THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” e il OL. LXVI, NO. 10,159 JUNEAU, ALASKA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 4, 1946 MEMB ER ASSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENTS TRUMAN DEMANDS ACTION BY CONGRESS HORRORCAMP CHIEFTAINS POINTED OUT Dramafic Moment, Nuern- berg Trial-Witnesses Speak Right Out By NOLAND NORGAARD NUERNBERG, Germany, Jan. 4— —Two of the 22 Nazi leaders on trial before the International| Military Tribunal were linked di-| rectly with Germany's concentra- tion camp horrors foday as the prosecution ended its case against the security police. The most dramatic moment of the session came when Aloise Hoelleriegl, former guard at the| notorious Mauthausen death camp, | rose from his seat and pointed a | finger directly at Baldur von Schirach when asked to identify the defendant who visited Maut- | hausen in 1942 { The one-time strutting head of the Hitler youth movement, who prior to the trial contended he was unaware of concentration camp horrors, moved uneasily as all eyes in the courtroom turned on him. Then he leaned forward and whispered to Reichsmarshal Her- mann Goering, who sat nearby. Evacuation Ordered Another witness—Walter Schel- lenberger, former SS brigade leader and chief of the Nazi Se- curity Police foreign intelligence service—testified earlier that Ernst Kaltenbrunner, gangling Gestapo chief, personally gave orders for the mass evacuation of thousands of weakened concentration camp inmates in the path of the ad- vaneing Allied Armles. This was in direct contradiction of Heinrich Himmler's orders, Schellenberger testified, and was contrary to the word which had been sent to Gen. Eisenhower that starving inmates would be left be- hind to be rescued by the Allies. Orders From Hitler A representative of the Swiss government went to Buchenwald the witness said, and found “top- speed evacuation under the worst possible circumstances.” Himmler | was astonished when he heard what was happening and ordered the evacuation to cease immedi- ately, Schellenberger said. Schellenberger testified he then went to Kaltenbrunner, who said he had ordered the removal of the most important internees to south- ern Germany on direct instructions | from Hitler. | The Washington' Merry -gg- Round By DREW PEARSON | WASHINGTON — The new year! greets Harry Truman with two big, housekeeping problems right in-| side his own family. !

Col Michio Kitayama, asserted. Kita- yama, a communications officer at Homma’s 14th Imperial Head- quarters, said he saw the march from several successive vantage points along the road. The once-arrogant Homma tened meekly to the testimor Kitayama's responses (o prose- cution questions did not swerve from a previously-recorded deposi- tion in which he erted that the Japanese attitude toward prisonocrs was not one of “too great ~ern.” “This prevailed all (Japanese) army,” he explained, because Homma's men were busy reducing Corregidor and because of the Japanese belief that any sol- dier who surrenders has committed a shameful act and deserves pun- ishment. MORGAN 15 OUT IS REPORT: HE lis- con- through the SAYS HE'S NOT UNRRA's Operations in Germany WASHINGTON, Jan. headquarters announced today it had called for the resignation of Maj. Gen. Sir Frederick E. Morgan as chief of the agency's operations in Germany. The announcement said UNRRA “felt obliged” to call for the resig- nation as the result of a news conference in Frankfurt Wednes. day in which Morgan said he be: lieved a secret Jewish organization was connected with a large-scale exodus of Jews from Poland. (In Hovest, Germany, today, Morgan said: “I have not re- 4—UNRRA signed, for I see no reason why I should.”) UNRRA officials yesterday told newsmen Morgan resigned volun- tarily.

Byrnes is a man who, under| Roosevelt, was accustomed to run- ning his own show. He would send recommendations up to Congress without consulting the White House. He was “Assistant Presi- dent,” and with FDR frequently out of town he definitely operated as such. Now he sometimes forgets that there is a man in the White House who is accountable to the public, regarding foreign affairs and who | likes to know, sometimes in demil,“ what's going on.

PAA FLIES 25 ON ° THURSDAY FLIGHTS Pan American Airways flew 25 and Filipino | By DANIEL DE LUCE NUERNBBERG, Germany, Jan. 4/ —Confidential papers of Adolf Hit-] ler showed today that as early &s| the fall of 1940 Rudolph Hess, the|fall in war than take a diplomatic |lan | deputy fuehrer, was working se- | |cretly to establish contacts with| “reasonable Englishmen” to try to| iend the war. { A detailed account of his ef-| forts is contained in a 1,400-word |of the Armenian provinces of Kars River report to Hitler written by Hess lintimate advisor, | Haushofer, May 25, 1941, shortly | after the deputy fuehrer flew to| England on his vain mission | Haushofer reported that at the end of September, 1940, barely 4 vear after the war started, Hess| was instrumental in sending a; letter to the Duke of Hamilton | through a prominent Swiss official of the International Red Cross. | In April, 1941—a month bPlOrf," Hess' flight—this same Swiss of-| ficial, whose name was not dis-| closed, conveyed a peace feeler | from “important English circles” to Haushofer, as the deputy fuehrer’s | representative, the report said. This decument, now in the pos-| session of Allied and neutral in-| telligence, outlining Haushofer's ; part in the peace overtures, was, in effect the death warrant of the| professor son of politician Karl Haushofer. 5 He immediately was marked down | in Gestapo records as having' “sympathetic feeling and, contact | with the English.” His death, how-: ever, did not come until last' year when he was executed for possible | implication in the July 29, 1944, | death plot against Hitler and in| new secret peace negotiations | through Swiss channels. .- MacARTHUR 15 STARTING PURGE, JAPAN Every Member of Cabinet Who Led Nation Into War Must Get Out By RUSSELL BRINES i TOKYO, Jan. 4—General Mac-/ | Arthur today decreed a drastic' “housecleaning” of Japan's govern-| ment, and Premier Shidehara’s cab- |inet called an emergency session rm-’ tomorrow to consider methods of compliance. - Quoting informed quarters, the! | Japanese news agency Kyodo said | |that the two directives ordering a | | | | | purge of all men who led Japan in- to war would affect practically ev- Jery member of the present govern- |ment.

The meat packing strike threat was contained in an AFL Union telegram to President Trumen asking him to rall @ packing industry conference “to prevent a complete tieup of the entire meat packing industry.” Strike January 16 The telegram referred to a strike set for January 16 in 147 plants acrcss the nation and involving 200,000 members of the CIO United Packinghouse workers. It said: | “We will not at such a critical time permit a condition to arise, if the threatened strike materializes as scheduled, wherein half the workers in the industry wculd be on strike and the other ha:¢ weuld continue i | The AFL Union expressed its dis-' satisfaction with an offer of Swift &' Co., of a T' cents an hour pay boost to the CIO Union, which it added, “Appeared to be final” The AFL said it is seeking a $36 mini- mum wage and adjustment of other wage rates but did not list what in-| crease this would amount to on an hourly basis. | Board Meeting ] An executive board meeting of the AFL Union was called for Chicago January 11 and 12, and Secretary- Treasurer Patrick E.

FOUR PROPOSALS BY COMMUNISTS FOR CHINA PEACE Offcial Reply Is Made fo| Chiang’s New Year's Bid to End Strife By SPENCER MOOSA ‘ CHUNGKING, Jan. 4.—Chinese/| ommunist and Central government ragotiators seeking peace in dissen- ticn-torn China today discussed these four specific conditions ad- vanced by the Communists in their cificial reply to Chiang Kai-shek's New Year's Eve peace bid: 1.

HAROLD " OLIVER WASHINGTON, Jan. 4 — Presi- dent Truman called on the Am- erican people today to demand more action and less talk from Congress on legislation to lessen strikes, He also told the nation in a half-hour radio address last night that “time is running out” on most of his other reconversion measures because action in Senate and House has been “distressingly slow.” ¥ Congress returns Jan. 14 from its holiday adjournment. “Unless we can soon meet the need of obtaining full production and employment at home,” Mr. Truman asserted, “we shall face serious consequences. They will be serious not only in what they mean to the American people as such, but also in what they can do to s our position as a leader among the nations of the world.” “Year Of Decision” Therefore, in this *“year of de- cision,” Mr. Truman turned to “the most powerful pressure group in the world"—the American peopi: —“the great mass of our citizens who have no speclal interests, whose interests are only the in- terests of the nation The President deep concern over and fhreat- ened strikes in the auto, steely electrical and meat in- dustries and declared that war- end promises of cooperation from members of Congress, industry, labor and farm groups “have not all been kept,” and concluded: Can’t Shirk Leadership “We cannot shirk leadership of the postwar world. The problems of jour economy will not be solved by timid men, mistrustful of each other. We cannot face 1946 in a spirit of drift or irresolution.” First Congressional comment was sharply divided, and not entirely along party lines. Although Senaior Lucas (D-Ill said he thought Mr. Truman's ad- dress “struck pay dirt” and should spur action “on many vital issues,” Senator George (D-Ga) observed that the outlook is not as “un- promising or dreary as some think.” Senator Elber D.
