Five Men Board Bus,
Seize 70 Weekly Passes

A Capital Transit bus driver re-
ported to police that five colored
men entered his bus early today at
Seventh and o street NV. and fed
with 20 weekly passes.
The driver, Robert G. Let's, 81
Ethan Allen avenue, Takoma Park,
Nd, said two men entered the front
door Of his parked empty bus while
another three came through the
rear door.
He said he walked to the rear OF
the bus to collect fares from those
in the rear and the other two men
seated in front, grabbed a book Of
passes from the dashboard. Then
all five fled on foot with the passes,
good for this week and worth $50.75

dence for and against Use Koch
was in large measure direct eye
witness testimony"
Major Made Recommendation.
The first recommendation that
Frau Koch's sentence be committed,
the subcommittee reported, came
from Mai. Thomas c. Marmon after
O review of the case submitted to
him by Harold E. Kuhn and Rich
ard A. Schneider.
Maj Marmon made his recon-
mendation to his superior, 1t. Col.
c. z. Straight, deputy judge advo-
cate for war crimes, because he dis
believed the testimony regarding
Use Koch's role as assistant camp
commander and that pertaining to
her having prisoners executed for
their tattooed skins, and that,
therefore, she was not within the
charge" the report said.
This review then went to Col. J. L.
Harbaugh, judge advocate general
of the European theater, who,
without having read the complete
record of the trial, concurred in the
recommendation" and forwarded it
to Gen. Clay, the report said.
at is surprising that the only
written justification for the COM
mutation of Use Koch in existence
at the time of the signing Of the
order (by Gen. Clay was the re-
view made by Mr.. Kuhn and Mr..
Schneider" the subcommittee COM
mented.
Explanation Sought in October.
It also reported that it was not
until October 8, after the Senate
investigation had been initiated,
that Col. Harbaugh ordered board
Of review ito reconvene and explain
more fully the reasoning by which
it had arrived at its recommended
tions."
The group quoted Col. Hoard F.
Bresee, chief of the war crimes
board of review branch, as saying
that the Buchenwald cases were
the only ones in which he did not
make any recommendation in writ
ing"
1--WE do not attempt to draw any
conclusion from this omissoin," the
subcommittee stated 1--WE do wish

tence on Use Koch apparently on
the sole basis of the sketchy and
incomplete written recommendation
of 1t. Col Straight, concurred in
by the other reviewing officers"
Pointing out that Col. Harbaugh
based his recommendation on the
ground that he did not believe she
was responsible for the deaths of
any of the inmates" the subcom-
mittee declared that If the evidence
was sufficient to support a finding
of guilty there can be no degree
of guilt as to participation in the
common design"
Eight Officers on Court.
There were no mitigating cir
cumstances" in the Koch case, the
group said, and whatever she did
"she did as volunteer"
1t pointed out that the trial court
was composed Of eight high-ranking
Army officers, one of them an ex-
perienced lawyer.
The subcommittee concluded that
the action had caused some loss Of
prestige to the Army in Germany.
It also released testimony by the
witnesses who appeared before it.
The witnesses included Army
Secretary Royal who said concern
ing the record of the Koch case:
Reading that alone, = . would be
subject to criticism"
However, the secretary added that
amy damage that has been done
the occupation already has been
done in large measure" since 1T
has already gotten into the public
press"
The subcommittee said that 1t
hoped that a full disclosure now
will at least dissipate the be-
lief that any one connected with the
review consciously acted adversely
to the best interests Of the United
States, regardless of the gross negli-
gence involved"
Prosecutor Testifies.
william D. benson of Falls
Church, the prosecutor in the case,
also appeared before the subcom-
mittee. He said that the evidence
presented in the Koch case would
have been suficient to convict her
in a court In this country.
There was some hearsay," he
admitted. But he pointed to the
trial testimony of DR.. Konrad Nor
gen, a German Judge investigator,
when he stated that she had
caused the death Of numerous pris-
oners."
But did you have testimony, d.
rect witnesses, that she was respon-
sible for deaths and beatings" SEN
ator Ferguson asked.
Yes SIR" he replied. He added
Frau Koch personally beat prisoners
and that one of those so beaten
testified at the trial.
Gen. Clay did not testify but he
told a news conference here October
81: My judgment may have been
wrong, but 1t is the judgment for
which I am responsible to my own
conscience, dictated in the sincere
belief that in the years to come
those who read the history of that
evidence would not find that the
sentence conformed to American
justice and 1t would leave our war
trials themselves on q record not
Of complete justice as we would
want them"

Younger 6. 0. P. Senators
Ask Delay on New Leaders

Delay in electing the Republican
Senatorial leaders has been asked
by some of the younger Repub-
lican Senators, who are opposed to
a mere reshuffling Of the leadership
in the 80th Congress.
Senator Millikin of Colorado,
chairman of the Republican Con-
ference Of the Senate, has received
letters asking that five days no.
tice be given, in writing, Of the
organization meeting. The Colo
RADIO Senator, who tentatively has
been slated for the party floor lead
ership, said that careful considera-
ton is being given to the letters,
and that in any event ample notice
of the meeting will be given.
Some definite decision is expected
early this week, for party veterans
insist that the Republicans must
be organized when the new Con-
gress meets January 8.

Arctic Weather Delays
New Rescue Attempts
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
A new attempt to rescue 10 air
men helplessly huddled on the bleak
Greenland icecap was delayed today
by Arctic elements.
An Air Force official said a Csc
towing a glider to Greenland base
was forced to turn back to Goose
Bay, Labrador, because Of bad
weather.
This is the third glider the Air
Force has logged up for the Green
land rescue. One was ruined by
high winds. Another, dropped
Christmas Day, snapped its towlne
in a rescue attempt and may be
damaged.
The men are well supplied.
Would-Be Rescuers Included.
Almost half of them are would-be
rescuers. The original seven crashed
in a CAT December 8. The scene
is a snow-covered spot about 100
miles from the Air Forces nearest
base, BLUE West /.
Two men cracked up a Bit in a
rescue attempt December IS and
joined the first group in snow hut,
eating food dropped by planes from
the base.
On December II a glider with two
men aboard was dropped, but at
temps to snatch 1t into the air with
the marooned men failed Finally
two more men went in Christmas
Day, making the total -.
Meanwhile, the Arctic expert, Col.
Bernt Balchen, reached winnipeg,
Canada, in a flight from Alaska to
aid in the rescue.
A jet equipped CAT Of the Air
Force is waiting at another Green
land base, BLUE West Q, some $50
miles north Of the crash scene. This
ski-mounted plane has been waiting
for a break in the weather.
Another Plane at Goose Bay.
Another plane, q C-82, arrived
at Goose Bay last night with a
hQOCkcO.QOWll NCSSlld du P4aAAS.
Equipped with skis, the light Cessna
can carry three or four passengers
and take of with a short run. the
Air Force official said.
Either the Cessna or the jet
equipped CAT seems more likely to
get the men of, since the glider
method has been unsuccessful up to
now, he said. The main difficulty
with the glider pickup seems to be
that the glider sticks in the snow,
requiring a violent jerk to free It,
This in turn is believed responsible
for the breaking OF tow lines.
The men on the ice got their
Christmas turkey and a Christmas
sermon. The turkey was dropped
to them and the chaplain at BLUE
West delivered the sermon by
radio.

The subcommittee report was on
its closed hearings on the COM
mutation of sentence by Gen. Lucius
D. Clay, military governor Of Ger
many, last June 8.
I'm our opinion, the findings Of
the trial court (Which convicted
Frau Koch and 81 others were JUS
tilted by the record" and there was
mo persuasive mitigating evidence
In the record to justify any reduc-
ton in the sentence" the report de-

ror" of the military authorities in

the communication action for two
months.
2. Found that there was no
dearth of evidence" against Frau
Koch and that. If the reviewing au-
thorities later were to "analyze each
act committed and to decide on a
sentence commensurate with those
specific acts" the prosecutor should
have been forewarneo.
3. Concluded that there had been
an incomplete presentation OF the
facts to the reviewing authority and
recommended that the review proc
ess in future cases include consld-
Grafton Of prosecution interests as
well as of the defense.

Husband Ran Buchenwald.
Frau Koch, ii, was the wife of the
commandant of the concentration
camp at Buchenwald, which Hitler
built as the largest prison of its
kind in the world. She was not an
official at the camp and was con-
victed by an American Military
court of encouraging, aiding, abett-
ing and participating in its motor
ius operations which included in
famous medical experiments, beat
ing and all types of killings.
The subcommittee found that
Frau Koch was apparently a most
bestial woman" and appeared to
agree with several witnesses at her
trial who testified that she pos
sessed human skin lamp shades, a
skin-bound album and human skin
gloves.
The credibinty of the witnesses
who testified to the lamp shade
story was attacked by defense
counsel and other witnesses at the
trial and the reviewing authority
agreed with the defense but the
subcommittee concluded:
