81 BuchenwaId Aides
Guilty Of War Crimes
Rx the Assoeiofed Press

DACHAU, Germany, Aug. 12.-
All 81 defendants in the war crimes
trial of Buchenwald concentration
camp operators were convicted by a
United States military court today.
Sentences will be pronounced
Thursday.
Among the defendants was an ex-
pectant mother, Use Koch, the
widow of the former commandant
of the camp. She denied on the
stand charges that she had made
lampshades from the skin of exc
cuted inmates.
The notorious camp was cap
tured by Americans in 1916.
Mrs. Koch flushed deeply when
she heard herself pronounced guilty,
but otherwise showed no emotion.
The red-haired 5,-year- woman,
accused of many cruelties, became
pregnant while a prisoner and her
baby Is expected within a month or
two. Her husband died in 1943. She
tried to escape trial because of her
condition.
After the court president, Brig.
Gen. Emil C. Keil, pronounced the
verdict, the prisoners began pre-
senting personal pleas for clemency.
Those convicted included former
American citizen, Edwin Katzen
Ellenbogen, himself a Buchenwald
prisoner who became trusty assist
ant of the Nazis, and Prince Josia
zu Waldeck, former high SIS officer
who was the first German of royal
blood to be tried for war crimes.

Greek Army officials and political

the possible arrival Of American
troops, especially in view of the re-
cent London announcement that the

here are to be withdrawn in the

Many Greek officials hold that the

foreign troops is psychological BAR
rier against the Greek civil war
taking on more serious interna-
tional aspect.
The source for the combat team
report is not connected in any way
with the entirely upof1cially specu-
lation that has filed the Greek press
recently over the possibility Of Amer
lean troops being sent here.
Over the week end the uneasy city

Abe Board Will Seek
Rules on
Drinks for Minors
City Heads to Be Asked
TO Restore Policy Ended
By Vests Opinion
RiII ETlN

Robert J. Wilson, executive
secretary of the Washington
Restaurant Association, today
announced that association
members would continue to
refuse to serve liquor for con-
sumption by minors. He said
members of the ABC Commit
tee of the association voted
today not to take advantage OF
the new Interpretation of the
law.
The Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board will recommend to the
Commissioners that Section 20
of the ABC regulations be
strengthened so that minors will
not be able to obtain liquor
which has been ordered by older
persons in restaurants and cafes.
Corporation Counsel Vernon E.
West yesterday ruled that under
Section 20 of the regulations it was
all right for a minor to drink liquor
in a District cafe or restaurant so
long as he does not order 1t, pay for
it or have it placed in front OF him
by a waiter.
The ruling came as surprise to
the board, which for more than 13
years has been prosecuting owners
who were charged with selling or
serving liquor to minors when liquor
was found on the. table occupied by
the minor regardless of who ordered
the drink or who paid for it.
Alan w. Payne, chairman, and
William P. Meredith, member of the
board, pointed out today that in the
many such cases they have heard
the hearing was based on a citation
drawn up by an assistant corpora
ton counsel.
Chairman Payne said that under
Section of the act, the Commis-
sioners are given broad powers to
administer the law and he believed
they could strengthen Section 20
without having to get congressional
action.
They believe it was the intention
Of Congress in enacting the District
law that no minor should be allowed
to drink intoxicating beverages in
public places regardless of who Or
dered or who paid for the drink.

leading attorneys practicing before

Regardless of the outcome of

present admission policy only
under these conditions:

2. Or If business and civic groups

II these conditions are not met
and Equity persists in its stand, the

midst Of negotiations between the

The actors union Is demanding q

In his statement Mr.. Heiman

not change its present policy solely
on the basis of Equity's demands.
The statement follows:
"We will change only Cd If the
general policy is changed in Wash
ington by legislation or CD If busi-
ness and civic groups will revoke
racial restrictions. '-,
Local and national groups have
gone on record in statements to the
effect that once they break down
the policy OF the National Theater,
Washington, they will 60 after other
places locally and nationally.
Therefore, we will not be coerced
into doing anything which may
affect others. We will remain stead
fast in our position and be reconciled
to the final outcome. Let others
build theaters or do anything they
please. If we cannot get plays be-
cause of actors unions we will elm
mate presenting them and offer
some other form of entertainment" "
