were $1,000 tons of badly needed
nails in an Army warehouse in At

piles in Charlotte, N, C. However,
he said that he did not verify this
statement by sight.
Planning mill operators, he re-

saw these mills turning out millwork
in great quantity. Practically every

great quantity in the South, he said.
Mr.. Brand said that he would

OF line all its other employment
statistics-there can be no reason
able doubt that in the Soviet several
million workers are employed under
police discipline and receive only
miserable keep for their labor.
The government makes every
effort to conceal the existence of
these camps. No foreigner or CORE
spondent is ever permitted to see
them. Correspondents accredited to
the country do not dare to tangle
with the censors and the NKVD
regarding this matter One Cana
dian newspaperwoman who sue
ceeded by vile in gaining entrance
to concentration camp was quickly
expelled from the Soviet Union. Our
information comes from those who
have escaped, from Russian writer's
now living abroad, from Americans
who have worked. lived or Travelled
In Soviet Russia, and from American
correspondents who were able to
write about the institution of forced
labor after they left the Soviet
Union.
The first correction labor camp
was established in 1923. They grew
rapidly in the 1905, when it was
apparently decided to keep most of
the 'liquidated' alive and working
for the state rather than to kill
them. The men and women-for
there are very large numbers of
women among them-work on rail-
ways, highways and canals, cut tim
Der, mine metals and minerals, fill
swamplands, help on large construc-
ton projects and open up new areas
for settlement. Some are segregated
in barracks and work in heavy
industries.
The population of these camps
was drawn from political offenders,
nonconforming engineers and intel
lectuals, kulaks, recalcitrant peas
ants. former industrial and other
officials, and deviating Communists
of the right and of the left. They
are exiles who are sent thousands of
miles from the towns or villages of
their birth. In later years the re-
serve of forced labor was increased
by national groups believed to be
hostile and populations residing
along the many borders Of the Soviet
Union in Europe and Asia"

Free Germany Committee has no

UNRRA Training Center Closes
After Graduating $500

After instructing more than $500
men and women for service with
the United Nations Relief and Re-
habilitation stations throughout the
world, the UNRRA training center
here, only one of its kind, closed
today.
Harold E. Snyder, director of train
ing, said the center was set up
two years ago when it was recog-
nized that thorough training for
the carefully selected personnel was
basic to the success of UNRRA. The
center was established on the Mary
land University campus May l, 1914
Last December facilities there be-
came overcrowded, mainly because
of veterans returning to the uni
versity, Mr.. Snyder said, and the
training center was transferred to
the building at 1706 New Hamp-
shire avenue NV.
Recruiting Curtailed.
UNRRA now has all the personnel
required to carry out its program
of procuring and distributing food,
medicine and clothing to the needs
of the world, Mr.. Snyder said. Re-
cruiting stopped some time ago ex-
cept for limited number of special
lists in fields such as public health
and industrial experts. These peo-
pie, he continued, and the small
number of requirements that may
eventually be hired, will be given
individual orientation programs.
Describing objectives of the train
ing program, Mr.. Snyder pointed out
it was designed not to provide
technical or professional competence,
but to provide a general orientation
to UNRRA's objectives, organization
and operation, specific information
to personnel designated for special
job-as the displaced persons pro-
gram operated in Germany-and an
understanding of the regions and
countries in which the trainees are
likely to work The center, he said,

800 Student" Peak.
Originally, the training course for
all personnel was to last two months,
but the sudden need for help in Eu-
rope when the war ended shortened
the training period to three or four
weeks and even less, Mr.. Snyder
said. He added the training period
finally came to be governed by the
time it took the trainee to get his
passport and visas, to pass the
physical examination and get his
Shots" and to get his equipment in
order. The number of persons in
training at one time, Mr.. Snyder
said, has varied widely, the peak
being $50, who were attending school
several months ago.
Last November a training center
similar to that here was opened at

morning in Providence Hospital, as

he was believed struck yesterday by

for possible brain hemorrhage.

more authorities are investigating
the. death. DR.. A. Magruder Mac
Donald, District coroner, is with

ing the result of the Maryland in

Another bicyclist, Charles knight,
II, of 1440 Thirty-sixth street NV,
yesterday was taken to Emergency
Hospital with a possible broken
back and severe bruises when he
was hit by a station wagon at
Twenty-fourth street and Virginia
avenue NV. According to the
police the driver of the car was

boulevard, Arlington, Va, who was
charged with failing to yield the

teams assigned to the operation in
Germany. However, both of these
centers closed after being in opera

here in Washington was the only
one still conducted by UNRRA.

THE TOURIST INFLUX
once again is tapping at the
old high water marks.
So says the Greater National
Capital Committee of the
Board of Trade, a group
which measures the tourist
tide here and posts local
businessmen on it's findings.
The committee only recently
wound up an intensive cam
paign for tourist promotion.
The goal is to increase the
sightseeing trade from a pre-
war volume of $45, 900 900 to
$6O,O 100000. The cash spend
ings represent close to 4.000,-
600 visitors annually to the
District.
The usual sightseeing spots
already report major in
creases in the number of out
of-toWn visitors. Lincoln Me-
mortal, for example, has had
more than twice the volume
of visitors this year that it
had during l945. Attendance
at the Washington Monument
has almost doubled that of
the past year, while Smith
sonian Institution reports
one-third more sightseers
than were recorded in l945.
Similar reports of increases
come from the Capitol, White
House. Jefferson Memorial,
Mount Vernon and the Lee
Mansion.
And despite the exodus of
persons connected with World
War II work, local hotels cur
rently show 80 per cent oc-
cupancy, whereas the last
preWar year showed only so
per cent occupancy. accord

Association.
