Pleven in Paris and called a
meeting for tomorrow of all
Alsatian members of Parliament
to plan further action.
Protests "Only Begun"
Town and county councils
moved to take up the case and
a Strasbourg official said "the
protest movement was only just
begun"
Alsatian Georges-Rene Boos,
q, and German Karl Lentz, 80,
were the two ex = sergeantS
handed death sentences. This
penalty had been asked for them
only because the others were
lower-grade enlisted men under
officers orders.
Boos was one of the two
Alsatian defendants who had
volunteered and had not been
drafted into the German army.
The long delayed trial aroused
a burning national controversy,
mostly because it involved de-
PENDANTS from the disputed Dor
der province of Alsace, controll-
ed by Germany from 1910 to the
end of World War II but now a
part of France. Lawyers for the
IL Alsatian defendants who had
been conscripted into the Ger
man army argued for acquittal
on grounds they had been forced
to serve the Germans and should
not be held responsible for their
actions.
Relatives Demand Revenge.
While Alsatians called for
clemency, relatives of those slain
at Oradour- Sur Glane in June,
1914. demanded revenge.
The verdict. handed down
early today after 80 hours and
20 minutes of elaboration by the
court, was received without dem
onstrationS.
Only six townspeople survived
the Oradour- Sur Glane carnage,
in which the German commander
shot down all the men in sight,
herded the women and children
into the village church. slew
them there and then burned the
village. The action was In re-
prisal against the French under
ground.
