BY The Associuted Press

LAKE SUCCESS. Dec. IA
West German representative said
today that at least 62,792 German
war prisoners "are known to be
still alive in Soviet captivity"
The representative, Georg Fed
erar. reported this minimum fig
ure" as a United Nations commit
tee prepared to take up a joint
American-Briti Australian de-
mand for U. N. action to shed lNht
on the fate of thousands of Ger
man and japanese prisoners taken
by the Russians.
The demand, placed on the
agenda Of the General Assembly's
Social and Humanitarian Com
mittee over vigorous Soviet OBJ
jections, is expected to be debated
by the committee today or to-
morrow.
Others in Soviet Territory.
Mr.. Federar, secretary of a four
man West German delegation
which will sit in on the debate,
said in an interview that the g.
1872 figure was obtained in a census
carried out among West Germans
and West Berliners by the Bonn
government earlier this year.
He declared that through the
census it has Furthermore be-
come known that from the total
of 100000 ex-soldiers listed as
missing by their relatives, 923, 900
were last heard of either in Soviet
territory or in Soviet-occupied re-
gions. There is evidence that not
all of them died in Soviet cap
tivity."

Solution Doubted.
He said he doubts whether any
practical solution" will be found
by the United Nations, but sug-
gested that If an inquiry commits

effects on Western Germany will
be important, especially now that
we are being asked to take up
arms again"
