the United States Supreme Court
on behalf of 43 German SIS elite
Guard troopers condemned to hang
for the slaughter of 750 American
soldiers captured during the Battle
of the Bulge.
Colleagues of 1t. Col. Willis M.
Everett, jr., of Atlanta, defense
counsel for the condemned men dur
ing their trial last summer, said he
was carrying with him a review of
the affair in which he bitterly criti-
cized the handling of the case,
widely known as the Malmedy mas

trial headquarters here they under
stood Col. Everett intended to de-
mand a special review by the Army's
Judge advocate general in addition
to filing an appeal with the Supreme

fore him request from the Ameri-

commander, outlined the proposal at

farming, fishing, numbering and
mining in Alaska, but that they

legal and fraudulently procured con-
fessions."
1.-The Malmedy trial can be con-
sidered no more than the exercise
of victorious power under the cloak
of legal form, but it was totally
lacking the standards of American
Justice" Col. Everett wrote.
Trickery, Fraud Charged.
He accused the prosecution of
'trickery and fraud" and maintained
that the defendants had been de-
prived of impartial" consideration
of their case. He said the War De-
partment should review the case and
that President Truman should con-
firm or alter the sentences.
In all, 73 defendants were con-
victed last July of putting $50 Amer
ican prisoners and $50 Belgian civil
ians to death during the battle of
the Ardennes Bulge in the winter
of 1914. Thirty of them, however.

 Report Made

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.-lR- The Citizens Food Committee to- day estimated that it is 35 percent along the way toward President Truman's goal of saving 100000 900 bushels of grain for the relief of winter distress in Europe.
 Industry pledges will account for some 35,OOoOOO bushels in the next 90 days, a committee official said, but most of the rest must come from public self-denial and in farm savings of grain fed to livestock.
 In the hope of tapping another industry source, Committee Chair man Charles Luckman will meet shortly with meat packing offi- cials, the official disclosed
 Meantime the White House and legislators of both parties made plans for the Nov IT special session of Congress which MT Truman hopes will furnish about $1000,- CCo,000 to get the grain and other products overseas while setting up controls against imitation at home.

 Leekley stated that Southeast Alaska is most suitable for this industry and said that several sat- isfactory sites are available.
 Leekley was an overnight visitor here enroute to Anchorage and Palmer, where he will confer with Don R. Irwin, Director of the De- partment of Agriculture Experiment Program in Alaska.
