Ex-Army Aide Admits

'ShowWho Was Boss
Gy the As,ec;o,sd Press

A former Army investigator
said yesterday he had punched
German prisoners who didn't
move quickly enough or who
talked back to him.
However, he argued before a
Senate Armed Services Subcom-
mittee that the treatment given
German prisoners was much bet
ter than the Germans gave Amer
leans.
The committee is investigating
charges that the Army beat and
tortured German prisoners to
make them confess the Malmedy
massacre Of unarmed Americans
during the Battle of the Bulge in
1914.
Herbert X. Sloane, now working
for the Civil Aeronautics Admin
istration, said he saw another
Army investigator. Harry Thon.
hit a German in the chest and
the man then confessed taking
part in the Malmedy killings. Mr..
Sloane was not handling that
case, but was staying overnight
at the Schwabisch- Halle Prison.
where the preliminary investiga-
tions were held.
Would Have Beaten Nazis.
Suppose the German had not
confessed what would you
have done" asked Joseph Cham
bers of the committee professional
staff.
IT would have slapped him un-
til I got a confession out Of him. "
said Mr.. Sloane. II wouldn't have
been interested In the confession.
I would have shown him who was
boss"
Mr.. Sloane said he did NOT think
prisoners were mistreated, but
that investigators were "once in
q while terribly tempted to take
a swing" at prisoners after look
ing at the bodies Of murdered
American prisoners.
Tells Of Hitting Colonel.
did you ever hit prisoners.
asked Senator Baldwin. Repub-
iican, of Connecticut, committee
chairman.
"Yes, sir" Mr.. Sloane replied.
Asked for q specific instance. he
related his arrest Of Col. Hans
Trummler, assistant to Gestapo
Chief Himmler. Trummler was
working as a janitor at a British
hospital and Mr.. Sloane waited for
him at his lodgings.
He came In carrying a loaf OF
bread. told him to drop the
bread and get his hands up. He
didn't drop it right away. so I
socked him."
Mr.. Sloane said the general feel
ing about the Malmedy nvestiga-
tion-in which he did not take
part-was that things were a
little rough - nobody was going
to take any back talk"
The subcommittee is planning
to wind up It's investigations in
another week and then may make
a five-day trip to Germany to ex--
anime prisoners who claim they
had bones broken and were per-
manently injured by Army investi-
gators. .e ao.,.~,s e,,r
last week the Army ordered an
indefinite stay in the execution Of
six Germans condemned to die for
the Malmedy Killings.
One of yesterdays witnesses.
Col. Edwin j. Carpenter. said four
of about 20 German prisoners al
legged to have been involved in the
Malmedy massacre charged they
were physically mistreated by
American Army personnel.

SEWING MACHINE.

from Mrs. @. o. H.. Washington.J
II space is no object. I most
heartily recommend the purchase
of a console type machine. For
making draperies. bedspreads. slip
covers, coats, etc. the portable is
not as convenient. ! found that
a portable machine requires a
special table in order to be at the
proper height, and, too, 1t is rath-
Ier difficult to obtain. a table large
enough to provide a shelf to hold

sewing for over IS years, but after
trying to make one slip cover on

console. 1t has been several years
since I used a portable. so I can't
tell you about the mechanical as

standard makes of consoles adjust

very heaviest of materials.

clothing. including coats and suits.
and also make my own slip covers.
bedspreads, etc, SO my machine
is in frequent use. May I suggest
that when you do decide upon the
type Of machine best suited to
your needs, that you investigate
the various attachments which are
not standard equipment? I refer
especially to the buttonholer.

learn to use all the attachments.
you will find sewing much easier.

and between 200 and 800 Negro
youths who gathered in Lincoln

Ten officers were injured, five

tering into contracts with hospitals
inquiries of these hospitals wheth-
er they will accept Negro patients
and incorporates their statements
into the contest.
In a conference with VA Off
Gals here on February 81, MIR,
Williams opposed the use of such
a query by federal administra-
ton agency and urged the Veter-
ans Administration to take the
following steps to correct discrim-
inatory practices:
l. Removal Of the question of
race from the inquiry directed
to private hospitals.
2. Attempt by the federal gov
eminent to discuss existing bias
with discriminating hospitals in
an attempt to effect change in
their policy.
8. Survey by the VA to deter
mine which hospitals do not dis
criminate, so that the government
may contract only with these
hospitals.
4. Refusal to contract unless
guaranteed that all patients as
signed will be accepted.
S. Referral of cases in which
evidence of discrimination exists
to Attorneys General of states
having statutes for prosecution
under their respective state laws.
The NAACP requested the con-
ference after the refusal of pri-
vate mental hospital in New York
to admit a former Army nurse
who applied for assignment to
such a hospital under VA regu-
lations. Solely because of heI
race, this veteran was sent to c
VA hospital despite the general
policy requirement that female
veterans be sent to private insti'
buttons.
