Reich Women Held
Slaves by Russians
10000 Sick. Dying in Prison
Camps. Say Clergy.

BAD SALZSCHLIRF, GERMANY
German newspapers in the west
r occupation zones quoted Ger.
man church welfare leaders as
claiming that 10000 sick and dying
German women were slaves" in
Russian prison camps.
The women were captured female
personnel of the German army and
"deported" refugees, the news
papers said.
A Catholic official, who asked not
to be quoted by name, said the
women we're treated "worse than
slaves"
The assertions could not be
checked with American or British
army authorities, who said "the
Russians never give us any infor-
nation about prisoners"
Five emaciated German "WACs"
released from Russian camps vol
unteered the statement that "hun-
dreds" of women working in Soviet
mines and blast furnaces were dy-
ing from disease and starvation.
They said German girls were
treated "worse than the men" pris-
oners. However, they said the Rus
SLAMS handled their own women as
badly" and Russian girls worked
with them in the mines.
The five admitted they were re-
leased by the Russians because of
our Sickness"
American YMCA officials in Ger
many said the churchman's claims
agreed with what returning German
prisoners of war reported. U. S.
army headquarters said "the allie
cations may be true, but we have no
idea. We estimate three million
German prisoners of war are in
Russia"

Undulant Fever

Brucellosis, commonly known as
"Bang's disease" attacks hogs as
well as cattle. When humans con-
tract the disease through milk or
meat from infected animals, it is
known as undulant fever. Undulant

Floor Leadership
BY the Assoeietsd Press

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. THE Mary
land General Assembly, its forward
motion checked by contention over
the House Democratic floor leader,
|reconvened In Annapolis today after
a weekend recess during which
State administration forces sought
to settle the argument.
A floor leader for the House of
Delegates remained unnamed, fore
stalling selection of the committee
|chairmen.
It was understood when the Leg
islature recessed Friday that Dele
gate Anthony F. Didomenico, Demo-
|crat, of Baltimore had been in
dorsed by the Lane administration
as compromise for the floor leader
ship. But later reports circulated
that Mr.. Didomenico will get some
other committee position
Luber Seeks Post.
Delegate John c. Luber, Democrat,
of Baltimore was still trying to be
|re-elected as Ways and Means Com
mittee chairman, by virtue of which
he would remain as floor leader as
he was in the 1945 session.
Jack Pollack, political leader in
the Baltimore fourth district, sought
the job for one of his delegates,
either Albert L. Sklar, Bernard S.
Melnicove or jerome Robinson. Mr..
Pollack's forces gave Gov. Lane a
substantial majority in the fourth
district while Mr.. Luber backed
former State Comptroller j. Millard
Tawes for the goyernship in the
Democratic primary last June.
Yesterday, Gov. Lane and his
Legislative advisers conferred with a
dozen or so Democratic delegates.
Six OF those called in were Eastern
Shoremen, who for the most part,
backed Mr.. Tawes.
A number of legislators have fore
cast a stormy session if Mr.. Luber is
denied the post.
Funk Sees Governor.
Among those conferring with Gov
Lane was former State Senator
John B. Funk of Frederick County,
chairman of the Senate Finance
Committee last session and a legis-
lative council fiscal expert promi-
nently mentioned for appointment
as Secretary of State.
There was a question whether
Senator Funk, if appointed, would
serve after the Legislature adjourns
about April because the secretary's
salary is limited to $2,500 annually.
Senate President Joseph r.
Byrnes. Democrat, of Baltimore, was
expected to announce the chairmen
and members of additional Senate
committees during the day SO study
can get under way on the $50
Legislative Council bills previously
introduced.
/. Observers deemed 1t highly pos
sible if a Baltimore city man be-
comes House floor leader the chair
manship of the House Judiciary
Committee will be given Demo-
cratic county delegate.
Two Attorneys Mentioned.
Two attorneys, Leroy Pumphrey of
Prince Georges and John E. Clark
Of Hartford are among those men,
toned. Both have had considerable
committee experience.
Mr.. Lane will be inaugurated to-
morrow for his four-year elective
term as Governor. He was sworn
in last Friday for the unexpired
fve-day term of Gov. O'Conor, who
resigned to become United States
Senator.
Yesterday Cow LANE named Ber-
tram l.. Boone II, two-term mem
ber of the House of Delegates and

Building Proposal

A committee of four today was
preparing to study the possibility
of constructing new building, SINH

Center, to house the Montgomery
County Health Department at Rock
willie.
The committee, members of which
were announced yesterday at a
meeting Of the Montgomery County

chairr1ans Mrs. Dexter M. Builard
Rockville Walter Pratt OF Kensing-
ton, president of the County Tuber-

ficer.
Building Recommended.
Erection of such a building would
be in line with recommendations
made last Friday in a report by
the Health Committee of the Mont
gomery County Community Chest
planning division. The report, pre-
pared by a group representing about
80 organizations in the county in
terested in a health program. was
explained to the Lay Council yester-
day by Mrs. Madge Longley, execu-
tive secretary of the County Health
Fund, a Community Chest agency.
According to DR.. Ellicott, the lat
ter committee recommended that an
extensive health program for the
county be drawn up by them to in
clude better facilities for health
work. The committee also expressed
a belief there is enough interest
and talent "in the county to plan
its own program without inviting
outside help, DR.. Ellicott declared.
An ideal site for the new building.
it was suggested, would be the Welch
Athletic Field in Rockville. A new
recreation area is being planned for
the county seat, DR.. Ellicott said.
Several organizations already have
indicated they would support such a
move, he added.
Federal Fund to Aid.
The health officer said the pro-
posed building probably would be of
a three-story brick construction
and would be erected under pro-
visions of the Hill-Burton Act,
which authorizes use of Federal
funds for one-third OF the cost. The
project first would have to be ap-
proved by the State Planning Com
mission, he said.
The Health Department now uses
offices and facilities in the old So
cial Agencies Building in Rockville.
The council named Mrs. Donald
F. Roberts of Bethesda, Mrs.
Charles M. Upton, Poolesville, and
Mrs. Frank Smith, Silver Spring, as
a nominating committee to select a
slate of officers for election at the
next meeting on March 81.
