Urged for States.
The Council of the State
Chambers of Commerce has re-
commended that all Of this fund
be turned over to the States. the
District and the Territories-the
81 Jurisdictions which participate
in the program. The council
said:
Federal revenues from this 3
per cent tax have consistently
exceeded the annual grants. In
fiscal 1852, for example. the re-
venues were $3.50 million as COM
pared to grants of $186 million.
eff this tax source were trans
ferred to the States along with
the responsibility for financing
administrative costs Of the activ-
tiles, practically every State
would have more than enough
funds to do a better job than is
being done under the present
grant system"
The Labor Department puts the
amount of the tax collected from
the whole country since fiscal
1886 at $2.55 billion. Against this
it put the amounts for Federal
administration of the jobless pay
program, the cost of administra-
ton in the States, and a variety
of other charges. These include
the. cost to the Treasury Of col
Letting the taxes. the expenses of
the War Manpower Commission
of World War II and the cost of
the employment service.
$50 Million Surplus.
After all these deductions the
surplus was estimated at $50
million.
The conference Of Employment
Security Commissioners does not
60 the whole way with the Coun-
Gil of State Chambers. The con-
ference would take from this
fund sums to provide for Federal
administration. It would also
use the fund as a source for in
terest-free advances to States
whose unemployment has de-
pleted their compensation funds.
In the District there appears
no present prospect of undue de-
pletion in the $53.7 million COM
pensation fund. Proposals have
been made to increase the bene-
fits. This is counted on to hold
the fund within proper limits.
Another suggestion is that the
interest paid on the fund, held
in trust in the Treasury, be cred
tied to the employers who pay
the taxes. This interest amounted
to $1,129,00 last year. In the
last Is years it has totaled SILL
$4,000.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina,
Oct. PA book published by a
German firm here accused allied
soldiers in World War II, par
ticularly the Americans, of ex-
tensive war crimes including the
slaughter of surrendered German
soldiers and the rape of many
German women.
The book was printed in Ger
man by the Duere-Verlag Pub
fishing House. whose magazine
Der Veg was banned as Nazi in
Germany and Austria by allied
occupation authorities. The
English translation of the title
is ALLIED War Crimes and
Crimes Against Humanity (Doc-
uments of the Second World
War;"
The editor says the material
was based on sworn statements
by 5000 German war prisoners
in Darmstadt prison in 1916,
taken down primarily for the
defense of Hermann Goering
for the war crimes trials at
Nuremberg.
The German commander of
Darmstadt in Nazi days, identi-
fed only as Fischer, was re-
ported to have revealed the
existence of the prisoners state
ments. He is quoted as saying
the Americans thought they had
destroyed the documents. but
that one copy of each was
Smuggled out of the camp.
Verification Difficult.
Since each prisoner who is
supposed to have signed charges
is identified only by number,
there is no way of telling when
or where the alleged crimes were
committed.
Promotion material printed in
Spanish before the book ap-
peared said it would show the
horrible crimes of war COM
mitted by the Soviet armed
forces" in World War II. How
ever, of the 295 pages 122

trast to So against the Russians.

Documents on which the book
is claimed to be based charge
that United States soldiers in
the last year of the war shot
German troops trying to sur
render or shortly after their
capture. German prisoners are
quoted in an effort to prove that
Americans forced German pris-
oners or civilians to walk in
front of allied tanks or over
mine fields. The charge also is
made that the Americans bombed
towns with no military objec-
tives. civilian trains and hos

100 Cases of Rape.
Crimes which Americans are
accused of having committed
after the war include nearly 100
cases or rape, mainly by Negro
soldiers or drunken whites, beat
ings, and thefts..
The main charge against the
British is that they bombed nom
military objectives. They are &C
cused of having blown up a
party of &C (elite guard) troops
with dynamite after they had
been captured.
The French are accused, large
ly of theft and rape, generally by
French Moroccan troops, and
miStreatment of individual pris-
onerS.
All the Allies are accused of
furnishing poor food and worse
sanitary facilities in their prison
camps.
Most cases charged against the
Russians involved alleged mutila-
ton and murder of prisoners of

en- and children, and rape. The
quoted statements accused the
Russians in some cases of burn

others of mutilating men and

Cuf-Rate Sales Of
U.S.. Wheat Stocks
BY the Assoeiated Press

An Agriculture Department
official has assured Senator
Young. Republican, of North
Dakota. that Government-held
wheat stocks are not being sold
at cutrate prices.
Howard #. Gordon, produc-
ton and marketing administta-
tor, told reporters yesterday
that since June % the depart
ment has halted sales on its
wheat stocks.
Mr.. Gordon'S statement came
after Senator Young, a wheat
farmer who is in North Dakota,
sent a second telegram to Sec
retary of Agriculture Benson
asking a clear statement on de-
partment policies.
Senator Young said many
wheat farmers had been forced
to sell their new crop at consid-
erably below the Government
price support loan of 1921 a
bushel.

On Tuesday Senator Young's
Office here made public tele-
gram to Mr.. Benson urging that
the department bolster wheat
market prices by an announce
ment that it would not sell its

stocks for export at less than
the loan value. That is above
recent market prices.
Yesterday, Senator Young's
office made public q second
telegram to Mr.. Benson calling
attention to a statement this
week by Undersecretary Of Agri-
culture Morse that this country
could not sell wheat to foreign
buyers unless United States
wheat prices were reduced be-
low the loan level.
Senator Young said Mr..
Morse's statement appeared in
conflict with a department order
of June 90 halting sale of Gov
ernment wheat stocks because of
the new harvest.
Respectfully request that you
reaffirm the exact position Of the
United States Department of
Agriculture with respect to fur
ther sales Of wheat" Senator
Young said in his protest. ad-
ding:
II believe you owe this to the
many thousands of farmers who
lack storage space and are
forced to sell their grain on the
cash market at prices ranging
from As to go cents under loan
prices. Such a statement would
be greatly appreciated"
No Change Indicated.
Mr.. Gordon, who handles Gov
ernment wheat sales, said Sem
ator Young was correct about
department policy and that Mr..
Morse's statement was no indi-
cation of a change.
