Army Considering
RetriaI Of IIse Koch on
New Set Of CHARGES

Senate and Army investigators
pushed a new inquiry today into the
reduction of Ilse Koch's hfe-term
sentence as a Nazi war criminal.
Unless further action is taken
the widow of the commandant of the
BuchenwaId prison camp may be
released next year. Her term was
cut to four years by trial review
board in Germany.
Secretary of the Army Royal Or
dered Gen. Lucius D. Clay, American
military governor for Germany, to
see if new charges can be filed
against Mrs. Koch without putting
her in double jeopardy-that is
making her undergo second trial
for the same otfense. Among other
things, she was charged originally
with making lampshades from the
tattooed skins OF slain prisoners.
Closed Session Held.
Secretary Royal acted after a
closed session with members OF a
Senate Expenditures subcommittee,
headed by Senator Ferguson, Re-
publican, of Michigan. The Army
Secretary told reporters he is pow
erless to revoke the communication
but that Gen. Clay has been asked
to look into the whole case"
Senator Ferguson opened the pre-
liminary inquiry yesterday after re-
ceiving numerous protests from
Congress members and others. He
said open hearings may be held
at future date.
There is much more work to do"
record shows. Based on what we
know now, it merits a thorough in
vestigation."
Before leaving on campaign trip
to Michigan, Senator Ferguson in
st<ucted his staff to obtain from
Germany the official record of the
Army's review of the case on which
the communication was based.
In addition to Mr.. Royal, the
Ferguson committee questioned Will
liam benson, chief prosecutor at
Mrs. Koch's trial.
May Question Presiding Judge.
Mr.. benson told reporters he
questioned the right of the review
officers in apparently substituting
their judgment for that of the trial
court in weighing the evidence. But
Mr.. benson said the review prece-
dure is perfectly in order.
! Senator Ferguson said the COM
mittee probably will want to ques-
ton Maj. Gen. Emil Kiel, the pre-
siding judge at Mrs. Koch's war
crimes trial Gen. Kiel Is now
stationed at Scott Field, Ill.
Representative Klein, Democrat,
of New York telegraphed Mr.. Roy
all yesterday that Mrs. Koch was
tried on only a few of the accusa-
tions against her. He suggested she
could be indicted now on the others.
Protests were also received from
Senators Baldwin, Republican, of
Conn; Saltonstall, Republican, of
Massachusetts,, and Tobey, Repub-
| lican, of New HampShire.

SOAP BOX COMMITTEE THANKS ALL PERSONS
 ASSISTING WITHRACE

Tn answer to several questions relative to how the Akron trip for the Soap Box Derby winner is financed and broken down, Don Skuse of the Juneau Soap Box Committee explains it as follows: The total estimated cost for the winner, escort and car on the round trip is $l,000, which is pro- rated at $30.33 cents per car as there were 33 entries. Hav- ing entered five cars in the race, Sitka will pay Sl5l.65 of the total with Juneau footing the balance.
 Skuse again wishes to thank the persons who assisted with the race for making it an all out success, and states again that neither he nor the co-sponsoring Rotary Club have once asked for help and gone short-handed, and that, brother, is a plume in the caps of Juneauites when speaking of whole-hearted cooperation.

 BASEBALL TONIGHT

Following last nights postponed game between the Moose and Doug las due to neither team having a team on the field, the Moose club is. set to go against the Legion at 6:30 o'clock tonight, weather per- mitting.
 In all liklihood, the Legion will be sporting a new face in the form of Tyvol who recently severed with the Elks and expressed his next choice as being with the Legion.
 Also because of dugout dispute in the Elks den, Joe Snow, veteran first sacker for the club, temporarily preached relations with the Elks and played with the Moose in their exhibition game last Friday night. Word from the Elks has it that Snow objected when his placement on the lineup was shifted from cleanup man to that of lead off.

Intelligence on Revolt

today to find out whether United
States intelligence services had ad-
vance word of the revolution in
Colombia and gave warning to
proper officials.
The inquiry was voted by the
House Expenditures Committee at
the request Of Representative
Brown. Republican, of Ohio.
Mr. Brown said the uprising had
endangered the lives of Secretary
of State Marshall and Secretary of
Commerce Hartman who are at
tending the 1nter-American Con-
ference In Bogota.
IF they had been killed it might
have been an incident leading to
war" he told the committee
Mr. Brown said the inquiry
should determine whether State De-
partment officials were told of con-
ditions and, if not, why not He
added that he had been informed
that intelligence services of other
countries knew weeks ago a revo-
luton was impending.
Mr.. Brown later told reporters
that Rear Admiral R. K. Hillen-
koetter. director of the Central In
telligence Agency, and Army ano
Navy intelligence officials probably
will be called to testify.
Named to a subcommittee to hold
the hearing were Chairman Hoff
man of the Expenditures Commit
tee, Republican Mccormack. Demo.
crat, of Massachusetts, and Mr.
