All Convicted Of Killing

BY the Assoeioted Press

MUNICH, Germany, Oct. 22.-
Ten German war criminals were
hanged today at Landsberg
Prison, despite recent appeals of
German Catholic and Protestant
church leaders that further exc
cutions be halted.
Alex Piorkowski, A, one-time
commander Of the Dachau concen-
tration camp, and former SIS Col

cigars to his troops after they killed
psrachuted ayiators, were the best
known Of the 10.
The men went to the gallows un-

All were convicted by American

Appeals Sent to Royal.
The plea for suspension OF the
executions of 139 war criminals un-
der death sentence was made by
churchmen after 10 other Germans
had been hanged at Landsberg last
Friday for similar crimes.
In kilograms to Secretary of the
Army Royal, the church leaders
asked that the hangings be halted
until further investigation showed
whether conviction of those involved
had been properly obtained.
The kilograms were signed by
Catholic Bishop Johannes Neu-
haeusler of Munich and DR.. Theo-

Gil Of Evangelical Churches of Ger

The 10 executions were completed

Revolt Against Truman
Handing
Virginia 10 Dewey
Only Hope for President
Would Be Strong Drive
By Byrd Organization
By Gould Lincoln
Stof Stoff Coyrsspondenf

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 22.-The
anti-Truman revolt among Dem
ocrats is handing Virginia to
Gov. Dewey.
The only thing which could save
the State for President Truman
would be an all-out, strenuous drive
in his favor by the Byrd organiza-
ton, and there is no evidence so
far that it will lift a finger for the
Truman -Barkley ticket.
AS the situation exists today, the
Republican nominee will carry the
State BY a plurality of the total vote
cast-anywhere from 43 to Al per
cent-with the rest of the vote di-
vided among President Truman
Gov. J. Strom Thurmond of South
Carolina, the States Rights candi-
date, and Henry Wallace, Progress
sive Party nominee.
Byrd Keeps Silent.
Senator Byrd, dominant figure in
Virginia Democratic politics, is
maintaining strict silence on the
Presidentialu race. Gov. William
Tuck is equally silent-although
some of his intimates insist he will
vote for the Thurmond ticket. Sen
ator Robertson, the States junior
Senator, has declared his intention
of voting for Mr.. Truman, while an
nouncing he is opposed to the Tru-
man policies, including, Of course,
the civil rights, antisegregation
program. The Democratic candi-
dates for the House have made SIM
liar statements, with one or two ex-
ceptions.
The Republican Party has solid
core in Virginia, not large enough to
carry the State but sufficiently large
to take advantage of the situation.
Four years ago Gov. Dewey received
145,243 votes in Virginia, losing to
President Roosevelt by approx
mately $1,000. Twenty years ago
another Democratic revolt against
the party's presidential candidate,
Alfred E. Smith of New York, re-
suited in Republican victory by
$4,000 votes.
The situation differs materially
from that in 1928. Then the only
choice the anti-Smith Democrats
had was to vote for Herbert Hoover,
or to stay away from
the polls. Now the revolving Demo-
Gratis may vote for Gov. Dewey, for
Gov. Thurmond, for Mr.. Wallace or
do as many did in the Hoover elec-
ton and stay at home election day.
With feeling running as it is against
President Truman, his chances Of
success in Virginia appear mighty
slim,
It is significant that the list OF
Thurmond presidential elector can
didates contains the names Of men

A French source said he did not
think the Palestine question would
be discussed until after the United
States elections, November 2.

General Assembly is expected to

Mexican proposal calling for the
great powers to compose their quar-
rels. The Palestine case is next

up something else.
A member Of the Greek delegation
said there was move to place
ahead Greeces complaint that her
borders have been violated.
Such q change. said the Greek
delegate. would have the support OF
the United States.
Palestine Issue Deferred.
The Mexican proposal was taken
up after Arab states teamed with
Latin American republics to defer
Palestine. Soviet bloc delegates
then declared 1t was part Of q plan
to keep the Holy Land issue watt
ing until after the United States
elections.
Members Of the American delega-
ton made no comment on that
point during the debate.
The American position was said
by reliable sources to be unchanged.
