Reds Cite Nazi Document
In Deaths Of 100000
BY the Assoeioted Pres,

NUREMBERG. April 10-The
Russian prosecution introduced doc
umentary evidence today indica ting
100000 Soviet prisoners died in
German custody in the last four
months of 1941 and that manv
thousands more were too broken
physically to be useful as laborers.
The Russians, leveling their
charges at % ranking Germans on
trial as war criminals before the
international Military Tribunal,
read from the minutes OF a meeting
of the German Ministry of Econom-
les held February 30. 1912:
OF 100000 Russians once in
our custody there are only 1900 900
now available for work. Five hum
dred thousand were dead in the
four months up TO January, 1912.
At this moment there are only
100000 working However, it is pos
sible that this figure can be raised
by 100000 if the current typhus
epidemic relents."

Argentina Delegation
Returns 10 League on
buenos Aires Orders
BY the Associoted Press

GENEVA, April 10.-The Argen-
tine delegation returned to its place
in the League of Nations today on
instructions from the government
in Buenos Aires.
The delegates walked out Monday
after failure of the League to choose
an Argentine as one of the assem-
bly's eight vice presidents for the
Leagues concluding meeting.
Luis Moreno Quintana, chairman
of the Argentine delegation, said
"the Argentine delegation considers
the matter closed"
The only other subject to ruffle
the Leagues serenity thus far
Austria's petition to attend as a
member-appeared headed for solu-
ton on the basis of a French pro-
posal: That Austria attend as IAN
observer"
Joseph Paul Boncour, chief French
delegate, told the assembly in a
morning address that France still
was willing to place her mandates
over the Cameroons under United
Nations trusteeship whenever that
organization establishes the neces-
sary machinery.
In yesterdays proceedings China
proposed that powers holding man.
dates under the League of Ma
tions and those administering for
mer enemy-mandated territories be
required to submit to periodic in
spection by the United Nations until
the new world organization sets up
its truSteeShip system.
The United States, represented at
this 2lst and final session of the
League of Nations Assembly, al
though not member, was expected
10 make vigorous behind the scenes
opposition to the proposal. The Brit
ish delegates privately expressed OBJ
jections. Discussion of the plan was
deferred.
Earlier, Viscount Cecil told the
delegates that Britain would con-
tinue to retain Palestine and three
African territories (Tanganyika, To-
goland and the Cameroons) under
mandates until fresh arrange

Memorial to Mother.
The room was huShed,
All voices were choked,
Mama's gone-Our chain is broke
For forty-nine years
The circle was held;
Our mom oh, God,
Was the first who fell.
And yet the chain of life
Is still complete,
For MONS spirit reigns on,
Though she rests at Jesus feet.
Ours is to live, to work, to pray
That when He beckons us TO come,
We shall be ready as she that day.
No longer may. we kiss her blessed face,
But we know she's waiting there
To take us each unto His Grace
o God. help each of us this day
To live each moment, day and year,
That when He calls we shall be worthy
To enter those gates and see our mother
dear.
