HITLER'S MASTER
PLAN SUCCEEDED
Enlarged German Popula-
tion, Reduced Birth-Rate
Of Other Countries

LONDON, April 14-R}-AdoN
Hitler was entirely successful In
his master plan for enlarging the
German population, Hquidating Eu-
ropean Jewry, and reducing the
birthrate in non-German countries.
The first comprehensive account OF
the results Of the war disclosed to-
night.
In 14-page report based on Of
fetal Allied documents and captur-
ed German files, the international
committee for the study of Euro
pean questions said that while Hit
ler was successful in his plans for
internal Germany, the Allied vic
tory defeated his intention to estab-
lish surplus Germans in occupied
territory.
The report disclosed that under
Hitler's ''breed for the fatherland''
campaign, Germany's population
increased 1866, 900 during the first
seven years of his regime.
It added that Hitler, in seeking
to reduce the birthrate in non-Ger-
man countries, was able to keep
II 1000, 900 to IL, 10000 men and wo
men separated from normal mar
riage relations for five years, and
was Successful to large extent
in lowering the population in coun-
tries neighboring Germany.
More than 100000 Jews, the re-
port said, were iquidated by the
Germans so that ''the greater part
of the Jewish population in Europe
has been wiped out since 1885,"
DR.. Robert Borel, of France,
secretary-general of the committee
founded IS months ago by interest
ed scientists, diplomats and educa-
tors to study European questions.
said information gathered from Al
lied government officials and per-
sonal surveys disclosed that ap-
proximately $4,000, 900 persons were
killed in Europe and Russia during
| the war.

NUREMBERG, April 14-W.R)-
Ernst Kaltenborn, confronted with
documents rusheA by air from
Vienna today impact ting him in
the mass murder of eastern Euro

any part and irritably charged
that the prosecution was trying to
frame him with circumstantial
evidence.

intelligence chief protested angrily
to the War Crimes court.

which arrived here today from
Vienna by plane and were taken
from the personal files of Baldur
Won Schirach, former Nazi youth
leader. The letters, reporting on

Kaltenbrunner's name on the dis.

disclaimed any knowledge of them.
''That such crimes were COM

what you have to prove. Mr.. Prose.

on them through intellectual, legis-

The petition signers are aroused

want some type of 'house-clean-
ing there. A few are even after
the scalp of Democratic chairman
Robert E. Hannegan himself. Rep.

caucus may ask President Truman
to "dismiss' Hannegan.

Scott expressed belief that any

It has always been difficult Tor me
to understand why the very organi-

of the country were shut down for
several weeks last spring because the
Iorcrators refused to conform to a
demand of this kind. Because OF a
loophole in the law, however, there
was nothing either the public or the

had the operators yielded, they
might have been in the unpleasant
predicament of having to- defend
themselves against a board com

scribed.

day, the conflict between the rights

interests of his union. Nor would
they have much impact on such
questions as the enforcibility OF col

proponents of the Case bill attempt
