Chances for Negroes
In Business Stressed

Delegates attending the two-day
conference on THE Negro in Busi-
ness" were told today that colored
persons were not taking advantage
of many opportunities available to
them to go into business for them
selves.
A number of successful colored
businessmen told the meeting in the
Commerce Department, that the
colored community had failed to
develop its own business establish
ments commensurate with the size
of its population. .....
Another speaker, H. Naylor Fitz-
hugh of Howard University, revealed
that at the last count there were
only 1872 establishments in the Dis
trict owned by colored persons.
when you consider that Negroes
constitute about one-third of Wash
ingtons' population, this is ridicu-
lousy small number" said MI.
Fitzhugh.
He stressed that schools and COL
leges must aid in training persons
for business management by offer
ing short term business curricula.
During the conference, which ends
today, the $50 colored businessmen
and educators heard from Secretary
of Commerce Hartman and other
Commerce officials who pledged the
department would do everything
possible to aid Negroes in business

Arolsen denied today that UNRRA
Is trying to force displaced Poles to
return TO Poland.
Answering charges by officials OF
the Polish American Congress, the
spokesman said complaints against
conditions at displaced persons
camps should have been directed at
the United States Army, sinde
the Army is responsible for the feed
ing, clothing and housing of dis
placed persons, for their move
ment, repatriation and classification.
UNRRA administers the camps, con-
ducts welfare work and provides
some medical services.
To charges that UNRRA opposed
licensing of camp newspapers not
approved by representatives OF the
Warsaw government, the spokesman
said that such licensing was ham
Efiled by the military governments
information control division and
that UNRRA had no jurisdiction.
He said Polish liaison officers ap-
pointed by the Warsaw regime
acted in an advisory capacity on the
education of displaced Poles but
that these liaison men were accred
tied by United States Army head
quarters and sent to UNRRA CEN
tiers.

Patterson said the United States
"deplores" Yugoslavia's attitude in
contending that its forced labor
practices are civilized, and expects
that remedial m easures will
promptly be taken"
Officials here explained inform
ally that no strong action was
threatened in the Patterson note
because 1t is still hoped that
patient negotiation will result in
arrangements being worked out
to check on the validity Of the
American citizenship claims of the
persons involved and will bring
about their release.
One Permitted to Leave.
One such person about whom
specific protest was made last
August % was among 1l9 American
citizens permitted to leave Yugo-
slavia on October IL. officials said
That group was said TO be at Trieste
now, awaiting transportation to this
country.
The August 2s protest concerned
Kristian Hegel, naturalized
American citizen of German an
cestry. He had been held in a
Yugoslav concentration camp since
November Is, 1914. The American
Embassy in Belgrade was com
pletely at a loss to understand" why
he was held and forced to work as
a slave laporer.'
officials said he finally escaped
and got to the American En-
bassy. He was caught again by
the Yugoslavs. but permitted to
leave the country in line with
a Yugoslav promise to release
any persons of German ancestry for
whom this Government would vouch
as Americans.
"Check Up" Promised Embassy.
Not so lucky was Anton Klancar,
the subject Of another specific pro-
test on August 10. The American
Embassy in Belgrade asked the
Yugoslav Foreign Office then for
official information on report that
Mr.. Klancar was about to be trans
ported for forced labor" to Russia.
1t demanded immediate steps" to
prevent his deportation. The For
eign Office replied with protest
against such a way of acting by
the embassy ION vague and untrue"
reports, but promised to check up
on the case.
Nothing further has been heard
about Mr.. Klancar. and officials here
said they believe he is in Russia.
The State Department identified
him as born at Cleveland, Ohio, on
November %, 1919, of German an
cestry.
Names of Women Withheld.
Names of the two women claiming
American citizenship and reported
sent from Yugoslavia to Russia for
forced labor were not made public
Neither were those of the persons
taken to Russia from other coun-
tries.
Officials said those taken to the
Soviet Union from Romania, Hun
gary and Poland were among those
drafted" for labor by the Red Army
as it moved into those countries late
in the war. Most of them, except
those taken in Hungary, were per-
sons of German descent.
Their cases are being taken up
individually with the Soviet govern
ment, it was said, as information
becomes available. There have been

HEIDELBERG, Germany, Oct. 10.
Il hanged those 10 Nazis at Nuern-
berg and I'm proud of it.
That was a job that needed doing
for a long time. I did a good job OF
it, too. Everything clicked perfectly.
I've hanged BAT people in the last Is
years apd I never saw a hanging go
off any better. I'm only sorry Goer-
ing escaped. I wanted him espe-
cially.
I wasn't nervous. I haven't got
any nerves. A fellow can't afford to
have nerves in this business.
But this Nuremberg job was one I
really wanted to do. I wanted that
assignment SO bad I stayed over
here after I could have gone back
home just to do it. Those guys
really deserved hanging.
I'll say this for those Nazis,
though-they died like brave men.
Only one of them showed any signs
of weakening. When Frick was
climbing those 13 steps of the gal
lows one leg seemed to go bad on
him, and the guards had to steady
him.
They were all arrogant. You could
see they hated us. Old Jew-baiter
Streicher looked right at me when
he said "the Bolsheviks will hang
you, too, some day. And I looked
him back, right in the eye. They
can't bother me.
There's not much to tell about the
actual hangings. They went off just
like any routine hangings. Ten men
in 1O3 minutes. That's fast work.
Streicher Kicked a Little.
Only one of them even moved
after the drop. That was Streicher,
the one who shouted Hell Hitler
He kicked a little while. but not
long. Another one, Sauckel, think,
started to shout Hell Hitler" too,
after 1 put the hood over his head,
but 1 cut him off short with the rope.
I used a different rope and diff
ferent hood on each man. l fixed
the nooses and stretched the ropes
myself to make sure nothing would
go wrong.
The ropes and hoods were burned
up with the bodies, leaving nothing
for the souvenir hunters. Why. one
souvenir hunter from Havana, Cuba,
wired an offer of $4,000 for one of
those ropes.
1 want to put in good word for
those GIs who helped mo on that

as to Doves character.
According to police, Mr.. William
son entered an Engleside tavern on
route / with Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Witham. Shortly afterward, Mr.
Williamson went to a nearby booth
occupied by group of men and
protested the alleged use of pro-
family.
A fist fight between Dove and
Mr.. Williamson resulted in the lat
ter being knocked to the floor. He
never regained consciousness and
was pronounced dead at Alexandria
Hospital within an hour.
Dove, who also appeared at the
hospital for treatment of a lacerated
hani. was identified by Mr.. Witham
as the sssailant and was arrested.

not suspended, the defendant would
be unable to enter the Navy. Dove
responded that it might mean gen.
eral court-martial for him. At this
point the court inquired and received
assurances from Dove that the
Navy was informed of the case at
the time of enlistment.
Judge Brown commented that the
Navy probably would not hold a
court martial for an incident which
occurred before enlistment.
Attorney Arranged Enlistment.
Before the trial, Chief Defense
Counsel Wilson Farr said Dove en-
listed in the Coast Guard at 18 years
of age, had served during the war
and had seen duty in the Southwest
Pacific. He was honorably dis
charged Mr.. Farr said.
Although the Navy Department
told newspapers enlistments would
not be acceptable when the appli-
cant has charges pending against
him, Mr. Farr said he had arranged
for Doves enlistment through a
Chief Mate Soper at the recruiting
Office in Washington.
Dove was indicted by the Fairfax
grand jury on a charge of murder
following the fist fight at an Engle-
side tavern. At his first appearance
in Circuit Court, Mr.. Marsh reduced
the charge to assault and battery
and explained all the evidence he
had obtained would not support a
stronger charge.
Two COntinuances Granted.
Two continuances have been
granted by the court prior to today
after defense attorneys asked for an
opportunity for Dove to enlist in the
service.
1t is this aspect of the case that
has aroused large number of Fair
fax County residents.
Mr.. Marsh said yesterday that If
he had known of the widespread in
terest in the case he would have
sought to have it tried by a jury,
providing the defendant did not ex-
ercise his right of waving a jury
trial. He said, nevertheless, he be-
lieves he has all of the evidence
and the lesser charge of assault is
all that the evidence will support
The citizens letter, on the con-
trary, contends that States wit
nesses have not been fully heard
Before the case was called in Cir
cult Court September 26, the citizens
said, ''ruInors circulated in the
neighborhood of Engleside that wit
nesses need not appear be-
cause the case was settled"
Consequently, the letter continues,
only three States witnesses attend
ed the hearing. They said character
