krug Says 90 Millions
Proposed for Indians
Would Meet FirstNeed
D. the Asxo<,otsd Press

A $50 900. 900 program TO help
Navajos and Hopis was described
today as the forerunner of other
efforts to meet needs of the coun-
try's Indians.
This statement was made by
Secretary Of the Interior Krug
before the House Indians Affairs
subcommittee. He was the first
witness to testify at its hearing
on lo-year, $50 .00o. 900 program
proposed by the Interior Depart
ment for the Navajo and Kopi
tribes.
L am we'll aware" said Mr..
Krug. that the Navajos and
Hopis are not the only tribes who
need long range help. The Papa
COS of Southern Arizona. for
example. ale faced with a situa-
ton similar to that Of the Nava-
Jos. while the Sioux and the Chip
pewas of the Turtle Mountain
Reservation in North Dakota are
confronted with an equally serious
problem. Many other tribes could
also be cited"
Largest Tribe First.
The Navajo-Hopi bill. he said,
was offered by the department
because it involves the largest
tribe and because it was ready
first. He told the committee a
Navajo program is now in nearly
final form. and several others are
in preparation.
AS to the Navajo-Hopi pro-
gram he said:
I'VE can i'll afford to have more
than 10000 persons in an area
larger than many of our States
with almost no purchasing power
Nor can we afford to permit con-
tinued soil erosion on the Navajo
range which not only devastates
its productive capacity but also
endangers the huge Federal in
vestment in Hoover Dam, not to
mention the untold private and
public investment in the many
communities which depend on the
Colorado River for domestic wa
ter irrigation and electric power"

terror William E. Warne told the

Margaret Chase Smith Says
Women Should Talk Peace

Senator Margaret Chase Smith.
Republican. of Maine. a world
peace conference of women dele
gates-including Russians-might
get somewhere" in working out
a solution to current international
problems.
Mrs. Smith made the proposal
in a radio interview over Station
WWDC last night. She said:
Il have a notion-maybe it's a
woman's hunch-that were there
a half dozen outstanding Ameri-
can women versed In world affairs,
to sit down with a similar group
from France, England-and yes.
even Russia. TO discuss means of
attaining world peace, that they
could get somewhere.
The men have been given their
chance" she said. adding that
women might avoid the seeming
ly dangerous impasse that men
have created at the moment"

out of this type Of work" Nc
Carthy said.
Mr.. Royal said he greed that
I'VE must insist that our methods
of obtaining confessions are en-
tirely in accord with the rules Of
American justice"
But he added that any finding
II or my successor may an
nounce" won't meet with approval
Of those who have taken opposite
views of the case. There have
been reports that Mr.. Royal soon
will resign as Secretary OF the
Army.
Royal said he thinks publicity
on the case has emphasized the
contentious Of the German
prisoners and has largely ignored
the fact that they were pros
ecuted by loyal American SOL
diers and civilians.
Senator Baldwin, Republican,
of Connecticut, who is presiding
at the Armed Services Subcom-
mittee inquiry. said it is the first
time that Army prosecutors have
had a chance to explain and
defend their actions.
Reaches Back to 1914.
The story reaches back to De-
cember, 1914, when desperate
Germans were making their last
frantic drive to stave of defeat
in the Battle of the Bulge.
One German group. now known
as Task Force PEPPER" because
of its commander. Col. Joachim
PEPPER. surrounded a group Of
American soldiers who surrendered
their arms.
This prisoner group then was
lined up in the snow at cross
roads near Malmedy near the Ger
man-Belgian border and moved
down with machine guns. Ger
mans then walked among the dead
and wounded to shoot again any
appearing alive.
The atrocfty caused a storm OF
protests and after the German
collapse nearly TOO men who had
served in the Task Force PEPPER
were rounded up.
10 Leaders Convicted.
Army officials say that even
tually confessions were obtained
and more than 10 responsible
leaders convicted some two years
later.
An unsuccessful appeal for the
convicted Germans was carried
to the United States Supreme
Court, charging that Army in
vestigating and prosecuting teams
had used beatings. threats and
other improper methods to OBJ
tain the confessions.
There was so much discussion
and protest that Secretary Royal
sent an investigating commission
overseas, headed by Justice Cor
don Simpson of the Texas Su-
preme Court and Judge E. Leroy
Van Roden Of Media. Pa. Their
findings and methods also are
subject to controyersy.

Royal Asks Congress
To Recommend Action
On MaImedy SIayers
BY the Asseeiofsd Press

secretary OF the Army ROyall
asked Congress today to recon-
mend what the Army should do
with six German storm troopers
sentenced to die for the Malmedy
massacre of 100 American soldiers
The Army trial and treatment
of the Germans has come under
fire. including criticism from some
members of Congress. AS a re-
suit, the Senate Armed Services
Committee today began an in
vestigation of the case.
! Secretary Royal, the first wit
! ness. reminded the Senators that
he has authority to recommend
communication of the sentences
Then he added:
Il am perfectly willing for men,
bers Of Congress or congressional
committee to take the responsible
ity of recommending to me what
course I should pursue as to each
of these six cases"
IL Originally Condemned.
Originally IL Germans were
sentenced to die for the killing at
Malmedy, Belgium. of 100 Ameri-
can soldiers who surrendered dur
ing the Battle of the Bulge in
December, 1914.
Gen. Lucius Clay, commander In
Germany, committed sentences of
six to life Imprisonment.
Mr.. Royal told the Senators it
is an "undisputed fact" that at
Malmedy American soldiers. and
also innocent civilians. were
slaughtered in cold blood in total
violation of all the accepted rules
Of civilized warfare"
These atrocious crimes ought
to be punished by DEATH" he
added.
But MIR. Royal said the defend
ants claimed their confessions of
guilt In the killings were obtained
by threats and force sin disregard
of established rules of American
justice"
Whatever decision he makes,
MIR. Royal said, will not meet with
universal approval"
Mccarthy Cites Army Report.
IF the death sentences are
committed" he said, there will
be criticism that the deaths Of
young American soldiers are 60
ing unpublished.
IF they are affirmed and the
men are executed there will be
some who will accept unreserved-
ly the Germans version of mis-
treatment and it will be asserted
that innocent men were convicted
and fundamental American prin-
ciples Of justice have been vio-
lated"
Senator Mccarthy, Republican,
of Wisconsin told Mr.. Royal the
Army ought to be certain that 1t
had clean hands in convicting the
Germans. He remarked:
I'VE have been accusing the
Russians Of using violence, mock
trials and force to create the
right kind of psychological effect
to get confessions.
Mccarthy went on to say thai
O report of an investigation signed
by Col. j. L. Harbaugh, jr., of the
Judge Advocate Generals Depart
ment, said there were indications
that mock trials, physical force
promises of immunity and threats
to deprive their families of ration
cards had been used to get con-

The Smyrna Times received a
pat on the back from County Agent
William e. Tarbell this week for
the service the newspaper has
given to the farmers by carrying
important farm news and informa-
tion in 1948. AS examples the
County Agent pointed out the way
in which this newspaper handled
the news stories covering warnings
of army worm outbreaks in the
county with details covering sug-
gested control measures. Reports
of the farm and home accident sur
vey, suggestions for fire prevention,
and many other items were also
given full coverage and promin-
ence. Without the help of the
Smyrna Times it would have been
difficult to inform farmers and
homemakers about the problems
and the possible solutions, said
Tarbell. The Kent County Exten-
sion Staff is greatly appreciative
of the cooperation of this news
paper.
