HERE'S MORE ABOUT CLOTHING (Continued from Pafe One) stantial used clothing, for both winter and summer wear, is needed by more than 125,000,000 Europeans who have been liberated, or Of this number, mor than 30.000 are children. Clothing need not be in perfect repair, but all garments contributed to the drive should be useful to those persons who receive it. Underclothing and all types of cotton garments should be washed before they are donated, but need not be ironed.

(Evening dresses, tuxedos and dress suits CANNOT BE USED.) msertloa their central gold holdings as This probably was a lie. Some U. S. experts think Germany had much more. Even before the war, the Nazis seized gold in Czechoslovakia.

In 1939 they grabbed gold in Poland. In 1940 they stole an estimated $200,000,000 of Belgian gold from the bank of France. They ran out of Italy with an estimated $100,000,000 in gold. They looted the Yugoslav treasury. In all, Germany must have had at least $500,000,000 worth of gold at one time.

Since then, of course, the Germans have spent a lot of lt. They used it to buy goods in Switzerland, Sweden, Romania and other countries. They used some for espionage. How much they had to part with is where the experts disagree. The United tSates owns worth of gold.

The total gold stock of the world is estimated at $35,000,000,000. peace every German, officer and civilian alike, agrees. They say the Nazis themselves will never make peace and there Is no other German group strong enough to do so. This means that the Allied armies, besides crushing every particle of enemy resistance, must overrun every section of Europe held by the Germans. The Nazis are trying to capitalize on this situation by attempting to throw Germany into a state of anarchy in which there would be no civilian administration and virtually no communications except Army channels.

It would take the Allies many years to deal with this chaos Hitler is creating without a thounht for the suffering of Germans or the other peoples of Europe. Creating the Werewolves is one of the terror weapons by which the Nazis hope to keep any German civilian from taking any position to help administer the country under Allied control. 8,000,000 Dependents Tills would mean that American. British nnd Russian forces would have to build and maintain public utilities, install communications and feed 8,000,000 people, The alternative Is to have B.000.-000 starving people, with the resulting riots, on Allied hands. Under this chaos and confusion the Nazi party leaders could safely go underground to plan a long-range political campaign to sabotage Allied efforts to bring order to Germany.

They probably could escape detection rather easily. There Is a possibility that Hitler may be able to form a new murder society in chaotic Europe which might take years to stamn out and for a few months couple lt with organized guerrilla warfare. Whether he will succeed depends more on the reaction of the German people than on the Allied forces. If the Germans throw off the yoke of terror and Insist on law and order, Hitler will fall. If the Germans do not then the Allied powers face a huge and long task.

HERE'S MORE ABOUT MURDER FACTORY (Continued from Page One) Jung of San Antonio, to ques tion officials in the village, and re sulted in locating the asylum. Maj. Harvey M.

Coverly, Sausali- to, ordered the arrest of the three In charge of the "factory," said by the officers to be one of six set up by the Nazis Inside Germany to dispose scientifically of unruly slave laborers or those who had outlived their usefulness. German civil authorities estimated 15,000 victims were gassed and cre mated and another 5,000 killed by drugs or poison and buried in communal graves. 'The stench of the burning bodies caused Hadamar residents to com plain, and the bishop of Muenster lodKed protests with the asylum of ficials. That caused the Nazis to switch from gas to hypodermic injections and from cremation to mass burial. The slaving were described as "mercy killings" authorized by a 1939 Nazi statute.

Ghoulish Feasts Two investigators, Capt. Brinkley Hamilton, a British officer attached to ah American Infantry division, and Lt. W. R. Johnson, Love-land, Colo told a macabre story of death and tortuie and ghoulish feasts by drunken executioners in the, asylum, where 300 crazed Inmates were permitted -to run free In underground dungeons.

"Nobody would believe lt," said Johnson. "It had underground chambers with dripping water, bats flying around and little crazy men who jumped out at you at every the Nazi surgeon in charge. Johnson said 'T never aw a tougher looking man in my life." The job of the chief nurse, he added, "was to put the deatli needle into women patients. She was about six feet tall, built' like a football player and as ugly a witch." The head keener. 'a mousey-liking middle-aged man who had been -promoted from driving victims to thr'asyium to the actual Job of doing away with them," cave the of ficers the f.rst indication of how me asyium operatea, Jonnson ce-! clared "He told us the asylum never held more than 500 patients and showed us there were only 481 graves in the cemetery.

There were fresh, WASHINGTON, April 10 (T) Maybe the Germans did put all their gold In one salt mine but the United States government Isn't going to accept the story Just because a German official or two said it was so. The search will go on that's the word from Washington today. Some experts here are convinced Germany has a lot more of the yellow metal buried around the countryside than the $100,000,000 worth captured Saturday in a salt mine at Merkers. Others, however, think the saltmine hoard was the great bulk of the Hitler government holding. Inquiries at the Treasury Department, State Department, Foreign Economic Administration and Federal Reserve Board failed to produce any official willing to be quoted on the subject, but here are some facts and thoughts: Before the war, the Nazis reported The officers learned that from six to 20 bodies were dumped into each grave.

Capt. Hamilton, a veteran of 20 years at London's Bow street police station, said that on one day 600 Russians were taken into the asylum and not one came out alive." Only Some Killed "When we first walked through the asylum the insane inmates, laughing and screaming, followed us around in packs," Hamilton added. "There were dwarfs and stupid giants, but all seemed harmless. Only the sane people there were killed." He said that each morning the surgeon director, the head keeper and the nurse conferred on who would be killed that day. "One assistant said the doctor was regarded as a kind man because if one of the victims fought against taking the hypo needle the surgeon would not let the attendants beat him into submission," Hamilton recounted.

"He Just let the man go without food until he was too weak to object." The gas chambers and crematorium were operated by SS men from Berlin, the investigators added, "After their killing the SS men had a drinking orgy," Hamilton said. "They cleaned out the skulls of some of their victims and used them as drinking cups. Townspeople and former employes at the asylum testified to this." He said some of the victims were "young children who were half Jews." Most of the victims appeared to be Russian men and women workers who couldn't stand the strain of hard work and little food, the officers said. Many Poles and some Dutch were killed, but there was no evidence to prove that Belgians or French were slain. The surgeon, confronted by evidence and testimony on operations of the murder factory, was quoted by Capt.

Hamilton as saying: "I have always been a doctor of honor." HERE'S MORE ABOUT WIND-UP (Continued from Page One) front In the west, except perhaps for a short stand along the Elbe and immediately before Berlin it self. In the words of one operations officer, the situation In the west is now "more of a political than a strategic problem." Front line fighting men feel that one or two armored divisions or infantry combined can set out for any place in Germany now and reach it within a reasonable time. Most military men believe the Joint chiefs of staff in Washington will fix some definite line In Germany to which either the Russians or the western front Allies will advance and then halt, waiting for the forces opposite to move up and join them. This meeting, no where, probably will end what might be called organized resistance in the Reich, military authorities believe. A meeting by the U.

3, Third army and the Russians would cut Ger many into two Isolated sections, while a meeting between the Ninth army and the Russians near Berlin would accomplish a similar feat, making it impassible for the German high command to conduct any sort of organized war. This Is particularly true In view of the fact that nine-tenths of Germany's heavy Industry Is In Allied hands. Such a cutting up of the German army would allow German soldiers to surrender "with honor," because their military situation would be impossible. Almost all Germans, officers and civilians, seem to agree that there will be no formal peace. They say the Nazis will never make peare and there is no other German group strong enotiRh to do so.

They say the German sojoier would like to stop fighting, but that he will not give up until he knows he can surrender without danger of retaliation from the Nazis. The Nazis, with organizations such as the "Werewolves." are trying to capitalize on the situation by attempting to throw Germany into a state of anarchy. Some sections of the German population have been terrorized by the Werewolves, out in us lar nicy have been a flop as effective guerrilla opposition to the Allied armies. A check if the various Allied armies disclosed there, has been almost no sabotage of military effort pr assassination of Allied soldiers. German civilians, long dominated by the Gestapo, were terrorized by the Nazi announcement of the formation of the society of Werewolves.

It was sicntiirant that the first public announcement of the Were- wolves came aimosi simultaneously with Gen. Elsenhower letter to President Roostvelt in which the Supreme Allied commander said that no formal ending of the war i could be expected and' that a pro- lonsed period of guerrilla activity i could he'antlripatfd.
