10 Austrians to Die
For Murder of Jews
GRAZ, Austria, (JTA)—Ten
members of Hitler's last-ditch
Volkssturm, the civilian army
with which he hoped to stave off
the encircling Allied armies last
year, are awaiting appeals from
the death sentence for their part
in the mass slaughter of between
t9
ttqt '
200 and 250 Hungarian Jews,
murdered in a death march to
the Mauthausen extermination
camp. The men were sentenced
earlier this month in the first
war crimes trial to be held in
Austria.
The Jews, whose bodies were
dug out of a huge, shallow pit,
were massacred at the Praebichel
Pass, near Eisenerz, on the Hun=
garian frontier, at the orders of
the Gestapo, according to wit-
nesses. • Originally a column of
7,000, the . death-marchers had
dwindled to 3,000 by the time
they approached Mauthausen;
the others had died of starvation
or the efects of constant beatings.

Plenty of Gas for Your Neighbors
WHY NOT MORE FOR DETROIT?
EADLINES TELL A STORY. Those reproduced
11 above . . . with a single exception . • . brought good
news to the families in communities surrounding Detroit
and in most of the rest of Michigan. -
Beginning in 1947, they say, the territory served by Con-
. sumers Power Company' will have an abundance of.rich
Panhandle Eastern natural gas for the next quarter of a
century.
The single headline that applies to Detroit, -however, tells
a different story. It says : "Shortage Laid To Gas Corn-
pany" and quotes an extremely able, well-informed pub-
lic servant and member of your city government—James
H. Lee, Assistant Corporation Counsel.
After referring to the refusal of Michigan Consolidated
Gas Company to negotiate with Panhandle Eastern for a
supply and storage agreement similar to that which is
giving plenty of gas to other Michigan cities, Mr. Lee is
quoted in the above Detroit Times dispatch, as follows:
"Michigan Consolidated wants a pipe line and
it wants to create a shortage so that the Federal
Power Commission will grant it permission
to go ahead and build it.
"The City of Detroit isn't interested in th e e
Panhandle Company, and neither is it inter-
ested in Michigan Consolidated. It is interested
in getting enough gas. That gas is available
and the consumers could get it shortly after
Panhandle and Michigan reached an agree-
ment.
"Unless they do this, there is no telling how
long the city will be without an adequate
supply."
Panhandle Eastern stands ready to negotiate with Michigan Consolidated for a new long-term
contract which would give Detroit its full share of its enlarged capacity ... assure an adequate
supply of natural gas to your city for decades to come. Such an adequate supply already is
assured to your sister cities in Michigan ... to your next-door – neighbors. Will Detroit speak up
for its share?
