 He proposed that the title of the radio talk be 'Klan Kraft, but that actually it should be devoted to an attack on Pearson, Ralph Jones, local col- umnist, and the two Atlanta newspapers. Meanwhile the Atlanta Journals campaign to remove Klansmen from the Atlanta police force has definitely got under the Kansmens skin. Local police chiefs have denied that any Klansmen are on the police force but the fact remains that II police in uniform were present at the June meeting, while pictures taken by Life Magazine on Stone Mountain clearly show the faces of other policemen who at- tended the Kan rally there.
 Meanwhile it looks as if some Klansnen were ducking for cover and that new membership had fallen off Only seven members applied at the June meeting with five new renstatements. This in contrast to 200 applicants at the previous meeting.
 Grand Dragon Green has advised that Klans- men law low and commit overt acts while the heat is on. The KIan question has had interesting repercus- SiOns on the Georgia Gubernatorial race with ex- Governor Gene Talmadge openly bidding for Klan support and Jimmie Carmichael boldly attacking It. Ex Governor Ed Rivers former Klansman him. self now running again, has kept a plssy-footers silence.
 Courageous Governor Ellis Arnall however, has left no one in doubt to where he stands. Jumping in with both feet Arnall has ordered his Attorney General to make thorough probe, and as result Dan Duke live-wire Assistant Attorney General who went after the Kan in 940 has been assigned to the job.
 Duke knows his Klan onions In l040 he ran the hooded order underground, forced them to take off their masks, and finally sent eight of them to Jail for fogging and terrorzing 63 citizens In and around Atlanta, two of whom were killed. Following their conviction, the Klan pulled wires with It's friend Governor Gene Talmadge to secure pardons for the eight But the enlightened editors and ministers of Georgia came to the support Of
