To make us free and set us free!

fied at his trial before the high-
est Polish court that Heinrich
Himmler, Gestapo chief, had
ordered him to exterminate 6,-
000,000 to 7,000,000 Jews, but
that he was unable to carry out
this order because the crema-
tory ovens could only reduce to
ashes 10,000 persons a day.
Hoess is charged with respon-
sibility for the murder of 4,000,-

were Jews.

Open Evenings
The only time he attempted to
refute a charge against him was
when the prosecutor declared he
would call two witnesses to
prove Jewish children were
tossed into the ovens while still
alive. Hoess insisted they were
all dead before being consigned
to the flames.
Very Appropriate Time
Before Hoess testified the chief
prosecutor stated the. trial was
taking place at a very appropri-
ate time in view of the Big
Four meeting in Moscow. He
urged the Moscow conferees ob-
serve the proceedings and bal-
ance the accounts of what hap-
pened at Oswiecim with the
Germans' plea for mercy.

Hoess, captured in the Ameri-

when questioned by American
investigating authorities he had
sent 4,000,000 to death in the
gas chambers. He said the total
was 2,000,000.
Prior to being appointed com-
mandant of Oswiecim he was one
of the administrators of the
Dachau camp. He was sur-
rendered by the U. S. Military
authorities to Poland at the re-
quest of the Polish government.

BUCHAREST, (JTA) — The
Joint Distribution Committee in
Romania has swung into action
on the greatest Passover cam-
paign ever conducted in this
country. The crop failure has
cut Romanian wheat supplies to
such an extent the JDC must
supply matzoth to every one of
the estimated 430,000 Jews in the
country, without any assistance
from the government.
The JDC now has on hand
sufficent stocks to furnish each
Jew with approximately four
pounds of matzoth for the eight-
day holiday. Passover supplies
will only be sold to those able
to pay and the funds thus de-
rived will be devoted to local
communal needs.

Like Nancy, the use of electricity has grown
a lot in the last 20 years. But the price of elec-
tricity has been going down steadily. You may
not have noticed it because your bill probably
stays about the same—but how many appli-

'27? Now, you are getting nearly twice as much
electricity for your money as you did then.
