Charles Edison Backs
Dewey for President
BY the Associoted Press

WEST ORANGE, N. j., July g.
Charles Edison, former Democratic
Governor of New Jersey and former
Secretary of the Navy under the late
President Roosevelt, announced yes
terday he would vote for Gov
Dewey, Republican candidate for
President.
The one-time Republican, who en-
tered the Roosevelt administration
during the late Presidents first term
and soon became voting Democrat,
said in statement:
Our governmental house is choked
with litter and rubbish. 1t needs a
thorough house cleaning from top to
bottom. Changing one man won't do
the trick. We must have complete
change of management"
The son of the inventor, Thomas
Edison, continued:
"The-tWo-party system was evolved
to accomplish just that. Now is the
time to put it into operation. There
are no streams and no horses to
worry us now. There will never be
a better time to change. For the
welfare of the Nation I intend to
vote for Dewey"
Mr.. Edison, who served as Gov
ernor from 1941-44, broke almost i'm
mediately on taking office with the
then Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey
City, State Democratic leader
Mr.. Edison took cognizance of Mr..
Hague's action yesterday in Asbury
Park in swinging the New Jersey
Democratic delegation from Presi-
dent Truman to Gen. Eisenhower.
Mr.. Edison said: Frank Hague's
political double cross of the Presi-
dent Of the United States again
points up the domination of the
Democratic Party by the worst po-
litlcal elements of our country"

German Bishop Says
Iortures Were Used
In Nuremberg Trials
By the hssoeiotsd Press

STUTTGART, Germany, May Is.
"A German bishop charged today
that criminal methods and abomin-
able tortures" have been used by
American prosecutors in the Nuern-
berg war crimes trials.
The charge was made by DR..
Theophil Wurm, Protestant bishop
of the American occupied state of
Wurttemberg- Baden. in a letter to
Dr.. Robert M. Kempner, Deputy
United States prosecutor at Nuern-
berg. No comment was available
from DR.. Kempner Immediately.
The letter was made public here
by the bishops office. Bishop Wurm
told a reporter the letter was part
of a continuing exchange of cor
respondence between himself and
DR.. Kempner. He did not elaborate
on his charge.
Explaining that the correspond
ence started after he had spoken in
the Nuremberg prison chapel at
Easter, he said: After I talked to
some of the defendants and their
lawyers, l had the impression al!
the defendants were not getting a
fair TRIAL"
The bishop said he wrote to DR..
Kempner and that DR.. Kempner re-
piled that he considered the pro-
ceedings fair and just" Then the
bishop wrote:
"I have been most impressed by
documents from which it Is evident
that in the course of the preparation
of the indictments for trials which
ended with death sentences,
criminal methods and abominable
tortures have been resorted to in
order to obtain testimonies and con-
fessions."
Recently the Nuremberg trials
were criticized by an American
judge, Charles F. Wennerstrum.

educational institutions for Ne
groes, members Of the Cathalic
Students Mission Crusade will ex-
ert their efforts towards securing
equal facilities for the Catholic
education Of Negroes"
In addition, the resolution urged
Negro Catholics to "take advan-
tage of the many opportunities for
education offered them by Cath
olic institutions, with the aim that
they themselves become Catholic
leaders among their own people
in winning them to Christ and OBJ
tanning for them full recognition
of their rights as American citi-
zens."
Highlight o fthe conference was
a n international Mass celebrated
yesterday morning for the dele
gates in the huge Notre Dame
navy drill hall by a Negro priest,
Rev. Harold Perry, S.V.D., of La
fayette, La. A Chinese priest, the
Rev. Augustine Tseu of Marking,
China, was deacon, and Rev. Peter
Ryang, a Korean priest now study
ing in Cleveland, was subdeacon.
The Mass illustrated the univer-
salty O fthe Roman Catholic
church which has communicates
in every civilized part of the
world.
Father Perry, in addressing one
of the conference sessions, stressed
the fact that "more and more Ne
groes are turning to the Catholic
church as the true church of
Christ" He urged that more mis-
stones be opened, more mission
schools be built and more priests,
brothers and sisters assigned to
work among Negroes.
"The Catholic young people of
the United States, especially high
school and college Students" Faith
er Perry added, shave taken a
very particular interest in the
work O fthe Negro missions. They
also have been directly response
