Detroiter Found
Slave Laborer;
Saved from Nazis
Among the 2,400 starving men,
women and children rescued from
a prison train near Farsleben,
Germany, by the U. S. 30th Divi-
sion on the Elbe river, was Mil-
ton Kantyff, who declared that
he had once lived in Detroit.
He has a sister, Mrs. Rose
Segal, in New York City. The
prisoners who were slave laborers
being sent to southern Germany,
had been without food for six
(lays.
"The sight of the American
Sergeant
who opened the train
door was the most wonderful
sight I have seen, Kantyff said.
"Ile was the first man to hand
me a piece of bread."
Kantyff was in Warsaw when
it was taken by the Germans and
he and his mother were deported
to concentration camps in Ger-
many.
The mother, Mrs. Sarah Kan-
tyff, is in a refugee camp in
Germany and may soon be re-
united with her son. Her brother,
Sam Kantyff, lives in New Haven,
Conn.
Mr. Kantyff's wife, Bella Kan-
tyff, and daughter, Clair, a so-
phomore at Wayne U., live at
1644 Webb.
Kantyff was an importer, im-
porting mushrooms and other
products from Poland, and he
and his family used to travel ex-
tensively between this country
and Poland before the war. In
1939 he and his family were in
Poland.
Before the war broke out the
wife and (laughter left for De-
troit, but he remained behind to
finish some business. When the
Germans attacked Poland Sept.
1, 1939, he was unable to leave,
The family hadn't heard from
him for four years and had given
up hope for him and his mother.

Their belief is predicated upon
the reference in the Russian pro-
Tolstoy's
posal to Mandate "A" of the
League of Nations, of which
Palestine is the only remaining
one, and to the demand that the
trusteeship council include a So-
viet member. Unlike the British
and American plans, under which
Britain as the mandatory power
would have the sole right to
agree to the international trus-
teeship arrangements with re-
spect to Palestine, the Russian
plan provides that in placing a
territory under trusteeship the
arrangements must be made not
